The Profile Screen
A profile is a record of the configuration you use to connect to a particular access point. Without
profiles, you would have to reconfigure the TEW-509UB each time you change access points. Using
the Profile screen you can configure the TEW-509UB to access you home network and your office
network. Each configuration is saved as a profile.
WIRELESS SYSTEMS WORK IN INFRASTRUCTURE MODE OR PEER-TO-PEER
MODE.
IN INFRASTRUCTURE MODE, WIRELESS DEVICES COMMUNICATE TO A
WIRED
LAN VIA ACCESS POINTS. EACH ACCESS POINT AND ITS WIRELESS
DEVICES ARE KNOWN AS A
BASIC SERVICE SET (BSS). IN AD-HOC MODE (ALSO
KNOWN AS PEER
-TO-PEER MODE), WIRELESS DEVICES COMMUNICATE WITH
EACH OTHER DIRECTLY AND DO NOT USE AN ACCESS POINT.
THIS IS AN
INDEPENDENT BSS (IBSS).
