The bridge does not have a console port. You may
easily configure and manage the bridge remotely via its
standard RJ-45 Ethernet network interface. Configure
the bridge using the method described in this manual.
No, the bridge is a transparent bridge, NOT an access
point.
In the US, wireless LAN radios transmit and receive on
one of 11 channels in the 2.4-GHz frequency band. This
is a public frequency, and is unlicensed by the FCC.
Enable Wired Equivalency Protocol (WEP) to encrypt
the payload of packets sent across a radio link.
The typical range depends on many factors, including
the following: data rate (bandwidth) desired, antenna
type, antenna cable length, and device receiving the
transmission. In an outdoor antenna installation, range
can be up to 1.5 km or more.
The bridge's Ethernet port supports 10 Mbps over a
10Base-T RJ-45 connector (half-duplex only).
Interference can come from a number of sources,
including 2.4-GHz cordless phones, improperly
shielded microwave ovens, and wireless equipment
manufactured by other companies. Police radar,
electrical motors, and moving metal parts of machinery
can cause interference too.
