IE-WL-AP-BR-CL-ABG Web Console Configuration
3-8
NOTE Although it is more convenient to use dynamic bridging, there is a limitation—the AP Client can only transmit
IP-based packets between its wireless interface (WLAN) and Ethernet interface (LAN); other types of traffic
(such as IPX and AppleTalk) are not forwarded.
Operation Mode
The IE-WL-AP-BR-CL-ABG supports four main operation modes—Client, AP, Master, and Slave—each of which
plays a distinct role on the wireless network.

Basic Wireless Settings
The “WLAN Basic Setting Selection” panel is used to add and edit SSIDs. An SSID is a unique identifier that
wireless networking devices use to establish and maintain wireless connectivity. Multiple access points on a
network or sub-network can use the same SSIDs. You can configure your IE-WL-AP-BR-CL-ABG to use up to 9
SSIDs, and configure each SSID differently. All of the SSIDs are active at the same time; that is, client devices
can use any of the SSIDs to associate with the access point.
Click on Add SSID to create more SSIDs.
