An example of service configuration diagram for the branch AP type is shown in the below
figure.
Figure 15. Example of W-EP Wireless LAN System Configuration for Multiple Sites consisting of
Headquarter and Branches
If user traffics are concentrated on a single centralized APC when there are many
branches or they are far from headquarter, performance may be deteriorated due to the
time delay of packet transmission, and so on. Therefore, use different operation schemes
according to the location of W-EP wireless LAN AP in the configuration of headquarter and
branches.
In other words, the local W-EP wireless LAN AP in a headquarter does traffic tunnelling
to an APC and the branch AP installed in a branch switches a user traffic directly to a
destination address without tunnelling to the APC. Even at this time, the APC in
headquarter manages all the W-EP wireless LAN APs and users.
