Mode Configuration
The Mode Configuration parameters for the unit can be left at their default settings
(Auto). However, manually selecting the manner in which the unit operates allows
you to select Access Point mode and configure a greater range of parameters.
When operating in Wireless Client mode, you should set a Service Set Identification
(SSID) to identify the wireless network service to which you want to connect. Only
clients with the same SSID can associate with a wireless network.
