WH-5000A Serials User Guide 1.2 Wireless Access Point Mode (WAP) In the wireless access point mode, you can use the AirLive WH-5000A to connect wireless communication devices together to create a wireless network. The AirLive WH-5000A is usually connected to a wired network and can relay data between devices on each side. In Wireless Access Point (WAP) mode the WAN interface has to con- nect to a backbone Ethernet switch in order to operate normally.
WH-5000A Serials User Guide 1.4 Wireless Client Mode (STA) The AirLive WH-5000A can operate as a client device that communicates with a wireless access point. It supports 802.11a/b/g bands. In Wireless Client mode, the WAN interface is NOT design for a backbone network connection. It is the interface for computer connected to it. The following diagram an example of WDS mode network topology.
