STA-AP
To establish a static bridge link based on WDS, the AP/bridges at both end of the WDS link must be
manually configured with each other’s MAC addresses (see Section 3.5.1.5 for more information). To
establish a dynamic bridge link between an AP and an AP Client, both devices have to be configured
with the same SSID and WEP settings. The AP Client automatically scans for any AP that is using the
matched SSID and establishes a bridge link with the scanned AP.

NOTE:
Although it’s more convenient to use dynamic bridging, it has a limitation—the AP Client
only can forward TCP/IP packets between its wireless interface and Ethernet interface; other type of
traffic (such as IPX and AppleTalk) is not forwarded.

TIP:
When the AP is configured to be in AP Client, it can be used as an Ethernet-to-wireless network
adapter. For example, a notebook computer equipped with an Ethernet adapter can be connected to
this device with a crossover Ethernet cable for wireless connectivity to another access point.

3.3.3. Managing Firmware
Fig. 22. Firmware management protocol setting.
Firmware management operations for the AP include firmware upgrade, configuration backup, con-
figuration restore, and configuration reset. Firmware upgrade, configuration backup, and configura-
tion restore can be achieved via HTTP or TFTP. The HTTP-based way is suggested because it’s more
user friendly. However, due to different behavior of different Web browser types and versions,
HTTP-based firmware management operations may not work properly with some Web browsers. If
you cannot successfully perform HTTP-based firmware management operations with your Web
browser, try the TFTP-based way.

You can use Upgrade Wizard of Wireless Network Manager to upgrade firmware. See the
