Wireless Bridging and Repeating

The ProSafe 802.11g lets you build large bridged wireless networks.

Examples of wireless bridged configurations are:

•Point-to-Point Bridge. The WG302v2 communicates with another bridge-mode wireless station. See “Point-to-Point Bridge Configuration” on page 4-9.

•Multi-Point Bridge. The WG302v2 is the “master” for a group of bridge-mode wireless stations. Then all traffic is sent to this “master,” rather than to other access points. See “Multi-Point Bridge Configuration” on page 4-10.

•Repeater with Wireless Client Association. Sends all traffic to the remote AP. See “Repeater with Wireless Client Association” on page 4-11.

Note: The Wireless Bridging and Repeating feature uses the default Security Profile to send and receive traffic.

These configurations can be set up from the Advanced Access Point Settings page, shown in Figure 4-4below.
