1.3.2 Access Point + Bridge

In Access Point + Bridge mode, the G-560 supports both AP (A and B can connect to the
wired network through X) and bridge (X can communicate with Y) connection at the same
time.
The G-560 can act as a wireless network bridge and establish wireless links with other APs. In
order to prevent bridge loops when the G-560 is in the bridge mode, you should ensure that
your G-560 is not connected to both wired and wireless segments of the same LAN. Also
make sure that you do not have three or more G-560s (in bridge mode and on different wired
LANs) wirelessly connect to each other.
When the G-560 is in Access Point + Bridge mode, the traffic between G-560s (the WDS) is
not encrypted. The security settings on the G-560 refer to the traffic between the wireless
station and the G-560.
