Connecting in Ad-Hoc mode (Ad-Hoc Mode)
Here’s how to connect in Ad-Hoc mode.
What is Ad-Hoc mode?
Ad-Hoc mode lets you connect this unit directly to an iPad 
or other wireless device without using a wireless LAN access 
point. This is a convenient way to use this unit with an iPad 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.
