1 Mbits/s and 11 Mbits/s Multicast Rates
NOTE
There is an inter-dependent relationship between the Distance between APs and the Multicast Rate. In
general, larger systems operate at a lower average transmit rate. The variation between Multicast Rate and
Distance Between APs is presented in the following table:
1.0 Mbit/s
Large
Medium
Small
Minicell
Microcell
The Distance Between APs must be set before the Multicast Rate, because when you select the Distance
Between APs, the appropriate range of Multicast values automatically populates the drop-down menu. This
feature is not available if you are using an ORiNOCO 802.11a/b ComboCard or a non-ORiNOCO client with
the AP-600b.
Wireless Distribution System (WDS)
A Wireless Distribution System (WDS) creates a link between two AP-600b units over their radio interfaces. This link
relays traffic from one AP-600b that does not have Ethernet connectivity to a second AP-600b that has Ethernet
connectivity. WDS allows you to configure up to six (6) point-to-point links between Access Points.
In the
WDS Example
below, AP 1 and AP 2 communicate over a WDS link (represented by the blue line). This link
provides Client 1 with access to network resources even though AP 1 is not directly connected to the Ethernet
network. Packets destined for or sent by the client are relayed between the Access Points over the WDS link.
NOTE
This feature is not available with the AP-600a.
