How to Configure Wireless Multi-Point Bridging
Figure 5-4:
Wireless Bridging
1.
Configure the Operating Mode of the WG602v3 Access Points.
AP1 on LAN Segment 1 in Point-to-Point Bridge mode with the Remote MAC Address of
AP2.
Because it is in the central location, configure AP2 on LAN Segment 2 in Wireless
Multi-Point Bridging mode. Add the MAC addresses of the adjacent Point-to-Point APs
which are configured to communicating with it.
Configure the AP3 on LAN 3 in Point-to-Point Bridge mode with the Remote MAC
Address of AP2.
2.
Verify the following parameters for all access points:
Verify that the LAN network configuration the WG602v3 Access Points are configured to
operate in the same LAN network address range as the LAN devices
Only one AP is configured in Wireless Multi-Point Bridging mode, and all the others are
in Point-to-Point Bridge mode.
All APs must be on the same LAN. That is, all the APs LAN IP address must be in the
same network.
