1. Introduction
„ Firmware upgradeable.
1.3 Wireless Operation Modes
A group of wireless stations communicating with each other is called a Basic Service Set
(BSS) and is identified by a unique SSID.
When a WHA-5500CPE is used, it can be configured to operate in the following network
configurations.
1.3.1 Access Point Mode
When configured in the Access Point mode, the WHA-5500CPE allows a group of wireless
stations to communicate with each other through it. Such a network is called an
Infrastructure BSS.
The WHA-5500CPE further provides bridging functions between the wireless network and
the wired LAN network.
When multiple access points are connected to the same LAN segment, stations can roam
from one WHA-5500CPE to another without losing their connections, as long as they are
using the same SSID. See the diagram below.
