#: A single dot - channel 1; a single dot with a bar - channel 6; a single dot with 2 bars - channel 11.
#: These are [[Features/Ad_hoc_Networking|'''Ad hoc''']] connections.
#: They allow Sugar to connect Learners in radio range of each other without an Internet connection.
#: Sugar is connected to Ad-hoc Network 1; a color-filled circle with a single dot surrounded by two wave fronts.<br><br>[[File:Screenshot_of_Ad-Hoc.png|600px]]<br>
# '''[[Documentation_Team/User_Manual/Connecting_to_the_Internet|'''Wireless Access Points''']] - These may be present as color-filled circles (with or without a lock symbol).
#: These are the Wireless Access Points.
