Setup Point-to-Point & Point-to-
MultiPoint Connection
You can implement Point-to-Point connection by simply setting one
device as RootAP in Access Point mode and setting the other device
as client in Transparent Client mode.
By default the device is in Access Point mode. To enable RootAP simply
click on the radio button for RootAP to enable the function.
Unlike most client devices which use only SSID for connection,
Transparent Client has option to lock the connection using BSSID or
MAC address of the AP. This is important feature for point to point
connection.
Unlike other point to point devices which require both device to enter
the MAC address of opposite device in setup before they can make
the connection, RootAP and Transparent Client requires only the AP to
flag as RootAP and have the client decide whether it needs to use
BSSID (MAC address) for permanent connection with AP or use SSID for
a more flexible connection with AP.
Because of this flexibility, creating point to point and multi-point with
RootAP is simply add more Transparent Client connection with AP.
Thus setting up point to point and multi-point is greatly simplified with no
down time to AP or the need to go to each site to do the setup.
Follow these steps to setup RootAP
