Setting two AP-90Ms (illustration: A and B) with the following settings are used as an example.
• Refer to “Wireless bridging function” for the function requirements. (+p.1-8)
• First, set the same channel (example: 001CH (2412 MHz)) as the channel set to the access point you want to com-municate with.
• Select a channel that does not require the DFS function, and deselect “Automatic.” Otherwise the Wireless Bridge function will not work.
• The IP address which was set in “Changing the IP address” (+p.2-8) is used as an example.
