Wireless Operating Modes

The AXIS OfficeBasic USB Wireless print server communicates either
in Infrastructure mode, where there is an 802.11b Access point
acting as a bridge between the workstation/laptop and the print
server, or Ad-hoc mode, where the workstation/laptop
communicates directly with the print server.

Infrastructure (AP)

Workstations and laptops communicate over the WLAN and the LAN
through an Access Point with the print server.
See Print Server setup for Windows, on page 10 or Printer
Installation - Mac OS, on page 18 for installation instructions.

Ad hoc (Peer to Peer)

Workstations and laptop computers communicate directly over the
WLAN with the print server.
