9 Using WISM+ in Bridge Mode w/Access Point
In the following scenario, we are going to connect two PCs using a wireless connection between the WISM+ Dev Kit
and an access point in 802.11b/g infrastructure mode. The WISM+ will be in Bridged mode and the TCP stack in the
PCs will guarantee delivery of the file across the network. We will then copy a large file from one PC to the other
across the WISM+/Access point link in order to test network throughput.
•
Connect the access point to the remote PC with an Ethernet cable. Firewall and Virus protection may have to
be disabled on both host and remote PCs. Set up a shared folder on both PCs, so each will be able to
access the folder on the opposite PC once the wireless connection is established.
To set this up
•
Make sure that both laptops have their TPC properties (for the wired Ethernet connection) set up to obtain an
IP address automatically (DHCP).
•
Configure the access point to have an SSID (in this example “TEST”) and no security.
