Operation Mode
The SW550XC Serial Device Server Series has been designed as a Wireless Client
with the ability to choose a
connection between Wireless Local Area Network
(
WLAN
)
and Local Area Network
(
LAN
).
It can also operate as
an AP
(
access point
)
client, which will bridge a connection from WLAN to LAN or vice versa
.
This Operation Mode
page is the welcome screen for the SW550XC Series
.
There are two operation modes to choose from
:
1)
Wireless Client
2)
AP Client
.
In Wireless Client mode, SW550XC will have two independent network interfaces
:
LAN and WLAN
.
Each interface
would have its own IP address; hence, traffic from the LAN interface won’t be transferred to the WLAN interface,
and vice versa
.
In the AP Client mode, the LAN and the WLAN interfaces are
bridged together to create one single bridged
interface
using one IP address
.
Traffic from either side of the network will be passed onto the other side of the network
.
The figure below shows the configuration page for Operation Mode of SW550XC
.
The user can select one of the
two radio buttons inside the Operation Mode box
.
An image on the right side of the box displays the SW550XC as
the blue circle while a remote access point
(
AP
)
that provides wireless access is the orange circle
.
