DynamicBridge Mode
DynamicBridge is smart, high efficiency, high performance, easy deployment and easy configuration
for point to multi-point bridge link. It enables BW1253s to automatically seek and associate nearby
root AP and dynamically self-configure for wireless bridge connection. Whenever a bridge link is
broken, the network will auto re-configure route to minimize the lost of WLAN operation. It also
minimized the technician intervention and reduce cost of going on-site to re-establish transmission
paths.
Figure 59 – Advanced Wireless Setting (Bridge Mode)
Radio
– specify the wireless interface
NodeType
– show the node type (root or normal)
NetID
– Net ID for the association between root and normal(client) bridge link. It must be the same
between root and normal(client) association.
Security
– specify which security policy is used
Edit
– edit the selected
Bridge
link
entry you want to configure
Clicking
Edit
to configure the bridge parameters.
Figure 60 – Bridge Link Setting
NodeType
– determine the AP as Root or Normal(client) rule. As a root AP, the nearby bridge client
will automatically associate to the root AP based on the signal quality. In case a bridge link is broken,
the client AP will automatically seek the nearby root AP based on the best signal quality and same
NetID to re-build a bridge link. For the normal(client) AP the NetID must same with root AP to
distinguish which root AP is in the link table. And the frequency channel is determined by the root AP
despite the client AP configured.
NetID
–
NetID is a very important element for the dynamicbridge link. The link between root and client
AP will based on the same NetID to make the bridge link.
Security
– specify the security policy of the bridge link. [WPA-PSK (AES)/disable]
WPAPSK-AES
–specify more than 8 characters and less than 64 characters for WPA with
pre-shared key encryption
Disable
– no data encryption for the bridge link.
