  • Page 17: Introduction To Operating Modes

    3. Operating Modes 3.1 Introduction to Operating Modes 3.1.1 Traveler’s AP Mode The Access Point (AP) mode is by default the out-of-box operational mode. When the user resets the system to the default manufacturing settings, the operational mode also reverts to AP mode. In the AP mode, the system functions as a standard AP, where wireless clients connected to the AP can then connect to other wireless clients or to the wired network.
  • Page 18: Repeater Mode

    3.1.2 Repeater Mode Repeater mode extends the range of a wireless network. Repeater nodes re-transmit the signal of an AP or wireless router to effectively extend the range of that AP or wireless router. Wireless clients can associate with the repeater. Figure2 shows the network with one repeater, and the repeater allowing wireless clients to associate.

    3.1.3 Point-to-Point (P2P) Mode Two SMCWTK-G devices, each in Point-to-Point (P2P) mode, can establish a wireless connection between two wired networks, as shown in Figure3. The two SMCWTK-G devices operating in P2P mode do not allow client associations. To configure the SMCWTK-G deivces to establish a P2P wireless bridge, please ensure the following: •...
  • Page 20: Point-To-Multipoint (Pmp) Mode

    3.1.4 Point-to-Multipoint (PMP) Mode A SMCWTK-G device operating in Point-to-Multipoint (PMP) mode can wirelessly connect two or more wired networks, as shown in Figure4. The root SMCWTK-G device (LAN 1) operates in PMP mode, and the other SMCWTK-G devices (LAN 2, LAN 3) must operate in P2P mode.
  • Page 21: Client Mode

    3.1.5 Client Mode When set to Client mode, the SMCWTK-G device will associate to an AP within its range in Infrastructure mode, as shown in Figure 5or join with another SMCWTK-G device in Client mode in an Ad-Hoc network, as shown in Figure 6.
