In the upper right-hand corner of the Wireless Bridge — General
screen there is a button called Monitoring. If you click on this button, a
pop-up window will appear (Wireless Bridge Information). If you select
Enable refresh, you can set the bridge refresh interval from 5 seconds to
30 minutes.
BRIDGING GENERAL SETTINGS OPTIONS
Wireless Mode
802.11b/g Mixed This is the only option available.
Tx Rate
AUTO,
1, 2, 5.5, 11, 6, 9,
12, 18, 24, 36, 48,
54 Mbps
When set to AUTO, the card attempts to select the
optimal rate for the channel. If a xed rate is used,
the card will only transmit at that rate.
Channel No
1 (2.412 GHz)
2 (2.417 GHz)
3 (2.422 GHz)
4 (2.427 GHz)
5 (2.432 GHz)
6 (2.437 GHz)
7 (2.442 GHz)
8 (2.447 GHz)
9 (2.452 GHz)
10 (2.457 GHz)
11 (2.462 GHz)
Sets the channel frequency for the wireless bridge.
Tx Pwr Mode
OFF
FIXED,
AUTO
The Tx Pwr Mode defaults to AUTO, giving the
largest range of radio transmission available under
ambient conditions. The wireless bridge's broad-
cast range can be limited by setting the Tx Pwr
Mode to Fixed and choosing from 1-8 for Fixed
Pwr Level. If you want to prevent any radio fre-
quency transmission from the wireless bridge, set
the Tx Pwr Mode to OFF. This will not turn off RF
transmissions from any associated wireless devices
(only turns off bridge), but they will not be able to
communicate with the wireless bridge when the
Tx Pwr Mode is off.
Fixed Pwr
Level
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 Select a range when Tx Pwr Mode is set to FIXED.
Level 1 is the shortest distance (Level 1=7dBm)
and Level 8 is the longest (Level 8=15dBm)
Spanning Tree
Protocol (STP)
Enable/Disable Enable STP if there is any possibility that a bridg-
ing loop could occur. If you are certain that there
is no possibility that a bridging loop will occur,
then disable STP. The bridge will be more efcient
(faster) without it. If you are not sure, the safest
solution is to enable STP.
