4-6. Using Spanning Tree Function
Configuring the spanning tree function prevents endless looping of packets in a looped communication path.
In an example shown below, a wireless LAN port with low priority is being stopped if no obstacle exists in
wired LAN paths. To construct a network using the spanning tree function, you must choose a switch or a
hub that supports IEEE802.1d spanning tree protocol.
* This section describes how to configure for communication using the spanning tree function,assuming wireless units of AP-1 and AP-
2.

■ Configuring Spanning Tree Function
Set the spanning tree function in access points AP-1 and AP-2.
<To Configure>
(1) Open a setup screen of the access point (see Chapter 2-3. Connection
Check, Opening Setup Screen (P.2-13)) and click Network settings
menu, Advanced settings .
•A "Bridge" screen is displayed.
(2) Select [Valid] radio button in the [Spanning tree function] field.
(3) Click <Apply and restart>.
