In this operating mode not the usual MAC addresses for instance in client
mode are used (in this example for server, access points and client stations),
but in conformity to point-to-point connections four addresses (the MAC ad-
dress of the station in LAN of the client station is additional). The fully trans-
parent connection of a LAN to the client station allows transmitting data
packets in the WLAN and therefore works like TFTP downloads, which are
triggered over a broadcast.
The Client-Bridge mode has following advantages compared to other meth-
ods:
D Compared to the "normal" client mode the address encryption (masquer-
ading) is not required.
D Compared to a point-to-point connection the entry of the MAC addresses
is not required. Additionally in the Client -Bridge mode more than six con-
nections (with P2P limited) can be established.
Note: The Client-Bridge mode can only be used between two BAT devices.
Applying the Client-Bridge mode must also be activated in the settings for
the logical network of the access point.
Configuration with WEBconfig or Telnet

the following paths:
