Note: For information about optional advanced settings that display on the page,
such as changing the Auto RF mode (so that you can set a specific transmission
power) and bit rate, see Manage Advanced WiFi and Radio Features on page 77.
We recommend that you do not change these advanced settings while you perform
the current task.
6. Click the AP Detection Scan button.
A new page opens. After the AirBridge completes its scan for neighboring access
points, the page displays (for each detected access point) the information that is
described in the following table.
Setting Description
BSSID The basic service set ID (BSSID) in the format of a MAC address.
This is usually the MAC address of the radio on the AirBridge master or access point that
broadcasts the SSID.
SSID The service set ID (SSID), which is the name for the WiFi network with which the AirBridge
satellite, client bridge, or access point can connect.
Channel The radio channel on which the SSID is being broadcast.
Signal Level The strength of the WiFi signal that is being broadcast, expressed in –dBm.
A lower value means a stronger signal. For example, –40 dBm indicates a stronger signal
than –60 dBm.
Security The type of security that is configured for the SSID.
Mode The operation mode of the detected access point.
7. Select the access point with which you want the client bridge to associate by clicking
the row for the access point.
The page changes.
8. To select the BSSID of the selected access point as the preferred BSSID, select the
check box.
After you select the BSSID, in most situations, you do not need to change the detected
SSID, security mode, and encryption.
9. If the security mode is WPA2-PSK, in the Passphrase field, enter the passphrase that
is required to connect to the SSID.
If the type of security is WPA2-Enterprise, see Set up WPA2-Enterprise security on
a satellite or client bridge on page 71.
