4.8.5 Client Infrastructure Mode

This mode is also known as “Client” mode. In Client Infrastructure mode, the AirMax DUO

acts as if it is a wireless adapter to connect with a remote Access Point. Users can attach a

computer or a router to the LAN port of AirMax DUO to get network access. This mode is
often used by WISP on the subscriber’s side.

For AirMax DUO, there are 2 types of Client Infrastructure Mode: “Single User” and

“Multiple-User”. When “Single User” is chosen, only one PC that is connected behind the
AirMax can get IP address from remote DHCP server. When “multiple user” is chosen,

more than one PC can get IP address from remote DHCP server. However, in Client

Infrastructure mode, the AirMax DUO always sends the AirMax DUO’s wireless MAC

address to the remote AP. If you want the AirMax DUO to send the PC’s MAC addresses to
remote AP, then you should use the “Bridge Infrastructure” mode. Bridge Infrastructure

provides the “Mac Address Transparency” functionality.
