WDS SETTINGS
WDS Settings
Wireless Distribution System (WDS) allows you to use the Pro Access Point to wirelessly connect to other Pro
Access Points. It allows a wireless network to be expanded without the use of Ethernet cables, similar to how a
repeater works. In WDS mode, the Pro Access Point can function as a Main Access Point which is connected to
a network using a cable, or it can be a Relay Access Point which is wirelessly connected to the Main Access
Point.
To configure WDS mode you will need to adjust the settings for the following fields:
a)
Enable WDS: First you must enable the WDS function to use it.
b)
MAC Address: Enter the MAC address of the Pro Access Point that you wish to connect to. If you are
configuring the Main Access Point
,
then you would need to enter the “Relay Access Point’s” MAC
Address here. The “Relay Access Point” must also have the “Main Access Point’s MAC Address
registered to work.
c)
Comment: Provide a comment, such as “Main Access Point” to easily remember which Access Point
belongs to which MAC Address entry.
d)
Data Rate: Select the wireless band you wish to operate on.
