1.5 Wireless Operation Modes

The SoLo51 can perform as a multi-function wireless device. Through the web interface,

users can easily select which wireless mode they wish the SoLo51 to perform.

The SoLo51 can be configured to operate in the following wireless operation modes:

1.5.1

Access

Point

Mode(bridge mode-WDS parent+AP)

When operating in the Access Point mode, the SoLo51 becomes the center hub of the

wireless network. All wireless cards and clients connect and communicate through SoLo51.

This type of network is known as “Infrastructure network”. Other SoLo51 or 802.11b/g

CPE can connect to AP mode through “Client Infrastructure Mode” or “(WDS child)Bridge

Infrastructure Mode”. The Access Point mode will act as “WDS parent+AP” when

connecting with the “Bridge Infrastructure mode”.

1.5.4

Bridge

Infrastructure

Mode (WDS client)

This mode is also known as "WDS Station" or "Client mode with MAC address

transparency". The Bridge Infrastructure mode can only connect with “Access Point” mode.

2 Bridge Infrastructure can not connect with each other. It works like client mode with MAC

address transparency function. In another word, the MAC addresses of the PCs will be

passed instead of the AP's wireless MAC address. If you require Bridge connection with

WPA-PSK or WPA-PSK2 connection, please use this mode instead. However, this mode

might not work with some outdoor APs. If it occurs, please use Client Infrastructure or

WDS Bridge instead.

1.5.5

Client

Infrastructure

Mode

This mode is also known as “Client” mode. In Client Infrastructure mode, the SoLo51

acts as if it is a wireless adapter to connect with a remote Access Point. Users can attach

a computer or a router to the LAN port of SoLo51 to get network access. This mode is often

used by WISP on the subscriber’s side.

1.5.7

WISP

Router

Mode

In WISP Router Mode, SoLo51 connects to the remote Access Point as in Client

Infrastructure Mode. On the LAN side, it acts like a wired router for IP sharing function.

This mode is best used for IP sharing application for WISP subscribers. In this mode, the

WAN is the wireless client side; the LAN is the wired side.

1.5.8

Router

Mode

In AP Router Mode, theSoLo51behaves like a wireless router. The LAN port of the SoLo51

will become WAN port. The wireless network of Solo51 becomes the LAN side. Please note

when this mode is used, the only way to manage the SoLo51 is through the wireless side

unless remote management is opened.
