A Peer-to-Peer workgroup, as pictured in Figure 1 , is a group of wireless
devices that do not bridge their data via the Radio Link Module (RLM). All
machines within a Peer-to-Peer network are configured to “Peer- to-Peer”
mode.
The most simple independent network is one without a server, where
stations communicate Peer-to-Peer, e.g. by sharing a disk or printer via
Microsoft Networking.

Peer-to-Peer networks are typically used for small networks where:
• All wireless stations participate in workgroup computing, for example
using the disk-sharing option of Microsoft Networking and Printers.
• All stations are within range of a wireless server.
Peer-to-Peer networks are a quick and easy solution to set up a wireless
network at trade-shows, business visits or other (off-site) locations.
