Airaya – Fast and affordable outdoor wireless bridges
WirelessGRID System Setup Tab
The WirelessGRID System Setup screen is used to add or delete remote
Bridge MAC addresses from a bridge authorization list. Each bridge
contains a WirelessGRID authentication list, and all bridges require
reciprocal entries to communicate.
The Add New Bridge to WirelessGRID section of the screen contains the following
entries:
Quick Add Instructions – Step-by-step instructions to set up and add a
new bridge to a WirelessGRID network
Bridge MAC Address – The MAC address of a remote bridge you want
authorized to connect to the bridge you are working with. You must enter
this information in the proper format. Base stations can accept up to 32
entries. Backhaul/Point-point bridges and subscriber units can accept 2
entries.
Location Identifier – A text description of the bridge you are adding
(e.g. Building 12). Note: This feature is not enabled at this time.
