• Ad-hoc mode—Wireless computers communicate directly with one
another. Choose this mode if your wireless network does not require
access to data or peripherals on a wired network.
If the wireless network is relatively small and needs to share resources only
with the other computers on the wireless network, then ad-hoc mode can
be used. Ad-hoc mode allows computers equipped with wireless
transmitters and receivers to communicate directly with each other,
eliminating the need for an access point. The drawback of this mode is that
wireless-equipped computers are not able to communicate with computers
on a wired network. And, of course, communication between the wireless-
equipped computers is limited by the distance and interference directly
between them.
The Cisco WVC210 Internet camera is compatible with all 802. 1 1g and 802. 1 1n
routers, such as model number WRVS4400N, as well as all 802. 1 1g access points,
including model number WAP4410N. The camera can also communicate with
network adapters, such as the Wireless-G Notebook Adapter (model number
WPC4400N) for your laptop computers, Wireless-G PCI Adapter (model numbers
WMP200) for your desktop PCs, and Wireless-G USB Adapter (model number
WUSB200) for your computers that connect to the wireless network through USB
modems.
With these, and many other Cisco products, your networking options are limitless.
