Wireless Hops

To create a wireless hop, you must enable one or more

WLIF radios on the distribution LAN as wireless hopping

Masters and then configure the Slave stations (through

[Slave Parms]) to connect to these Masters.

EXAMPLE:

In Figure 4-4, two access points have two WLIF radios. One radio is

configured as a Master to provide the wireless connection to the

distribution LAN. The other radio is configured as a Slave to service

wireless station traffic.

" NOTE:

For best performance, use one or two external antenna kits when

using two WLIF radios. A minimum separation of 10 feet (3 meters)

between antennas is required.
