Where Do I Go From Here?
That depends on how you are going to use the AP/Bridge:
• Access Point operation: If you are using the AP/Bridge as a stand-alone Access Point with
WEP security, it will associate with your WEP-enabled clients now. Your clients should be
able access your network. See "Optimizing Your Wireless Client For Secure
Communications" on page 73 and follow the steps for configuring WEP in your client.
• Coverage Filler, Repeater, and Wireless Backhaul operation: To use the AP/Bridge with a Wi-Fi
Base Station, you need to configure one of the wireless interfaces in both devices to form a
wireless distribution system (WDS) link between them. This involves enabling WDS on a
wireless interface on both devices and setting them to the same channel number, and telling
them to use the other devices’ wireless interface Mac address as the other end of the link.
To configure WDS using the CLI, see "Configure WDS (Wireless Distribution System)"
on page 139. To use the Web configuration pages, see "Network>WDS" on page 68
To make additional changes to the Wi-Fi AP/Bridge’s configuration, you can access the
configuration web pages over your local wired network or by using a wireless connection. However,
you need to use the new IP address that you assigned to the Wi-Fi AP/Bridge and the new Read and
Enable passwords you entered in the initial setup to gain access. Rather than use the Quick Setup
screens to make changes, you now use the main configuration pages for customizing your
configuration. See "Navigating the Main Web Page Configuration Screens" on page 51.
