Chapter 2. Network Topologies
This chapter describes several main types of installations commonly
implemented using the
Outdoor Wireless Access Point
(OWAP)
. This is
by no means intended to be an exhaustive list of all possible configurations,
but rather shows examples of some of the more common implementations
(as shown in following figuration).
The OWAP can perform in router or bridge modes. In a wireless topology,
all communication between network stations is done through a centralized
Access Point. To show some possibilities of wireless topologies, the
following examples are provided:
1. Wireless Access Bridge
2. Wireless Access Router with PPPoE Ethernet connection
3. Wireless Access Router with dynamic IP address Ethernet
4. Wireless Access Router with static IP address Ethernet

2.1 Wireless Access Bridge
1. Set the OWAP as a bridge (
bridge IP address is 192.168.2.1
).
2. Set Wireless parameters on OWAP: Channel (
1
) and SSID
(
wireless
)
3. Set Wireless parameters on client stations PC1, PC2 and PC3:
SSID (
wireless
).
4. Left side stations are transparent to the right side network.
5. DHCP server assigns IP address to PC1, PC2 and PC3.
