Operation
Mode

Select the desired mode:
• Access Point - operate as a normal Access Point
• Bridge (Point-to-Point) - Bridge to a single AP. You must

provide the MAC address of the other AP in the PTP Bridge
AP MAC Address field.

• Bridge (Multi-Point) - Select this only if this AP is the

"Master" for a group of Bridge-mode APs. The other Bridge-
mode APs must be set to Point-to-Point Bridge mode, using
this AP's MAC address. They then send all traffic to this
"Master".

• Wireless Client/Repeater - Act as a client or repeater for

another Access Point. If selected, you must provide Remote
SSID and the address (MAC address) of the other AP in the
Remote AP MAC Address field. In this mode, all traffic is
sent to the specified AP.

• Wireless Detection - This mode will turn the access point

into a wireless Monitor. A "Rouge AP" is an Access Point
which should not be in use, and so can be considered to be
providing unauthorized access to your LAN.
• No Security - If checked, then any AP operating with se-

curity disabled is considered to be a Rogue AP.

• Not in Legal AP List - If checked, then any AP not listed

in the "Legal AP List" is considered to be a Rogue AP. If
checked, you must maintain the Legal AP List.

• Define Legal AP - Click this to open a sub-screen

where you can modify the "Legal AP List". This list must
contain all known APs, so must be kept up to date.
