4.4.3 Bridge
The ZyAIR can function as a wireless network bridge allowing you to wirelessly connect two wired network segments. You need to know the MAC address of the peer device, which also must be in bridge mode. In the example below, Computers B and C will be able to communicate with Computer A through the ZyAIR bridges, forming a Wireless Distribution System (WDS).
