Configuring the WOB-201 as a Bridge

To set the operation mode to Bridge mode, go to Operation Mode under the WIRELESS

menu of the WOB-201 Web interface. Select Bridge in the "Operation Mode" field and

click "Save".

When you select Bridge as the operation mode, the "Access Point List" page will come

up. (At the same time, "Access Point List" will appear as a submenu under the WIRELESS

menu of the Web interface.) In this window, you will see a list of all the available wireless

access points that the WOB-201 Bridge can connect to. Check the box next to the

access point you would like to connect to and click "Save".

Wireless Security

It is not necessary to configure wireless security to enable wireless communication.

However, for your data and network security, it is recommended that you choose one

of the security protocols described below that fits your needs.

Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA), WPA2, and Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) are wireless

encryption protocols that can be used to encrypt the data traffic on a wireless network.

The WOB-201 supports all three standards.

Another security feature of the WOB-201 is MAC Address Filtering. Using this feature you

can control which wireless computers can communicate with the WOB-201.

For your wireless network security, it is recommended that both MAC Address Filtering

and one of WPA, WPA2 or WEP wireless encryption protocols be used.

3.3.1

WPA Security Settings

WPA (Wi-Fi Protected Access) is one of the most advanced wireless encryption standards

today and provides you with the highest level of data protection. The biggest difference

between WPA and the earlier encryption standards is that WPA uses the TKIP (Temporal

Key Integrity Protocol) that changes the network key periodically. This makes breaking

the password, or network key, almost impossible and protects your network from

unauthorized access. All AirTies wireless products and the newly introduced 802.11g

wireless communication devices support WPA. If you would like to use WPA in your wireless

network, all the wireless adapters in your network should support WPA.
