12.9 System Operation Mode Overview

The Sys OP Mode (System Operation Mode) function lets you configure your
WAP3205 as an access point, wireless client or both at the same time. You can
choose between Access Point Mode, Client Mode and Universal Repeater
Mode depending on your network topology and the features you require from
your device.
The following describes the device modes available in your WAP3205.
Access Point
An access point enabled all ethernet ports to be bridged together and be in the
same subnet. To connect to the Internet, another device, such as a router, is
required.
