Access Point Mode Configuration
4.1

Introduction

To set your ZyAIR as an Access Point (AP), refer to Section 1.5.1.
In access point mode, your ZyAIR functions as an access point. This allows you to set up your wireless
networks without using a dedicated AP device. Up to 16 wireless stations can associate to the ZyAIR.
4.1.1 Additional Setup Requirements
To bridge your wired and wireless network using the ZyAIR, the following requirements must be met:
1. The ZyAIR must be installed on a computer connected to the wired network.
2. Either configure network sharing (refer to the appendix for an example) or bridge the two interfaces
(wireless and wired) on the computer.
3. Set the wireless station's IP address to be in the same subnet as the computer in which the ZyAIR is
installed. Refer to the Setting Up Your Computer's IP Address appendix.
