The ENS Dual Band series has the ability to operate in various modes. This chapter describes the operating modes of the 
ENS Dual Band series.

Access Point Mode

In Access Point Mode, ENS Dual Band series 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 ENS Dual Band series. The ENS Dual Band series supports up to eight SSIDs per band at the 
same time for secure access.
