SmartWDS Application 

 

Figure 29 SmartWDS 

SmartWDS mode is a private connection protocol. All wireless bridges can automatically connect 

just by the same SmartWDS group ID. There no needs of setting MAC address. 

In the WDS Settings page, choose enable SmartWDS function, input an ID(no more than 32 

characters) to indicate one WDS group. Such as “Bridge 123”. 

The wireless bridge with the same ID will automatically choose one channel to builds connection 

and use private data encryption to communicate. At the same time, the “Channel” and “Security 

Settings” is disabled. 

The largest number of one SmartWDS group is nine. The tenth or more wireless bridge with the 

same ID of other first nine bridges will builds another wireless network which can not connect 

with the first one. 

 

 

All the bridges want to join SmartWDS must support SmarWDS function. 

Outdoor Point to Multi-Point Bridge Application 

In some application structure, there is a wireless bridge as centre point, other bridge access 

network by connecting it. We can this structure “Point to Multi-Point Bridge” just like “Point to 

Point Bridge”, we also suggest you should make all wireless bridge build a network and make sure 

than each bridge work well indoor, then take them outdoor for use. The following should be 

noticed: 

z

 

The settings of centre point: 

Set it as “Wireless Point-to-Multi-Point Bridge” mode, add all remote bridges MAC address 

in the remote MAC address textbox.
