The SWM 3530 has the ability to operate in various modes. This chapter describes the operating modes of the SWM 3530.
In Access Point Mode, SWM 3530 behaves likes a central connection for stations or clients that support IEEE 802.11ac/a/b/ g/n
networks. The s tations and clients must be configured to use the same SSID (Service Set Identifier) and security password to associate
with the SWM 3530. The SWM 3530 supports up to eight (8) SSIDs per band at the same time for secure access.
14

The SWM 3530 can be used as a centralized Outdoor Access Point with which other Siselectron Wireless N 2.4 or 5 GHz Outdoor Client
Bridges can 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.

using WDS tec hnology. In this mode, configure the MAC addresses in both Access Points to enlarge the

The SWM 3530 also supports WDS AP mode. This operating mode allows wireless connections to the SWM 3530
MAC addresses.

WDS Bridge Mode
In WDS Bridge Mode, the SWM 3530 can wirelessly connect different LANs by configuring the MAC address and security settings of
each SWM 3530 device. Use this mode when two wired LANs located a small distance apart want to communicate with each other. The best
solution is to use the SWM 3530 to wirelessly connect two wired LANs, as shown in the following diagram. WDS Bridge Mode can establish up
to four (4) WDS links, creating a star-like network.
Note: WDS Bridge Mode does not act as an Access Point. Access Points linked by WDS are using the same frequency channel. More Access
Points connected together 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 feature to prevent
this from happening.
