Network structures

The following article deals with the setup of various network structures using access points.
Standalone configuration with access point
This configuration does not require a server and the access point does not have a connection
to a wired Ethernet. Within its transmission range, the access point forwards data from one
WLAN node to another.
The wireless network has a unique name. All SCALANCE W devices exchanging data within
this network must be configured with this name.
The gray area in the graphic symbolizes the wireless range of the access point.
