Figure 53. Multi-point bridge mode
To set up the multi-point bridge configuration:
1. Configure the operating mode of the wireless modem routers.
•
Because it is in a central location, configure the DGND3700 wireless modem router
(AP 1)
on LAN segment 1 in point-to-multi-point bridge mode, and enter the MAC
addresses of AP 2 a
nd AP 3 in the Remote MAC Address 1 and Remote MAC
Address 2 fields.
• Config
ure the access point (AP 2) on LAN segment 2
in point-to-point bridge mode
with the remote MAC address of the DGND3700 wireless modem router.
• Configure the access point (AP 3) on LAN segment 3
in point-to-point bridge mode
with the remote MAC address of the DGND3700 wireless modem router.
2. Disable the
DHCP server on AP 2 and AP 3. AP 1 will then be the DHCP server.
3. Verify the following for all access points:
•
The LAN network configuration of the wireless modem router
and other access points
are configured to operate in the same LAN network address range as the LAN
devices.
• Only one access point, the DGND3700 wireless modem router in the preceding
f
igure, is configured in point-to-multi-point bridge mode; all the others are in
point-to-point bridge mode.
• All APs, includ
ing th
e DGND3700 wireless modem router, have to be on the same
LAN. That is, all the access point LAN IP addresses have to be in the same network.
• If you are using DHCP
, for all access points, in the Basic Settings screen, in the
Internet IP Address section, the Get Dynamically from ISP check box should be
selected.
