Did you set the device to wireless for primary port?

I was at client #13 (!!) trying to use an airbridge indoor (my first one -
most clients are on airbridge outdoors with panels from superpass)
I had great signal strength when I logged in from my laptop to simplemonitor -
I was associating fine to the ap (which is a repeater) My blue light on the
airbridge stayed blue, indicating that the unit was maintaining association.
My laptop and the repeater radio are on the same subnet (172.26.0.0) , as is
the access point that the repeater (appo) talks to. The clients are on
10.0.0.0
Once I know I have good signal strength, Usually what I do is un plug the
cat-5 from the powershot from my laptop, then plug into the clients router or
computer. The router or client computer gets a dhcp address and then I'm outa
there.
But I couldn't get a dhcp address through the airbridge indoor. The radio
itself has a static ip address, and I tried it setting the primary dhcp port
to both wireless (which was my logical choice) and ethernet (out of
desperation) It wouldn't get an address either for the client computer, or
for the dlink 604 router that I carry with me.
In the end, I brought in a trusty airbridge outdoor from the vehicle, plugged
it in, and it just worked like "normal" - it gets a dhcp address for the
client computer, and away we go. I told them that I would be back next week
to tidy up - and I want to replace the airbridge outdoor that is indoors at
their house with an airbridge indoor.... whew!
We're not using simple deploy before we go out, just installing them "cold"
I want to use more airbridges (indoor), because I've installed this repeater,
which will let me use the airbridge indoor instead of airbridge outdoor
units, at a significant cost reduction.
O great and knowledgeable smartbridges list, what am I doing wrong?
Why won't my airbridge work just like the trusty airbridge indoors I know and
love?
