Operating Modes
The P-520r Access Point can work in different operating modes:
 Access Point (AP) mode:
In AP mode the P-520r can connect multiple wireless client stations to a wired network. The Local
Area Network and the Wireless Network are from the same IP address space.
 Access Point with WDS (Wireless Bridge and Wireless Repeater) mode:
A WDS (Wireless Distribution System) allows you to create a wireless network infrastructure.
Normally, the access points must be connected with a wire (LAN), which is generally an Ethernet
connection in business applications. Once connected, these access points create wireless cells
allowing a wireless connection. The WDS feature allows the access points to be wirelessly connected
to another access point, eliminating the need to the wired connection between them. Two WDS
configurations are described in the following pictures: wireless bridge and wireless repeater.
