4-4 Advanced Configuration
v1.0, July 2008
Point-to-Point Bridge Configuration
In Point-to-Point Bridge mode, the WG102 Access Point communicates with another bridge-mode
wireless station. In addition, you can enable client associations with this WG102 Access Point.
You must enter the MAC address of the other bridge-mode wireless station in the field provided.
Use WEP to protect this communication. The figure below shows an example of Point-to-Point
Bridge mode.
Follow the steps below to set up a Point-to-Point Bridge configuration.
1. Configure the WG102 Access Point (AP1) on LAN Segment 1 in Point-to-Point Bridge mode.
2. Configure the other access point (AP2) on LAN Segment 2 in Point-to-Point Bridge mode.
AP 1 must have AP 2’s MAC address in its Remote MAC Address field and AP 2 must have
AP 1’s MAC address in its Remote MAC Address field.
3. Configure and verify the following for both access points:
• Verify the LAN network configuration of the access points. Both must be configured to
operate in the same LAN network address range as the LAN devices
• Both APs must use the same ESSID, Channel, authentication mode, if any, and security
settings if security is in use.
4. Verify connectivity across the LAN 1 and LAN 2.
