Using the Configuration Menu (continued)
Advanced > Mode
The DWL- can be configured to perform in any of four modes: a Wireless Access
Point; a Wireless Client; a Wireless Bridge; or a Multi-Point Bridge.
Access Point mode
is the default setting.
This mode is used to create a wireless LAN.
Wireless Client mode
will transform any IEEE 802.3 Ethernet device (e.g., a
computer, printer, etc.) into an 802.11b wireless client, if you are connecting to
another DWL- when it is acting as an Access Point.
Wireless Bridge mode
will allow you to connect two LANs together. The wire-
less bridge will only work with another DWL-.
Multi-Point Bridge mode
will allow you to connect multiple wireless LANs
together. Other wireless LANs must be using DWL-s.
