1.3.4  Bridge / Repeater
The G-570S can act as a wireless network bridge and establish wireless links with other APs. 
The G-570Ss in the following example are using bridge mode with a star configuration. A, B, 
C and D are connected to independent wired networks and have bridge connections at the 
same time (B, C and D can communicate with A). 
Figure 5   Bridge Application
A G-570S in bridge mode without an Ethernet connection can function as a repeater. It 
transmits traffic from one AP to another AP without using a wired connection. C in the 
following graphic repeats wireless traffic between A and B.
