Luxul XWO-BAP1 Tech Note

XWO-BAP1/XWO-BKT1
To configure a wireless bridge using two XWO-BAP1's, follow the
directions on this page starting with the "Configure the ROOT
Access Point"
The XWO-BKT1 is preconfigured with a wireless bridge on the 5
Ghz frequency band. To connect an additional XWO-BAP1 to a
pair of bridged XWO-BAP1's, follow only the directions in the
"Configure the REMOTE Access Point" section.

STEP 1: CONFIGURE THE ROOT ACCESS POINT

To get started, identify which XWO-BAP1 will be located at the ROOT location and
which one will be at the REMOTE site. The ROOT access point will generally be the
access point connected to the main part of the network.
Supply power to the ROOT AP only; the REMOTE AP should be left unpowered.
The XWO-BAP1 default IP address will be 192.168.0.10. Your computer will need
to be on the same 192.168.0.X subnet to access the AP.
Enter 192.168.0.10 in your browser and log in to the AP using "admin" for both
User Name and Password.
SECURITY NOTE: You will be required to change the default administrator password.
This will open the Quick Setup page. Decide if you want to setup the Bridge on the
2.4GHz or 5GHz frequency band. In the Wireless Settings for the frequency you
choose, make the following changes:
1. Change Operating Mode from Access Mode to WDS Mode.
2. Enter the desired Network Name (SSID) you want to use for the bridge.
3. Change Security Mode from Open to WPA2-Personal.
4. Enter the desired PassPhrase for this SSID. Any connected clients will
require this Passphrase.
5. Select the desired channel.
6. In the Remote AP MAC Address field, enter a false MAC address in this
field so that the configuration can be saved. Use FF:FF:FF:FF:FF if you
like. You'll return later for final configuration.
7. Select Save and then select Apply
