Typically, a wireless LAN-enabled client device will communicate with an access point rather than directly with another wireless LAN-enabled client in the same way as an Ethernet-enabled client will communicate with an Ethernet switch rather than directly with another Ethernet-enabled client. However, some applications such as a sales demonstration will call for direct client to client communication which is referred to as an ad hoc network. Ad hoc networks are supported in Summit software from version 2.0. To use an ad hoc network, set the radio mode of the profile to ‘Ad Hoc’ in the SCU profile tab. With ad hoc networks, you may use a WEP key or unsecured network (no encryption and no EAP types).
