1.2.3 Mesh Roaming Client
Enable the Mesh Roaming Client feature (using the access point's CLI) to allow a client bridge to
associate in the same manner as a regular mesh client bridge. After an initial (single) association, the
client bridge will not attempt additional associations. Since STP will be disabled, the association
forwards data as soon as the association attempt is successful. When Mesh Roaming Client is
enabled, base bridge mode is not supported to avoid a loop within the mesh topology. Thus, the Mesh
Roaming Client is always an end point (by design) within the mesh wireless topology. The base bridge
will need STP disabled to immediately begin forwarding data when a roaming client bridge
associates.
1.2.4 Dual Mode Radio Options
When the access point is manufactured as a dual-radio access point, as is the case with the
AP-7131N-FGR, the access point enables you to configure one radio for 802.11a/n support, and the
other for 802.11b/g/n support.
The two models available to the AP-7131N-FGR series include:
• AP-7131N-66040-FGR (802.11an and 802.11bgn capable)
• AP-7131N-44040-FGR (802.11a and 802.11bg capable)

1.2.5 Separate LAN and WAN Ports
The access point has one LAN (GE1/POE) port and one WAN (GE2) port, each with their own MAC
address. The access point must manage all data traffic over the LAN connection carefully as either a
DHCP client, BOOTP client, DHCP server or using a static IP address. The access point can only use a
Power-over-Ethernet device when connected to the LAN port.
For detailed information on configuring the LAN port, see
A Wide Area Network (WAN) is a widely dispersed telecommunications network. In a corporate
environment, the WAN port might connect to a larger corporate network. For a small business, the
WAN port might connect to a DSL or cable modem to access the Internet. Regardless, network
address information must be configured for the access point's intended mode of operation.
