3.2 Setting Bridge Mode
You can connect two separate LANs over a wireless link by configuring two LG Access
Points to communicate with each other. This is called a LAN-to-LAN connection.
Two APs in different buildings using an outdoor antenna to connect the LANs in those
buildings can be deployed.
To configure two APs to communicate with each other in a LAN-to-LAN configuration,
perform the following tasks:
1) Get the wireless MAC address of the remote AP. You can see the wireless address
via the AP Manager or console device, as described in "Access Point Configuration
Window" section. The wireless MAC address is NOT the same as the wired MAC
address printed on the front of the AP.
2) Set the Bridge Mode to LAN-to-LAN, as described in above "Access Point
Configuration Window section's Type item.
3) Make sure that the APs use the same channel. To change the AP channel, see
"Access Point Configuration Window" section.
The AP provides the following bridging services:
• Store -and-forward capability
The AP receives, checks, and transmits frames to other LANs, enabling the
configuration of extended LANs.
• Frame filtering based on address
Using the address database and the source and destination addresses from incoming
frames, the AP isolates the traffic that should not be allowed on other LANs. This
action reduces the total data traffic on an extended LAN by not forwarding the packets
that have local destination addresses or packets that are not allowed to forward. This
increases bandwidth efficiency.
