GPIO, networking, as well as other peripherals that can vary from product to product. Every product in the TS-7100 series uses the same CPU board and offers the same base features. All of the TS-7100 series products will have a full product number, for example "TS-7100-Z" is the ﬁrst product in this line. This manual and all TS- 7100 series product manuals will both use "TS-7100"...

That is, clients can connect to the AP and will be connected to the ethernet network through this network bridge.

The conﬁguration outlined below will set up a bridge with "eth0", meaning the Wi-Fi connection is directly connected to the ethernet network. The ethernet network is required to have a DHCP server present and active on it to assign Wi-Fi clients an IP address.

2/11/2020 TS-7100 - Technologic Systems Manuals Compiling the kernel requires an armhf toolchain. We recommend development under Debian Stretch which includes an armhf compiler in the repositories. See the Debian Stretch cross compilation section for instructions on installing a proper cross compiler.
