Enabling Wireless Bridging
The MaxR-3210 Single Band Wireless-N Access Point lets you build large bridged wireless
networks. Select the desired Access Point mode for your environment:
•
Wireless Point-to-Point Bridge
. In this mode, the MaxR-3210 can communicate with another
bridge mode wirelesss access point—with wireless clients if you select the
Enable Wireless
Client Association
check box.
When you click the
Edit
button, you must enter the Profile Name and the MAC address
(physical address) of the other Bridge mode wireless access point in the fields provided. WEP,
WPA-PSK, or WPA2-PSK are supported. WPA2-PSK can (and should) be used to protect this
communication.
•
Wireless Point-to-Multi-Point Bridge
. Select this only if this MaxR-3210 is the “Master” for
a group of bridge-mode wireless access points. Select the
Enable Wireless Client
Association
option to enable wireless clients to associate with this access point.
The other bridge-mode wireless access points must be set to point-to-point bridge mode, using
the MAC address of this MaxR-3210. They then send all traffic to this “Master”, rather than
communicate directly with each other.
Data 3 (Background)
Lowest priority queue, high throughput. Bulk data that requires maxi-
mum throughput and is not time-sensitive is sent to this queue (FTP
data, for example).
AIFS (Arbitration Inter-Frame
Space)
Specifies a wait time (in milliseconds) for data frames. Valid values for
AIFS are 1 through 255.
cwMin (Minimum Contention
Window)
Upper limit (in milliseconds) of a range from which the initial random
backoff wait time is determined. Valid values for the “cwmin” are 1, 3, 7,
15, 31, 63, 127, 255, 511, or 1024. The value for cwMin must be lower
than the value for cwMax.
cwMax (Maximum Contention
Window)
Upper limit (in milliseconds) for the doubling of the random backoff
value. Valid values for the “cwmax” are 1, 3, 7, 15, 31, 63, 127, 255,
511, or 1024. The value for cwMax must be higher than the value for
cwMin.
Max. Burst Length
Specifies (in milliseconds) the Maximum Burst Length allowed for
packet bursts on the wireless network. A packet burst is a collection of
multiple frames transmitted without header information. Valid values for
maximum burst length are 0.0 through 999.9.
