Page 22: Access Point / Wds Ap Mode
The EnStationAC has the ability to operate in various modes. This chapter describes the operating modes of the EnStationAC. Access Point Mode In Access Point Mode, EnStationAC behaves likes a central connection for stations or clients that support IEEE 802.11a/b/g/n networks. The stations and clients must be configured to use the same SSID (Service Set Identifier) and security password to associate with the EnStationAC. The EnStationAC supports up to eight (8) SSIDs per band at the same time for secure access. WDS AP Mode... -
Page 23: Client Bridge Mode
Client Bridge Mode The EnStationAC essentially acts as a wireless adapter that connects to an access point to allow a system of wireless access to the network in the Client Bridge mode. Since the computers are on the same subnet, the EnStationAC can broadcast to reach all end-devices. -
Page 24: Wds Bridge Mode
The EnStationAC also supports WDS AP mode. This operating mode allows wireless connections to the EnStationAC using WDS technology. In this mode, configure the MAC addresses in both Access Points to enlarge the wireless area by enabling WDS Link settings. WDS supports up to four (4) AP MAC addresses. WDS Bridge Mode In WDS Bridge Mode, the EnStationAC can wirelessly connect different LANs by configuring the MAC address and... - Page 25 security settings of each EnStationAC device. Use this mode when two wired LANs located a small distance apart want to communicate with each other. The best solution is to use the EnStationAC to wirelessly connect two wired LANs, as shown in the following diagram. WDS Bridge Mode can establish up to four WDS links, creating a star-like network. Note: WDS Bridge Mode does not act as an Access Point.
