Hi Edward, Adam is right. In order to have "SU to SU" direct communication you need to enable Unicast Relaying and (optional) Broadcast/Multicast Relaying on the AU. Below is a quote from the manual related to Unicast Relaying:
4.2.6.4.6 Unicast Relaying (AU only) The Unicast Relaying option enables selecting whether the unit performs unicast relaying. When the Unicast Relaying parameter is enabled, unicast packets originating from devices on the wireless link can be transmitted back to the wireless link devices. If disabled, these packets are not sent to the wireless link even if they are intended for devices on the wireless link. Disable the Unicast Relaying parameter only if all unicast messages from the wireless link are certain to be directed to the local wired LAN. The default selection is Enable. If you have a more complex scenario maybe you want to change settings also for the VLAN Relaying. You can find detailed info about all the setting in the official manual. If you don't have it let me know and I'll send it to you.

Unicast didn't do it and I can't find any "MAC forwarding" settings. Will see if renumbering is an option and try that next.

I know of no way to connect SU to SU directly without an AU in the middle. The caveat is that I was never an engineer, so maybe there was some super secret agent setting for which I had no knowledge. I doubt it though, otherwise they'd no have built the extender. > > Patrick Leary > M 727.501.3735 <tel:727.501.3735> > > > > > > > -----Original Message----- > From: wireless-boun...@wispa.org <mailto:wireless-boun...@wispa.org> [mailto:wireless-boun...@wispa.org <mailto:wireless-boun...@wispa.org> ] On Behalf Of Matt Hoppes > Sent: Monday, January 20, 2014 3:19 PM > To: WISPA General List > Subject: Re: [WISPA] Alvarion VL SU to SU > > Hmmmm, I thought I recalled that you could turn that off?
