Access Control
WDS Settings
Wireless Distribution System (WDS) uses wireless media to communicate with the other devices, like the Ethernet does. This
function allows one or more remote LANs to connect with the local LAN. To do this, you must set these devices in the same
channel and set the MAC address of other devices you want to communicate with in the WDS AP List and then enable the
WDS.
When you decide to use the WDS to extend your WLAN, please refer to the following instructions for configuration:
The bridging devices by WDS must use the same radio channel.
When the WDS function is enabled, no wireless stations can connect to the device.
If your network topology has a loop, you need to enable the 802.1d Spanning Tree function.
You don
’t need to add all MAC address of devices existing in your network to the WDS AP List. The WDS AP List only
needs to specify the MAC address of devices you need to directly connect to.
The bandwidth of the device is limited. Bandwidth will be shared between bridging devices.
Site Survey
This tool allows you to scan for nearby wireless networks. If any Access Point or IBSS is found, you can choose to connect it
manually when client mode is enabled.
