You can set the WAP-4000 operation mode and relative settings. After configuration, please click
Apply to save your settings.
AP Mode: WAP-4000 has four operation modes. By default, it is set to AP mode.
Access Point: This mode is set to WAP-4000 by default. This connects your wireless PCs to a
wired network. In most cases, no change is necessary. Up to 63 wireless clients can be
connected through WAP-4000.
Access Point Client: A WAP-4000 set to AP Client mode is able to connect to another
WAP-4000 functioning in AP mode and wireless client within its range. This mode allows your
WAP-4000 client to be the wirelessly bridged to the main WAP-4000. When you select this
mode, please enter the LAN MAC address of the main WAP-4000 into "Remote AP BSS ID"
field.
Wireless Bridge: This mode connects two physically separated LAN segments by using two
WAP-4000s. The remote WAP-4000 also needs to be set up as a Wireless Bridge. The
"Remote Bridge MAC" field must be filled with the LAN MAC address of the remote
WAP-4000.
Multiple Bridge: This mode allows you to construct a network that has multiple WAP-4000s
bridging multiple LANs wirelessly. For all bridged WAP-4000s, configure them in Multiple
Bridge mode and all the WAP-4000s must be configured on the same channel. You can have
up to 14 WAP-4000 to be bridged together. For performance reason, it is suggested to bridge
no more than 6 WAP-4000s in a WLAN.
Beacon Interval: Specify the Beacon Interval value. Enter a value between 20 and 1000. Beacons
are packets sent by an Access Point to synchronize a wireless network.
