• Disable Wireless - The wireless of this AP can be enabled or disabled
to allow wireless stations access. If disabled, wireless stations will
not be able to access the AP.
AP provides five operational modes: Access Point, Client, Repeater,
Bridge (point to point), and Bridge (point to Multi-point).
• Access Point - Access Point mode allows wireless stations including
AP clients to access.
• SSID - Enter a value of up to 32 characters. The same name (SSID)
must be assigned to all wireless devices in your network. The
default SSID is Kraun, but it is recommended strongly that you
change your networks name (SSID) to a different value. This value
is case-sensitive. For example, Kraun is NOT the same as Kraun.
• Enable SSID Broadcast - If you select the Enable SSID Broadcast
checkbox, the Wireless Access Point SSID will broadcast its name
(SSID) on the air.
• Client - This mode allows one or more remote LANs connect with a
central LAN, and thus creating an extended virtual LAN. In this way,
any station of the Remote LAN can successfully communicate with
any station of the central LAN, as if all of them belong to the same
physical LAN. Wireless Stations can’t associate with AP Clients.
• SSID - Enter the SSID of AP that you want to access. If you select
the radio before SSID, the AP client will connect to AP according to
SSID.
• MAC of AP - Enter the MAC address of AP that you want to access.
If you select the radio before MAC of AP, the AP client will connect
to AP according to MAC address.
• Repeater - A wireless repeater is an AP with its own BSS that relays
data to a root AP, to which it is associated. The wireless repeater re-
lays signal between its stations and the root AP for greater wireless
range. Please input the MAC address of root AP in the field of MAC
of AP.
Here is an example of how to configure wireless repeater. Please follow
the instructions:
1. Configure the Operating Mode of the Access Point Access Points.
• Set AP1 on LAN Segment 1 to Access Point mode.
• Set AP2 to Repeater mode with the MAC address of its root AP
(AP1).
• Set AP3 to Repeater mode with the MAC address of its root AP
(AP2).

2. Verify the wireless security parameters for all access points, if need-
ed.
3. Verify connectivity across the LANs. A computer on any LAN segment
should be able to connect to the Internet, or share files and print-
ers with any other PCs or servers which are connected to any of the
three WLAN segments.
Note: You can extend this repeating by adding up to 2 additional Access
Points configured in repeater mode. However, since Repeater configu-
rations communicate in Half-Duplex mode, the bandwidth decreases as
you add Repeaters to the network. Also, you can extend the range of the
wireless network with wireless antenna accessories.
• Bridge (Point to Point) - This mode bridges the AP and another AP
also in bridge mode to connect two wired LANs. Please input the
MAC address of the other AP in the field of MAC of AP.
Here is an example of how to configure Point-to-Point Bridge. Please
follow the instructions:
Figure 5-9: Point-to-Point Bridge
1. Set AP1 on LAN Segment 1 to Point-to-Point Bridge mode.
2. Set AP2 on LAN Segment 2 to Point-to-Point Bridge mode. AP1 must
have AP2’s MAC address in its MAC Address field and AP2 must
have AP1’s MAC address in its MAC Address field.
3. Configure and verify the following parameters for both access
points:
• Both use the same Channel and security settings if security is in
use.
• Verify connectivity across LAN 1 and LAN 2. A computer on either
LAN segment should be able to connect to the Internet, or share
files and printers of any other PCs or servers which are connected
to LAN Segment 1 or LAN Segment 2.
• Bridge (Point to Multi-Point) - This mode bridges the AP and up to
4 APs also in bridge mode to connect two or more wired LANs.
Please input the MAC address of other APs in the field of MAC of
AP1 to MAC of AP4.
