13.3 Client Bridge

In Client Bridge Mode, the OM2P-LC/OM2P-HS behaves like a wireless client that connects to
an Access
Point wirelessly and allows users to surf the Internet whenever they want. In this mode, use
the OM2P-LC/OM2P-HS Site Survey to scan for Access Points within range. Then configure
the OM2P-LC/OM2P-HS SSID and security password accordingly to associate with the Access
Point. In this configuration, the station has a wired Ethernet connection to the OM2P-
LC/OM2P-HS LAN port.
13.4 WDS Bridge

In WDS Bridge Mode, the OM2P-LC/OM2P-HS can wirelessly connect different LANs by
configuring
the MAC
address and security settings of each OM2P-LC/OM2P-HS 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 OM2P-LC/OM2P-HS to wirelessly connect two wired
LANs, as shown in the following figure. WDS Bridge Mode can establish 16 WDS links, creating
a star-like network.
WDS Bridge Mode is unlike Access Point. Access Points linked by WDS are using the same
frequency channel, more Access Points connected together may lower throughput. Please be
aware to avoid loop in your wireless connection, otherwise enable Spanning Tree Function.
