What is Client
Bridge Mode?
Client Bridge Mode is a secondary mode of the Access Point. When in
Client Bridge Mode the Access point will act as a Wireless client, allowing
one computer to access a wireless network. In this mode it will not longer
act as an access point and will not provide wireless networking for other
clients.
Switching to Client
Bridge Mode
To switch your Access Point to Client Bridge mode you must reset the
Access Point to its factory default settings.
When you reset the Access Point to its factory default settings you will
lose all configuration information. 3Com recommends that backup your
configuration before changing the mode of the Access Point.
To switch the Access Point to Client Bridge mode:
1 Click on the System Tools menu followed by the Configuration tab.
2 Click the RESET... button in the Reset to Factory Default section.
The Access Point will restart.
You may need to use the Discovery Application to reconnect to your
Access Point after it has been reset to factory default settings. See
Appendix A .
