NXA-WAP250G 802.11b/g Wireless Access Point
System Setting - Operation
The options on this page allow you to enable/disable VLAN Status, and specify the Operation Mode. The
WAP-250G can be set as an access point, a wireless repeater or a wireless bridge according to how you
want to use the unit in your network (FIG. 27).
VLAN Status: Click the Enable radio button to maintain VLAN (virtual LANs) on the WAP-250G
(default: Disabled).
VLANs represent a method of creating independent logical networks within a physical network. Several
VLANs can co-exist within such a network. VLANs are commonly used to increase the number of
broadcast domains while reducing the size of each broadcast domain, which in turn reduces network
traffic and increases network security (both of which are hampered in cases of single large broadcast
domains). VAP1 VLAN is the management VLAN.
Operation Modes:
There are two Operation Modes:
AP: Set the device as an Access Point. The device can also act as a root AP in a wireless
bridge network.
Repeater & Bridge: Set the device as a Wireless Repeater and Bridge. The Root AP MAC
Address can be configured manually or selected after clicking Scan.
Reboot the WAP-250G after completing the settings.
FIG. 27 System Settings - Operation
In Repeater & Bridge mode, the access point only connects to other NXA-WAP250G
units.
You must set up security for the repeater to work properly.
