Go to the General, Operational Mode section, select an operational mode and then click Save at the bottom of this page. This will take you back to the starting page.

The AP supports 2 operational modes:

yAP/Bridge.

This mode provides both Access Point and Static LAN-to-LAN Bridging functionality.

The static LAN-to-LAN bridging function is supported through WDS (Wireless Distribution System).

yAP Client.

This mode is for Dynamic LAN-to-LAN Bridging. The AP Client automatically establishes bridge links with APs from any vendors.

In either mode, the AWK-1100 forwards packets between its Ethernet interface and wireless interface for wired hosts on the Ethernet side and wireless host(s) on the wireless side.

NOTE	Detailed information about configuring AWK-1100’s Operation Mode is given in Chapter 3.
