4.3 Wireless Bridge mode
The Wireless Bridge mode help to make the two Ethernet networks connected without any
wire. With two WAP-4000As in this mode, the two LANs in distance can communicate to each
other. This could be deployed if the networks are hard to make the wire in between. Please be
noted, key in the LAN MAC address to make the WAP-4000A communicate with a specific
remote Access Point, you can find the MAC address either from the utility or from the label
under the Access Point. It is suggested to fix the transmission rate when WAP-4000As are
configured in bridge mode.
The omni antenna is with 17dBm transmitting power, if you would like to make longer distance
that the default antenna cannot reach, consult your local dealer for more about how to extend
your distance.

Note: Please do consult your local dealer about the external or directional antenna you would
like to install and get the connection. Improper outdoor antenna installation could damage the
Access Point or get injured or get killed in some condition like thunders or strong winds.
4.4 Multiple Bridge mode
For multiple LANs, the WAP-4000A also helps to make the connections. With this mode, three
or more LANs can bridge to each other. All WAP-4000As in this mode must be within the
operating range of one another.
