ZyXEL Communications Corporation WAP5805 Manuel D’Utilisation

WAP5805 User’s Guide

This chapter introduces the different modes available on your WAP5805. First, the term “mode” 
refers to two things in this User’s Guide.

• Web Configurator mode. This refers to the Web Configurator screen you want to use for 

editing WAP5805 features. 

• Device mode. This is the operating mode of your WAP5805, or simply how the WAP5805 is 

being used in the network. 

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

• Expert. Advanced users can change to this mode to customize all the functions of the WAP5805. 

Click Expert Mode after logging into the Web Configurator. The User’s Guide 

 discusses the screens in this mode.

This refers to the operating mode of the WAP5805, which can act as a:

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

devices to connect to the WAP5805 wirelessly. Go to 

 to view the Status 

screen in this mode.

• Client (CL). Use this mode if there is an existing WAP5805 that acts as an AP in your network. 

Go to 

 to view the Status screen in this mode. In Client mode, you should 

know the SSID and wireless security details of the WAP5805 to which you want to connect.

Note: Choose your device mode carefully to avoid having to change it later.
