Z-Com XG-580 PLUS, User Manual

AP Name:

 In this field, you may enter any name. This will enable you to manage your AP more 

easily if you have multiple Access Points on the network. Besides, Access Point Name

can be 

used to prevent you from forgetting an IP Address and fail to access the website. Try to type the 
nickname you like to identify the website, then press the button of 

“Apply” 

to reboot. Whenever 

you want to get back to the website again, just type the name you login. 

 
Wireless Mode:

 Select the work mode.   

AP Mode: 

The system can be configured to work as a wireless network access point. Note that 

the AP acts only as a layer 2 bridge and does not act as a DHCP server. In other words, it does 
not supply dynamic IP addresses and instead relies on the network to supply them. 

Station Mode:

 When configuring as a station mode, the device is now acting as a wireless 

client. The product will associate to an AP within its range in infrastructure mode, or join with 
another 5-in-1 device in Client mode in an ad-hoc network. 

AP with repeating

: In this mode, you can extend the range of a wireless network. Wireless 

clients can associate with the repeater to communicate with each client on your network. Note 
that all the Access Points’ IP address must be set in the same network and make sure that Mode, 
SSID, Channel and encryption settings are set the same for all of your AP with repeating(s). 

 
Network Type

: There are 2 network types for the wireless station adapter to operate. If you need 

to access company network or Internet via Access Point, select “

Infrastructure

”. To set up a 

group of wireless stations for files and printer sharing, select “

Ad-Hoc

” (without Access Point). 

For 

Ad-Hoc 

operation, the 

same ESSID 

is required to set for the wireless stations.
