• Infrastructure networks
3HHUWR3HHU :RUNJURXSV
A Peer-to-Peer workgroup consists of several wireless stations
communicating directly with each other without bridging data via the RLM
(see
Figure 9 Peer-to-Peer workgroup ).
To set up a Peer-to-Peer workgroup operating with the standard protocols,
do the following:
• Set all stations to connect to a Peer-to-Peer workgroup.
• Set all stations to use the same Network Name.
• Set all stations to use an identical encryption key.
