Once the bridge is configured with an IP address, close the terminal emulator or browser, disconnect the
console port cable, and continue with the remote configuration, as described in the following section.

Remote Configuration
Once the bridge is configured with an IP address, you can connect using Telnet or a web browser.
Note: You should configure the radio network while the devices you plan to use are in close proximity to one
another. This helps to ensure that the radio communications function properly while the various parameters
are configured. Once the radio equipment is configured, it can be put into place.

are configured. Once the radio equipment is configured, it can be put into place.
To connect from a PC or host using the Telnet protocol, issue a telnet command:
telnet IP address of the bridge
•
To connect from a web browser, type:
http://IP address of the bridge
•
When you connect to the bridge with a web browser, the menu system looks different than it does when you
use the console or Telnet. The options presented are the same, but when you use the browser you select menu
navigation options instead of typing them.

Configure the Radio Network
You must set the basic radio network parameters in the following order:
Assign a Service Set Identifier (SSID).
1.
Set the permitted data rates.
2.
Set the frequency.
3.
Set the root configuration.
4.
Caution: If you change the radio parameters after you complete the configurations, the unit drops all
radio connections and restarts with the changes, disrupting radio traffic through the unit. Therefore, complete
this part of the configuration before installing the bridge in a hard−to−access location.

Assign the SSID
The SSID allows the bridge to communicate with other devices. It is a unique, case−sensitive identifier that is
attached to selected packets sent out over the radio network. Nodes associating with the bridge must use the
same SSID or their association requests are ignored.

Determine a unique SSID for the bridges and make sure all devices in the network use the same SSID. To
assign an SSID, connect to the bridge, go to the menu, and select Main > Configuration > Radio > SSID.

In the SSID window, type a value for the SSID option. The SSID can have up to 32 characters, and all devices
in the same radio network must use the same SSID. This value is case sensitive.

Set the Data Rate
Use the Rates option to define the data rate at which the unit receives and sends information. Other units in
the radio cell send data to the unit at any of the rates at their discretion. When a unit associates to a root
