Chapter 4: Configuring Wireless Access
1. On the Wireless LAN > Radios > Basic page, set the Access Point.
2. Configure the wireless security settings described in Configuring Wireless
Communication on page 82.
3. On the Wireless LAN > Radios > Basic page, set Repeater 1 and Repeater 2 to
Repeater mode.
4. Configure the wireless security settings to match the AP described in Configuring
Wireless Communication on page 82.
5. On the Wireless LAN > Radios > Advanced page, set all components in the network to
use the same Channel Width and Channel Size.
This is described in Defining Advanced Radio Settings on page 85.
6. Set the Max Distance parameter for each component to twice the distance (2x Distance)
between it and the device it connects to.
If the WaveMesh feature is activated, these optional selections can be made:
a. On the Wireless LAN > Parent Configuration page, set Repeater 1 to select its
parent (the AP) using the Branch selection method and a branch length of 1
(indicating a single hop).
b. On the Wireless LAN > Parent Configuration page, set Repeater 2 to select its
parent (Repeater 1) using the Branch selection method and a branch length of 2
(indicating 2 hops).
Configuring Wireless Communication
Each WavePoint 10e is configured with at least one radio for wireless communication. Using the
basic wireless settings, a WavePoint 10e can be configured as:
l a wireless Access Point (AP) in the network that other wireless devices communicate with
that have the same 802.11 adapter settings and are within range.
l a Repeater to extend the range of the network or as a Client at the ending point within the
network topology.
The basic instructions apply to all radio configurations, regardless of network topography.
Note: Verify the SSID, security method and security keys, channel, channel width, and
802.11 mode are set the same on all devices in a wireless network to establish a
link.
By default, all WavePoint 10e devices are shipped with the same SSID and
Security Key and will connect automatically.
