EST P/N AA107-Horizon
802.11 Access Point Modes (AP Bridge, AP Router or AP Masquerade)
The ESTeem Horizon can be configured as a high power 802.11 Access Point (AP). The IEEE 802.11n/g/b Access
Point (AP) functionality is available in all three of the Access Point modes (AP Bridge, AP Router or AP Masquerade).
The Access Point mode will provide either a single wireless connection (Figure 6) or overlapping coverage (Figure 7)
to create a “canopy” of wireless coverage for 802.11 devices. The ESTeem Horizon in AP mode can function as both
an Ethernet bridge or router and 802.11 AP simultaneously (Figure 8).
Example Applications
Industrial, long range 802.11 (Wi-Fi) networks
Hybrid networks of Ethernet bridging/routing and mobile client access
Applications Where Access Point (AP) Mode Not Used
Mobile applications
