Network Name
This field shows the network name or called SSID, which your AWL100 will be
associated with. If “ANY” is the name showed, it means any network name could be
associated with.
Network Type
You can select from a list of supporting network types in this field. The network
types displayed will have two values as following: “Access Point” and “Peer-to-Peer”.
Access Point (Infrastructure)
This is an operation mode, which requires the existence of an 802.11 Access Point.
Owing to the existence of the Access Point, all communication is done via the Access
Point, which relays packets to other wireless Clients in the BSS as well as to nodes
on a wired network such as Ethernet.
Peer-to-Peer (Ad Hoc)
This is a non-compliant mode, which will allow AWL100 cards to talk to one another
without an AP.
