Chapter 4 Building a Wireless Network 20
The ENH1750EXT has the ability to operate in various modes. This chapter describes the operating modes of the ENH1750EXT. Access Point Mode In Access Point Mode, ENH1750EXT behaves likes a central connection for stations or clients that support IEEE 802.11 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 ENH1750EXT. The ENH1750EXT supports up to eight SSIDs at the same time for secure access.
The ENH1750EXT can be used as a centralized Outdoor Access Point with which other EnGenius Wireless N 2.4GHz or 5GHz Outdoor Client Bridges can associate; leveraging the long-range capability of their internal high-gain directional antennas, resulting in a very cost-effective solution to expand a company network over a multiple building campus. ENH202 Client Bridge ENH202 Client Bridge ENH1750EXT Access Point Client Client 2.4 GHz 2.
WDS AP Mode The ENH1750EXT also supports WDS AP mode. This operating mode allows wireless connections to the ENH1750EXT using WDS technology. In this mode, configure the MAC addresses in both Access Points to enlarge the wireless area by enabling WDS Link settings. WDS supports up to four AP MAC addresses. ENH1750EXT ENH1750EXT 5 GHz 5 GHz Client Computer Client Computer 2.4 GHz Client 2.
WDS Bridge Mode In WDS Bridge Mode, the ENH1750EXT can wirelessly connect different LANs by configuring the MAC address and security settings of each ENH1750EXT 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 ENH1750EXT to wirelessly connect two wired LANs, as shown in the following diagram. WDS Bridge Mode can establish up to four WDS links, creating a star-like network.
WDS Station Mode Expands the WDS by receiving a wireless signal/service and sharing through the Ethernet port. ENH1750EXT WDS AP on both 5 GHz & 2.
Client Bridge Mode In the Client Bridge mode, the ENH1750EXT functions like a wireless network adaptor. This allows the ENH1750EXT to share the acquired wireless network access (via another device in Access Point mode) with wired devices connected via Ethernet to it (typically via a networked switch).
