Ip-Based Communication - Siemens SCALANCE W788-1PRO Operating Instructions Manual

Communication at the MAC address level (ISO/OSI layer 2) is then only possible
with a component downstream from the client if its MAC address was adopted by
the client.
Maximum possible number of MAC nodes downstream from the
Layer 2 Tunneling (only W746/W747 and W788 in client mode)
With layer 2 tunneling, the client provides information about the devices
downstream from it when it registers with an access point. This makes it possible to
enter the MAC addresses of these devices in the learning table of the access point.
The access point can forward MAC-based frames for the devices downstream from
the client to the appro
In much the same way as with WDS, a separate port is created for th
over which the Ethernet frames are sent without changing the destination MAC
address.
Maximum possible num

IP-based Communication

IP Mapping (only W746/747 and W788 in client mode)
If there is more than one device connected downstream from the client and these
sh uld only be addressed with IP frames, you can implement WLAN access for o
sev eral devices with one client.

Maximum possible number of IP nodes downstream from the client: 8
