Appendix B – 6900 Series Access Point /Bridge
Configuration
Configuring the Access Point
This Access Point supports Client, AP, Repeater and Bridge modes. “Client Mode” is used to let a network
device with only wired Ethernet function to have wireless LAN communication capability. It provides both
Ad Hoc and Infrastructure modes for the “Station Mode”. With “Station-Ad Hoc mode”, it can let your
network device join a wireless LAN with peer-to-peer communication. With “Station-Infrastructure mode”, it
can let your network device join a wireless LAN through an access point. “AP Mode” provides pure access
point function. The simplest way to build up a wireless LAN is to use “AP Mode”. If you want a repeater to
bridge with another reapter and provide connection service for other wireless station at the same time, you
have to set the access point to “Repeater mode”. You can use two access points with “P2P mode” to bridge
two wired Ethernet networks together. If you want to bridge more than two wired Ethernet networks together,
you have to use enough access points with “PMP mode”. An access point with “P2P mode” or “PMP mode”
can only be used to bridge wired Ethernet networks together. It can’t accept connection from other wireless
station at the same time.
