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.

2-6 WPS Configuration
Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) is the latest wireless network technology which
makes wireless network setup become very simple. If you have WPS-enabled
wireless access point, and you want to establish a secure connection to it, you
don’t have to configure the wireless access point and setup data encryption by
yourself. All you have to do is to go to the WPS setup page of this wireless
card, click a button, and then press a specific button or enter a set of 8-digit
code on the wireless access point you wish to establish a secure connection -
just three simple steps!
For older wireless access points, it’s possible to perform a firmware upgrade
to become a WPS-enabled access point. Since they may not have a hardware
button to press for WPS setup, you can use an alternative WPS setup method
- input the pin code. Every WPS-compatible wireless network card support pin
code configuration method; you can just input the code to wireless access
point, and the wireless access point and wireless network card will do the rest
for you.
This wireless network card is compatible with WPS. To use this function, the
wireless access point you wish to connect to must support WPS function too.
