Wireless LAN Access Point Configuration

Channel 1-13 (Europe)

There are 14 channels available.

You should assign Channel Number in “AP mode”, “Station-Ad Hoc

mode”, “AP Bridge-Point to Point mode”, “AP Bridge-Point to Multi-Point

mode” and “AP Bridge-WDS mode”, “Universal Repeater mode”.

MAC Address

If you want to bridge more than one wired Ethernet networks together

with wireless LAN, you have to set this access point to “AP Bridge-Point

to Point mode”, “AP Bridge-Point to Multi-Point mode” or “AP Bridge-

WDS mode”. You have to enter the MAC addresses of other access

points that join the bridging work.

WLAN BSSID

A BSSID is the MAC address of an access point (AP) in an infrastructure

mode BSS. If WLAN BSSID is left at the factory default (000000000000),

the station (client) will connect to any Access Point (AP) with the

specified ESSID. If there is more than one AP with the same ESSID, a

station (client) will connect to the AP with the strongest signal. If you want

to force a station to connect to a specific AP, then set the WLAN BSSID

to the MAC address of the desired AP.

WLAN MAC

In “Station-Ad Hoc mode”, “Station-Infrastructure mode” and “Universal

Repeater mode”, this device needs a WLAN MAC address to act as a

station to connect to another peer or Access Point (AP). If WLAN MAC =

000000000000 (factory default), then the device uses the factory

assigned MAC address. If you set the WLAN MAC to any other number,

the device will use the MAC address you have specified. You also can

click “Clone MAC” button to let this device copy the MAC address of the

PC you are using to configure this device. If the device is in one of the 3

modes above, and if the wired interface is connected to an Ethernet

interface on a router, then it is important to set the WLAN MAC to be

identical to the MAC address of the router interface.

Auto MAC Clone

You can click on this option to let this device copy the MAC address of

the PC you are using to configure this device automatically. When

clicking on this option, the “Clone MAC” button will be grayed.

Root AP SSID

In “Universal Repeater mode”, this device can act as a station to connect

to a Root AP. You should assign the SSID of the Root AP here.

Set Security

In “AP Bridge-Point to Point mode”, ““AP Bridge-Point to Multi-Point

mode” and “AP Bridge-WDS mode”, you can click “Set Security” to add

encryption for the communication between the bridged access points.
