3 Operating Mode Overview
This section provides an overview of T600 operating modes.
NOTE: The AirTrack T610 Wireless Broadband Router in the following pictures is router product of Netac.
You can choose the product of the same kind from the other companies to build net.
3.1 AP Router Mode
The default operating mode is AP Router Mode. When the system is restored to the default factory settings,
the operating mode also reverts to AP Router Mode. In AP Router Mode, T600 works as a standard AP,
where wireless clients connected to the AP can then connect to other wireless clients or to the wired network.
For example, when traveling to a hotel that has high-speed Internet access, or at home, the user can connect
to the Internet through the AP, which is connected to an Ethernet cable in the room (Figure 3.1).
Family's AP Router Mode
Traveler's AP Router Mode
Figure 3.1 AP Router Mode
T600 AP can act as a DHCP server, support IP address conversion.
Section 5.1 "AP Router Mode Setup Page" describes the configuration details for this mode.

3.2 Repeater Mode
Repeater Mode extends the range of a wireless network. Repeater nodes retransmit the signal of an AP or
wireless router to extend the range of the AP/wireless router. Wireless clients can associate with the repeater.
Up to two repeaters can be connected to a T600 in AP Router Mode. Each repeater can be connected to
another repeater using a Parent/Child MAC address scheme.
To configure T600 as a Repeater, ensure the following:
1. Enter the MAC address of the Parent AP/wireless router in the Parent MAC Address field of T600
Repeater (on the Repeater Mode setup page; Figure 5.7)
2. Please refer to the Parent AP/wireless router's user manual for the repeater configuration of Parent
AP/wireless router.
3. To connect additional repeaters, enter the MAC address of the additional Repeater in the Child MAC
Address field of T600 Repeater (on the Repeater Mode setup page; Figure 5.7). This Child repeater can
become the Parent for the next repeater to be linked in turn.
Section 5.2 "Repeater Mode Setup Page" describes the configuration details for this mode.
Figure 3.2 shows the network with T600 Repeaters connected to an AP, with each Repeater allowing wireless
clients to associate.
Figure 3.2 Repeater Mode
Figure 3.3 shows the network with T600 Repeaters as Parents and Children for other Repeaters.

Access Point: Child = Repeater-2
Repeater-2: Parent = Access Point; Child = Repeater-3
Repeater-3: Parent = Repeater-2; No Child
Figure 3.3 Repeater Mode (Parent/Child MAC Addresses)
3.3 Point-to-Point (P2P) Mode
Two T600 devices, each in Point-to-Point (P2P) Mode, establish a wireless connection between two wired
networks, as shown in Figure 3.4. The two T600 devices operating in P2P Mode do not allow client
connecting to it directly.
Figure 3.4 P2P Mode (Wireless Bridge)
To configure T600 devices to establish a P2P wireless bridge, ensure the following:
1. Enter the MAC address of T600 P2P-2 device in the P2P MAC address field in T600 P2P-1 device (on
the P2P Mode Setup page, Figure 5.8).
2. Enter the MAC address of T600 P2P-1 device in the P2P MAC address field in T600 P2P-2 device (on
the P2P Mode Setup page, Figure 5.8).
Section 5.3 "P2P Mode Setup Page" describes the configuration details for this mode.

3.4 Point-to-Multipoint (PMP) Mode
A T600 device operating in Point-to-Multipoint (PMP) Mode wirelessly connects two or more wired networks,
as shown in Figure 3.5. The root T600 device (LAN 1) operates in PMP Mode, and the other T600 devices
(LAN 2, LAN3) must operate in P2P Mode.
Figure 3.5 PMP Mode (Wireless Bridge)
When operating in PMP Mode, T600 device does not allow client connecting to it directly.
To configure T600 devices to establish a PMP wireless bridge, ensure the following:
1. Enter the MAC address of T600 P2P-1 device and T600 P2P-2 device in the Remote Bridge MAC
address field in T600 PMP device (on the PMP Mode Setup page, Figure 5.11).
2. Enter the MAC address of T600 PMP device in the Remote Bridge MAC address field in T600 P2P-1
device and T600 P2P-2 device (on the P2P Mode Setup page, Figure 5.8).
Section 5.4 "PMP Mode Setup Page" describes the configuration details for this mode.
3.5 Client Mode
When T600 operate in Client Mode, T600 device associates to an AP within its range in infrastructure mode,
as shown in Figure 3.6, or joins with another Client Mode T600 device in an Ad-Hoc network, as shown in
Figure 3.7. In Client Mode, T600 operates as a normal wireless client.
