12.9 System Operation Mode Overview
The Sys OP Mode (System Operation Mode) function lets you configure your WAP3205 as an
access point, wireless client or both at the same time. You can choose between Access Point
Mode, Client Mode and Universal Repeater Mode depending on your network topology and the
features you require from your device.
The following describes the device modes available in your WAP3205.
Access Point
An access point enabled all ethernet ports to be bridged together and be in the same subnet. To
connect to the Internet, another device, such as a router, is required.
