To configure the WDS-managed AP group and its links, use the following steps:
1.
Configure Satellite AP1 while it is in stand-alone mode.
a. Connect to the web-based administration interface for Satellite AP1.
If you know the IP address of the AP, enter it into a browser to access the administration pages for the
AP. If you do not know the IP address of the AP, connect to the console port (Baud rate: 115200, Data:
8 bit, Parity: none, Stop: 1 bit, Flow control: none), and enter the
get management
command to view the
IP address of the AP.
b. Log on to Satellite AP1. The default username is admin, and the default password is admin.
On the home page (Basic Settings), note the MAC address of the AP. When you configure the WDS
Managed AP settings on the switch, you must provide the MAC address of the AP.
c. Access the
Manage > Managed Access Point
page.
d. For the WDS Managed Mode option, select Satellite AP.
e. For the WDS Managed Ethernet Port option, select Enabled. This enables the LAN port on the AP to
allow wired access to the network.
f. In the WDS Group Password field, enter the password for the group, for example

h. Access the
Manage > Radio
