4.0 Configuration
There are four available selections for the unit’s mode of
operation:
Access Point - An Access Point may provide a wireless data
connection to many clients, such as stations, repeaters, or
other supported wireless devices such as laptops etc.

Access Point
Client
Repeater
Mesh Point
This setting determines the rate at which the data is to be wirelessly transferred.
The default is ‘Auto’ and, in this configuration, the unit will transfer data at the highest possible
rate in consideration of the receive signal strength (RSSI).
Setting a specific value of transmission rate has the benefit of ‘predictability’ of that rate, but if
the RSSI drops below the required minimum level to support that rate, communications will fail.

Station/Client - A Station may sustain one wireless connection, i.e. to an Access Point.
Repeater - A Repeater can be connected to an Access Point to extend the range and provide
a wireless data connection to many clients, such as stations.
Mesh Point - Units can be configured as a Mesh “Node”. When multiple units are configured
as a Mesh node, they automatically establish a network between each other. SSID for each
radio in a Mesh network must be the same.
