Point- to-point settings
The configuration of P2P connections involves setting not only the operating
mode but also the station name that the Access Point can connect to. Also,
the role as "Master" or "Slave" is set here.
Along with the settings for the Access Point itself, also to be defined is the

Point- to- point connections
LANCOM Access Points can serve not only as central stations in a wireless net-
work, they can also operate in point-to-point mode to bridge longer dis-
tances. For example, they can provide a secure connection between two
networks that are several kilometers apart — without direct cabling or expen-
sive leased lines.
This chapter introduces the basic principles involved in designing
point-to-point links and provides tips on aligning the antennas.
