ESTABLISHING WIRELESS ASSOCIATION

After the bridge and software utilities are installed, you can conﬁgure the bridge as follows:

■Launch the bridge conﬁguration. (See “Conﬁguring the Building-to-Building Bridge” on page 18 for details on how to launch the conﬁguration and make changes.)

■For a point-to-point association between two bridges, see “Setting up an Ad Hoc Network” on page 28 and “Optimizing an Ad Hoc Installation” on page 29.

■For a point-to-multipoint association between an access point and one or more bridges, see “Setting up an Access Point Infrastructure Network” on page 30.
