Cooper Bussmann Wireless Ethernet & Device Server | |
Network Settings Webpage Fields |
|
Operating Mode | Used to select Access Point (Infrastructure), Client (Infrastructure). By default this is set to Client. |
Device Mode | Used to select Bridge or Router mode. By default this is set to Bridge. |
Bridge STP | Checking this box enables Spanning Tree protocol in bridged networks. See to section |
| 3.10 “Spanning Tree Algorithm / Redundancy” for more details |
Bridge Priority | This is the priority associated with the Spanning tree protocol. Use lower numbers to move this station |
| towards the root of the Spanning Tree, and use higher number here to move the station towards the |
| leaves of the tree. |
Default Gateway | This is the address that the device will use to forward messages to remote hosts that are not connected |
| to any of the local bridged network (Ethernet or Wireless). This is only required if the wired LAN has a |
| Gateway unit which connects to devices beyond the LAN - for example, Internet access. If there is no |
| Gateway on the LAN, set to the same address as the Access Point - that is, the “Ethernet IP Address” |
| below. Refer to section 3.13 “ Routing Rules” for more information. |
Obtain IP Address Automatically | Checking this item enables DHCP client on the |
| a DHCP server which assigns the IP Address automatically. For more information, refer to section 3.8 |
| “DHCP Server Configuration”, Default is unchecked. |

| characters in length. Select a text string which identifies your system. |
Desired BSSID | To force a client/station to always connect to the same Access Point enter the MAC address of that |
| Access Point in the Desired BSSID field (Note that the ESSID of the Access Point must also match the |
| configured ESSID of the client). |
Radio Encryption | Select the desired radio Encryption level, press “Save Changes” button and then select “Configure on |
