Your descriptions are very difficult to follow.
I think I understand it as your KN-200 doesn't have any IP's assigned to the
wireless interfaces... this doesn't matter. Connect to it on either
wireless end with an RG in bridging mode - yes, you may need to use a
crossover cable. If you can't figure out how to get a physical Ethernet
link you shouldn't be working with ANY of this equipment.
Link up to the KN-200 with the RG and hit scan - you'll see that AP in your
list. If it has an IP of 10.something you'll need to change the IP on your
laptop to 10.something-in-the-same-subnet. If it's 12.something, same goes.

I understand what you're doing with the routing now. Setup the RG on the
datacenter as a bridge. Make the KN-200 a router.

The relay kn-200 which is the one in the middle it is in routing & bridging
mode. It does have ips assigned to it. It actually has 12.96.250.38 via a
direct route to interface 1 and as the prefered ip. The second route it a
direct route of 10.10.10.2 which was intended for the point to point back to
the RG at the data center this was assigned to interface 2 (secondary
ethernet) this was inteded for interface 4. I have one RG at the tower
connected to the kn-200 in bridge mode that RG is plugged into our switch at
the tower and I am linked into that via our wireless link and I still can
not see it. Do you actually have to do a crossover into the rg conected to
the kn-200 to see it?

Yes and no. RG<->Kn-200 (This is PTP) on the first radio card the second
radio card is hooked into a horizontal omni and is feeding tower 1,2 etc and
each ap1000 on the towers are hooked in by an RG sat pointing back to the
second radio to the kn-200 so this is the PTMP portion.
<->RG<--ethernet-->AP-1000
Hope that is a little more clear? So I am into a link at one of the tower
via the ap1000 plugged into the same switch the that the RG (Bridged) that
is linked to the kn-200 is plugged into yet I can not see the kn-200
anymore.
This is where I am getting lost. But it is connected to everything I can
pull up all the border RG's connected to the intefaces of the kn-200 and see
the radio links back just fine.
Thanks,
John
