After initial implementation of the wireless components of the network, additional Extension
Points can be added, although those additions should be planned as carefully as the initial
installation.
Exercise caution when removing an Extension Point from an operational network. Units you
remove may carry active backbone traffic from other cells, and if valid fallback Masters are
not configured and available, that traffic will be disrupted.
One Hop
The single hop architecture is the simplest to plan and install.
In this topology, if the 7510/752x/753x Access Point is set to default Domain, Channel,
Subchannel, and Security ID, the Extension Point may need no configuration. It will turn on,
search for the Master on Domain 0, synchronize with it, and create the BSA for its wireless
clients.
The next figure illustrates the default Domain, Channel and Station Type settings in which the
Extension Point will need no configuration. The 7510/752x/753x Access Point is a Master
configured on Domain 0, Channel 1. The Backbone radio on the Extension Point is config-
ured (by default) as a Station on Domain 0 and synchronizes with this 7510/752x/753x
Access Point. The BSA radio creates a link for the wireless clients as a Master on Domain
0, using a different Channel than that of the 7510/752x/753x Access Point.
