Page 21: Access Point Mode
The EAP1200H has the ability to operate in various modes. This chapter describes the operating modes of the EAP1200H. Access Point Mode In Access Point Mode, the EAP1200H behaves like a central connection for stations or clients that support IEEE 802.11ac/a/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 EAP1200H. The EAP1200H supports up to eight (8) SSIDs per band (16 total) at the same time for secure access. 2.4 GHz 5 GHz Client Client EAP1200H AP/AP Client Client Client Client... -

Page 23: Wds Bridge Mode
WDS Bridge Mode In WDS Bridge Mode, the EAP1200H can wirelessly connect different LANs by configuring the MAC address and security settings of each EAP1200H 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 EAP1200H 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... -
