Figure 3.9. Interconnection Mode
Like standard mode, all wireless terminals communicate via unit
type APs in interconnection mode. As the roaming function is
supported, terminals can log in to any unit type AP within range.
As the unit type APs operate as simple bridges, proprietary FX-
DS110-APE functions cannot be used.
APs with the station unit type can log in to APs from other vendors
that support Wi-Fi. In this case, only one terminal can have a
wired connection to the station AP.
- Advantages
(1) Can be used with wireless equipment from other vendors
that has Wi-Fi approval.
- Disadvantages
(1) Proprietary FX-DS110-APE functions such as IP tunneling
cannot be used.
