Introduction
The 108 Mbps Wireless Access Point can be configured with one or two radios, each of which
forms a distinct wireless cell or basic service set (BSS), as shown in Figure 41. Each radio can
operate in either of the following modes:
•
In normal mode, the AP is connected to the wired network, and the radio directly services
downstream client stations or access points, or both. (AP mode).
•
In wireless backhaul mode, the radio establishes a wireless link to a radio in AP mode on
another 108 Mbps Wireless AP in order to relay data through the wireless medium. The AP is
not attached to a wired connection, instead it is connected through the wireless medium to
another AP.

In this mode, the radio is called a Backhaul Point (BP mode). Wireless backhaul
is also known as a wireless distribution system (WDS).

Except in certain special configurations.
