Configuring the Bridge for Infrastructure mode
Infrastructure mode prepares the Bridge for use with an Access Point.
ƒ
Assigning a Service Set Identifier (SSID) to the Bridge
To allow a connection between the Bridge and an Access Point, the SSID of the two
devices must be identical.
Note:
If the Bridge is configured with an SSID of “any”, it will connect to the Access
Point with the best signal, so long as all security settings match.
ƒ Enabling Wireless Security (optional)
Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) and WiFi Protected Access (WPA) are security
protocols for wireless local area networks (WLANs), defined in the 802.11 standard.
ƒ Choosing Static or DHCP Assignment of IP Address
If DHCP is used, a client name can be assigned to allow identification of specific bridges
on a network.
ƒ Assigning user discovery name
The user discovery name identifies the Bridge in Evaluation and Management Utilities (if
Enable UDAP is checked in the Services Page).
