SpaceLink Access Point
Chapter 3 - SpaceLink Access Point Manager
Wireless Bridge
The Wireless Bridge mode has two
options; a Point to Point setting and
a Point to MultiPoint setting.
Point to Point
With Point to Point, the SpaceLink
Access Point can only communicate
with one other SpaceLink Access Point
that is also set to Wireless Bridge mode.
This provides the best option to bridge
to locations but it is recommended to get the optional external antenna for the
rooftop to increase signal strength. Remember that the speed will automatically
decrease to accommodate weak signals.
Channel
Both Access Points in Wireless Bridge mode must be set to the same channel.
MAC Address of Host AP
Enter the MAC address of the target SpaceLink Access Point (set to Wireless
Bridge mode) in order to designate which SpaceLink Access Point will be
the partner for this SpaceLink Access Point (also set to Wireless Bridge
mode).
Point to MultiPoint
With Point to MultiPoint, one
SpaceLink Access Point in Wireless
Bridge mode can communicate with
several other SpaceLink Access
Points (also set to Wireless Bridge
mode). This option will decrease
bandwidth and range.
