Operation Mode
Operation Mode: The AP can be used as an Access Point or as a Wireless Bridge or a
repeater. Wireless Bridge or repeater is used when it is not advisable to lay an Ethernet line
over a distance. Two AP can be set up to connect over this distance, acting as the wired
backbone.
SSID: Service Set Identifier. It is a sequence of characters that uniquely names a Wireless
LAN. This name allows PCs to connect to the correct Wireless Access Point when multiple
Access Points operate in the same location. The default SSID is 11g.
Wireless Mode: The AP or Bridge operates in the frequency of 2.4GHz for 802.11b/g/turbo g.
Radio Frequency: There are different frequency channels depending on the country of use.
You can choose to set the frequency channel to use or use SmartSelect for automatic channel
selection.
WDS: Enable or disable or disable with multiple PC support. When WDS enabled, all PC
connected to bridge/AP can communicate with each other. When WDS disabled, only PC
connected to the bridge/AP can communicate with each other. When disabled with multiple PC
support, all PC connected to bridge/AP can communicate with each other, even if the AP
cannot support WDS.
Advance Settings: This is to set the distance for bridging. The default distance is 4-6km.
Remote AP MAC List: The Bridge will only associate with AP whose MAC address is in the
list. It is essential to type in the MAC address of the AP without any spacing in front or behind
it.
Antenna Adjust: This is to facilitate the adjustment of antenna for long distance bridging.
