• Access Point PTMP (Not available for PowerBeam ac
and Nanobeam ac models due to their narrow-
beamwidth antennas.) If you have a single device to act
as an AP in a Point-to-MultiPoint (PtMP) link, configure
it as Access Point PTMP mode. The device functions as an
AP that connects multiple client devices (client devices
must be in Station PTMP mode).
• Station PTP If you have a client device to connect to
an AP in a Point-to-Point (PtP) link, configure the client
device as Station PTP mode. The client device acts as the
subscriber station while connecting to the AP (the AP
must be in Access Point PTP mode). The AP’s SSID is used,
and all traffic to and from the network devices connected
to the Ethernet interface is forwarded to the AP.
• Station PTMP If you have multiple client devices to
connect to an AP, configure the client devices as Station
PTMP mode. The client devices act as the subscriber
stations while they are connecting to the AP (which
must be in Access Point PTMP mode). The AP’s SSID is
used, and all traffic to and from the network devices
connected to the Ethernet interface is forwarded to the
AP and other wireless stations.
SSID If the device is operating in Access Point PTP or
Access Point PTMP mode, specify the wireless network
name or SSID (Service Set Identifier) used to identify your
WLAN. All the client devices within range will receive
broadcast messages from the AP advertising this SSID.
If the device is operating in Station PTP or Station PTMP
mode, specify the SSID of the AP the device is associated
with. There can be several APs with an identical SSID.
Select (Available in Station PTP or Station PTMP mode
only.) To display the list of available APs, click Select.
The Site Survey tool will search for available wireless
networks in range on all supported channels and allow
you to select one for association. In case the selected
network uses encryption, you’ll need to configure the
Wireless Security settings.
