AirLive AirMax DUO Lite User’s Manual

4.8.5 Client Infrastructure Mode

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

Lite 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 Lite to get network access.
This mode is often used by WISP on the subscriber’s side.

For AirMax DUO Lite, 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 Lite always sends the AirMax DUO Lite’s wireless
MAC address to the remote AP. If you want the AirMax DUO Lite 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.
