Setup Client Radio

RLX2 radios can be configured in Client mode. Client mode radios only support
one wired network device, but can connect to third-party 802.11 Access Points.
The following table highlights the most significant differences between Repeater
and Client modes on RLX2 radios:
Number of attached
Ethernet devices
supported
Can connect to other
RLX2 Repeaters?
Can connect to non-
ProSoft Access Points
(Masters)?
MAC address seen on
network
Client mode radios are not often necessary in Industrial network applications. If
the need for a Client RLX2 radio in the system is not needed, this example
configuration can be skipped.
The most straightforward way to test a Client mode radio configuration is with a
second PC connected as the downstream network device from a Client radio. We
will assume such a setup in the following example, and will connect to the Master
radio we configured previously.
