Step 5: Select the Operational Mode for AWK-1100 
By default, AWK-1100’s operation mode is set to AP/Bridge. If you want to change the setting, 
click on General Æ Operational Mode, as shown in the following figure, select an operation 
mode, and then click on Save to activate the change. 
 
Go to the General, Operational Mode section, select an operational mode and then click Save at 
the bottom of this page. This will take you back to the starting page. 
The AP supports 2 operational modes: 
y
  AP/Bridge. 
This mode provides both Access Point and Static LAN-to-LAN Bridging functionality. 
The static LAN-to-LAN bridging function is supported through WDS (Wireless Distribution 
System). 
y
  AP Client. 
This mode is for Dynamic LAN-to-LAN Bridging. The AP Client automatically establishes 
bridge links with APs from any vendors. 
In either mode, the AWK-1100 forwards packets between its Ethernet interface and wireless 
interface for wired hosts on the Ethernet side and wireless host(s) on the wireless side. 
NOTE 
Detailed information about configuring AWK-1100’s Operation Mode is given in Chapter 3.
