Key Features The NETGEAR ME103 provides solid functionality, including these features: • Multiple Operating Modes - Wireless Access Point. Operates as a standard 802.11b or 802.11x Access Point. - Point-to-Point Bridge. In this mode, the ME103 only communicates with another bridge-mode wireless station. You must enter the MAC address (physical address) of the other bridge-mode wireless station in the field provided. WEP should be used to protect this communication. - Point-to-Multi-Point Bridge. Select this only if this ME103 is the "Master" for a group of bridge-mode wireless stations. The other bridge-mode wireless stations must be set to Point-to-Point Bridge mode, using this ME103's MAC address. They then send all traffic to this "Master", rather than communicate directly with each other. WEP should be used to protect this traffic. 2-2 Introduction August 2003
