3.3 Device Addressing Schemes

The concept of unified modes of operation centers on the current state of network
communication: Associated State and Unassociated State. In the associated state, the device is
using infrastructure equipment to communicate. In the unassociated state, the device operates
in peer-to-peer mode. There are three addressing schemes which allow the IT manager
increased flexibility in deployment: Network DHCP, Statically Provisioned, and User Supplied.

All of these schemes may be assigned per device, either by the user or by the network
manager. The network manager can also limit the user-selectable schemes or force a specific
scheme. Devices in each of these schemes can interoperate and communicate with each other,
so long as the assigned addresses do not conflict and are mutually routable.
