AirBridge mode The AirBridge mode specifies the type of multiple access method that the AirBridge uses. Note: Closely related to the AirBridge mode is the AirBridge operation mode (that is, with the term operation). For more information, see Operation mode: AirBridge Master, AirBridge Satellite, Access Point, or Client Bridge on page 10. You can select the AirBridge mode only if the operation mode of the AirBridge is AirBridge Master or AirBridge Satellite. In a master-to-satellite setup, you must either enable or disable the AirBridge mode on both the master and the satellite. (Do not enable it on one and disable it on the other.)
