5.6 Point-to-Multipoint Bridge Setup Guide
A Point-to-Multipoint configuration allows you to set up three or more WH-5000A in
bridging mode and accomplish bridging between 3 or more locations wirelessly.
Same as Point-to-Point Bridge Setup procedure, you need to set up with compatible commands in setup
screens.
Using above picture as a example, Bridge 1 must contain all of the other’s BSSID, while Bridge 2
and
3 must contain Bridge 1’s BSSID.
The following Table describes the basic attributes for the network topology illustrate at above picture.

The above recommended setup requires only Bridge 1 to be set in point-to-multipoint mode. It is possible to
set all bridges in point-to-multipoint mode, in which case, each bridge would have to contain the BSSID for
each
of the other bridges and Spanning Tree Protocol must be enabled.
