Parameter 

Description 

Bridging Client 

Specifies a special mode for use where there are multiple Ethernet 
devices that need to connect to any 3

rd

-party 802.11 a, b, g, or n 

Access Points (AP). This mode uses a Layer 2 Network Address 
Translation mechanism, and can only work for IP-based protocols. If 
using non-IP-based protocols, then specify Client mode for this radio. 
See 

Configuring a Bridging Client Radio

 (page 44). 

Client 

This is a special mode that allows you to transparently connect a single 
Ethernet device to any non-ProSoft 802.11 a, b, g, or n Access Point 
(AP). To the AP, the MAC address of the Ethernet device would appear 
to be an 802.11 wireless client. Client mode supports all network 
protocols. See 

Configuring a Client Radio

 (page 48). 

Auto / Specify 
(Client mode only) 

Choose 

S

PECIFY

 only if the device does not send out any unsolicited 

Ethernet packets. Try 

A

UTO

 first. 

Client MAC 

Specify the MAC ID of the device connected to this radio, only if the 
device does not advertise its MAC address.
