2. Configure the ME103 (AP2) on LAN Segment 2 in Point-to-Point Bridge mode.

AP1 must have AP2’s MAC address in its Remote MAC Address field and AP2 must have

AP1’s MAC address in its Remote MAC Address field.

3. Configure and verify the following parameters for both access points:

• Verify that the LAN network configuration of the ME103 Access Points both are

configured to operate in the same LAN network address range as the LAN devices

• Both use the same ESSID, Channel, authentication mode, if any, and security settings if

security is in use.
