Chapter 2 • Introducing the Cummins INLINE™ 7 Data Link Adapter
Mini Access Point Mode (Peer-to-Peer)
The easiest and quickest way to connect your INLINE™ 7 to your PC is Mini
Access Point mode. In Mini Access Point mode (also known as Access Point Em-
ulation mode), the PC communicates directly with the INLINE™. The INLINE™ 7
em
ulates the function of an access point, allowing the PC to connect directly to the
INLINE™ 7, as if it were an access point. When the PC is connected to the
INLIN
E
™ 7 in Mini Access Point mode, neither device is connected to the
company network.

If you use your PC’s internal wireless network card to connect t
o your company’s
network and the Internet, you may want to obtain an additional wireless network
card for use with the INLINE™ 7. Otherwise when you connect the INLINE™ 7 to
your PC
us
ing Mini Access Point mode, you will not have access to the Internet
until you have finished your session and reconnected to your company’s network.
