Field Description
WDS Managed Mode Specify whether the AP will act as a Root AP or Satellite AP within the WDS group:
WDS Managed Specify whether the Ethernet port is to be enabled or disabled when the AP becomes
Ethernet Port part of a WDS group.
WDS Group Password Password for WPA2 Personal authentication used to establish the WDS links. Only the
Satellite APs need this configuration. The Root APs get the password from the switch
when they become managed.
Note: After you configure the settings on the Managed Access Point page, you must click Apply to
apply the changes and to save the settings. Changing some settings might cause the AP to stop and
restart system processes. If this happens, wireless clients will temporarily lose connectivity. We
recommend that you change AP settings when WLAN traffic is low.
If the UAP successfully authenticates with a D‐Link Unified Wireless Switch, you will loose access to the AP
through the Administrator UI.
