Set Up the Base Station
The wireless repeating function works only in hub and spoke mode. The units cannot be
daisy-chained. You have to know the wireless settings for both units. You have to know the
MAC address of the remote unit. First, set up the base station, and then set up the repeater.
To set up the base station:
1. Set up both units with the same wireless settings (SSID, mode, channel, and security).
The wireless security option has to be set to None or WEP.
2. Select ADVANCED > Advanced Setup > Wireless Repeating Function to display the
Wireless Repeating Function screen.
3. Depending on the frequency you want to use, select the Enable Wireless Repeating
Function check box and select the Wireless Base Station radio button.
4. Enter the MAC address for one or more repeater units.
5. Click Apply to save your changes.
Set Up a Repeater Unit
Use a wired Ethernet connection to set up the repeater unit to avoid conflicts with the
wireless connection to the base station.
