Page 23: Access Point Mode
The ENH900EXT has the ability to operate in various modes. This chapter describes the operating modes of the ENH900EXT. Access Point Mode In Access Point Mode, ENH900EXT behaves likes a central connection for stations or clients that support IEEE 802.11a/b/g/n networks. The stations and clients must be configured to use the same SSID (Service Set Identifier) and security password to associate with the ENH900EXT. The ENH900EXT supports up to eight SSIDs per band at the same time for secure access. ENH900EXT Access Point Client Client 2.4 GHz... - Page 24 The ENH900EXT can be used as a centralized Outdoor Access Point with which other EnGenius Wireless N 2.4 or 5 GHz Outdoor Client Bridges can associate; leveraging the long-range capability of their internal high-gain directional antennas, resulting in a very cost-effective solution to expand a company network over a multiple building campus.
