figured by a central WLAN-Controller. In this operating mode, no further
WLAN configuration is necessary as all WLAN parameters are provided by
the WLAN-Controller.
In client mode, the device itself locates the connection to another Access
Point and attempts to register with a wireless network. In this case the
device serves, for example, to link a cabled network device to an Access
Point over a wireless connection. In this operating mode, parallel point-
to-point connections are
not
possible.

Client Mode.
Physical WLAN settings
Along with the radio channels, the physical WLAN settings can also be used
to activate options such as the bundeling of WLAN packets (TX Burst), hard-
ware compression, or the use of QoS compliant with 802.11e. You also control
the settings for the diversity behavior here.
Logical WLAN networks
Each WLAN module can support up to eight logical WLAN networks for
mobile WLAN clients to register with. The following parameters have to be set
when configuring a logical WLAN network:
The network name (SSID)
Open or closed radio LAN
Encryption settings
MAC filter
Client-bridge operation
Filter settings
Point- to-point settings
The configuration of P2P connections involves setting not only the operating
mode but also the station name that the Access Point can connect to. Also,
the role as "Master" or "Slave" is set here.
Along with the settings for the Access Point itself, also to be defined is the
remote site that the Access Point can contact via the P2P connection.
