Step 7. Checking AP-to-AP Bridging

Execute the Ping command to AP-2 from PC connected to AP-1 and verify its response.
* AP-to-AP bridging is not available at the channel where DFS function is provided.
* All access points that use AP-to-AP bridging must be configured to use the same channel.
* Up to 6 units can communicate with an access point at the same time.
* To use encryption, the same encryption key must be configured for the access points.
* Only "WEP RC4" and "OCB AES" can be used as encryption for AP-to-AP bridging.
* BSSID of respective access point must be registered for those that use AP-to-AP bridging.
In the figure above, [BSSID] of [B] must be registered to [A] and [BSSID] of [A] to [B].
* Configuring the same channel and SSID allows detection of BSSID of the others, making registration easier.
* To use roaming, the same SSID must be configured for the access points (A and B).
* AP-to-AP bridging requires the same setup of Super AG (Yes or No).
* AP-to-AP bridging is not available at the channel where DFS function is provided.
(1) Execute a ping command from your PC at command prompt.
Example:Ping 192.168.0.2 (Partner's IP address)
C:¥>ping 192.168.0.2
Pinging 192.168.0.2 with 32 bytes of data:
Reply from 192.168.0.2: bytes=32 time<1ms TTL=250
* If no response is returned, follow the steps below:
• Execute "arp -d" command.
• Verify if security settings are the same.
