Page 11: Considerations For Wireless Installation
Here are some key guidelines for allowing the EAP900H to have an optimal wireless range during setup. • Keep the number of walls and/or ceilings between the EAP900H and other network devices to a minimum. Each wall and/or ceiling can reduce the signal strength, resulting in a lower overall signal strength. -

Page 21: Access Point Mode
The EAP900H has the ability to operate in various modes. This chapter describes the operating modes of the EAP900H. Access Point Mode In Access Point Mode, the EAP900H behaves like a central connection for stations or clients that support IEEE 802.11a/b/g/n networks. The stations and clients must be configured to use the same SSID (Service Set Identifier) and security password to associate with the EAP900H. The EAP900H supports up to eight (8) SSIDs per band (16 total) at the same time for secure access. 2.4 GHz 5 GHz Client Client EAP 900H AP/AP Client Client Client Client... -

WDS supports up to four (4) AP MAC addresses. 5 GHz 5 GHz Client Client... -
Page 23: Wds Bridge Mode
WDS Bridge Mode In WDS Bridge Mode, the EAP900H can wirelessly connect different LANs by configuring the MAC address and security settings of each EAP900H device. Use this mode when two wired LANs located a small distance apart want to communicate with each other. The best solution is to use the EAP900H to wirelessly connect two wired LANs, as shown in the following figure. WDS Bridge Mode can establish up to four (4) WDS links, creating a star-like network. Note: WDS Bridge Mode does not act as an Access Point because Access Points linked by WDS use the same frequency channel. More Access Points connected together may lower throughput. This configuration can also be susceptible... -
