3e–525C–2 Wireless Access Point
The following sequence walks you through the setup of bridge 1.
Bridge 2 would duplicate this procedure, with the BSSID of bridge 2 be-
ing the MAC address of bridge 1 and vice versa.
Navigate to the Wireless Bridge — General screen.
In the first section: General, you will see the MAC Address of the
bridging card. This is used as the BSSID on other 3e–525C–2s that will be
communicatingwith this one.
Wireless Mode is set to 802.11a. Set Basic and Supported Rates.
Channel Number must be set the same for each bridge to communicate.
TX Pwr Mode can be left on Auto unless the power needs to be regulated.
Set Spanning Tree Protocol to Enable unless you are sure that there is no
chance of a loop.
Click Apply to accept your changes but remain on this screen.
Next is Bridging Mode. Select either manual or auto bridging. If you
choose manual then you will have to manually add the BSSID of the
remote bridge. The BSSID corresponds to that bridge's MAC address.
In entering the BSSID, enter only hexadecimal numbers, no colons.
Data entry is not case sensitive. You may also enter a note that defines
the location of the remote bridge. Then click Add to accept. The remote
bridge's BSSID will now appear at the bottom of the page. If, at some
time you wish to delete the entry, simply click the check box next to it and
confirm by clicking Delete.
Signal strength LED MAC allows you to set the number of one of the
Remote APs which will be listed at the bottom of the screen once the sys-
tem is operational as the guiding port that you wish to have display in the
WLANSS LED on the front of the 3e–525C–2 as a signal. If you don't wish
to display any connection signal, simply leave this set at Not Assigned.
Then click Apply to accept.
