• IP Address—Use this setting to assign or change the bridge's IP address. If DHCP is
enabled for your network, leave this field blank.
If the bridge's IP address changes while you are configuring the bridge using the web-browser
Note
interface or a Telnet session over the wired LAN, you lose your connection to the bridge. If
you lose your connection, reconnect to the bridge using its new IP address. Follow the steps
in the "Resetting the Bridge to Default Settings" section on page 7 if you need to start over.
• IP Subnet Mask—Enter the IP subnet mask provided by your network administrator so
the IP address can be recognized on the LAN. If DHCP is enabled, leave this field blank.
• Default Gateway—Enter the default gateway IP address provided by your network
administrator. If DHCP is enabled, leave this field blank.
• SNMP Community—If your network is using SNMP, enter the SNMP Community name
provided by your network administrator and select the attributes of the SNMP data (also
provided by your network administrator).
• Read-Only—indicates the bridge allows only SNMP read accesses. Using this option, an
SNMP user cannot change bridge configuration settings.
• Read-Write—indicates the bridge allows SNMP read and write accesses. This setting
allows an SNMP user to change the bridge configuration.
• Radio Service Set ID (SSID)—Enter the case-sensitive SSID (32 alphanumeric characters
maximum) provided by your network administrator. The SSID is a unique identifier that
remote bridges use to associate with your bridge.
• Broadcast SSID in Beacon—Use this setting to allow devices that do not specify an SSID
to associate with the bridge.
Yes—This is the default setting; it allows a remote bridge that does not specify an
–
SSID to associate with the bridge.
No—Remote bridges must specify an SSID to associate with the bridge. With No
–
selected, the SSID used by the remote bridge must match exactly the bridge's SSID.
• Role in Radio Network—Click on the check box and button that describes the role of the
bridge on your network.
• Install Mode—Activates the bridge install and alignment mode. Specifies that the bridge
automatically determines the network role. If the bridge is able to associate to another
root bridge within 60 seconds, the bridge assumes a non-root bridge role. If the bridge is
unable to associate with another root bridge within 60 seconds, the bridge assumes a root
bridge role.
You can also pre-configure the bridge into root or non-root modes and avoid the 60
seconds automatic detection phase.
