Wireless Network Access Point
• Access Point Client -
A WAP11 set to Access
Point Client mode is
able to talk to one main
WAP11 and wireless
clients within its range.
This mode allows your
WAP11 to act as a client
of a main WAP11. A
LAN attached to your
WAP11 client can then
be wirelessly bridged to
the main WAP11. Enter
the required MAC
address of the main
WAP11.
• Wireless Bridge -
If you are trying to
make a wireless con-
nection between two
wired networks, select
Wireless Bridge. There
are two options: Point to
Point and Point to
MultiPoint.
Note: In Wireless Bridge mode, the WAP11 can ONLY be
accessed by another wireless bridge. In order for your other
wireless devices to access the WAP11, you must reset it to
Access Point mode. The two modes are mutually exclusive.
