• Repeater: Operates as a wireless repeater, extending the range for remote
wireless clients and connecting them to the root bridge. The “Parent” link to the

• Root Bridge: Operates as the root bridge in the wireless bridge network. Up to
six ”Child” links are available to other bridges in the network.
• Bridge Parent – The physical layer address of the root bridge unit or the bridge unit
connected to the root bridge. (12 hexadecimal digits in the form
“xx-xx-xx-xx-xx-xx”)
“xx-xx-xx-xx-xx-xx”)
• Bridge Child – The physical layer address of other bridge units for which this unit
serves as the bridge parent or the root bridge. Note that the first entry under the
list of child nodes is reserved for the root bridge, and can only be configured if the
role is set to “Root Bridge.” (12 hexadecimal digits in the form “xx-xx-xx-xx-xx-xx”)

• Bridge Link Timer – Sets the maximum time the bridge waits to receive a link
message from the parent bridge. (Range: 0 -100; Default: 0, that is disabled)
Child bridges periodically send requests for link information from the parent bridge.
The Parent bridge responds with the information and checks that it was received
by the child bridge. The message includes link information on the connection path
to the root bridge and confirms that the link is valid. If a link is detected as down,
the bridge restarts the association process to try and recover the link.
