WDS Bridge Mode
In WDS Bridge Mode, the EAP1200H can wirelessly connect different LANs by configuring the MAC address and security
settings of each EAP1200H device. Use this mode when two wired LANs located a small distance apart want to communicate
with each other. The best solution is to use the EAP1200H to wirelessly connect two wired LANs, as shown in the following
figure.
WDS Bridge Mode can establish up to four (4) WDS links, creating a star-like network.
Note: WDS Bridge Mode does not act as an Access Point because Access Points linked by WDS use the same frequency
channel. More Access Points connected together may lower throughput. This configuration can also be susceptible
to generate endless network loops in your network, so it is recommended to enable the Spanning Tree function to
prevent this from happening. You can find information about the Spanning Tree Function on page 31.
