Wireless Bridge
WDS (wireless distributed system) is a system enabling the wireless interconnection of access
points. It’s easy to install, simply define the peer’s MAC address of the connected AP. WDS takes
advantage of cost saving and flexibility with no extra wireless client device required to bridge
between two access points and extending an existing wired or wireless infrastructure network to
create a larger network.
Bridge Restrict: It determines whether the gateway will communicate with all other bridges or only
specific ones:
L
Enable: to enable wireless bridge restriction. Only those specified in the Remote MAC
Address the gateway can communicate with.
Remote Bridge MAC Address: enter the remote bridge MAC addresses. Here up to 4 bridge
MAC addresses are supported.
L
Enabled (Scan): to enable wireless bridge restriction. Only those scanned by the gateway
can communicate.
Remote Bridge MAC Address: select the remote bridge MAC addresses.
L
Disable: Does not restrict the gateway communicating with bridges that have their MAC
address listed, but it is still open to communicate with all bridges that are in the same network.
