[. . . ] You have to enter the MAC addresses of other access points that join the bridging work. In "Universal Repeater mode", this device need a WLAN MAC MAC Address WLAN MAC 13 Wireless Range Extender (WL-130) Configuration address to act as a station to connect to another peer or access point. You also can click "Clone MAC" button to let this device copy the MAC address of the PC you are using to configure this device. In "Universal Repeater mode", this device can act as a station Root AP SSID to connect to a Root AP. You should assign the SSID of the Root AP here. In "AP Bridge-WDS mode", you can click "Set Security" to add Set Security encryption for the communication between the bridged access points. Click "Show Active Clients" button, then an "Active Wireless Associated Clients Client Table" will pop up. You can see the status of all active wireless stations that are connecting to the access point. When you use this access point as a wireless station for wired Wireless Site Survey network device to have wireless capability, you have to associate it will an working access point. Click "Select Site Survey" button, then a "Wireless Site Survey Table" will pop up. It will list all available access points near by. You can select one access point in the table and it will join the wireless LAN through this access point. Click the Apply button at the bottom of the screen to save the above configurations. You can now configure other advance sections or start using the Access Point. Set Security "Set Security" lets you setup the wireless security for the data transmission between the bridged access points in "AP Bridge-WDS mode". It provides "WEP 64bits", "WEP 128bits", "WPA (TKIP)", "WPA2 (AES)" encryption methods. Parameter Encryption Key Format Description You can select "No encryption", "WEP 64bits", "WEP 128bits", "WPA (TKIP)" or "WPA2 (AES)" encryption methods. This is only used when you select "WEP 64bits" or "WEP 128bits" encryption method. You may choose to select ASCII Characters (alphanumeric format) or Hexadecimal Digits (in the 14 Wireless Range Extender (WL-130) Configuration "A-F", "a-f" and "0-9" range) to be the WEP Key. For example: ASCII Characters: guest Hexadecimal Digits: 12345abcde WEP Key This is only used when you select "WEP 64bits" or "WEP 128bits" encryption method. The WEP key is used to encrypt data transmitted between the bridged access points. Fill the text box by following the rules below. 64-bit WEP: input 10-digit Hex values (in the "A-F", "a-f" and "0-9" range) or 5-digit ASCII character as the encryption keys. 128-bit WEP: input 26-digit Hex values (in the "A-F", "a-f" and "0-9" range) or 10-digit ASCII characters as the encryption keys. [. . . ] You will be asked to confirm your decision. Once the reset process is complete you may start using the Access Point again.
