must be entered on this page for Bridge A, and Bridge As MAC address must be entered here for
Bridge B.
Point to Multipoint: This is for connecting more than two remote sites. At least one of the
WAP-5100 must be set to Point-to-Multipoint mode in such network topology. Other WAP-5100 can
be set to either Point-to-Point or Point-to-Multipoint mode. In this mode, up to six other bridges can
be connected. Their MAC addresses must be entered here.
For example; if Bridge A is the master bridge and needs to connect with Bridge 1 and Bridge 2, then
when setting Bridge A, the MAC addresses of Bridge 1 and Bridge 2 must be entered on the Bridge
Mode page. Likewise, Bridge 1 and Bridge 2 must be set to Point to Point mode, and Bridge As
MAC address must be entered as the peer bridge MAC address.
