AP Mode 
Both Bridge mode and AP mode can be used simultaneously, unless 
AP mode is "Client/Repeater". Select the desired AP mode:  
•  None (disable) - Disable AP mode. Use this if you want to act a 
Bridge only.  
•  Access Point - operate as a normal Access Point  
•  Client/Repeater - act as a client or repeater for another Access 
Point. If selected, you must provide the address (MAC address) of 
the other AP in the Repeater AP MAC Address field. In this 
mode, all traffic is sent to the specified AP.  
Note: If using Client/Repeater mode, you cannot use Bridge Mode.  
REPEATER AP 
MAC ADDRESS 
This is not required unless the AP Mode is "Client/Repeater". In this 
mode, you must provide the MAC address of the other AP in this field. 
You can either enter the MAC address directly, or, if the other AP is 
on-line and broadcasting its SSID, you can click the "Select AP" 
button and select from a list of available APs. 
Broadcast SSID 
If Disabled, no SSID is broadcast.  
If enabled, you must select the security profile whose SSID is to be 
broadcast. This can be done the "Security Profiles" screen. The SSID 
will then be broadcast to all Wireless Stations. Stations which have no 
SSID (or a "null" value) can then adopt the correct SSID for 
connections to this Access Point. 
Bridge Mode 
Both Bridge mode and AP mode can be used simultaneously, unless 
AP mode is "Client/Repeater". Select the desired Bridge mode:  
•  None (disable) - Disable Bridge mode. Use this if you want to act 
a AP only.  
•  Point-to-Point Bridge (PTP) - Bridge to a single AP. You must 
provide the MAC address of the other AP in the PTP Bridge AP 
MAC Address field
.  
•  Point-to-Multi-Point Bridge (PTMP) - Select this only if this AP 
is the "Master" for a group of Bridge-mode APs. The other 
Bridge-mode APs must be set to Point-to-Point Bridge mode, 
using this AP's MAC address. They then send all traffic to this 
"Master".  
If required, you can specify the MAC addresses of the APs which are 
allowed to connect to this AP in PTMP mode. To specify the allowed 
APs:  
1.  Enable the checkbox "In PTMP mode, only allow specified APs".  
2.  Click the button "Set PTMP APs".  
3.  On the resulting sub-screen, enter the MAC addresses of the 
allowed APs.  
PTP Bridge AP 
MAC Address 
This is not required unless the Bridge Mode is "Point-to-Point Bridge 
(PTP)". In this case, you must enter the MAC address of the other AP 
in this field.
