How to Configure Multi-Point Wireless Bridging
Figure 5-5: Multi-Point bridging
1.
Configure the Operating Mode of the WG102 Access Points.
– WG102 (AP1) on LAN Segment 1 in Point-to-Point Bridge mode with the Remote MAC
Address of AP2.
– Because it is in the central location, configure WG102 (AP2) on LAN Segment 2 in
Point-to-Multi-Point Bridge mode. The MAC addresses of the adjacent APs are required
in AP2.
– Configure the WG102 (AP3) on LAN 3 in Point-to-Point Bridge mode with the Remote
MAC Address of AP2.
2. Verify the following parameters for all access points:
• Verify that the LAN network configuration the WG102 Access Points are configured to
operate in the same LAN network address range as the LAN devices
• Only one AP is configured in Point-to-Multi-Point Bridge mode, and all the others are in
Point-to-Point Bridge mode.
• All APs must be on the same LAN. That is, all the APs LAN IP address must be in the
same network.
• If using DHCP, all WG102 Access Points should be set to “Obtain an IP address
automatically (DHCP Client)” in the IP Address Source portion of the Basic IP Settings
menu.
