Access Point vs Client
The Access Point unit acts as the "wireless
master" unit. The Access Point sets up the
wireless links to the Client units, and controls
the wireless communications. The first diagram
shows two Ethernet devices being linked. One
XYR 400E is configured as an Access Point and
one as a Client - in this example it doesn't mater
which unit is the Access Point.
The second diagram shows an existing LAN being
extended using XYR 400E's. In this example, the
Access Point should be configured at the LAN end
- although the wireless link will still work if the
Client is at the LAN end.
An Access Point can connect to multiple Clients. In
this case, the Access Point should be the "central"
unit.
An Access Point could be used as a "Repeater" unit
to connect two XYR 400E Clients which do not have direct reliable radio paths.

Multiple Access Points can be set-up in a "mesh" network to provide multiple repeaters.
