Table 2. Operational modes vs. wireless link types
To establish a
static
bridge link based on WDS, the AP/bridges at both end of the WDS link must be
manually
configured with each other’s MAC addresses (see Section 3.5.1.3 for more information). To
establish a
dynamic
bridge link between a Access Point and an AP Client, both devices have to be
configured with the same SSID and WEP settings. The AP Client automatically scans for any Access
Point that is using the matched SSID and establishes a bridge link with the scanned Access Point.
NOTE:
Although it’s more convenient to use dynamic bridging, it has a limitation—the AP Client
only can forward TCP/IP packets between its wireless interface and Ethernet interface; other type of
traffic (such as IPX and AppleTalk) is not forwarded.
TIP:
When the Access Point is configured to be in AP Client, it can be used as an
Ethernet-to-wireless network adapter. For example, a notebook computer equipped with an Ethernet
adapter can be connected to this device with a crossover Ethernet cable for wireless connectivity to
another access point.
