Advanced Configuration Interfaces AP-4000/4000M/4900M User Guide Transparent Mode Transparent mode is the default mode and is equivalent to the NO VLAN support. The VLAN receievs both the tagged and untagged frames from the network. Transparent mode simply forwards both the tagged and untagged frames received on the Ethernet port to WDS, Mesh or BSS and is not able to read any VLAN information.
Advanced Configuration Interfaces AP-4000/4000M/4900M User Guide Trunk Mode Trunk mode works as a filter. Trunk links provide VLAN identification for frames travelling between switches. Once this mode is enabled, the frames received from the WDS, Mesh or wireless ports are filtered and compared with the trunk tables entries. The device percolates the incoming frames comparing with the trunk table data and forwards to the respective ports. The trunk table is configurable on the Access Point.

Troubleshooting Symptoms and Solutions AP-4000/4000M/4900M User Guide Symptoms and Solutions Connectivity Issues Connectivity issues include any problem that prevents you from powering up or connecting to the AP. AP Unit Will Not Boot - No LED Activity 1. Make sure your power source is operating. 2. Make sure all cables are connected to the AP correctly. 3. If you are using PoE, make sure you are using a Category 5, foiled, twisted pair cable to power the AP. Serial Link Does Not Work 1.
Troubleshooting Symptoms and Solutions AP-4000/4000M/4900M User Guide 2. The AP only contacts a DHCP server during boot-up. If your network’s DHCP server is not available while the AP is booting, the device will use the default IP address (169.254.128.132). Reboot the AP once your DHCP server is on-line again or use the ScanTool to find the Access Point’s current IP address. 3.
Troubleshooting Symptoms and Solutions AP-4000/4000M/4900M User Guide 5. If you have a problem uploading a file, verify that the TFTP server is configured to allow uploads (typically the default setting is to allow only downloads). Client Connection Problems Client Software Finds No Connection Make sure you have configured your client software with the proper Network Name and Security settings. Network Names and WEP Keys are typically allocated and maintained by your network administrator.
