Wireless Access Point User Guide

AP Mode

Both Bridge mode and AP mode can be used simultaneously, unless

 

AP mode is "Client/Repeater". Select the desired AP mode:

 

None (disable) - Disable AP mode. Use this if you want to act a

 

Bridge only.

 

Access Point - operate as a normal Access Point

 

Client/Repeater - act as a client or repeater for another Access

 

Point. If selected, you must provide the address (MAC address) of

 

the other AP in the Repeater AP MAC Address field. In this

 

mode, all traffic is sent to the specified AP.

 

Note: If using Client/Repeater mode, you cannot use Bridge Mode.

 

 

REPEATER AP

This is not required unless the AP Mode is "Client/Repeater". In this

MAC ADDRESS

mode, you must provide the MAC address of the other AP in this field.

 

You can either enter the MAC address directly, or, if the other AP is

 

on-line and broadcasting its SSID, you can click the "Select AP"

 

button and select from a list of available APs.

 

 

Broadcast SSID

If Disabled, no SSID is broadcast.

 

If enabled, you must select the security profile whose SSID is to be

 

broadcast. This can be done the "Security Profiles" screen. The SSID

 

will then be broadcast to all Wireless Stations. Stations which have no

 

SSID (or a "null" value) can then adopt the correct SSID for

 

connections to this Access Point.

 

 

Bridge Mode

Both Bridge mode and AP mode can be used simultaneously, unless

 

AP mode is "Client/Repeater". Select the desired Bridge mode:

 

None (disable) - Disable Bridge mode. Use this if you want to act

 

a AP only.

 

Point-to-Point Bridge (PTP) - Bridge to a single AP. You must

 

provide the MAC address of the other AP in the PTP Bridge AP

 

MAC Address field.

 

Point-to-Multi-Point Bridge (PTMP) - Select this only if this AP

 

is the "Master" for a group of Bridge-mode APs. The other

 

Bridge-mode APs must be set to Point-to-Point Bridge mode,

 

using this AP's MAC address. They then send all traffic to this

 

"Master".

 

If required, you can specify the MAC addresses of the APs which are

 

allowed to connect to this AP in PTMP mode. To specify the allowed

 

APs:

 

1. Enable the checkbox "In PTMP mode, only allow specified APs".

 

2. Click the button "Set PTMP APs".

 

3. On the resulting sub-screen, enter the MAC addresses of the

 

allowed APs.

 

 

PTP Bridge AP

This is not required unless the Bridge Mode is "Point-to-Point Bridge

MAC Address

(PTP)". In this case, you must enter the MAC address of the other AP

 

in this field.
