The ad-hoc wireless network will not communicate with any wired network. When a wireless network is set to infrastructure mode, the wireless network is configured to communicate with a wired network through a wireless access point. Appendix A: Troubleshooting Frequently Asked Questions 27 Wireless-G Notebook Adapter with SRX What is roaming?Roaming is the ability of a portable computer user to communicate continuously while moving freely throughout an area greater than that covered by a single access point. Before using the roaming function, the workstation must make sure that it is the same channel number with the access point of dedicated coverage area. To achieve true seamless connectivity, the wireless LAN must incorporate a number of different functions. [. . . ] This equipment is designed to be connected to the telephone network or premises wiring using a compatible modular jack, which is FCC Part 68 compliant. Connection to the telephone network should be made by using the standard modular telephone jack. The REN is useful to determine the quantity of devices that may be connected to the telephone line and still have all of those devices ring when your telephone number is called. In most, but not all areas, the sum of RENs should not exceed 5. [. . . ]
