Setup guide
3. Choosing the frequency, in our case we use 2442MHz.
4. (For CISCO/Aironet Bridges only) Set
Configuration/Radio/Extended/Bridge/mode=access_point. If you leave it to 'bridge_only', it
wont register clients.
5. Setting the identity parameters Configuration/Ident: Inaddr, Inmask, and Gateway. These are
required if you want to access the AP remotely using telnet or http.
The IP addresses assigned to the wireless interface should be from the network 10.1.1.0/24:
[admin@Wandy] ip address> add address 10.1.1.12/24 interface aironet
[admin@Wandy] ip address> print
Flags: X - disabled, I - invalid, D - dynamic
# ADDRESS NETWORK BROADCAST INTERFACE
0 10.1.1.12/24 10.1.1.0 10.1.1.255 aironet
1 192.168.0.254/24 192.168.0.0 192.168.0.255 Local
[admin@Wandy] ip address>
The default route should be set to the gateway router 10.1.1.254 (! not the AP 10.1.1.250 !):
[admin@Wandy] ip route> add gateway=10.1.1.254
[admin@Wandy] ip route> print
Flags: X - disabled, I - invalid, D - dynamic, J - rejected,
C - connect, S - static, R - rip, O - ospf, B - bgp

Point-to-Point Wireless LAN
Point-to-Point links provide a convenient way to connect a pair of clients on a short distance.
Let us consider the following point-to-point wireless network setup with two Wandy wireless
routers:
To establish a point-to-point link, the configuration of the wireless interface should be as follows:
• A unique Service Set Identifier should be chosen for both ends, say "mt"
• A channel frequency should be selected for the link, say 2412MHz
• The operation mode should be set to ad-hoc
• One of the units (slave) should have wireless interface property join-net set to 0s (never create
a network), the other unit (master) should be set to 1s or whatever, say 10s. This will enable
the master unit to create a network and register the slave unit to it.
The following command should be issued to change the settings for the pc interface of the master
unit:
[admin@Wandy] interface pc> set 0 mode=ad-hoc ssid1=mt frequency=2442MHz \
\... bitrate=auto
[admin@Wandy] interface pc>
For 10 seconds (this is set by the property join-net) the wireless card will look for a network to
join. The status of the card is not synchronized, and the green status light is blinking fast. If the card
cannot find a network, it creates its own network. The status of the card becomes synchronized, and
the green status led becomes solid.
The monitor command shows the new status and the MAC address generated:
[admin@Wandy] interface pc> monitor 0
synchronized: yes
associated: yes
frequency: 2442MHz
data-rate: 11Mbit/s
ssid: "mt"
access-point: 2E:00:B8:01:98:01
