1-3 System Configurations
The 802.11g WLAN outdoor hotspot can be configured in a variety of network system
configurations such as AP mode, Station mode or AP with repeating mode.
l AP Mode:
The system can be configured to work as a wireless network access point. Note that the
802.11g WLAN outdoor hotspot acts only as a layer 2 bridge and does not act as a DHCP
server. In other words, it does not supply dynamic IP addresses and instead relies on the
network to supply them. The implementation can be shown as below:
l Station mode
When configuring as a station mode, the device is now acting as a wireless client. The
802.11g WLAN outdoor hotspot will associate to an AP within its range in infrastructure mode,
or join with another outdoor bridge device in Client mode in an ad-hoc network
l Install an AP with repeating
In this mode, you can extend the range of a wireless network. Wireless clients can associate
with the repeater to communicate with each client on your network. Note that all the Access
Points’ IP address must be set in the same network and make sure that Channel is set the
same for all of your AP with repeating(s)
