Chapter 4
Building a Wireless
Network

24
The EnStationAC has the ability to operate in various modes. This chapter describes the operating modes of the EnStationAC.

Access Point Mode

In Access Point Mode, EnStationAC behaves likes a central connection for stations or clients that support IEEE 802.11a/b/g/n
networks. The stations and clients must be configured to use the same SSID (Service Set Identifier) and security password to
associate with the EnStationAC. The EnStationAC supports up to eight (8) SSIDs per band at the same time for secure access.

WDS AP Mode

25
Client Bridge Mode
The EnStationAC essentially acts as a wireless adapter that connects to an access point to allow a system of wireless
access to the network in the Client Bridge mode. Since the computers are on the same subnet, the EnStationAC can
broadcast to reach all end-devices.
If you use the client bridge mode in the EnStationAC, you can use the AP Detection feature to scan for Access Points
within range. When you find an Access Point, configure the EnStationAC to use the same SSID and Security Password as
the Access Point to associate with it.

26
WDS AP Mode
The EnStationAC also supports WDS AP mode. This operating mode allows wireless connections to the EnStationAC using
WDS technology. In this mode, configure the MAC addresses in both Access Points to enlarge the wireless area by enabling
WDS Link settings. WDS supports up to four (4) AP MAC addresses.

27
WDS Bridge Mode
In WDS Bridge Mode, the EnStationAC can wirelessly connect different LANs by configuring the MAC address and
security settings of each EnStationAC device. Use this mode when two wired LANs located a small distance apart want
to communicate with each other. The best solution is to use the EnStationAC to wirelessly connect two wired LANs, as
shown in the following diagram.
WDS Bridge Mode can establish up to four WDS links, creating a star-like network.
Note: WDS Bridge Mode does not act as an Access Point. Access Points linked by WDS are using the same frequency
channel. More Access Points connected together may lower throughput. This configuration can be susceptible to
generate endless network loops in your network, so it is recommended to enable the Spanning Tree function to
prevent this from happening.

28
WDS Station Mode
Station mode expands the WDS by receiving a wireless signal/service and sharing it through the Ethernet port.

Federal Communication Commission Interference Statement
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful
interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits
are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate
radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications.
However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio
or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by
one of the following measures:
• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
• Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.
• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help

FCC Caution:
Any changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate
this equipment.
This transmitter must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.

IMPORTANT NOTE:
Radiation Exposure Statement
EnStationAC: This equipment complies with FCC radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled environment. This equipment should be
installed and operated with minimum distance 26 cm between the radiator & your body.
