WDS Bridge Mode
In WDS Bridge Mode, the SWE 2520 can wirelessly connect different LANs by configuring the MAC address and security settings of each SWE
2520 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 SWE 2520 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 feature to prevent this from happening. You can find information
about the Spanning Tree Function on page 29.
