signed the same IP address.
To always assign a static IP address to a specific DHCP client:
1.
Specify the MAC address of the DHCP client and the IP address to be assigned to it. Then, give
a description for this mapping.
2.
Select the corresponding
Enabled
check box.
3.5. Configuring IEEE 802.11g-Related Settings
3.5.1. Communication
An AP interface needs the Basic communication settings, and a LAN-to-LAN bridge interface needs
the Basic communication settings and the Bridge Links settings.
3.5.1.1. Basic
Basic IEEE 802.11g-related communication settings include
Policy
(RF type),
Regulatory domain
,
Channel number
,
Network name (SSID)
,
Data rate
, and
Transmit power
.
Fig. 42. Basic IEEE 802.11g communication settings.
The RF type (
Policy
) of the WLAN interface can be configured to work in IEEE 802.11b only (
b
Only
), IEEE 802.11g only (
g Only
), or mixed mode (
Mixed
—802.11g and 802.11b simultaneously).
The number of available RF channels depends on local regulations; therefore you have to choose an
appropriate regulatory domain to comply with local regulations.
For two wireless devices to com-
municate with each other, they must be set to identical SSID (Service Set IDentifier).
If there is RF interference, you may want to reduce the
Data rate
for more reliable wireless transmis-
sion. In most cases, leave the setting to
Auto
.
The transmit power of the RF module of the DRBAP can be adjusted so that the RF coverage of the
DRBAP can be changed.
3.5.1.2. Bridge Links
A bridge link is an IEEE 802.11 WDS (Wireless Distribution System) link. A LAN-to-LAN bridge
interface is equipped with
6
WDS links so it can be connected to at most 6 other wireless bridges.
