Connecting in Ad-Hoc mode
Here’s how to connect in Ad-Hoc mode.
What is Ad-Hoc mode?
Ad-Hoc mode lets you connect the BK-9 directly to an iPhone
or other wireless device without using a wireless LAN access
point. This is a convenient way to use the BK-9 with an iPhone
or other wireless device if you’re in a location where the
wireless LAN access point you normally use is unavailable,
such as when you’re away from home.
