General Bridge Setup
Wireless bridging is a function that is congured in addition to basic
access point and/or video server setup. If you will be using the 3e-528
solely as a bridge, some of the settings you may have selected for access
point use will not be necessary.
If setting up as a wireless bridge during initial setup, use the LAN
Port directly wired by Ethernet cable to a laptop to set the appropriate
settings. The management screens that you may need to modify, regard-
less of what type of bridging mode you choose, will be in the Wireless
Conguration section of the navigation bar.
The Wireless Conguration — Bridging screen contains wireless
bridging information including the channel number, Tx rate, Tx power,
spanning tree protocol (802.1d) enable/disable, and remote BSSID. This
page is important in setting up your bridge conguration. Spanning Tree
Protocol should be enabled if there is any possibility that a bridging loop
could occur. If you are certain that there is no possibility that a bridging
loop will occur, you should disable Spanning Tree Protocol, because the
bridge will be more efcient (faster) without it. However, if not sure, the
safest solution is to enable Spanning Tree Protocol.
