communication with any other Wireless end-nodes or the wired Ethernet network.
There are two things need to be check for your wireless end nodes, the services set ID (SSID)
and the Wired Equivalent Protocol (WEP), both parameters should the same with your Access
Point.
4.2 Wireless AP Client mode
The WAP-4000A can also act as a client on a wireless LAN. When configured as AP Client
mode, WAP-4000A soon makes your connected PC a wireless end node. This mode can be
deployed if your end nodes (already installed with an Ethernet Adapter) do not want to make
any change but want to move it somewhere not easy to have the wire.
In this mode, WAP-4000A will need to accompany with an existing WAP-4000A in access point
mode in the wireless network.
