Some applications already have existing Clients in the environment. The AWK-5232 not only can carry dual RF
clients, but also single RF or existing Clients to the Ethernet LAN. This function is available in Wireless
Redundancy mode’s Redundant AP, or Wireless Bridge mode’s Master page. Descriptions of other
operation modes can be found in the “Basic Wireless Settings” section.
Enabling Non-Redundant (Single RF) AP
Wireless Redundancy mode’s Redundant AP
The AWK-5232 can be configured as a single RF AP by entering "Add SSID"; the status will initially appear as
inactive, but after entering the new SSID and hitting “Save”, the status will change from inactive to active,
showing that the WLAN is ready to operate as an access point in non-redundant AP mode (see figure on next
page).
