Access Point vs Client
The Access Point unit acts as the “wireless master”
unit. The Access Point sets up the wireless links
to the Client units, and controls the wireless
communications. The first diagram shows two
Ethernet devices being linked. One WI-MOD-E is
configured as an Access Point and one as a Client
- in this example it doesn’t mater which unit is the
Access Point.
The second diagram shows an existing LAN being
extended using WI-MOD-E’s. In this example, the
Access Point should be configured at the LAN end
- although the wireless link will still work if the
Client is at the LAN end.
An Access Point can connect to multiple Clients.
In this case, the Access Point should be the
“central” unit.
An Access Point could be used as a “Repeater” unit to connect two WI-MOD-E Clients which do not
have direct reliable radio paths.
Multiple Access Points can be set-up in a “mesh” network to provide multiple repeaters.
