Link Aggregation
Link Aggregation combines two physical network links into a single logical link for increased bandwidth.
With it enabled, users can increase the capacity and availability of the communications channel between
devices (both switches and end stations). Also, link aggregation provides load balancing.
The setup procedure is as follows:
Step1. To setup link aggregation, you need a pair of SGT-LD-55-23.
Step2. Open “Basic” in “System”, Enable link aggregation.

Step3. Configure RF1 in SGT-LD-55-23-A to connect to its counterpart in SGT-LD-55-23-B to setup a
Peer-to-Peer Link (please refer to Peer-to-Peer Links chapter). For RF2, also setup a Peer-to-Peer Link
with its remote counterpart. Please note that the channels of these two links must be different to avoid
interference.
Picture below is an example of link aggregation.
Full Duplex Two Channels: Normally, the wireless modules in SGT-LD-55-23 receive and transmit
wireless packets concurrently; if you enable link aggregation and check this box, it only transmits
wireless packets on WLAN but stops receiving. Thus the wireless performance can be enhanced
