Building
a
Wireless
Network
With
its
ability
to
operate
in
Access
Point,
Client
Bridge,
or
Client
Router
Mode,
your
EOA7530
is
the
ideal
device
around
which
you
can
build
your
WLAN.
This
appendix
describes
how
to
build
a
WLAN
around
your
EOA7530.
It
begins
with
a
description
of
the
EOA7530’s
three
operating
modes
and
then
goes
on
to
provide
examples
of
how
these
operating
modes
can
be
used
in
real
‐
world
configurations
and
how
to
configure
the
EOA7530
to
operate
in
these
configurations.
A.1
EOA7530
Operating
Modes
The
following
sections
describe
the
three
EOA7530
operating
modes.
A.1.1
Access
Point
Mode
In
Access
Point
Mode,
the
EOA7530
operates
as
a
central
connection
for
stations
or
clients
that
support
IEEE
802.11b/g
networks.
All
stations
and
clients
within
the
wireless
area
to
be
covered
must
be
configured
to
use
the
same
SSID
and
Security
Password
to
associate
with
each
other.
In
this
operating
mode,
the
EOA7530
supports
four
SSIDs
that
can
be
configured
independently
to
isolate
clients.
