System Setting - VLAN Status / Operation Mode

The options on this page allow you to enable/disable VLAN Status, and specify the Operation Mode. The WAP250G can be set as an access point, a wireless repeater or a wireless bridge according to how you want to use the unit in your network (FIG. 24).

FIG. 24 System Settings - Operation

VLAN Status: Click the Enable radio button to maintain VLAN (virtual LANs) on the WAP250G

(default: Disabled).

VLANs represent a method of creating independent logical networks within a physical network. Several VLANs can co-exist within such a network. VLANs are commonly used to increase the number of broadcast domains while reducing the size of each broadcast domain, which in turn reduces network traffic and increases network security (both of which are hampered in cases of single large broadcast domains).

Operation Modes:

There are two Operation Modes:

AP — Set the device as an Access Point. The device can also act as a root bridge in a wireless bridge network.

Repeater & Bridge — Set the device as a Wireless Repeater and Bridge. The Root AP MAC Address can be configured manually or selected after clicking Scan.

In Repeater & Bridge mode, the access point only connects to other NXA-WAP250G units.

Reboot the WAP250G after completing the settings.
