Icom AP-12 instruction manual About a MAC address

Page 17

■Bridge mode B (Client Mode) Connects wireless LAN terminal or the AP-12 (2) connected LAN system via the AP-12 (1) in access point mode.

-Only the AP-12 works as the access point.

-Register the desired AP-12’s MAC address, prior to communication, with AP-12 (2) when two or more AP-12’s operating in access point mode are available.

■Bridge mode C (Multi-site) Connects two or more wired LAN via the AP-12.

-It is not necessary to register the MAC address and communicate with other AP-12s easily.

-To avoid communication speed slow down, it is recommended to use up to 10 AP-12’s only during heavy traf- fic.
