  • Page 2: Chapter 1: Introduction

    Chapter 1: Introduction The Wireless Client Bridge is a 2.4GHz IEEE 802.11b-compliant Wireless Bridge/AP/AP Client. The Wireless Client Bridge can operate as a point-to-point or a point-to-multipoint bridge to link networks in different buildings. The Wireless Client Bridge includes cost-effective Power-over- Ethernet (PoE) adapter for supplying power to the Bridge when a power outlet is not easily available.
  • Page 3: Chapter 2 Designing Your Wireless Network

    Chapter 2 Designing Your Wireless Network There are three different modes which you can set up the Wireless Client Bridge in the building-to-building wireless network: AP mode, Point to Point mode, and Point to Multipoint mode. The following describes how the three different modes work: 2.1 AP mode (Regular Access Point Mode) You can configure the Wireless Client Bridge as Access Point through the web-based user Interface configuration.

    Chapter 3: Web-based Configuration 3.1 Connecting to the Web-Based Utility These instructions will help you configure each of your computers to communicate with the Client Bridge. To do this, you will have to configure your PC’s network settings manually. Please make sure the Wireless Client Bridge is connected to your computer with a Cross-Over Cable before this operation.
  • Page 5 3.2.1 System Connected to SSID: Shows the SSID setting in the wireless network. If it displays “non-spec”, then the Bridge is not connected to any wireless network. Using Channel: Shows the channel which the Bridge is using. MAC address of Access Point: shows the MAC address of the WLAN card inside the Access Point.
  • Page 6 mode you need to implement. The SSID (Service Set IDentifier): A unique name setting in the Access Point which the client bridge wants to connect to in the point to point mode or shares among all points in the ad-hoc mode. The SSID must be identical for each point in the wireless network and is case-sensitive.
  • Page 7 3.2.3 Admin IP Information Settings You can change the IP address, Subnet Mask and Default Gateway of the Client Bridge manually by selecting Static in the IP Address Mode. If you select DHCP in the IP Address Mode, the Client Bridge can get TCP/IP parameters from the DHCP server on your network.
  • Page 8 Reboot bridge - After you have made changes through any of the screens, click this button to enable the new settings. Reset to factory defaults - Resets all configuration settings to their default values. Switch to AP – Change the Client Bridge mode to the AP mode. To clear any values you’ve entered on any page, click the Cancel button.

WLAN Secondary firmware: Shows the Secondary firmware of the wireless LAN card inside the AP.
  • Page 10 Regulatory Domain. Basic rates (M-bit/s): The basic transfer rates should be set depending on the speed of your wireless network. You must select 1-2 (Mbps) if you have older 802.11 compliant equipments on your network, such as wireless adapters that support only 1 or 2 Mbps.
  • Page 11 beacon is a packet broadcast by the Access Point to keep the network synchronized. A beacon includes the wireless LAN service area, the IP address, the Broadcast destination addresses, a time stamp, Delivery Traffic Indicator Maps, and the Traffic Indicator Message (TIM). DTIM Interval: This value indicates the interval of the Delivery Traffic Indication Message (DTIM).
  • Page 12 Admin IP Information Settings You can change the IP address, Subnet Mask and Default Gateway of the Access Point manually by selecting Static in the IP Address Mode. Or you can select DHCP in the IP Address Mode. The Access Point can get the TCP/IP parameters from the DHCP server on your network.
  • Page 13 Filtering MAC Address Filtering: If this function is enabled, only the clients whose MAC addresses are listed in these 15 fields can associate with the Access Point. For your convenience, you can cut and paste the addresses from the Associations Web page in to these MAC address fields.
