Applications
Wireless LAN (WLAN) products are easy to install and highly efficient. The following list describes some of the many applications made possible through the power and
flexibility ofWLANs:
 Difficult-to-Wire Environments: There are many situations where wires cannot be installed, deployed easily, or cannot be hidden from view. Older buildings, sites
with multiple buildings, and/or areas that make the installation of a Ethernet-based LAN impossible, impractical or expensive are sites where WLAN can be a
network solution.
 Temporary Workgroups: Create temporary workgroups/networks in more open areas within a building; auditoriums, amphitheaters classrooms, ballrooms,
arenas, exhibition centers, or temporary offices where one wants either a permanent or temporary Wireless LAN established.
 The Ability to Access Real-Time Information: Doctors/Nurses, Point-of-Sale Employees, and/or Warehouse Workers can access real-time information while
dealing with patients, serving customers, and/or processing information.
 Frequently Changing Environments: Set up networks in environments that change frequently (i.e.: Show Rooms, Exhibits, etc.).
 Small Office and Home Office (SOHO) Networks: SOHO users require a cost-effective, easy, and quick installation of a small network.
 Training/Educational Facilities: Training sites at corporations or students at universities use wireless connectivity to exchange information between peers and
easily access information for learning purposes.

Before starting to configure this Access Point, you may realize the used scen a rounder varied operating modes. The AP has the ability
to operate in various modes. This chapter describes purpose of different operating modes and lists down the operating modes for
outdoor Access Points or Client Premise Equipments(CPE).
Access Point Mode
In Access Point Mode, AP be have slikes a central connection for stations or clients that support IEEE802.11ac/a/b/g/n networks. The
stations and clients must be configured to use the same SSID(Service Set Identifier) and security password to associate with the AP.
The AP supports up to eight SSIDs per band at the same time for secure access.

Client Bridge Mode
The Access Point essentially acts as a wireless adapter that connects to an access point to allow a system of wireless access to the
network in the Client Bridge mode. Since the computers are on the same subnet, the Access Point can broadcast or each all end-
devices.
If you use the client bridge mode in this Access Point, you can use the AP Detection feature to scan for Access Points within range.
When you find an Access Point, configure this Access Point to use the same SSID and Security Password as the Access Point to
associate with it.

The AP can be used as a centralized Outdoor Access Point with which other Wireless 802.11b/g/n2.4 or ac/a/n 5GHz Outdoor Client
Bridge scan associate; leveraging the long-range capability of their internal high-gain directional antennas, resulting in a very cost-
effective solution to expand a company network over a multiple building campus.

WDS APMode
The AP also supports WDS AP mode. This operating mode allows wireless stations to connect with Access Point via using WDS
technology. In this mode, configure the MAC addresses or SSIDs in both Access Points to enlarge the wireless area by enabling WDS
Link settings. WDS AP mode supports up to four(4) AP MAC addresses and four(4) SSIDs at the same time.

WDS Bridge Mode
In WDS Bridge Mode, the Access Point can wirelessly connect different LANs by configuring the MAC address and security settings of
each Access Points. Use this operating mode when two wired LANs located as mall distance apart want to communicate with each
other. The best solution is to use the Access Point to wirelessly connect two wired LANs, as shown in the following diagram.
WDS Bridge Mode can establish up to four (4) to eight (8) WDS links, creating a star-like network.
Note: WDS Bridge Mode does not act as an Access Point. Access Point slinked by WDS are using the same frequency channel. More
Access Points connected to get her may lower throughput. This configuration can be susceptible to generate endless network loops
in your network, so it is recommended to enable the Spanning Tree function to prevent this from happening.
