In the configuration of point-to-point connections, entries have to be made for the point-to-point operation mode and the channel selection scheme, along with the MAC addresses or station names of the remote sites.
Note: The configuration of the P2P connections can also be carried out with the WLAN Wizards in
LANconfig.
- Click on the button Physical WLAN settings to open the corresponding WLAN interface and select the tab for 'Point-to-Point'.
- Activate the suitable point-to-point operation mode here and set the channel selection scheme to either 'Master' or 'Slave'. If the peers of the P2P connections are to be identified via their station names, then enter a unique name for this WLAN station.
Note: For models with multiple WLAN modules, the station name can be entered separately for each
physical WLAN interface.
- Close the physical WLAN settings and open the list of Point-to-point partners. For each of the maximum of six P2P connections, enter either the MAC address of the WLAN card at the remote station or enter the WLAN station's name (depending on the chosen method of identification).
Note: Please observe that only the MAC addresses of the WLAN cards at the other end of the
connections are to be entered here! Not the access point's own MAC address, and not the MAC
addresses from any other interfaces that may be present in the access points.
You will find the WLAN MAC address on a sticker located under each of the antenna connectors. Only use the string that is marked as the "WLAN MAC" or "MAC-ID". The other addresses that may be found are not the WLAN MAC address but the LAN MAC address.
