These release notes describe features and caveats for the Cisco Aironet 340 Series Wireless Bridge. These release notes also contain important information about the device.
The Cisco Aironet 340 Series Wireless Bridge allows the connection of two or more remote Ethernet LANs into a single virtual LAN. Workstations on each of the remote LANs can communicate with each other as though they were on the same physical LAN. The bridge can also function as a radio Access Point and provide transparent, wireless data communications within the Radio LAN and between the wired LAN and fixed, portable or mobile devices equipped with a wireless adapter using the same modulation.
The bridge firmware menus and displays refer to Aironet Wireless Communications, Inc. Aironet is now part of Cisco Systems, Inc. Future versions of the firmware will be updated to reflect this change.
To prevent unauthorized wireless users from receiving data signals from the bridge, select off for the Allow Broadcast SSID setting. Follow these steps to make the selection:
Step 2 From the Configuration menu, select Radio.
Step 3 From the Radio menu, select I80211.
Step 4 From the I80211 menu, select Bcst_ssid to change the setting from on to off.

Note If the bridge is connected to the network, you can use an Internet browser to change the Allow Broadcast SSID setting. If you know the bridge's IP address, type it in the browser's address line and press Enter. At the Radio menu, click Allow Config Changes and click off for the Allow Broadcast SSID setting. If you don't know the bridge's IP address, point the browser to an Access Point and find the bridge in the Access Point's association table. Click the bridge's IP address to browse to the bridge. |
