1.5 Wireless Operation Modes
The WHA-5500CPE-NT can perform as a multi-function wireless device. Through the
AirLogic web interface, users can easily select which wireless mode they wish the
WHA-5500CPE-NT to perform.
The WHA-5500CPE-NT can be configured to operate in the following wireless operation
modes:
1.5.1 Access Point Mode
When operating in the Access Point mode, the WHA-5500CPE-NT becomes the center hub
of the wireless network. All wireless cards and clients connect and communicate through
WHA-5500CPE-NT. This type of network is known as “Infrastructure network”. Other
WHA-5500CPE-NT or 802.11a CPE can connect to AP mode through “Client Infrastructure
Mode” or “Bridge Infrastructure Mode”. The Access Point mode will act as “WDS AP”
when connecting with the “Bridge Infrastructure mode”. Please see Chapter 8 for step-by-step
application example of this operation mode.
