Wireless LAN Setup
The IE-WL-BL-AP-CL provides the AP/client mode for point-to-multipoint communication.
AP/client:
The IP-Bridging mechanism is used to overcome limitations of the 802.11 standards. In this case,
the MAC address of the devices connected to the client radio will be replaced with the client’
s MAC address.
Under AP/client modes, communication problems might be encountered when you have a MAC authenticated
system or MAC (Layer 2) based communication. In this case, you will need to change the network to use the
master/slave operation mode.
Sniffer:
In order to provide an easier way for our customers to analyze wireless traffic, the IE-WL-BL-AP-CL
supports a “Sniffer” mode to co
-work with Wireshark packet sniffer software.
NOTE
Although it is more convenient to use dynamic bridging, there is a limitation
—
the Client can only transmit
IP-based packets between its wireless interface (WLAN) and Ethernet interface (LAN); other types of traffic
(such as IPX and AppleTalk) are not forwarded.
Operation Mode
The IE-WL-BL-AP-CL supports three operation modes
—
AP, Client, and Sniffer
—
each of which plays a distinct
role on the wireless network.
