OP Mode Select the operating mode for radio 1 or radio 2.
AP Mode means the AP can receive connections from wireless clients and pass their data
traffic through to the NXC to be managed (or subsequently passed on to an upstream
gateway for managing).
MON Mode means the AP monitors the broadcast area for other APs, then passes their
information on to the NXC where it can be determined if those APs are friendly or rogue. If an
AP is set to this mode it cannot receive connections from wireless clients.
Root AP means the radio acts as an AP and also supports the wireless connections with other
APs (in repeater mode) to form a ZyMesh to extend its wireless network.
Repeater AP means the radio can establish a wireless connection with other APs (in either
root AP or repeater mode).
Note: To prevent bridge loops, do NOT set both radios on a managed AP to
Repeater AP mode.
Note: The root AP and repeater AP(s) in a ZyMesh must use the same country code
and AP radio profile settings in order to communicate with each other.
Note: Ensure you restart the managed AP after you change its operating mode.

Profile
This field is available only when the radio is in Root AP or Repeater AP mode.
Select the ZyMesh profile the radio uses to connect to a root AP or repeater.
Enable Wireless
Bridging
This field is available only when the radio is in Repeater AP mode.
Select this option to enable wireless bridging on the radio.
The managed AP must support LAN provision and the radio should be in repeater mode.
VLAN and bridge interfaces are created automatically according to the LAN port’s VLAN
settings. When wireless bridging is enabled, the managed repeater AP can still transmit data
through its Ethernet port(s) after the ZyMesh link is up. Be careful to avoid bridge loops.
The managed APs in the same ZyMesh must use the same static VLAN ID.
