2-2-1-1 Scan for Other Wireless Devices
There are two kinds of wireless connection mode: Infrastructure and Ad-Hoc.
Infrastructure mode is used by wireless access points, which is able to
establish wireless connection for you and other wireless / wired network
clients.
Ad-Hoc mode is also know as ‘point-to-point’ mode, and in this mode, wireless
devices such as computer or PDA will not be capable to establish wireless
connection with more than one wireless device, and is suitable for establishing
a one-to-one wireless connection between two wireless devices.
Before you can connect to any wireless access point or device by
infrastructure or Ad-Hoc mode, there two things you must know:
a. Wireless device’s ‘SSID’ (Service Set IDentifier, someone will call it
‘access point’s name’).
You can scan for the SSID of other wireless devices nearby, but if the
SSID of the wireless device you wish to connect is hidden, you must
know exact SSID before you can establish connection with it.
b. If the wireless device you wish to connect uses encryption, you must
know its encryption key.
