- WLAN operating modes LANCOM Access Points can be operated in various operating
modes:
- As an access point, it forms the link between WLAN clients and the cabled LAN.
- In client mode, the device itself locates the connection to another access point and attempts to register with a wireless network. In this case the device serves to link a cabled network device to an access point over a wireless connection.
- As a managed Access Point, the device searches for a central WLAN-Controller from which it can obtain a configuration.
- Link LED function When setting up point-to-point connections or operating the device as
a WLAN client, the best possible positioning of the antennas is facilitated if the signal
strength can be recognized at different positions. The WLAN link LED can be used for
displaying the signal quality during the set-up phase. In the corresponding operation
mode, the WLAN link LED blinks faster the better the reception quality in the respective
antenna position is.
- Number of connections: In this operation mode, the LED uses "inverse flashing" in order to display the number of WLAN clients that are logged on to this access point as clients. There is a short pause after the number of flashes for each client. Select this operation mode when you are operating the LANCOM Wireless Router in access point mode.
- Client signal strength: In this operation mode, this LED displays the signal strength of the access point with which the LANCOM Access Point has registered itself as a client. The faster the LED blinks, the better the signal. Select this operation mode only if you are operating the LANCOM Access Point in client mode.
- P2P1 to P2P6 signal strength: In this operation mode, the LED displays the signal strength of respective P2P partner with which the LANCOM Access Point forms a P2P path. The faster the LED blinks, the better the signal.
