.
Configuring the Bridge for Infrastructure mode
Infrastructure mode prepares the Bridge for use with an Access Point.
Assigning a Service Set Identifier (SSID) to the Bridge
To allow a connection between the Bridge and an Access Point, the SSID of the two
devices must be identical.
Note:
If the Bridge is configured with an SSID of “
any
”, it will connect to the Access
Point with the best signal, so long as all security settings match.
Enabling Wireless Security (
optional
)
Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) and WiFi Protected Access (WPA) are security
mechanisms for wireless local area networks (WLANs), defined in the 802.11 standard.
Choosing Static or DHCP Assignment of IP Address
If DHCP is used, a client name can be assigned to allow identification of specific bridges
on a network.
Assigning user discovery name
The user discovery name identifies the Bridge in Evaluation and Management Utilities (if
Enable UDAP is checked in the Services Page).
Specifying serial port parameters
Configure the Bridge to use the appropriate serial interface type, as well as the same
baud rate, data bits, parity, and flow control as the attached serial device. See “Serial
Interface Configuration Page” on page 35.
