3.2 Configuring the Access Point
The HWBA54G supports 3 modes of use: Client Bridge, Access Point, and
Bridge modes. “Client Bridge Mode” is used to allow a network device
with only a wired Ethernet function to have wireless LAN communications
Bridge modes. “Client Bridge Mode” is used to allow a network device
with only a wired Ethernet function to have wireless LAN communications
capability. It provides both Ad Hoc and Infrastructure modes for the
“Station Mode”. “Station-Ad Hoc Mode”, allows the network device to
join a wireless LAN with peer-to-peer communication. With
“Station Mode”. “Station-Ad Hoc Mode”, allows the network device to
join a wireless LAN with peer-to-peer communication. With
“Station-Infrastructure Mode”, it can let the network device join a
wireless LAN through an access point. “AP Mode” provides pure access
point function. This is the simplest way to create a wireless LAN network.
wireless LAN through an access point. “AP Mode” provides pure access
point function. This is the simplest way to create a wireless LAN network.
“AP Bridge Mode” provides the ability to bridge more than 2 wired
Ethernet networks together by wireless LAN. You can use two access points
with “P2P Mode” to bridge two wired Ethernet networks together. If you
Ethernet networks together by wireless LAN. You can use two access points
with “P2P Mode” to bridge two wired Ethernet networks together. If you
want to bridge more than two wired Ethernet networks together, you have to
use enough access points with “PMP Mode”. An access point with “P2P
Mode” or “PMP Mode” can only be used to bridge wired Ethernet networks
