Network Management 5-53
The maximum number of client bridge connections per radio is 12, with 24 representing the
maximum for dual-radio models.
Once the settings within the Radio Configuration screen are applied (for an initial
deployment), the current number of client bridge connections for this specific radio displays
within the
CBs Connected field. If this is an existing radio within a mesh network, this
value updates in real-time.
5. Select the Client Bridge checkbox to enable the access point radio to initiate client bridge
connections with other mesh network supported access point’s using the same WLAN.
If the Client Bridge checkbox has been selected, use the Mesh Network Name drop-down
menu to select the WLAN (ESS) the client bridge uses to establish a wireless link. The
default setting, is (WLAN1). Symbol recommends creating (and naming) a WLAN specifically
for mesh networking support to differentiate the Mesh supported WLAN from non-Mesh
supported WLANs.
Once the settings within the Radio Configuration screen are applied (for an initial
deployment), the current number of base bridges visible to the radio displays within the
BBs
Visible field, and the number of base bridges currently connected to the radio displays
CAUTION An access point is Base Bridge mode logs out whenever a Client
Bridge associates to the Base Bridge over the LAN connection. This
problem is not experienced over the access point’s WAN connection. If
this situation is experienced, log-in to the access point again.
CAUTION A problem could arise if a Base Bridge’s Indoor channel is not
available on an Outdoor Client Bridge's list of available channels. As
long as an Outdoor Client Bridge has the Indoor Base Bridge channel
in its available list of channels, it can associate to the Base Bridge.
CAUTION An access point in client bridge mode cannot use a WLAN configured
with a Kerberos or EAP 802.1x based security scheme, as these
authentication types secure user credentials not the mesh network
itself.
NOTE Ensure you have verified the radio configuration for both Radio 1 and
Radio 2 before saving the existing settings and exiting the Radio
Configuration screen.
