Chapter 4: Wireless Bridge Configuration
The Tx Pwr Mode defaults to AUTO,
giving the largest range of radio trans-
mission available under ambient condi-
tions.
The wireless bridge's broadcast range
can be limited by setting the Tx Pwr
Mode to Fixed and choosing from 1-5 for
Fixed Pwr Level.
If you want to prevent any radio fre-
quency transmission from the wireless
bridge, set the Tx Pwr Mode to OFF. This
will not turn off RF transmissions from
any associated wireless devices, but they
will not be able to communicate with the
wireless bridge when the Tx Pwr Mode
is off.
Select a range when Rx Pwr Mode is
set to FIXED. Level 1 is the shortest
distance (Level 1=7dBm) and Level 5 is
the longest (Level 5=15dBm)
Set the distance based on the distance
between this bridge and furthest bridge
that is connected to it.

the safest solution is to enable STP.
