Access point wired with just one machine

I want to make a wired connection to an access point from a PC, without connecting to the internet....that is "the PC" acts as a dead end.

Now configuring the access point with a SSID, would I be able to broadcast that SSID to which a wireless device can connect.

My question is whether it's essential for an access point to have some signal from the wired side or it generates its own signal. How can I generate some signal from "The PC" which access point can broadcast???
All I have is a "PC", a D-Link access point, a Laptop with a WLAN card

In this situation the PC would be your endpoint. Are you trying to create a wireless bridge? Or just a wireless share you can access when in physical proximity?

In the first case, you're connecting from your PC to your D-Link AP, to another AP, to another device - the PC could initiate the connection.

In the second case, you'd connect from a laptop, an iPhone, something with a wireless signal to the AP, which would then connect to the PC, the PC would not initiate communication or the connection.

What are you trying to do?
