How to Configure Multi-Point Wireless BridgingFigure 5-10: Multi-Point bridging
1. Configure the Operating Mode of the ME103 Access Points.
– ME103 (AP1) on LAN Segment 1 in Point-to-Point Bridge mode with the Remote MAC
Address of AP2.
– Because it is in the central location, configure ME103 (AP2) on LAN Segment 2 in
Point-to-Multi-Point Bridge mode. No MAC address is required because it will respond to
Point-to-Point APs which are configured communicating to it.
– Configure the ME103 (AP3) on LAN 3 in Point-to-Point Bridge mode with the Remote
MAC Address of AP2.
2. Verify the following parameters for all access points:
• Verify that the LAN network configuration the ME103 Access Points are configured to
operate in the same LAN network address range as the LAN devices
• Only one AP is configured in Point-to-Multi-Point Bridge mode, and all the others are in
Point-to-Point Bridge mode.
