Point to Point
Each bridge has to know its peer bridge's MAC address. For example, if Bridge A is
to connect with Bridge B, then Bridge B's MAC address must be entered on this
page for Bridge A, and Bridge A's MAC address must be entered here for Bridge B.

Point to Multipoint
If a large wireless network using more than two outdoor bridges is to be constructed,
at least one of the outdoor bridges must be set to Point-to-Multipoint mode. Other
outdoor bridges can be set to either Point-to-Point or Point-to-Multipoint mode. In
this mode, up to six other bridges can be connected. Their MAC addresses must be
entered here.
For example; if Bridge A is the master bridge and needs to connect with Bridge 1 and
Bridge 2, then when setting Bridge A, the MAC addresses of Bridge 1 and Bridge 2
must be entered on the Bridge Mode page (Figure 17). Likewise, Bridge 1 and
Bridge 2 must be set to Point to Point mode, and Bridge A's MAC address must be
entered as the peer bridge MAC address (Figure 16).
