Insight Instant AirBridge WBC502 User Manual Recommended configuration order We recommend the following configuration order: • If you change an existing configuration for AirBridges in a master-to-satellite setup, we recommend that you first change the satellite and then change the master. After you complete the configurations, the WiFi backhaul connection between the master and satellite is automatically reestablished. Note: If you first change the master and then change the satellite, the WiFi backhaul connection between the master and satellite is no longer operational, and you might not be able to access the satellite. • Similarly, if you change an existing configuration for an AirBridge that functions as a client bridge in an access point-to-client bridge setup, we recommend that you first change the client bridge and then change the access point. (The access point can be an AirBridge or another type of access point.) After you complete the configurations, the WiFi backhaul connection between the access point and client bridge is automatically reestablished. Note: If you first change the access point and then change the client bridge, the WiFi backhaul connection between the access point and client bridge is no longer operational, and you might not be able to access the client bridge. Manage the channel high throughput mode The channel high throughput (HT) mode is also referred to as the channel width. By default, the channel width is 40 MHz for the 5 GHz radio on the AirBridge. The other options are 20 MHz and 80 MHz. The wider the channel, the better the performance (that is, the greater the transmission quality and speed), but the fewer channels are available for use. Before you change the channel width, consider your network conditions and the applications that must be supported. To manage the channel HT mode: 1. Open a web browser from a computer that is connected to the same network as the AirBridge or directly to the AirBridge through an Ethernet cable or WiFi connection. 2. Enter the IP address that is assigned to the AirBridge. The login page displays. Manage Advanced WiFi and 91 Radio Features User Manual

Recommended configuration order
We recommend the following configuration order:
•
If you change an existing configuration for AirBridges in a master-to-satellite setup,
we recommend that you first change the satellite and then change the master. After
you complete the configurations, the WiFi backhaul connection between the master
and satellite is automatically reestablished.
Note:
If you first change the master and then change the satellite, the WiFi backhaul
connection between the master and satellite is no longer operational, and you might
not be able to access the satellite.
•
Similarly, if you change an existing configuration for an AirBridge that functions as
a client bridge in an access point-to-client bridge setup, we recommend that you
first change the client bridge and then change the access point. (The access point
can be an AirBridge or another type of access point.) After you complete the
configurations, the WiFi backhaul connection between the access point and client
bridge is automatically reestablished.
Note:
If you first change the access point and then change the client bridge, the
WiFi backhaul connection between the access point and client bridge is no longer
operational, and you might not be able to access the client bridge.
Manage the channel high throughput mode
The channel high throughput (HT) mode is also referred to as the channel width.
By default, the channel width is 40 MHz for the 5 GHz radio on the AirBridge. The other
options are 20 MHz and 80 MHz.
The wider the channel, the better the performance (that is, the greater the transmission
quality and speed), but the fewer channels are available for use. Before you change the
channel width, consider your network conditions and the applications that must be
supported.
To manage the channel HT mode:
1.
Open a web browser from a computer that is connected to the same network as the
AirBridge or directly to the AirBridge through an Ethernet cable or WiFi connection.
2.
Enter the IP address that is assigned to the AirBridge.
