Check the Preferred BSSID and Enter the following values and Click on “Connect”
The airBridge will automatically search the available Access Points on the LAN and associates with the best possible Access Point providing maximum signal strength. If the available Access Point is working with the shared Key then you need to enter the same Key in airBridge (Please refer to Security Tab for keying in the WEP encryption Key).
Check the Preferred BSSID.Enter the values of ESSID, BSSID, Channel, Preamble for the known Access Point. Click on “Connect”. The airBridge will try to associate with the Access Point, and gives the suitable message as whether associated or not. Please key in the WEP Keys same as the Access Point you are connecting with.
If you don’t know the Access Points then go for this option.Uncheck the Preferred BSSID. It will show the available Access Points, select one of them and Click “Connect”, else double click on the Entry of the Access Point. The airBridge will try to associate with the Access Point, and gives the suitable message as whether associated or not. Please key in the WEP Keys same as the Access Point you are connecting with.
Enter the values of ESSID, BSSID, Channel, Preamble for the known Access Point Client. Click on “Set”. The airBridge will automatically connect to the Known Access Point Client. You must make sure that if the other client is using the WEP encryption Keys, then the same keys are keyed in the airBridge .
Note : Please make sure that you are not using ESSID as "Any" in ADHOC Mode. This is specially reserved for infrastructure Mode only.
When user clicks on “Antenna Alignment” button, a new dialog box will pop up. The RSSI and Link Quality of associate Access Point will be displayed graphically. These values will be refreshed periodically (2 sec). This will be a visual feedback to the user for positioning antenna to get better link quality.
In this Mode, the airBridge can connect to any Access Point with the same ESSID, based on signal strength and can switch in between them if one goes down. In the above Fig. Access Points ( Main and StandBy ) are shown. Both are ON at the time and share same ESSID. airBridge is associated to Main airPoint-PRO. The airBridge has specific seetings. The ESSID is same as that of Access Point and BSSID equal to "0000000000000". In case if the Main Access Point goes down, airBridge will reassociate with the StandBy Access Point. The switchover time in normally upto 5 secs. This guarantees the internet connection to all the PCs behind airBridge even if one Access Point goes down.
