Wireless Bridging and Repeating
The ProSafe 802.11g lets you build large bridged wireless networks.
Examples of wireless bridged configurations are:
Point-to-Point Bridge. The WG302v2 communicates with another bridge-mode wireless
station. See “Point-to-Point Bridge Configuration” on page 4-9.
Multi-Point Bridge. The WG302v2 is the “master” for a group of bridge-mode wireless
stations. Then all traffic is sent to this “master,” rather than to other access points. See
“Multi-Point Bridge Configuration” on page 4-10.
Repeater with Wireless Client Association. Sends all traffic to the remote AP. See “Repeater
with Wireless Client Association” on page 4-11.
These configurations can be set up from the Advanced Access Point Settings page, shown in
Figure 4-4 below.
Note: The Wireless Bridging and Repeating feature uses the default Security Profile to
send and receive traffic.
