Hi,
I have a wireless bridge II successfully setup in Layer 3 IP forward mode. However, I have learnt that this makes communicating to the device through the webpage/telnet impossible.
Is there any other way I can periodically poll the device for its RSSI result?
It seems like using Serial via a bluetooth link may be an option, how would I go about doing this and are there any other options? (Hardware Serial of any kind?)
You are not able to read data from the device directly with a serial connection and the Bluetooth connections supported are only ethernet. You can read data over a raw tcp connection with something like putty. You can use AT commands to get the RSSI, these commands can be sent over a serial tcp socket connection.
You should be able to still reach the webpage/telnet with layer 3 mode. You need to make sure the bolt has an ip address in the same subnet as the networks it is connected to.
Here is a screen shot showing putty configured for a connection.
