Entering Basic Settings
•
Repeater Access Point—Press
r
and then press
Enter
to select this setting. Use this setting to set up
the bridge as a rugged repeater access point. A repeater access point is not connected to the wired
LAN; it is placed within radio range of an access point connected to the wired LAN to extend the
range of your infrastructure or to overcome an obstacle that blocks radio communication. A repeater
access point can associate to other access points (root or repeater) and bridges (root and non-root
with clients). It will accept associations from other repeater access points and client devices. When
you select Repeater Access Point, the bridge’s STP function is disabled.
•
Site Survey Client—Press
s
and then press
Enter
to select this setting. Use this setting when
performing a site survey for a repeater access point. When you select this setting, clients are not
allowed to associate and the bridge’s STP function is disabled.
Step 12
Press
op
and then press
Enter
to select Optimize Radio Network For. These options assign either
preconfigured settings or customized settings for the bridge radio:
•
Throughput—Press
t
and then press
Enter
to select this setting. Maximizes the data volume handled
by the bridge but might reduce the bridge’s range.
•
Range—Press
r
and then press
Enter
to select this setting. Maximizes the bridge’s range but might
reduce throughput.
•
Custom—Press
c
and then press
Enter
to select this setting. The bridge will use the settings you
enter on the Root Radio Hardware page. Chapter 3 of the
Cisco Aironet 350 Series Bridge Software
Configuration Guide
describes the Root Radio Hardware page.
Step 13
Use the Ensure Compatibility With setting to automatically configure the bridge to be compatible with
other devices on your wireless LAN:
•
2Mb/sec clients—Press
2
and then press
Enter
to select this setting. Select this setting if your
network contains Cisco Aironet devices that operate at 2 Mbps.
•
non-Aironet 802.11—Press
no
and then press
Enter
to select this setting. Select this setting if the
bridge is operating as an access point and there are non-Cisco Aironet devices on your wireless
LAN.
