• Building
materials
make a
difference.
A solid metal door
and/or
aluminum stubs may have a
significant negative
effect on
the
signal
strength
of the SWE 2520. Locate your
wireless devices
carefully so the signal can pass
through
drywall and/or
open
doorways. Materials such as glass,
steel,
metal,
concrete,
water
(example: fish tanks), mirrors, file
cabinets,
and/or brick can
also
diminish
wireless
signal
strength.
•
Interference
from your
other
electrical devices and/or
appliances
that
generate
RF noise can also diminish the SWE
2520’s
signal
strength.
The most common
types
of devices are

The SWE 2520 has the ability to
operate
in various modes. This
chapter describes
the
operating
modes of the SWE
2520.
Access Point
Mode
In Access Point Mode, the SWE 2520
behaves
like 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 SWE 2520. The
SWE 2520
supports
up to eight (8)
SSIDs
per band (16 total) at the same time for
secure
access.
14
WDS
AP
Mode
The SWE 2520 also
supports
WDS
AP mode. This
operating
mode allows
wireless connections
to the SWE 2520
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.
15
WDS
Bridge
Mode
In
WDS
Bridge Mode, the SWE 2520 can
wirelessly connect different
LANs
by configuring the
MAC
address
and
security
settings
of each SWE
2520 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 SWE 2520 to
wirelessly
connect two wired
LANs,
as shown in the
following
fi
gu
r
e
.
WDS
Bridge Mode can
establish
up to four (4)
WDS
links,
creating
a star-like
network.
Note:
WDS
Bridge Mode does not act as an Access Point
because
Access Points linked by
WDS
use the same
frequency
channel. More
Access Points
connected together
may lower
throughput.
This
configuration
can also be
susceptible
to
generate endless network
loops
in your network, so it is
recommended
to
enable
the Spanning Tree
feature
to
prevent
this from
happening.
You can find
information
about the Spanning Tree Function on page
