stations distribute themselves evenly among the APs to best divide the
traffic between the APs.
• Long Range – Whether long range communication is enabled for the
unit. Enable long range only when units are more than 20 km apart.
When long range is enabled, a unit that has transmitted will allow more
time for an ACK to be received from the other unit. It is not
recommended to enable long range for links under 20 km. Achieving
long range communication depends on RF conditions and configuration.
Enabling the Long Range parameter has no effect on the achievable
range.
• Preferred AP – AP MAC (Ethernet) address of the preferred AP. You
can configure a station to prefer a specific AP unit. When the station
powers up, it will associate with the preferred AP even if the signal from
that AP is lower than the signal from other APs. The station will roam to
another AP only if it stops receiving beacons from the preferred AP.
• Display Current Values – This read-only status screen displays current
WLAN parameters. Press any key to return to the WLAN Parameters
Menu.
3.4.4. Bridging
The Bridging Menu contains the following options:
• LAN to WLAN Bridging Mode (AP Only) – The options are:
• Reject Unknown – Type 0 to allow transmission of packets only to
stations that the AP knows to exist in the Wireless LAN (behind the
Wireless Bridge).
• Forward Unknown – Type 1 to allow transmission of all packets
except those sent to stations that the AP recognizes as being on its
wired Ethernet side. When connecting very large networks, it is
recommended to set this parameter to forward unknown.
• Intelligent Bridging Period (AP Only) – Intelligent bridging enables
smooth roaming of WB-10 units. When intelligent bridging is enabled,
the AP goes into a special bridging mode for a fixed amount of time
whenever a wireless bridge (WB) roams into its area. This mode causes
the AP to forward packets destined for the stations behind the WB-10
even though they are known or were learned from the wired side (except
that no learning of the wired LAN will take place). Afterwards, the AP
