Select the radio button for the wireless access point mode you want to configure.

–

Access Point

: Operate as a standard 802.11g or 802.11b Access Point. In this mode, the

WG602 will communicate with wireless clients only.

–

Wireless Point-to-Point Bridging

: In this mode, the WG602 will communicate with a

single bridge-mode wireless access point. And, if you check the Enable Wireless Client
Association checkbox, wireless clients will also be serviced by this access point. You must
enter the MAC address (physical address) of the other Bridge-mode Wireless Station in
the field provided. WEP can (and should) be used to protect this communication.

–

Wireless Multi-Point Bridging

: In this mode, the WG602 will communicate with up to

four bridge-mode wireless access points. And, if you check the Enable Wireless Client
Association checkbox, wireless clients will also be serviced by this access point. You must
enter the MAC address (physical address) of each other Bridge-mode Wireless Station in
the field provided. Each wireless access point you enter will be listed in the Wireless
Remote Access Point List. When you enter the remote wireless access point MAC
address, the WG602 will attempt to validate that the SSID, channel, and WEP
configuration of the remote access point matches the settings of this WG602. WEP can
(and should) be used to protect this traffic.
