Hi Rick,
Sorry if the statement has been
confused to you, but basically that is referring to the setup of the point to
point wireless bridge mode. If you want to have a solution to connect LAN to
LAN connection then I would recommend you to setup point to point WB mode
using two APPO devices. Basically this mode is used to connect site to site
(two LAN networks) connectivity as in corporate building setups or can be used
as backhauls connecting distance PoPs to the central NOC.
In this mode, there is no MAC
limitation and it is unlimited.
The CB mode intended for the CPE
which is limited by 128 MAC addresses.
Here is the example of setting up
the wireless bridge mode using two APPO.
Both APPO units are to be set as
Wireless
Bridge mode
–point to point mode, input the MAC address
of the opposite unit
and set them on the same channel
You can confirm the LINK by pinging from both side. Set your PC to the
same IP subnet as the device (Example 192.168.0.x )and try to ping to the
opposite device.
NOC
_____Router_____Switch_____WB1…………………………WB2_____Client PCs (on an Ethernet
switch)
WB1 = primary port
ETHERNET
WB2 = primary port
WIRELESS
The default gateway will be the
IP address of the Router for all devices. I hope this info
helps.
Please feel free to contact us
for any further information if required.
Thank you
Kind regards,
Seeni

This is
confusing. You are telling me that both airPoint Pro's have to be in
Wireless
Bridge
mode?
You told me
before that the way to do what I am trying to do is, and I
quote:
"One way of implementing the solution would be to have one
airPoint PRO
as the access point (AP
mode) at the NOC and the other airPoint PRO as a
bridge (Client Bridge mode). The airPoint PROs are totally
transparent,
unlike the airBridge,
and they support multiple MACs."
So which is
it? Should I use wireless bridge mode or Access Point to Client Bridge
Mode?
I'm not sure
I understand the difference. Last night I got that to work (Access Point to
Client
Bridge) and
I was able to see several MAC#'s, unless they were all proxying through one
device.
I need the
solution that best bridges one LAN to another LAN without the low MAC#
limitation.
Thanks!

An
airPoint configured in Wireless Bridge Mode can only associate with another
airPoint also configured in Wireless
Bridge
mode.
In the
simpleMonitor's Wireless Bridge Tab, you have to include the MAC address of
the airPoint (running in Wireless
Bridge mode) it will be
associating to and in the Basic Settings Tab, please use the same channel
for both the airPoints.
Please
double check the MAC address in Wireless Bridge Tab and also the Channels in
the Basic Settings Tab on both the units after setting the values,
to ensure that they are configured correctly.
Best

Okay,
apparently I am trying to do the impossible.
I have two
airPoints. The only way I can get them to talk is with one being in Access
Point mode and the other in Client
Bridge
mode.
If I try to go
into Wireless
Bridge
mode on one side, no go. If I go Wireless
Bridge
on both sides, no go. I have no auth... and I have tried entering the MAC#
on both sides just in case they are required. No
go.
No matter what
I try, only Access Point to Client
Bridge
is working.
I need to
bridge one lan to another (only sending data across the link that is known
to be on that side of the link... which I think my switch will handle for
me). I don't want any MAC# limitations. I think there is a limitation
of 64 which is fine but I can't get any to work at all. I can't even
ping the radio's IP# aside from the Access Point to Client
Bridge
setup.
HELP
PLEASE!
