Point-To-Point Configuration; Point-To-Multipoint Configuration - SMC Networks ElliteConnect 2.4GHz/5GHz Owner's Manual

Network Configuration
Note: The external antennas offer longer range options using the 5 GHz
radio, which makes this interface more suitable for bridge links.
When using WDS on a radio band, only wireless bridge units can
associate to each other. Wireless clients can only associate with
the wireless bridge using a radio band set to access point mode.

Point-to-Point Configuration

Two SMC2888W-S bridges can form a wireless point-to-point link
using their 5 GHz (802.11a) integrated antennas.

Point-to-Multipoint Configuration

A SMC2888W-M wireless bridge can use an omnidirectional or
sector antenna to connect to as many as 16 bridges in a
point-to-multipoint configuration. There can only be one
SMC2888W-M "Master" unit in the wireless bridge network, all
other bridges must be SMC2888W-S "Slave" units.
