2.4.4. Step 3: Configuring IEEE 802.11 Settings
Go to the IEEE 802.11, Communication section to configure IEEE 802.11g-related communication
settings, including Regulatory Domain, Channel Number, Network Name (SSID), and Bridge Links,
for both WLAN interfaces, depending on their interface types. No matter the type of a WLAN inter-
face is AP or LAN-to-LAN bridge, Regulatory Domain, Channel Number, and Network Name have
to be configured.

face is AP or LAN-to-LAN bridge, Regulatory Domain, Channel Number, and Network Name have
to be configured.
The number of available RF channels depends on local regulations; therefore you have to choose an
appropriate regulatory domain to comply with local regulations. For two wireless devices to com-
municate with each other, they must be set to identical SSID (Service Set IDentifier).

For a LAN-to-LAN bridge interface, also set the MAC address of each peer bridge according to your
planned network topology. Specify an MAC address, and then select its corresponding checkbox.

TIP:
Plan your wireless network and draw a diagram, so that you know how a DRBAP is connected
to other peer bridges and can therefore set the bridge links settings correctly.

Plan your wireless network and draw a diagram, so that you know how a bridge is connected to
other peer bridges by WDS. See the following figure for an example network-planning diagram.
