12.9  System Operation Mode Overview
The Sys OP Mode (System Operation Mode) function lets you configure your 
WAP3205 as an access point, wireless client or both at the same time. You can 
choose between Access Point Mode, Client Mode and Universal Repeater 
Mode 
depending on your network topology and the features you require from 
your device. 
The following describes the device modes available in your WAP3205.
Access Point
An access point enabled all ethernet ports to be bridged together and be in the 
same subnet. To connect to the Internet, another device, such as a router, is 
required.

Client
WAP3205 in client mode connects to an existing access point wirelessly. It acts 
just like a wireless client in notebooks/computers.
