Set Up the Base Station

The wireless repeating function works only in hub and spoke mode. The units cannot be
daisy-chained. You have to know the wireless settings for both units. You have to know the
MAC address of the remote unit. First, set up the base station, and then set up the repeater.

To set up the base station:
1. Set up both units with exactly the same wireless settings (SSID, mode, channel, and
security). Note that the wireless security option has to be set to None or WEP.
