B5: What is the difference between “Infrastructure” and “802.11 Ad
Hoc” Network Mode?
How do I choose?
Infrastructure Mode is used to connect your Toshiba Pocket PC
e800/e805 with the Access Point. Usually, to form a Wireless Net-
work, you can connect your Access Point to the ADSL, Cable Model
or LAN Ethernet and then configure the Access Point base on the
User Guide for the Access Point to set the proper SSID, Channel
and WEP security service. After that, configure the IEEE 802.11b
WLAN adapter. Set the same SSID, Channel and WEP as the
Access Point’s. 802.11 Ad Hoc Mode allows your Toshiba Pocket PC
e800/e805 to form its own local network where devices communicate
peer-to-peer, using a shared SSID, without Access Points. Under
802.11 Ad Hoc mode, the SSID must be the same among stations so
that the devices can communicate properly within the Wireless Net-
work. If you want to form your network without any Access Points,
you should choose 802.11 Ad Hoc mode.
B6: Could I use the 802.11 Ad Hoc Mode to access the LAN
resources? How can I access the LAN resource without an
Access Point?
Yes, you can access the LAN resources without an Access Point.
Follow the steps shown below:
(1) Make sure your host computer already successfully connect to
the LAN or Internet through the LAN Adapter or the Modem.
You need to choose a proper SSID and channel for the
first 802.11 Ad Hoc station. For other stations want to join
the same SSID group, you could only choose the same
SSID as the first station for connection. The Channel set-
ting for the 802.11 Ad Hoc Network stations to join the
existing 802.11 Ad Hoc Network will automatically be set
as the channel number of the network
