Advanced Infrastructure Mode 

The Advanced Infrastructure mode is a mixture of the Standard Infrastructure and Compatible 
Infrastructure modes. The Advanced Infrastructure mode can be used only when the product is configured 
as an access point. 

 

Figure 5.3.    Advanced Infrastructure Mode 

On the terminal set to the Standard Infrastructure mode, the FLEXLAN series' unique functions can be 
used. 
The terminal set to the Compatible Infrastructure mode serves as a simple bridge and thus the FLEXLAN 
series’ unique functions cannot be used on this terminal.
