8.2.2 Bridge / Repeater Mode

Use this screen to have the NWA act as a wireless network bridge / repeater and

establish wireless links with other APs. You need to know the MAC address of the

peer device, which also must be in bridge / repeater mode.

MCS Table The MCS Rate table is available only when 802.11n/g or 802.11n/

a is selected as the 802.11 Radio Mode.

IEEE 802.11n supports many different data rates which are called

MCS rates. MCS stands for Modulation and Coding Scheme. This is an

802.11n feature that increases the wireless network performance in

terms of throughput.

For each MCS Rate (0-15), select either Enable (default) to have the

NWA use the data rate. Select Disable if you do not want the NWA to

use the data rate.

Enable Antenna

Diversity

(For NWA-3160 and NWA-3163 only)

Select this to use antenna diversity. Antenna diversity uses multiple

antennas to reduce signal interference.

Enable Spanning

Tree Control

(STP)

(R)STP (Section 8.3.1 on page 144) detects and breaks network loops

and provides backup links between switches, bridges or routers. It

allows a bridge to interact with other (R)STP -compliant bridges in

your network to ensure that only one path exists between any two

stations on the network. Select the check box to activate STP on the

NWA.

Enable Roaming Roaming allows wireless stations to switch from one access point to

another as they move from one coverage area to another. Select this

checkbox to enable roaming on the NWA if you have two or more

NWAs on the same subnet.

Note: All APs on the same subnet and the wireless stations must

have the same SSID to allow roaming.
