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 unit

s 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.

2. Select Advanced > Advanc

ed Setup > Wireless Repeating to display the Wireless

Repeating Function screen.

3. In the Wireless Repeating Function screen (depending on the frequency you want to use),

select the Enable Wireless Repeating Function check box, and select the Wireless Base

Station radio button.
