Configuring WDS Settings
208 Psion Teklogix 9160 G2 Wireless Gateway User Manual
To configure WDS on this access point, describe each AP intended to receive hand-offs and
send information to this AP. Each destination AP needs the following description, as shown
in Table 20.1.
Table 20.1 Destination Access Point Settings
Field Description
Local Address Indicates the Media Access Control ( MAC ) addresses for this access point.
A MAC address is a permanent, unique hardware address for any device that represents an interface to the
network. The MAC address is assigned by the manufacturer. You cannot change the MAC address. It is pro-
vided here for informational purposes as a unique identifier for the access point or interface.
One-Radio AP:
On a one-radio access point, a single MAC address is shown at the top of the WDS settings page. The
address shown for the one-radio AP is the MAC address for that radio AP. This is the address by which the AP
is known externally to other networks.
Two-Radio AP:
For each WDS link on a two-radio AP, the Local Address reflects the MAC address for the internal interface on
the selected radio (Radio One on
WLAN0
or Radio Two on
WLAN1
).
Remote
Address
Specify the MAC address of the destination access point; that is, the access point to which data will be sent or
“handed-off” and from which data will be received—in other words, the AP to which you are creating the WDS
bridge.
Click the arrow to the right of the Remote Address field to see a list of all the available MAC Addresses and
their associated SSIDs on the network. Select the appropriate MAC address from the list.
Note: The SSID displayed in the drop-down list is simply to help you identify the correct MAC
Address for the destination access point. This SSID is a separate SSID to that which you
set for the WDS link. The two do not (and should not) be the same value or name.
