The DWL-2700AP can be configured to perform in any of five modes: wireless access point, wireless client, wireless bridge, multi-point bridge, repeater.

Access Point is the default setting. This mode is used to create a wireless LAN.

PtP Bridge will allow you to connect two LANs together. The wireless bridge mode will work only with another DWL- 2700AP. Click to enable and enter the MAC address of the remote bridge.

PtMP Bridge will allow you to connect multiple wireless LANs together. Other wireless LANs must be using DWL- 2700APs. Click to enable and

enter up to 8 remote AP MAC addresses.

AP Repeater will allow you to repeat the wireless signal of a DWL-2700AP access point. Click to enable and enter the MAC address of the root AP.

AP Client will transform any IEEE 802.3 Ethernet device (e.g., a computer, printer, etc.) into an 802.11b wireless client when it communicates with another DWL-2700AP that is acting as an AP. Click to enable and enter the MAC address of the root AP.

Apply - Click Apply if you have made any changes.

Find the MAC address of the DWL-2700AP that is acting as a Remote Access Point or a Remote Bridge, by going to Status > Device Info in the configura- tion utility of the remote DWL-2700AP. There you will find the MAC address.

MAC Address - (Media Access Control Address) is a unique hardware address that identifies a device on a network. It is assigned at the factory and cannot be changed. Usually you will find this address on a sticker on the device or on the packaging.
