How-To

WDS with SMCWEBS-N

 

 

 

Figure 1 

 
 
 

 

SMCWEBS-N (1) will connect to the rest of SMCWEBS-N but it will not accept 
wireless clients directly. This device will need the MAC addresses of devices (1), (2) 
and (3). 

 

SMCWEBS-N (2) will connect to SMCWEBS-N (1) and at the same time will provide 
wireless connectivity to wireless clients (laptops, PDAs, etc). In SMCWEBS-N (2) it 
will be needed to enter the MAC address of the SMCWEBS-N (1). 

 

SMCWEBS-N (3) & (4) will connect to SMCWEBS-N (1) without need of configuring 
any MAC address. They will also provide connectivity to wireless devices (laptops, 
PDAs, etc).
