CONFIGURATIONMODES
The Horizon can be configured for multiple
modesofoperationwithoutanychanges tothe
hardware.Thefollowingarebriefdescriptions
of the configuration modes.For detailed
descriptions and suggested applications for
eachmode,pleaserefertoChapter4.
AccessPointModes
When the Horizon is configured as an Access

in client modes or Wi‐Fi devices.Multiple
Access Points can be physically connected to

using the Access Point Peer mode to provide

1. AccessPointBridgeMode
AnESTeemHorizoninAccessPointBridgemodewillbothprovidewirelessaccesstomobileclients(AccessPoint)and
bridge allEthernet data connected to the Ethernet ports.TheAP Bridge mode willpass all networktraffic between

2. AccessPointRouterMode
InthismodetheESTeemHo riz o nwill
function as a router between wired
Ethernetnetworks,connectedtothe
Horizon’s Ethernet port, and the
wirelessclientsinthenetwork.Asin
all standard router configurations,
the w
ireless and wired Ethernet
networkswillneedtobeonseparate
subnets.TheHorizoninAccessPoint
Routermodewill passnetworktraffic
for connected devices but will block
global network broadcasts from the
wired network.This mode of
operation should be used instead of
theAccessPointBridgemodewhena
separa
tion between networks is
requiredortheESTeemisconnected
to larger LAN Networks that will
continuously send global network
broadcasts(Figure3).
