Advanced Configuration
5-9
November 2005
Multi-Point Bridge
Select this only if this WG102 is the “master” for a group of bridge-mode wireless
stations. Then all traffic is sent to this “master,” rather than directly among each other.
In addition, you have the option of enabling client associations with this WG102.
For multi-point bridge mode, you must enter the MAC addresses of the other access points
in the fields provided.
The other bridge-mode wireless stations must be set to Point-to-Point Bridge mode, using
the MAC address of this WG102 as the Remote MAC Address.
Use WEP to protect this traffic.
Repeater with Wireless Client Association
Selected repeater mode to send all traffic to the remote AP.
For repeater mode, you must enter the MAC address of the remote “parent” access point,
and optionally enter the address of the “child” access point.
In repeater mode, you
do not
have the option of disabling client associations with this
WG102.
In repeater mode, you cannot configure a sequence of parent/child APs; you are limited to
only one parent/child AP pair.
These features are discussed below.
