Wireless-G Access Point
AP Mode
LAN MAC Address
The Access Point offers five modes of operation: Access Point, AP (Access Point) Client, Wireless Repeater, and
Wireless Bridge. For the bridging mode and Repeater mode, make sure the channel, SSID, and WEP keys are the
same.
Access Point - The Operational Mode is set to Access Point by default. This connects your wireless PCs to a
wired network. In most cases, no change is necessary.
AP (Access Point) Client - When set to Access Point Client mode, the Access Point Client is able to talk to one
remote access point within its range. This mode allows the Access Point Client to act as a client of a remote
access point. The Access Point Client cannot communicate directly with any wireless clients. A separate network
attached to the Access Point Client can then be wirelessly bridged to the remote access point. Enter the required
LAN MAC address of the remote access point in the Remote AP MAC Address field.
To select an available access point, click the Site Survey button and choose from the access points listed by
clicking on the radio button for the appropriate access point and clicking the close button. If you do not see an
access point listed, click the Refresh button and another survey will be performed.
