WDS(Wireless Distribution System)
WDS operation as defined by the IEEE802.11 standard has been made available. Using WDS it is
possible to wirelessly connect devices, and in doing so extend a wired infrastructure to locations where
cabling is not possible or inefficient to implement. Please refer to Appendix C for more information.
To create a WDS link the only thing that is needed, is to configure the access points at one end of the
WDS link with the MAC address of the PC card in the access point at the other end of the link. The
following screen captures show the GUIs that are to be manipulated to make this work.
1. Click the
WDS Setting…
2. Select the “
Enable
” the Wireless Bridging and enter the remote site AP MAC address that needs to
have a WDS link. For example: AP1 enter 00:01:6B:40:32:A8 as diagram shown above. Also you need
to configure the AP2 WDS MAC as 00:01:6B:40:31:A0
AP1 AP2
