Configuring WDS
A Wireless Distribution System (WDS) is a system that enables the wireless
interconnection of access points in a network. It allows a wireless network to be
expanded using multiple access points without the need for a wired backbone to
link them.
To establish a WDS link, the CVR100W and other remote WDS peers must be
configured in the same wireless network mode, wireless channel, wireless band
selection, and encryption types (None and WEP).
NOTE
WDS is supported on SSID 1 only.
Fragmentation
Threshold
This value specifies the maximum size for a packet
before data is fragmented into multiple packets. If you
experience a high packet error rate, you may slightly
increase the Fragmentation Threshold.
Setting the Fragmentation Threshold too low may
result in poor network performance. Only minor
reduction of the default value is recommended. In most
cases, it should remain at its default value of 2346.
RTS Threshold
If you encounter inconsistent data flow, enter only
minor reductions. The default value of 2347 is
recommended.
If a network packet is smaller than the preset Request
to Send (RTS) threshold size, the RTS/Clear to Send
(CTS) mechanism will not be enabled. The Services
Ready Platform sends RTS frames to a particular
receiving station and negotiates the sending of a data
frame.
After receiving an RTS, the wireless station responds
with a CTS frame to acknowledge the right to begin
transmission.
