5.3 AP Client Mode
This mode allows your AW5500 to connect to an AP. Ethernet clients connected to AW5500
over the Ethernet interface are allowed to access the network through AW5500 ’s wireless
interface. Under this mode, the device uses its second MAC address as its wireless interface
instead of the first one.
Figure 5.6
Remember that your AW5500 can function as both a Regular AP and as an AP Client (the
latter connected to the first one).
Supposing we already have the network physically installed, the steps for configuring your
AW5500 as an AP Client are as follows.
 On Operation Mode choose AP Client.
 Click on “Save Settings”, go then to Mobile Station under the Wireless section and
click on “Scan network” to choose an SSID.
 A window/tab will pop out; in that new window/tab, there will be the names of the
surrounding Wireless Networks. Choose the one that you already designated as your
Regular AP by selecting its corresponding SSID.
 Click “Connect”, this will make you close the pop-out window/tab, and leave you with
the settings selected on the previous page.
