WAPs must be on the same IP subnet as the access point. Also, data from
wireless end devices should not go through more than three wireless hops
before it gets to an access point on the primary LAN.
The following procedure explains how to install a simple wireless network
with a WAP and roaming end devices. If you want the end devices to only
be able to communicate with the WAP (not directly with the access point),
configure one of the WAP's master radio service sets and the end device
radios with a unique SSID.
To install a simple wireless network with a WAP and roaming end devices
1 Follow the instructions for installing a simple wireless network on page
10.
2 Configure the LAN ID. For help, see "Configuring the Spanning Tree
Parameters" on page 105.
3 (802.11g and 802.11b) Configure the station radio in the WAP to
communicate with one of the master radio service sets in the access
point:
a From the main menu, click the link corresponding to the station
radio. The radio screen appears.
b In the Primary service set Node Type field, choose Station.
c In the Primary service set SSID (Network Name) field, type the
SSID that matches the SSID of the access point radio service set (Step
1). In this example, the SSID is Manufacturing.
d Click Submit Changes to save your changes.
4 Configure a WAP master radio service set to communicate with the end
device radios.
If you want the end devices to only be able to communicate with the
WAP (not directly with the access point), you must configure the WAP
master radio service set and the end device radios with a unique SSID.
