Table 14.
Field
Enable Wireless Repeating
Description
Enable this if you wish to use either Bridge mode or Repeater mode,
and then select the mode you want for your environment.
• Wireless Repeater. In this mode, the MBR1210 will communicate
only with another Base Station–mode wireless station. You must
enter the MAC address (physical address) of the other Base
Station–mode wireless station in the field provided. WEP /
WPA-PSK [TKIP] can (and should) be used to protect this
communication.
• Wireless Base Station. Select this only if this MBR1210 is the
"master" for a group of Repeater-mode wireless stations. The
other Repeater–mode wireless stations must be set to Wireless
Repeater–mode, using this MBR1210's MAC address. They then
send all traffic to this master, rather than communicate directly with
each other. WEP / WPA-PSK [TKIP] can (and should) be used to
protect this traffic. If this option is selected, you must enter the
MAC addresses of the other access points in the fields provided.
