3.1.1 Traveler’s AP Mode
The Access Point (AP) mode is by default the out-of-box operational mode.
When the user resets the system to the default manufacturing settings, the
operational mode also reverts to AP mode. In the AP mode, the system functions as
a standard AP, where wireless clients connected to the AP can then connect to other
wireless clients or to the wired network. For example, when traveling to a hotel that
has high speed internet access, the user can connect to the Internet through the AP
which is connected to an Ethernet cable in the room.
Note that the SMCWTK-G AP does not act as a DHCP server. In other words,
it does not supply dynamic IP addresses and instead relies on the network to
supply them.
