Sam,
I have set up STP on Karlnet point to point RG-1000s. I was using cisco
2950 switches. They work great if you have STP turned on on the RGs. You
will also want to tune the STP so that it primarily uses the link that you
want it too. It will never work as a dumb piece of cat5 because STP
utilizes the link light to determine if the connection is good. Since the
link light will stay on no matter what the RF side of the RG is doing, you
have to use STP on the RG. In other words, the RG has to be smart not dumb.
That is what I found anyway. Good luck.
John

Subject: [Karlnet] KN with externally controlled STP
Has anyone used KN bridge's (RG's in point-point mode) in an STP scenario?
(triangle loop to be precise)
We need to use STP enabled switches rather than the KN onboard STP feature.
KN's STP works fine on its own, however when disabled and the switches are
added - the entire combo crashes and burns.
When replaced with cat5 cable on the test bench it works fine.
Im guessing this is due to the fact that Karlnet'd RG's are learning
bridges.
Is there any way to turn off the learn feature thus creating a wireless link
as-close-as-you-can-get to a length of dumb cat5 cable?
-Sam
