How to Configure a WG602 v3 as a Point-to-Point Bridge
Figure 5-2:
Wireless Point-to-Point Bridging
1.
Configure AP1 in Point-to-Point mode with the MAC address of AP2 and deploy it on LAN
Segment 1. If you check the Enable Wireless Client Association checkbox, wireless clients
will also be able to use AP1. If the Enable Wireless Client Association checkbox is not
selected, only computers on Ethernet LAN segment 1 will use AP1 to communicate with AP2.
2.
Configure AP2 in Point-to-Point mode with the MAC address of AP1 and deploy it on LAN
Segment 2. Use the same security and channel settings as AP1. If you check the Enable
Wireless Client Association checkbox, wireless clients will also be able to use AP2. If the
Enable Wireless Client Association checkbox is not selected, only computers on Ethernet
LAN segment 2 will use AP2 to communicate with AP1.
3.
Verify connectivity across the network.
If you enabled wireless client association on both APs, a computer on either AP should be able
to connect to the Internet or share files and printers of any other PCs or servers connected to
the network.

How to Configure Wireless Multi-Point Bridging
Figure 5-3:
Wireless Bridging
1.
Configure the Operating Mode of the WG602 v3 Access Points.
–
AP1 on LAN Segment 1 in Point-to-Point Bridge mode with the Remote MAC Address of
AP2.
–
Because it is in the central location, configure AP2 on LAN Segment 2 in Wireless
Multi-Point Bridging mode. Add the MAC addresses of the adjacent Point-to-Point APs
which are configured to communicating with it.
–
Configure the AP3 on LAN 3 in Point-to-Point Bridge mode with the Remote MAC
Address of AP2.
2.
Verify the following parameters for all access points:
•
Verify that the LAN network configuration the WG602 v3 Access Points are configured to
operate in the same LAN network address range as the LAN devices
•
Only one AP is configured in Wireless Multi-Point Bridging mode, and all the others are
in Point-to-Point Bridge mode.
•
All APs must be on the same LAN. That is, all the APs LAN IP address must be in the
same network.

•
If using DHCP, all WG602 v3 Access Points should be set to “Obtain an IP address
automatically (DHCP Client)” in the IP Address Source portion of the Basic IP Settings
menu.
•
All WG602 v3 Access Points use the same SSID, Channel, WEP authentication mode, if
any, and encryption in use (WPA is not available in bridge modes).
•
All Point-to-Point APs must have AP2’s MAC address in its Remote AP MAC address
table.
•
If MAC access control list security is enabled on the APs, verify that the MAC access
control lists on each AP are complete and accurate.
3.
Verify connectivity across the LANs.
•
If you check the Enable Wireless Client Association checkbox, wireless clients will also
be able to use the AP.
•
A computer on any LAN segment should be able to connect to the Internet or share files
and printers with any other PCs or servers connected to any of the three LAN segments.
•
If Access Control Lists are enabled on the APs, only computers in the access control list
will be able to use the AP.
Note:
You can extend this multi-point bridging by adding additional WG602 v3s configured in
Point-to-Point mode for additional wireless LAN segments.
