Ad-hoc Wireless LAN Configuration The simplest WLAN configurat ion is an in dependent (Ad-hoc) WLAN that connects a set of computers with wireless stations (A , B, C) .

Appendix D Wireless LANs NBG-417N User’s Guide 243 An ESSID (ESS IDentification ) uniquely identifies each ESS. All ac cess points and their associated wireless stations within the same ESS must have the same ESSID in order to comm unicate.
