Figure 48 Roaming
The configuration for Site B is shown below in Figure 49. The WDS is configured with a virtual access point for the
virtual clients configured at Sites A and C. For simplicity, the encryption method and key are configured the same
as the main network.
Figure 49 Site B Repeater Configuration 2
The WDS configuration for Site A and Site C will be exactly the same as Site B except the Connection Mode will
need to be set to
“Client/Station (Uplink)” instead of “Access Point (Downlink).” The main network configuration
settings for all sites will all be the same for each site (as shown in Figure 50). This setup can be replicated many
times which will allow roaming stations full connectivity across the network.

4.9 IP Routing
When a WI-MOD-xxx-E-5W module receives an IP frame that is destined for an IP address on a different network,
it checks whether the network address matches the network address of one of its own interfaces (hard-wired
Ethernet, wireless Ethernet, or WDS) and forwards the frame appropriately. However, if the IP network address
does not match the network address of any of its interfaces, the WI-MOD-xxx-E-5W will forward the frame to its
default gateway. In this case, it is assumed that the default gateway has a valid route to the destination.
