modes for EnStation5-ACv2/EnStationACv2/ENH500v3/ENS500-ACv2/ENS500EXT-ACv2.
Access Point Mode
In Access Point Mode, device behaves likes a central connection for stations or clients that support IEEE 802.11ac/a/n networks.
ThestationsandclientsmustbeconguredtousethesameSSID(ServiceSetIdentier)andsecuritypasswordtoassociate
with the EnStationAC. The EnStationAC supports up to one (1)/eight (8) SSIDs per band when EnJet enabled/disabled at the
same time for secure access.
Client Bridge Mode
The device essentially acts as a wireless adapter that connects to an access point to allow a system of wireless access
to the network in the Client Bridge mode. Since the client is on the same subnet, the device can broadcast to reach the
client device.
If you use the client bridge mode in the device, you can use the AP Detection feature to scan for Access Points within
range.WhenyoundanAccessPoint,congurethedeivcetousethesameSSIDandSecurityPasswordastheAccess
