What if
I replaced them both with airPoint units? Would that work?
I’ve
got almost 50m of cat5 in conduit that I really don’t want to have to
replace with RG-6. Please tell me there’s a device in the $500-600 range
that will do the job.
I gotta
say, I was totally misled by the reseller. They told me, flat out, that the
airBridge would perform bridging functions. I’m used to working with
RadioLAN products called BridgeLINKs. I saw the pricepoint on the airBRIDGE units and thought I had
discovered a far less expensive alternative. Boy, was I wrong!
Time to
change the name, guys. airClient perhaps? airBridge is waaaaaaaaaay
misleading!

Sorry, I
just re-read you post. Your setup looks like this (right?)
subnetA
<---> switch <--> ABt(infrastructure) ----------- ABt(adhoc)
<--> switch <--> subnetB
The
normal minimum setup would be this
subnetA
<---> switch <--> AP ----------- AB <--> switch <-->
subnetB
You may
be able to make this work (not fo sure)
subnetA
<---> LAN/router/WAN <--> ABt(infrastructure) -----------
ABt(adhoc) <--> WAN/router/LAN <--> subnetB
If this
setup works there will be sever limitations such as on 64 devices (anything
with a MAC) on either subnet, most peer-peer software will not work, etc...
The only
thing you need to do to your setup is replace the AB closest to NOC with an
APPo. If you use an AP that does not support the address4 field you will have
to replace the switch on subnetB with a router and plug the AB in to the WAN
port.

Use an
airPoint in infrastructure mode to coordinate the whole thing. Or any wireless
router for that matter. How much do you know about wireless networking and
802.11b? This is basic stuff and common to all wireless devices. For that matter,
any networking device. You can't connect three or more computers with ethernet
cards together without a hub, switch or router of some kind. The AP in this
case acts as a hub of sorts.

You’ve
got to be kidding me. They market a device that CAN’T be used as a
wireless bridge as “airBridge”???
Please
tell me you’re joking. These devices are already installed. I don’t
even have the boxes they came in!!
Can
someone from smartBridges please weigh in on this??

Using
two AB you can only talk between the two computers directly connected to the
AB. You would need to install some form of routing software to send the traffic
beyond the first computer. You miht give 'Internet Connection Sharing' built in
to Windows a try. Otherwise sherch google for personal routing software.
Another idea (don't know if it would work) is to install this
way...
YourNetworkORComputer<-->Router<-->AB<--------->AB<-->OptionalRouter<-->ClientComputer

Subject: [smartBridges] Using
airBridge TOTAL units as simple Ether bridge
Can anyone help me?
All I want to is use the two
airBridge TOTAL units that I bought as a simple Ethernet bridge (to link two
physical Ethernet networks under the same subnet). If I set one (Unit A) in
Infrastructure mode and the other (Unit B) in Ad Hoc mode, I am able to associate
one with the other. This enables me to ping from Unit A to Unit B with no
problem. I can even ping Unit B from a laptop on the same switch as Unit A. I
cannot, however, ping any devices that are on Unit B’s physical network
from Unit A.
I am going out of the country in six
days and I must get this installation finished for my customer. Can anyone
please tell me, step-by-step, how I setup the two devices to act as a bridge?
Thanks in advance!

Actually, the gel is a water block and it keeps water
from wicking along
the pairs if the jacket is damaged.
How would it get damaged? I once
watched a woodpecker pounding away on a
tower for 5 full minutes before I
banged on the tower and he flew away.
I think he just liked the sound it
made when he pecked on it.
