Managing Root Service

To provide a wireless LAN service where cable installation is difficult, a W-EP AP can be
configured as a repeater mode to relay wireless LAN traffics. To configure this kind of
network, the Repeater AP and Root AP are required. The Repeater AP is working as a
wireless terminal and the Root AP connects a Repeater AP to a wireless terminal for
connection to the APC.
The root AP must be enabled with the repeater service to allow repeater AP connections.

repeater AP to connect to the root AP.
