Operating modes
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 an ad hoc network, see “Access points“, p. 113.
Bluetooth connectivity
You can connect wirelessly to other compatible devices
with Bluetooth connectivity. Compatible devices may
include mobile phones, computers, and enhancements
such as headsets and car kits. You can use Bluetooth
connectivity to send images, video clips, music and sound
clips, and notes; connect wirelessly to your compatible PC
(for example, to transfer files); connect to a compatible
printer to print images with Image print. See “Image
print“, p. 39.
The two devices need to be within 10 meters (33 feet) of
each other, but the connection may be subject to
interference from obstructions such as walls or from other
electronic devices.
