NETGEAR ProSafe 802.11g Wireless Access Point WG102 Reference Manual
Advanced Configuration 4-5
v1.0, July 2008
A computer on either LAN segment should be able to connect to the Internet or share files and
printers of any other PCs or servers connected to LAN Segment 1 or LAN Segment 2.
Multi-Point Bridge Configuration
Set up a Multi-Point Bridge only if this WG102 Access Point is the “master” for a group of bridge-
mode wireless stations. Then all traffic is sent to this “master,” rather than to the other access
points. In addition, you can enable client associations with this WG102 Access Point.
• You must enter the MAC addresses of the other access points in the fields provided.
• The other bridge-mode wireless stations must be set to Point-to-Point Bridge mode, using the
MAC address of this WG102 Access Point as the Remote MAC Address.
• Use WEP to protect this traffic.
The figure below shows an example of a Multi-Point Bridge mode configuration.
Follow the steps below to set up the Multi-Point Bridge configuration.
1. Configure the Operating Mode of the WG102 Access Points.
• Because it is in the central location, configure WG102 Access Point (AP 1) on LAN
Segment 1 in Point-to-Multi-Point Bridge mode. The MAC addresses of AP2 and AP3 are
required in AP1.
