Chapter 4 Building a Wireless Network 22
The ENH710EXT has the ability to operate in various modes. This chapter describes the operating modes of the ENH710EXT. Access Point Mode In Access Point Mode, ENH710EXT 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 ENH710EXT. The ENH710EXT supports up to eight (8) SSIDs per band at the same time for secure access.
Client Bridge Mode The ENH710EXT essentially acts as a wireless adapter that connects to an access point to allow a system of wireless access to the network in the Client Bridge mode. Since the computers are on the same subnet, the ENH710EXT can broadcast to reach all end-devices. If you use the client bridge mode in the ENH710EXT, you can use the AP Detection feature to scan for Access Points within range.
WDS AP Mode The ENH710EXT also supports WDS AP mode. This operating mode allows wireless connections to the ENH710EXT 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 up to four (4) AP MAC addresses.
WDS Bridge Mode In WDS Bridge Mode, the ENH710EXT can wirelessly connect different LANs by configuring the MAC address and security settings of each ENH710EXT 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 ENH710EXT to wirelessly connect two wired LANs, as shown in the following diagram. WDS Bridge Mode can establish up to four WDS links, creating a star-like network.
WDS Station Mode Station mode expands the WDS by receiving a wireless signal/service and sharing it through the Ethernet port.
