Description
2.1 Network structures
Ad hoc networks
In ad hoc mode, nodes communicate with each other directly (connection 4) without
involving a SCALANCE W78x. The nodes access common resources (files or even devices,
for example printers) of the server (connections 1 to 3 in the figure). This is, of course, only
possible when the nodes are within the wireless range of the server or within each other's
range.
