ZyXEL Communications WAP3205 User Manual

WAP3205 User’s Guide

This chapter introduces the different modes available on your WAP3205. First, the 
term “mode” refers to two things in this User’s Guide.

• Web Configurator mode. This refers to the Web Configurator interface you 

want to use for editing WAP3205 features. 

• Device mode. This is the operating mode of your WAP3205, or simply how the 

WAP3205 is being used in the network. 

This refers to the configuration interface of the Web Configurator, which has two 
modes:

• Easy. The Web Configurator shows this mode by default. Refer to 

 for more information on the screens in this mode. This interface may be 

sufficient for users who just want to use the device.

• Expert. Advanced users can change to this mode to customize all the functions 

of the WAP3205. Click Expert Mode after logging into the Web Configurator. 

The User’s Guide 

 through 

discusses the screens in this mode.

This refers to the operating mode of the WAP3205, which can act as a:

• Access Point. Use this mode if you want to extend your network by allowing 

network devices to connect to the WAP3205 wirelessly. Go to 

 view the Status screen in this mode.

• Client. Use this mode if there is an existing wireless router or access point in 

the network to which you want to connect your local network. Go to 

 to view the Status screen in this mode.
