Thirty two operating modes.
E.S.P, 32 has to operate and wants the station moved or as they moved and the soft access point moved,
all of it's called Eppy.
Now, let's talk about each of them.
One of the greatest features we have, E.S.P 30 to provide is that it cannot only connect to an existing
Wi-Fi network and act as an observer, but it can also set up a network of its own, allowing other
devices to connect directly to it and access web pages.
This is possible because SB 32 can operate in different operating modes, usually there's three the
station more the soft access point mode and the third one that combines both of them at the same time,
which provide the possibility of building networks.
But we won't come out of that one because the two mostly used operating models are station mode and
soft access point mode.
In case you are interested in networks, who can.
Refer to the documents that we will provide with this course to learn more about the mood that combines
both of these two months.
Now, let's start by covering the station.
What they E.S.P 32 that connects to an existing Wi-Fi network, one created by your wireless router
is called station or Station Mode E.S.P.
Now, in Stamford, E.S.P, 32 gets IP from wireless router to which it is connected with this IP address,
it can set up our server and deliver all pagers to all connected devices under existing Wi-Fi network.
So as you can see here, we have an access point and the ISP will connect to that access point so that
it can has access to the Internet.
Now, the second mode is called soft access point mode in the soft access point mode, they SB 32 creates
its own Wi-Fi network and acts as a hub just like wildfire after for one or more stations.
That is called Access Point or AP.
Unlike Wi-Fi, rather, it does not have interface to our network.
So such mode of operation is called soft access point or soft AP.
Also the maximum number of stations that can be connected to its.
Network is very limited.
It's like up to five, an episode, ESP 32 creates a new Wi-Fi network and set aside, which is basically
the name of the network and IP address to it.
With this IP address, it can deliver what pages to all connected devices under its own network.
And from this image, you can see that this is people, us as a soft access point and the laptop and
the mobile phone as a station so they can connect to that network that was created by the ISP board.
This is the soft access point mode.
While in station Sorin.
In the station mode, the ISP has to connect to the access point to access the Internet.
Otherwise it won't be able to access the Internet and it cannot create its own network.
So the laptop can connect to the ISP network directly because it does not have any while an access point
modes of access point mode.
They ASPEY creates a wireless network that any device can connect to.
So this is the main difference between towards these two moves in this mode, esp act as an access point
here, esp as a station that connects to an access point that is already there.
Thanks for watching this lesson, if you have any question about these two moons, you can ask them
in the honeyball.
I will also provide explanation on how to code each of these two moons and what are the modifications
required to switch between soft access point mode and station.
This will be in the coding section, but that's it for now.
