The client automatically adopts the source MAC address of the first frame that it
receives over the Ethernet interface.
– Manual
If you select "Manual", enter the MAC address in the "MAC Address" column.
– Own
The client uses the MAC address of the Ethernet interface for the WLAN interface.
– Layer 2 Tunnel
The client uses the MAC address of the Ethernet interface for the WLAN interface.
The network is also informed of the MAC addresses connected to the Ethernet
interface of the client. Up to eight MAC addresses can be used.

In client mode, the SCALANCE W device attempts to connect to the access point that
corresponds to the security settings of security context 1. The clients can only connect
to the access point on which the "Broadcast SSID" option is enabled.
– Disabled
The client attempts to connect to the access point from the SSID list whose security
settings match one of the defined security contexts.
●
– Enabled
After changing to a different access point, a check is made to find out whether the
IPv4 address of the client is still valid. If he IPv4 address is invalid, a new IPv4
address is requested from the DHCP server.
– Disabled
If the client changes to a different access point the IPv4 address is not checked.
