8.4.2 Bridge / Repeater Mode

The NWA can act as a wireless network bridge and establish wireless links with
other APs. You need to know the MAC address of the peer device, which also must
be in bridge mode.
The NWA can establish up to five wireless links with other APs.

DESCRIPTION
This section controls the data rates permitted for clients.
For each Rate, select an option from the Configuration list. The options
are:
• Basic (1~11 Mbps only): Clients can always connect to the access
point at this speed.
• Optional: Clients can connect to the access point at this speed, when
permitted to do so by the AP.
• Disabled: Clients cannot connect to the access point at this speed.
Select this to use antenna diversity. Antenna diversity uses multiple
antennas to reduce signal interference.
Select this check box to enable the blue "breathing" LED, also known as
the NWA LED.
Clear the check box to turn this LED off even when the NWA is on and
data is being transmitted and received.
(R)STP detects and breaks network loops and provides backup links
between switches, bridges or routers. It allows a bridge to interact with
other (R)STP -compliant bridges in your network to ensure that only one
path exists between any two stations on the network. Select this to
activate STP on the NWA.
Roaming allows wireless stations to switch from one access point to
another as they move from one coverage area to another. Select this to
enable roaming on the NWA if you have two or more NWAs on the same
subnet.
Note: All APs on the same subnet and the wireless stations must
have the same SSID to allow roaming.
