    Before starting to configure this Access Point, you may realize the used scenario under varied operating modes.ETD series product is builded in EnGenius EnJet solution, AP can transmit data more efficiently, avoid collisions,and reduce latency and packet losses. It can be configured as an: Access Point, Client Bridge or WDS (AP & Station) when EnJet enable, or Access Point, Client Bridge or WDS (AP, Station & Bridge) when EnJet disable. This chapter describes purpose of different operating modes and lists down the operating modes for outdoor Access Points or Client Premise Equipments (CPE). Access Point Mode In Access Point Mode, AP/CPE behaves likes a central connection for stations or clients that support IEEE 802.11a/b/g/n...
  • Page 28: Client Bridge Mode

    Client Bridge Mode The AP/CPE 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 AP/CPE can broadcast to reach all end-devices.

    WDS Link settings. WDS supports up to four (4) AP MAC addresses. WDS Bridge Mode In WDS Bridge Mode, the AP/CPE can wirelessly connect different LANs by configuring the MAC address and security settings of each AP/CPE 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 AP/CPE to wirelessly connect two wired LANs, as shown in the following diagram.
