Note: Multiple WLAN clients can register with a WLAN device in AP mode,
which is not the case for a WLAN device in client mode.
3.6.1 Basic configuration
U Setting the operating mode
BAT Wireless Routers can be operated in two different operating modes:
D As an access point, it forms the link between WLAN clients and the cabled
LAN.
D In client mode, the device itself locates the connection to another access
point and attempts to register with a wireless network. In this case the de-
vice serves to link a cabled network device to an access point over a wire-
less connection.
Note: Some models can only operate in the WLAN client operating mode.
Setting of the operating mode on these devices is thus redundant.
V Client mode is enabled in the LANconfig 'Wireless LAN' configuration
area on the 'General' tab. The 'Interfaces' section allows you to select
from a list the physical WLAN settings for the desired WLAN interface.
Note: The devices have either one or more WLAN interfaces depending on
model.
V The WLAN interface is enabled from the 'Operation' tab. In addition, the
WLAN operating mode is set to 'Station (client mode)'.
