Setting up a Computer-to-Computer (Ad Hoc) Profile

The computer-to-computer setting of the WG511T uses Ad Hoc mode. Ad Hoc mode is an 802.11
networking framework in which devices or computers communicate directly with each other,
without an access point. For example, you can use this mode for two Windows computers with file
and print sharing enabled when you want to exchange files directly between them.
