Chapter 2. Network Topologies
This chapter describes several main types of installations commonly
implemented using the AirEther
TM
AP11 Access Point. 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
Figure 2-1
).
Figure 2-1
The AirEther AP11 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 Configuration Examples
2.1.1 Wireless Access Bridge
1. Set the AirEther AP11 as a bridge (
bridge IP address is 192.168.2.1
).
2. Set Wireless parameters on AirEther AP11: 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.
