Conﬁguring the Wireless Bridge

To conﬁgure the Aironet Wireless Bridge so it will

communicate with other nodes or repeaters, use the

Console Port to set the SSID parameter.

If you choose to set an IP address, remote access via telnet

or an HTML browser will be possible.

SSID Identiﬁer (SSID)

The SSID is a unique identiﬁer that is attached to

selected packets sent out over the radio network. This

functions as a password to join the radio network.

Nodes associating to the Bridge must use the same

identiﬁer in their conﬁgurations, or their association

requests will be ignored.

To deﬁne an SSID:

1. Select Conﬁguration from the Main Menu.

2. Select Radio from the Conﬁguration Menu.

3. Select SSID.

4. Enter a value for the SSID option. You may use up

to 32 characters. All devices in the same radio

network must use the same SSID.
