links in the Wireless LAN -> WLANx -> Bridge Links -> ->/New menu.
With the bridge function, you can, for example, make a wireless connection between a
funkwerk Wx002 and one or more other funkwerk Wx002 devices. The range of these
wireless connections can be several kilometres, depending on the antennas used.

regulatory authority on the Internet at www.regtp.de. The registration form can be found as
a PDF on our website www.funkwerk-ec.com.
Bridges are generally used to interconnect various LAN segments at Layer 2 of the OSI
7-layer model. The special feature of funkwerk bridges is that the distances between these
segments can be several kilometers, without the necessity of a cable for these ranges.

• Wireless clients cannot log in (associate) to this port.
• There is no node table for this port (as there are no clients).
• There is no Access Control List (ACL) for this port.
