4. 

Configure and verify the following parameters for both access points:

•

Verify that the LAN network configuration of the WNDAP350 wireless access points 
both are configured to operate in the same LAN network address range as the LAN 
devices

•

Both use the same ESSID, Channel, authentication mode, if any, and security 
settings if security is in use.

5. 

Verify connectivity across the LAN 1 and LAN 2. 

A computer on either LAN segment should be able to connect to the Internet or share 

files and printers of any other PCs or servers connected to LAN Segment 1 or LAN 
Segment 2.

•

WNDAP350 (AP1) on LAN Segment 1 in Point-to-Point Bridge mode with the Remote 
MAC Address of AP2.

•

Because it is in the central location, configure WNDAP350 (AP2) on LAN Segment 2 
in Point-to-Multi-Point Bridge mode. The MAC addresses of the adjacent APs are 
required in AP2.
