3. Wireless Bridge – A pair of APs operating under Bridge mode to act as the bridge that
connects two Ethernet networks or Ethernet enabled clients together. You must make sure
that the SSID and Channel is set to the same as that used by the AP you wish to connect.
The “Remote Bridge MAC” is where you enter the MAC address of the other AP that you
connect to setup the wireless bridge.
Remote Bridge MAC filed : key in the LAN Mac address (NOT wireless Mac address)
of the AP that you wish to get connected.
4. Multiple Bridge – A group of APs which consists of two or more APs operating under Multiple
Bridge mode, that can connect two or more Ethernet networks or Ethernet enabled clients
together. The way that multiple bridge setup is based on the topology of Ad -Hoc mode.
NO TE:
All APs have to use the same Channel and SSID in order to form a Multiple Bridge network.
Beacon Interval: To set the period of time in milliseconds that AP sends out a beacon. Default
is 100 milliseconds.
RTS Threshold: To set the size of RTS/CTS packet size. Default is 2432 bytes.
Fragmentation Threshold
: To set the number of bytes used for the fragmentation boundary
for directed messages. Default is 2436 bytes.
DTIM Interval: This value indicates the interval of the Delivery Traffic Indication Message
(DTIM). A DTIM field is a countdown field informing clients of the next window for listening to
broadcast and multicast messages. When the Access Point has buffered broadcast or multicast
messages for associated clients, it sends the next DTIM w ith a DTIM Interval value. Access Point
Clients hear the beacons and awaken to receive the broadcast and multicast messages.
Authentication Type: The Authentication Type default is set to Open System, and you may
want to set to Shared Key when the clients and AP in the same wireless network enable the WEP
encryption. All the nodes and hosts on the network must use the same authentication type. It’s
recommend that you use the default setting.
SSID Broadcast:
While SSID Broadcast is enabled, all wireless clients will be able to
communicate with the Access Point. For security purpose, you may want to disable SSID
Broadcast to allow only those wireless clients with the AP ’s SSID to communicate with the Access
Point.
TX Rate: Select the data rate for data transmission.
11g Only Mode: Select Enable or Disable IEEE 802.11g (dragt) only mode.
