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.
