A wireless LAN connection is established when you create
a data connection using a wireless LAN Internet access
point. The active wireless LAN connection ends when
you end the data connection. To end the connection,
see “Connection manager,” p. 85.
You can use wireless LAN during a voice call or when
packet data is active. You can only be connected to one
wireless LAN access point device at a time, but several
applications can use the same wireless LAN connection.
When you activate the Offline profile, you can still use
wireless LAN (if available). Remember to comply with
any applicable safety requirements when establishing
and using a wireless LAN connection.
There are two operating modes in wireless LAN:
Infrastructure and Ad-hoc .
The infrastructure operating mode allows two kinds of
communication: wireless devices are connected to each
other through a wireless LAN access point device, or
wireless devices are connected to a wired LAN through
a wireless LAN access point device.
In the ad hoc operating mode, devices can send and receive
data directly with each other. To create an Internet access
point for the ad hoc network, see “Access points,” p. 93.
