The following article deals with the setting up of various network structures using access 
points and clients. A client is also an access point in client mode. 
Standalone configuration with access point  
This configuration does not require a server and the access point does not have a 
connection to a wired Ethernet. Within its transmission range, the access point forwards data 
from one WLAN node to another. 
The wireless network has a unique name. All the SCALANCE W700 devices exchanging 
data within this network must be configured with this name. 
The gray area in the graphic symbolizes the wireless range of the access point.
