Ad Hoc Network
Figure 2-2. Ad Hoc Network Example
In the example above, the AP is not present. The PC makes a direct wireless connection with the
WiBox 2100E to manage serial devices. Without an AP, it is a peer-to-peer relationship.
Serial Tunneling – Infrastructure
Figure 2-3. Serial Tunneling Infrastructure Example
In the example above, the WiBox 2100E communicates with another device server via the AP.
The WiBox device server, in this example, is connected via an Ethernet connection to the AP. In
this way, the WiBox 2100E and the device server communicate directly and can transfer
information between their serial devices.
