（note：fixed antenna and dismountable antenna is either-or ）
RSS:
This device complies with Industry Canada licence-exempt RSS standard(s). Operation is subject to
the following two conditions:
(1) this device may not cause interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference, including
interference that may cause undesired operation of the device.
Fixed antenna
Under Industry Canada regulations, this radio transmitter may only operate using an antenna of a
type and maximum (or lesser) gain approved for the transmitter by Industry Canada. To reduce
potential radio interference to other users, the antenna type and its gain should be so chosen that the
equivalent isotropically radiated power (e.i.r.p.) is not more than that necessary for successful
communication.
This radio transmitter (identify the device by certification number, or model number if Category II) has
been approved by Industry Canada to operate with the antenna types listed below with the maximum
permissible gain and required antenna impedance for each antenna type indicated. Antenna types not
included in this list, having a gain greater than the maximum gain indicated for that type, are strictly
prohibited for use with this device.

Step 8. Navigate to the Configuration | Wireless tab, choose Station WDS wireless mode, click
Scan button near the SSID entry field to choose the SSID of the AP where the station will
be associated to. Specify the Security parameters for the AP, check IEEE mode (these
settings must conform with AP wireless settings) and click Save&Apply:
Step 9. Verify connection. Navigate to the Status | Information page. The Information page will
display wireless information of the link with AP. The connection status must be displayed
as Connected and progress bars indicating the quality of the connection must be displayed:

NetworkOperationModes
The device can operate as transparent Bridge or Router.
BridgeMode
The device can act as a wireless network bridge and establish wireless links with other APs. In this
mode all LAN port and Wireless interface will be a part of the Bridge.
Figure 2 – Bridge Mode
With a Bridge, all connected computers are in the same network subnet. The only data that is allowed
to cross the bridge is data that is being sent to a valid address on the other side of the bridge.
RouterMode
In router mode the device will receive internet through WAN port and will share it to the LAN ports that
will be separated with a different IP range. The type of connection to the WAN interface can be made
by Static IP, DHCP client or PPPoE client.
Figure 3 – Router Mode
When device operates in Router mode, the traffic coming on wired interface and going out on wireless
interface can be masqueraded by enabling NAT. NAT allows a set of station’s clients to invisibly
access the Internet via the wireless station. To other clients on the Internet, all this outgoing traffic will
appear to be from the APC device itself.
