
To set up the multi-point bridge configuration:
1. Configure the operating mode of the wireless modem routers.
• Because it is in a central location, configure the DGND3700 wireless modem router
(AP 1) on LAN segment 1 in point-to-multi-point bridge mode, and enter the MAC
addresses of AP 2 and AP 3 in the Remote MAC Address 1 and Remote MAC
Address 2 fields.
• Configure the access point (AP 2) on LAN segment 2 in point-to-point bridge mode
with the remote MAC address of the DGND3700 wireless modem router.
• Configure the access point (AP 3) on LAN segment 3 in point-to-point bridge mode
with the remote MAC address of the DGND3700 wireless modem router.
2. Disable the DHCP server on AP 2 and AP 3. AP 1 will then be the DHCP server.
3. Verify the following for all access points:
• The LAN network configuration of the wireless modem router and other access points
are configured to operate in the same LAN network address range as the LAN
devices.
• Only one access point, the DGND3700 wireless modem router in the preceding
figure, is configured in point-to-multi-point bridge mode; all the others are in
point-to-point bridge mode.
• All APs, including the DGND3700 wireless modem router, have to be on the same
LAN. That is, all the access point LAN IP addresses have to be in the same network.
• If you are using DHCP, for all access points, in the Basic Settings screen, in the
Internet IP Address section, the Get Dynamically from ISP check box should be
selected.
