Assigning the SSID
Use the console port to set the Service Set
Identifier (SSID) that allows the wireless
bridge to communicate with other nodes.The
SSID is a unique, case-sensitive identifier that
is attached to selected packets sent out over
the radio network. Nodes associating to the
bridge must use the same SSID or their
association requests will be ignored.
Determine a unique SSID for the bridges and
make sure that all bridges in the network use
the same SSID.

port, select Configuration from the Main

SSID can have up to 32 characters. All
devices in the same radio network must
use the same SSID. This value is case
sensitive.

IP address to the bridge.

internet addressing options, such as gateway
address, subnet mask, or SNMP
configuration. Refer to the user guide on the
