Read the text:
"The Repeater mode operation can repeat wireless signals from
AP to wireless clients thus extending the WLAN range."
Also see the 3rd diagram (repeater mode) on the bottom of the page.
Looks like a fairly conventional repeater, range extender, distance
stretcher, or similar device. Incidentally, ALL (and I do mean ALL)
802.11 wireless is bridging.

Note that there are two hardware version (v1.x and v2.x). The web
site only seems to have info on v2.x. Docs and downloads for v2.0:
<http://global.level1.com/technical.php?Id=5&Type=All&SearchName=WAP-0006v.2.x>
I think you'll find the setup instructions in the user manual. I'm
too lazy to download and read them.
