bridging encryption of each must be set to the appropriate type and key length and must be the same on all.

Because the WAB-1000 has two separate WLAN cards, one for the AP card and one for the bridging card, each bridge can have a WLAN on the 802.11b/g protocol with no loss of efficiency in bridging if you wish.

The following diagram pictures a point-to-multipoint setup, which might be of use where a company's network spans several buildings within a campus-like setting.

Follow the steps of the procedure outlined in the point-to-point bridge section. The chart below describes the basic attributes.
