		AP/Bridge	AP Client
	AP/Bridge	WDS	STA-AP
	AP Client	STA-AP

To establish a static bridge link based on WDS, the AP/bridges at both end of the WDS link must be configured manually with each other’s MAC addresses. To establish a dynamic bridge link between an AP and an AP Client, both devices must be configured with the same SSID and WEP settings. The AP Client automatically scans for any AP that is using the matched SSID and establishes a bridge link with the scanned AP.

NOTE	Although it’s more convenient to use dynamic bridging, it has a limitation—the AP Client can
	only transmit TCP/IP packets between its wireless interface and Ethernet interface; other types of
	traffic (such as IPX and AppleTalk) are not forwarded.
TIP	When the AP is configured to be in AP Client, it can be used as an Ethernet-to-wireless network
	adapter. For example, a notebook computer equipped with an Ethernet adapter, but no wireless
	card, can be connected to this device with an Ethernet cable for wireless connectivity to another
	access point.

Managing the Firmware

Firmware management operations for AWK-1100 include “Firmware Upgrade,”“Configuration Backup,”“Configuration Restore,”“Configuration Reset (Factory Defaults). Firmware upgrade, configuration backup, and configuration restore can be achieved via HTTP or TFTP. The HTTP-based method is suggested because it is more user friendly. However, due to the fact that different Web browsers and versions behave differently, HTTP-based firmware management operations may not work properly with some Web browsers. If you cannot successfully perform HTTP-based firmware management operations with your Web browser, try the TFTP-based method.
