This chapter describes the operating modes of the ENH900EXT. Access Point Mode In Access Point Mode, ENH900EXT behaves likes a central connection for stations or clients that support IEEE 802.11 a/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 ENH900EXT. The ENH900EXT supports up to eight SSIDs at the same time for secure access. ENH900EXT Access Point Client 2.4 GHz 5 GHz Client Client Client Client Client 21 The ENH900EXT can be used as a centralized Outdoor Access Point with which other EnGenius Wireless N 2.4GHz or 5GHz Outdoor Client Bridges can associate; leveraging the long-range capability of their internal high-gain directional antennas, resulting in a very cost-effective solution to expand a company network over a multiple building campus.

This operating mode allows wireless connections to the ENH900EXT 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 AP MAC addresses. ENH900EXT WDS AP ENH900EXT WDS AP 5 GHz 5 GHz Client Computer Client Computer 2.4 GHz 2.4 GHz Client Client Client Client 23 WDS Bridge Mode In WDS Bridge Mode, the ENH900EXT can wirelessly connect different LANs by configuring the MAC address and security settings of each ENH900EXT 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 ENH900EXT 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. Client Computer ENH900EXT WDS Bridge Client Computer Client Computer ENH900EXT WDS Bridge 24 ENH900EXTWDS Bridge WDS Station Mode Expands the WDS by receiving a wireless signal/service and sharing through the Ethernet port. ENH900EXT WDS AP on both 5 GHz & 2.4 GHz ENH900EXT WDS Station ENH900EXT WDS Station ENH900EXT WDS Station 25 Client Bridge Mode In the Client Bridge mode, the ENH900EXT functions like a wireless network adaptor. This allows the ENH900EXT to share the acquired wireless network access (via another device in Access Point mode) with wired devices connected via Ethernet to it (typically via a networked switch).
