The following tables outline the steps to set-up a wireless cable replacement connection
between two serial ports, using the Airborne products. This connection relies upon a type of
peer-to-peer wireless network call an Ad Hoc. This network type does not require an Access
Point. The setup is written using Command Line Interface (CLI) commands but can just as
easily be set up via the Bridge’s configuration pages. Please see the CLI Reference Guide for a
full description of the commands.

All parameters values are included for the purpose of demonstration only.
Although valid, they should be changed to meet the application
