There are two ways for your device to connect to other devices in peer-to-peer mode. The first way is that you create an Ad-Hoc network on your device, and then allow other devices to connect to yours by joining the network. The second way is simply connect your device to an existing Ad-Hoc network, if such network is already created by the peer device. 1.2.8.

To join the network, go to the Configure Wireless Networks screen (Figure 22) using a second device. Repeat step 3 (Figure 22) and step 4 (Figure 23), the second device should now be connected to the newly created Ad-Hoc network, e.g. txtest. You can go to the connection Status screen (Figure 1) to find the devices’ IPs.
