For multipoint bridging, an omni directional antenna is typically used at
the main site. Directional antennas are used at the remote sites. This
distinction is shown in Figure
. With these
antennas the remote sites can then communicate with the main site. In this
configuration, again, all the LANs appear as a single segment. Traffic from one
remote site to another will be sent to the main site and then forwarded to the
other remote site. Remote sites cannot communicate directly with one another.
Line of sight must be maintained between each remote site and the main
site.
Set the main bridge to Root = ON and all other bridges to
Root = OFF, to enable the bridges to connect to each other.
