    SSID and Security Password to associate while within range. The most suitable topology for this mode is to have one ALL0558N as an AP and the second one as a Client-Bridge – when necessary a third Client-Bridge can be place within the directional antenna’s path. One advantage of using the ALL0558N to create point-to-point outdoor wireless links is when the environment is prone to radio interference on 2.4GHz band.

  • Page 14: Access Point With Wds Function Mode

    Please note that this mode is rarely used due to the nature of directional antennae. Consequently, the wireless clients need to be located in the path of the ALL0558N’s directional antenna and be within in the range to send signal back to the ALL0558N.

    ALL0558N User’s Manual 3.3 Client Bridge Mode In the Client Bridge Mode, the ALL0558N functions like a wireless client, connecting to an Access Point wirelessly and enabling Internet connectivity wherever you want. Use Site Survey function to scan all of the Access Points within range and configure the SSID and Security Password to associate with it.

  • Page 16: Wds Bridge Mode

    ALL0558N User’s Manual 3.4 WDS Bridge Mode In the WDS Bridge Mode, the ALL0558N can wirelessly connect different local area networks by configuring each device’s MAC address and security settings. The WDS Bridge Mode can bridge up to four local wired networks together as one logical network. Every computer on this logical network can see each other, sharing files as if they are in the same location.

  • Page 17: Client Router Mode

    ALL0558N User’s Manual 3.5 Client Router Mode In Client Router Mode, the ALL0558N provides two functions: 1) acting as a wireless-Ethernet Bridge in order to relay signal from the access point; 2) acting as an active DHCP server that allows WLAN clients to share the same wireless network connection. Ideally, have clients wirelessly connect to an AP/WISP and connect to LANs via Ethernet.
