Client mode

DMZ Network

When using the FortiWiFi-50B in Client mode, the device is set to receive transmissions from another access point. This enables you to connect remote users to an existing network using wireless protocols from a location that does not have a wired infrastructure.

For example, in a warehouse where shipping and receiving are on opposite sides of the building, running cables is not an option due to the warehouse environment. The FortiWiFi-50B unit can support wired users using its four Ethernet ports and can connect to another Access Point wirelessly as a Client. This connects the wired users to the network using the 802.11 wireless standard as a backbone.
