20 4 Building a Wireless Network The ECB300 has the ability to operate in various operating modes. The ECB300 is the ideal device in which you can build your WLAN. This chapter describes how to build a WLAN around your ECB300 using the operating modes of the ECB300. 4.1 Client Bridge Mode In Client Bridge Mode, the ECB300 acts as a wireless dongle that connects to an Access Point to allow a system wireless access to the network.
21 4.2 Access Point Mode In Access Point Mode, ECB300 behaves likes a central connection for stations or clients that support IEEE 802.11b/g/n networks. The stations and clients must be configured to use the same SSID and security password to associate with the ECB300. The ECB300 supports up to four SSIDs at the same time for secure guest access.
22 4.3 WDS AP Mode The ECB300 also supports WDS AP mode. This operating mode allows wireless connections to the ECB300 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 four AP MAC addresses.
23 4.4 WDS Bridge Mode In WDS Bridge Mode, the ECB300 can wirelessly connect different LANs by configuring the MAC address and security settings of each ECB300 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 ECB300 to wirelessly connect two wired LANs, as shown in the following figure. WDS Bridge Mode can establish four WDS links, creating a star-like network.
24 4.5 Router Mode In Access Point Router Mode, ECB300 grants Internet access to multiple wireless clients. In this mode, the ECB300’s internal Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server automatically allocates ranges of IP addresses to each wireless client that will access the Internet through the ECB300. This mode requires you to connect the ECB300’s Ethernet port to a modem or router.
