EN

Please observe that only the MAC addresses of the WLAN cards at the
other end of the connections are to be entered here! Not the access
point's own MAC address, and not the MAC addresses from any other
interfaces that may be present in the access points.

You will find the WLAN MAC address on a sticker located under each of the
antenna connectors. Only use the string that is marked as the "WLAN MAC"
or "MAC-ID". The other addresses that may be found are not the WLAN MAC
address but the LAN MAC address.

Connecting point- to-point remote stations by station name

When configuring point-to-point connections, an alternative to the MAC
addresses is to use the station names of the remote stations.

First of all the station name is entered into the point-to-point settings in the
Wireless Routers or Access Points.

LANconfig: 

Wireless LAN 

 General 

 Physical WLAN settings 

Point to point

WEBconfig: 

Setup 

 Interfaces 

 WLAN interpoint settings

For models with multiple WLAN modules, the station name can be
entered separately for each physical WLAN interface.
