Address Adaption
In client mode the client station usually replaces the MAC addresses con-
tained in the data packets of the connected devices with the own MAC ad-
dress. The access point on the other side of the connection therefore only
"sees" the MAC address of the client station, but not the MAC address of the
connected computer or computers.
In some installations it is required, that the MAC address of the computer and
not of the client station is transmitted. With the option Address-Adaption the
replacement of the MAC address by the client stations is prevented and the
data packets are transmitted with the original MAC address.
Note: The address-adaption only works if only one computer is connected
to the client station.
Client Bridge Support
With address-adaption (’Address Adaption’ → page 73) the MAC address of
only one connected device is visible to the access point. With a Client-Bridge
Support all MAC addresses of the stations in the LAN behind the client sta-
tions are transmitted transparently to the access point.
