Setting Root Configuration
Before performing detailed configuration, you should determine whether the bridge will be a
root bridge or a non-root bridge. Refer to the Aironet 340 Series Wireless Bridge User Guide
on the product CD for configuration examples. The default setting for a bridge is as a root unit.
Use the following steps to change this setting.
1
Access the Configuration Radio menu.
— If you are using a terminal emulator, select Configuration > Radio from the Main
menu.
— If you are using a browser, click Radio under the Configuration heading.
2
At the Configuration Radio menu, select on or off for the Enable root mode setting.
— If you are using a terminal emulator, enter a 2 to select the Root setting. The prompt
will ask if you are sure you want to change the setting. Enter y to toggle the setting from
on to off, or from off to on.
— If you are using a browser, click Allow Config Changes and then click On to set the
6
bridge as a root unit, or click Off to set the bridge as a non-root unit.
Once the bridge is configured as a root or non-root unit, you can quit the terminal emulator or
browser, disconnect the console port cable, and install the bridge in its desired location before
proceeding with remote configuration.
Refer to the Aironet 340 Series Wireless Bridge User Guide on the product CD for details on
configuration.
