Access Point Only Mode - Overview
Access Point only mode provides basic access point functionality in a closed network
environment. Typically, this mode is configured when an external LAN is not available. This
mode is the default mode that is configured if the SoftGate host PC is not connected to an
external network through a wired LAN adapter.
From a network topology, AP only mode appears as:
SoftGate Client
SoftGate Client
SoftGate Client
SoftGate Host
Ethernet
Workstation Workstation
Server Server
No LAN Connectivity
Available
Static or Auto Assign IP
Address for Host and
Client Machines
Internet

NOTE: In AP only mode there is no connectivity to an external LAN; therefore, there are no DHCP services available to
clients that are configured to obtain IP addresses from the network. Both clients and SoftGate host must have a valid IP
address or communication between clients or clients to host will not occur. An IP address must be assigned to the host and
client either by automatic IP address assigning (XP only) or by assigning a static private IP address to each client.
