Operating Mode

Four operating modes are available on the WAP-7500. In a point to point environment where there

are only two radios, Peer-to-Peer is recommended as it works more efficiently.

Base Station

: The WAP-7500 connects directly to the main Ethernet LAN and receives

connectivity from other wireless devices.

CPE

: The WAP-7500 connects to a remote LAN and the Base Station in it.

Peer-to-Peer (CSMA)

: The WAP-7500 connects to another wireless device within the same

networking program using CSMA protocol. CSMA ensures that only one node is transmitting on the

network at any one time. Under this mode, both PTP and PTMP are available. It is highly

recommended to use this mode when the distance between two nodes is less than 20KM.
