Local Address
Indicates the Media Access Control (
MAC
) addresses for this
access point.
A MAC address is a permanent, unique hardware
address for any device that represents an interface to the network.
The MAC address is assigned by the manufacturer. You cannot
change the MAC address. It is provided here for informational
purposes as a unique identifier for the access point or interface.
The MAC address for the
Bridge
(
br0
) is shown at the top of the
WDS settings page. This is the address by which the AP is known
externally to other networks.
Remote Address
Specify the MAC address of the destination access point; that is,
the access point to which data will be sent or “handed-off” and
from which data will be received.
Bridge with
The D-Link DWL-2210AP provides the capability of setting up
guest
and internal networks on the same access point. (See “Setting up
Guest Access” in this manual.)
The guest network typically provides internet access but isolates
guest clients from more sensitive areas of your internal network. It
is common to have security disabled on the guest network to
provide open access.
Alternatively, the
internal
network provides full access to protected
information behind a firewall and requires secure logins or
certificates for access.
When using WDS to link up one access point to another, you need
to identify within which of these networks you want the data
exchange to occur.
Specify the network to which you want to bridge this access point:
• Internal Network
• Guest Network
WEP
Specify whether you want

encryption enabled for the WDS link.
• Enabled
• Disabled
Wired Equivalent Privacy
(
WEP
) is a data encryption protocol for
802.11 wireless networks. Both access points on the WDS link
must be configured with the same security settings. For static
WEP, a static 64-bit (40-bit secret key + 24-bit initialization vector
(IV)) or 128-bit (104-bit secret key + 24-bit IV) Shared Key for data
encryption.
Key Length
If WEP is enabled, specify the length of the WEP key:
• 64-bits
• 128-bits
