PLANNING

SMC’s EZ Connect Wireless Solution supports a stand-alone wireless

network configuration, as well as an integrated configuration with 10/100

Mbps Ethernet LANs.

The SMC2635W can be configured as:

• Ad hoc - for small groups that only communicate with each other

• Infrastructure - for wireless LANs

Network Topologies

Ad Hoc Wireless LAN

An ad hoc wireless LAN consists

of a group of computers, each

equipped with one wireless

adapter, connected via radio

signals as an independent

wireless LAN. Computers in a

specific ad hoc wireless LAN

must therefore be configured to

the same radio channel. An ad

hoc wireless LAN can be used in

a SOHO or temporary

environment.
