Before starting to configure this Access Point, you may realize the used scenario under varied operating modes.The AP has the ability to operate in various modes. This chapter describes purpose of different operating modes and lists down the operating modes for outdoor Access Points or Client Premise Equipments (CPE). Access Point Mode In Access Point Mode, AP behaves likes a central connection for stations or clients that support IEEE 802.11ac/a/b/g/n networks.
Client Bridge Mode The Access Point essentially acts as a wireless adapter that connects to an access point to allow a system of wireless access to the network in the Client Bridge mode. Since the computers are on the same subnet, the Access Point can broadcast to reach all end-devices. If you use the client bridge mode in this Access Point, you can use the AP Detection feature to scan for Access Points within range.
The AP can be used as a centralized Outdoor Access Point with which other EnGenius Wireless 802.11b/g/n 2.4 or ac/a/n 5 GHz 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 AP Access Point Client Client 2.4 GHz 2.
WDS AP Mode The AP also supports WDS AP mode. This operating mode allows wireless stations to connect with Access Point via using WDS technology. In this mode, configure the MAC addresses or SSIDs in both Access Points to enlarge the wireless area by enabling WDS Link settings. WDS AP mode supports up to four (4) AP MAC addresses and four (4) SSIDs at the same time. AP WDS AP AP WDS AP 5 GHz 5 GHz Client Computer Client Computer 2.4 GHz Client 2.
WDS Bridge Mode In WDS Bridge Mode, the Accesss Point can wirelessly connect different LANs by configuring the MAC address and security settings of each Access Points. Use this operating mode when two wired LANs located a small distance apart want to communicate with each other. The best solution is to use the Access Point to wirelessly connect two wired LANs, as shown in the following diagram. WDS Bridge Mode can establish up to four (4) to eight (8) WDS links, creating a star-like network.
WDS Station Mode WDS station (WDS STA) mode expands the WDS by receiving a wireless signal/service and sharing it through the Ethernet port. With WDS STA mode, Access Point WDS AP on both 5 GHz or 2.
