WLAN client mode with transparent WLAN client mode in cnPilot AP’s (E4xx/E5xx/E6xx)?? For example, LANCOM equipment has this functionality…

None of the cnPilot WiFi equipment can be used in client mode. They can be used in WDS mesh mode with each other, but not with 3rd party WiFi radios. The ePMP radios can be used in WiFi client mode and connect to 3rd party radios, however support is limited for this mode of operation and it's mostly intended as a temporary way to convert a network over from WiFi to ePMP.

thats right, no client mode on the Enterprise APs. The APs can however form a mesh with any 3rd party AP that supports WDS mode.

Sample config of E-series APs forming a mesh with Ruckus APs in WDS mode:
