Enterprise Security: Configure Profiles for Device to Device

(Ad Hoc) Networks

Set up a Client with Open Network Authentication and No (None) Data

Encryption

When Open authentication is used, any wireless station can request authentication. The

station that needs to authenticate with another wireless station sends an authentication

management frame that contains the identity of the sending station. The receiving station

grants any request for authentication. Open authentication allows any device network access.

If no encryption is enabled on the network, any device that knows the SSID can gain access to

the network.

In Device to Device (ad hoc) mode, wireless computers send information directly to other

wireless computers. You can use ad hoc mode to network multiple computers in a home or

small office, or to set up a temporary wireless network for a meeting.

connect to a device to device network:

● Double-click a Device to Device (ad hoc) network in the Wireless Networks list.
