Figure 53. Multi-Point Bridge Mode
To set up the multi-point bridge configuration:
1. Configure the operating mode of the wireless modem routers.
• Because it is in a central location, configure the DGND3700 wireless modem router
(AP 1) on LAN segment 1 in point-to-multi-point bridge mode, and enter the MAC
addresses of AP 2 and AP 3 in the Remote MAC Address 1 and Remote MAC
Address 2 fields.
• Configure the access point (AP 2) on LAN segment 2 in point-to-point bridge mode
with the remote MAC address of the DGND3700 wireless modem router.
• Configure the access point (AP 3) on LAN segment 3 in point-to-point bridge mode
with the remote MAC address of the DGND3700 wireless modem router.
2. Disable the DHCP server on AP 2 and AP 3. AP 1 will then be the DHCP server.
3. Verify the following for all access points:
• The LAN network configuration of the wireless modem router and other access points
are configured to operate in the same LAN network address range as the LAN
devices.
• Only one access point, the DGND3700 wireless modem router in Figure 53,
Multi-Point Bridge Mode, is configured in point-to-multi-point bridge mode; all the
others are in point-to-point bridge mode.
• All APs, including the DGND3700 wireless modem router, must be on the same LAN.
That is, all the access point LAN IP addresses must be in the same network.
