[. . . ] In this way, any station of the Remote LAN can successfully communicate with any station of the central LAN, as if all of them belonged to the same physical LAN. Wireless Stations cannot communicate directly with Access Point Clients. The Access Point conducts the designated traffic to the appropriate wired or wireless station. Figure 3-2 Access Point Client 27 Wireless bridge This mode allows two types of connections: a. Point to point The Wireless Bridge can communicate with a specific Remote MAC Address. The user must define the Remote MAC Address, which is the MAC Address of the Wireless Bridge of the Remote LAN. Figure 3-3 Wireless Bridge ­ Point to Point 28 b. Point to multipoint The Wireless Bridge can communicate with any Wireless Bridge available in the same channel. When Authorization Algorithm is enabled, the Wireless Bridge can communicate with any Wireless Bridge whose MAC Addresses exists in the Authorization Table. Figure 3-4 Wireless Bridge ­ Point to Multipoint For each mode you can either view or modify the Wireless LAN parameters of the Wireless Operational Settings windows. In the Operational Mode Window there are the following parameters. 29 Preferred BSS It is enabled only if you select the Access Point Client option. BSS corresponds to the MAC Address of the desired AP. Remote MAC address It is enabled only if you select Point to Point. It corresponds to the MAC Address of the Wireless Bridge of the Remote LAN. 30 Authorized MAC address For security reasons the Access Point has the ability to associate with authorized MAC Addresses stations, if the Authorization Table option is enabled. Thus, under the Authorized MAC Address option you may press the following buttons. The "Load file" button in order to load a file with the MAC addresses that can be associated with the Access Point (Authorized MAC Addresses). The "Download" button in order to download the Authorized MAC Address to the Access Point. The "Get" button in order to get from the Access Point the Authorized MAC Addresses. 31 Enable SNMP Traps Using this submenu you can either enable or disable SNMP traps, which are messages displayed in the right bottom corner for the main window indicating that an action related to the AP took place. Permitted messages are : Trap Reassociation: This trap message is sent when a Station's reassociation request is received from the AP-Bridge. Trap Association: Indicates the reception of an association request packet and the sender Station's successful association with the Wireless Bridge. Trap Disassociation: This trap message is sent when a disassociation notification packet is received from a Station. Trap Reset: This trap message is sent when the AP-Bridge resets. Trap Setting IP Address with Ping: This trap message is sent when the AP-Bridge IP address is set with the transmission of a ping message. Trap Start Up: This trap message is sent when Bridge starts up. Trap Failed to Erase Flash: This trap message is sent when Bridge fails to erase flash. 32 Authorization Using this submenu the Administrator can change the passwords which referred to the community field for the User and the Administrator Authority. 33 Commands menu Under this menu there are two submenus. Reset Device: you can reset the Access Point. [. . . ] Network A network is a system of computers that is connected. Data, files, and messages can be transmitted over this network.
