4. Tryby pracy
The VONETS VAP11S supports three primary operating modes: WiFi Bridge, WiFi Router, and WiFi Repeater.
4.1 WiFi Bridge Mode (WiFi to Ethernet)
In Bridge mode, the VAP11S converts a wireless signal into a wired Ethernet connection. This is useful for connecting wired-only devices (e.g., DVRs, IP cameras, network printers) to a wireless network.
Figure 4: Bridge application diagram showing VAP11S connecting a wireless network to wired devices like a cash register or surveillance recorder.
