1.6ZyAIR Modes

You can set your ZyAIR to operate in either wireless station or access point (AP) modes.

In wireless station mode, your ZyAIR must connect to a peer wireless station or an AP to take part in your wireless network.

In access point mode, your ZyAIR functions as an access point. This allows you to set up your wireless network without using a dedicated AP device. Up to 16 wireless stations can associate to the ZyAIR to form a wireless network. Refer to Section 4.1 for more information.
