Building a Wireless Network
The XR-3 has the ability to operate in various modes. This chapter describes the operating modes of the XR-3.
3.1
Access Point Mode
In Access Point Mode, XR-3 behaves likes a central connection for stations or clients that support IEEE 802.11a/b/g/n
networks. The stations and clients must be configured to use the same SSID (Service Set Identifier) and security password
to associate with the XR-3. The XR-3 supports up to eight SSIDs at the same time for secure access.
3.2
WDS AP Mode
The XR-3 also supports WDS AP mode. This operating mode allows wireless connections to the XR-3 using WDS
technology. In this mode, configure the MAC addresses in both Access Points to enlarge the wireless area by enabling
WDS Link settings. WDS supports four AP MAC addresses.
3.3
WDS Bridge Mode
In WDS Bridge Mode, the XR-3 can wirelessly connect different LANs by configuring the MAC address and security
settings of each XR-3 device. Use this mode when two wired LANs located a small distance apart want to communicate
with each other. The best solution is to use the XR-3 to wirelessly connect two wired LANs, as shown in the following
figure.
WDS Bridge Mode can establish four WDS links, creating a star-like network.
