APPENDIX 7: CONFIGURING A POINT-TO-POINT BRIDGING LINK
In order to create a point-to-point bridging link between an ASN-700 (AP/Master) and ASN-900
(Station/Slave) follow these steps:
ASN-700
1. Login to the web interface of the unit.
2. Go to NETWORKING>radio1 page. Change the operating mode to AP/Master. Define a
proper SSID and channel. If you would like to use AES encryption, enable it and enter a key in
the field. You also need to set the MAC address of the station/slave unit (ASN-900) into the
corresponding field. Delete the IP address of the radio interface and press OK.
3. Go to NETWORKING>ethernet1 page and delete the IP address. Press OK.
4. Go to NETWORKING>bridge page and enable bridge. Make sure that the Activate tunnel
box for the radio interface is checked. Change the IP address to one in accordance with your
network plan and press OK.
5. Go to NETWORKING>Routing page and set the default route for the unit (e.g. [0.0.0.0]
[0.0.0.0] [IP of the gateway]). Press OK.
6. You might also want to change other parameters such as passwords, time/date, snmp-
community, etc.
7. Press Commit Settings. The new settings will now be taken into use.
ASN-900
1. Login to the web interface of the unit.
2. Go to NETWORKING>radio1 page. Check that the operating mode is Station/Slave. Enter
the same SSID as you did for the ASN-700 unit (AP/Master) earlier. Change the wireless mode
to 11a. If you enabled the AES encryption on the ASN-700 unit, also enable it on the ASN-900
with the same key. Delete the IP address from the radio interface, and press OK.
3. Go to NETWORKING>ethernet1 page and delete the IP address. Press OK.
4. Go to NETWORKING>bridge2 page and delete the ethernet1 interface from the bridge2.
Press OK.
5. Go to NETWORKING>bridge1 page and delete the radio2 interface from the bridge1. Add
the ethernet1 interface to the bridge1. Change the IP address to one in accordance with your
network plan. Enable bridge and make sure that the Activate tunnel box is checked. Press OK.
6. Go to NETWORKING>Routing page and set the default route for the unit (e.g. [0.0.0.0]
[0.0.0.0] [IP of the gateway]). Press OK.
7. You might also want to change other parameters such as passwords, time/date, snmp-
community, etc.
8. Press Commit Settings. The new settings will now be taken into use.
