Configuring the Wireless Bridge
Use the Bridge’s Console Port and the Console System to
configure the unit to communicate with the rest of your net-
work. The Console System consists of a series of menus
from which you can change and set Bridge parameters to
conform with your network.
Using the Console Port
You can access the Console Port directly by connecting a
straight through serial cable between the Bridge’s console
(serial) port and a terminal or PC running a terminal emula-
tion program. When you installed the Bridge hardware, you
connected a serial cable to this port and to a terminal or PC.
