1.5.3 Client Infrastructure Mode

This mode is also known as “Client” mode. In Client Infrastructure mode, the AIRMAX5
acts as if it is a wireless adapter to connect with a remote Access Point. Users can attach
a computer or a router to the LAN port of AirMax5 to get network access. This mode is
often used by WISP on the subscriber’s side.

For AirMax5, there are 2 types of Client Infrastructure Mode: “Single User” and
“Multiple-User”. When “Single User” is chosen, only one PC that is connected behind the
AirMax can get IP address from remote DHCP server. When “multiple user” is chosen,
more than one PC can get IP address from remote DHCP server.

1.5.4 Client Ad Hoc Mode

In Client Ad Hoc mode, AIRMAX5 can connect to other wireless adapters without access
point. Users can attach a computer or a router to the LAN port of AirMax5 to get network
access. When in this mode, the AirMax5 can only operate in 5725 to 5850MHz.
