Using a wireless LAN administrator station allows you to configure Base
Stations:
! Directly by means of a wireless point-to-point connection as pictured in
Figure 3-7 on page 3-13, or
! Indirectly by means of a wireless point-to-point connection with another
Base Station that provides access to the “target” Base Station via a network
backbone as pictured in Figure 3-8.
In the same manner in which wired networks require you to verify that all
cables are connected properly to establish connection, wireless networks
require you to verify that:
" the LAN administrator station is within range of the “target” Base
Station, and
" the wireless network interface setup matches the parameter values
of the Base Station(s).
When using the configuration setup as pictured in Figure 3-7 on page 3-13, the
wireless network interface of the LAN administrator station should be
configured to match the settings of the “target” Base Station.
Figure 3-8: Wireless Access via an Indirect Connection
When looking at the scenario pictured in Figure 3-8, the wireless network
interface of the LAN administrator station should be configured to match the
settings of Base Station B.
! The scenario pictured in Figure 3-7 on page 3-13 will be most convenient
when configuring multiple “out-of-the-box” Base Stations sequentially.
! The scenario pictured in Figure 3-8 will be most efficient when adding new
Base Stations to an existing network or when you are not within range of
the “target” Base Station.
In both scenarios the Base Stations are identified by means of their unique IP
address.
