Airaya – Fast and affordable outdoor wireless bridges
TIP
Each bridge contains a WirelessGRID authorization list, and all bridges
require reciprocal entries to communicate. Base stations support up to 32
list entries. Subscriber units and point-to-point bridges support two
WirelessGRID list entries.
Follow these steps to add a bridge to the WirelessGRID authorization list:
1. Enter the MAC Address of a new bridge.
2. Enter a Location Identifier to identify the bridge.
3. Press Add New to include the new bridge in the WirelessGRID list.
4. Confirm that the new entry was entered correctly by reviewing the list
at the bottom of the page.
5. If the device is a base station, continue adding bridges until you are
finished.
6. Press Reboot to cycle power and enable new settings.
Follow these steps to remove a bridge from the WirelessGRID list:
1. Press Delete.
2. On the next screen, press Delete to confirm or Cancel to return to the
WirelessGRID list screen without removing the entry.
