WiFi Access Point Configuration
Configuration of the access point is done through the definition of one or more VAPS (Virtual access
points).
For each of the interfaces it es needed to specify:
New VAP:
Defines a new WiFi VAP.
SSID
: (Service Set Identifier): Identifier (name) of the WiFi network.
Hidden SSID
: If this option is activated every user needs to manually configure the WiFi network
which will not be detected through an scann process.
Device Mode:
Operation mode of the equipment.
Root AP:
In thi mode the WiFi interface performs as a Master AP activating the WDS (Wireless
distribution System) mode. This mode builds a transparent bridge between the WiFi network and
the Ethernet interfaces in Router mode or a bridge WiFi-Ethernet-Coax/PLC in Bridge mode. This is
the recommended and factory default mode.
AP
: This mode is similar to the Root AP but with the WDS mode deactivated as this protocol might
not be supported by all WiFi enabled devices. In this mode there is no transparent bridge between
WiFi devices and the ethernet ports. WiFi user will only have access to the WAN interface.
WDS Station
: This mode allows the product to work as a WiFi client of other WiFi networks. It
activates the WDS mode to guarantee connectivity to the Ethernet ports.
Station
: This mode is similar to the WDS Station mode but without a bridge between the WiFi
network and the ethernet ports.
Repeater:
In this mode the device acts as both an AP and as a station in a wireless channel,
increasing the network reach. AP mode extends the network coverage for new users, while the
station so acts as a client of existing root AP. This defines a WiFi network with the same security
parameters and pamper ESSID AP root and place the device in the middle point at which you want
to increase the scope of the network.
