ProSafe Dual Band Wireless Access Point WNDAP330 Reference Manual • WNDAP330 (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 WNDAP330 (AP2) on LAN Segment 2 in Point-to-Multi-Point Bridge mode. The MAC addresses of the adjacent APs are required in AP2. • Configure the WNDAP330 (AP3) on LAN 3 in Point-to-Point Bridge mode with the Remote MAC Address of AP2. 3. Verify the following parameters for all access points: • Verify that the LAN network configuration the WNDAP330 Wireless Access Points are configured to operate in the same LAN network address range as the LAN devices • Only one access point is configured in Point-to-Multi-Point Bridge mode, and all the others are in Point-to-Point Bridge mode. • All access points must be on the same LAN. That is, all the APs LAN IP address must be in the same network. • If using DHCP, all WNDAP330 Wireless Access Points should be set to "Obtain an IP address automatically (DHCP Client)" in the IP Address Source portion of the Basic IP Settings menu. • All WNDAP330 Wireless Access Points use the same SSID, Channel, authentication mode, if any, and encryption in use. • All Point-to-Point Access Points must have the AP2 MAC address in its Remote AP MAC address field. 4. Verify connectivity across the LANs. • A computer on any LAN segment should be able to connect to the Internet or share files and printers with any other PCs or servers connected to any of the three LAN segments. • Wireless stations will be able to connect to the WNDAP330 Wireless Access Points in the illustration above. If you require wireless stations to access any LAN segment, you can add additional WNDAP330 Wireless Access Points configured in Wireless Access Point mode to any LAN segment. 5. Click Apply to save your settings. Note: You can extend this multi-point bridging by adding additional WNDAP330s configured in Point-to-Point mode for each additional LAN segment. Furthermore, you can extend the range of the wireless network with NETGEAR wireless antenna accessories. Advanced Configuration v1.0, May 2008 4-17

ProSafe Dual Band Wireless Access Point WNDAP330 Reference Manual
Advanced Configuration
4-17
v1.0, May 2008
WNDAP330 (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 WNDAP330 (AP2) on LAN Segment 2 in
Point-to-Multi-Point Bridge mode. The MAC addresses of the adjacent APs are required
in AP2.
Configure the WNDAP330 (AP3) on LAN 3 in Point-to-Point Bridge mode with the
Remote MAC Address of AP2.
3.
Verify the following parameters for all access points:
Verify that the LAN network configuration the WNDAP330 Wireless Access Points are
configured to operate in the same LAN network address range as the LAN devices
Only one access point is configured in Point-to-Multi-Point Bridge mode, and all the
others are in Point-to-Point Bridge mode.
All access points must be on the same LAN. That is, all the APs LAN IP address must be
in the same network.
If using DHCP, all WNDAP330 Wireless Access Points should be set to “Obtain an IP
address automatically (DHCP Client)” in the IP Address Source portion of the Basic IP
Settings menu.
All WNDAP330 Wireless Access Points use the same SSID, Channel, authentication
mode, if any, and encryption in use.
All Point-to-Point Access Points must have the AP2 MAC address in its Remote AP MAC
address field.
4.
Verify connectivity across the LANs.
A computer on any LAN segment should be able to connect to the Internet or share files
and printers with any other PCs or servers connected to any of the three LAN segments.
Wireless stations will be able to connect to the WNDAP330 Wireless Access Points in the
illustration above. If you require wireless stations to access any LAN segment, you can
add additional WNDAP330 Wireless Access Points configured in Wireless Access Point
mode to any LAN segment.
5.
Click
Apply
to save your settings.
Note:
You can extend this multi-point bridging by adding additional WNDAP330s
configured in Point-to-Point mode for each additional LAN segment. Furthermore,
you can extend the range of the wireless network with NETGEAR wireless antenna
accessories.
