Wireless Bridge - BEC 8920AC User Manual

Wireless Bridge

WDS (wireless distributed system) is a wireless access point mode that enables wireless link and
communication with other access points. It's easy to install, simply define the peer's MAC address of
the connected AP. WDS takes advantage of cost saving and flexibility with no extra wireless client
device required to bridge between two access points and extending an existing wired or wireless
infrastructure network to create a larger network.
Here you can select what role the AP server has, AP or wireless bridge (WDS).
Bridge Restrict: When AP Mode is set to Wireless Bridge, this determines whether the gateway will
communicate with all other bridges or only specific ones:
 Enable: to enable wireless bridge restriction. Only those specified in the Remote MAC Address
the gateway can communicate with.
Remote Bridge MAC Address: enter the remote bridge MAC addresses. Here up to 4 bridge
MAC addresses are supported.
 Enabled (Scan): to enable wireless bridge restriction. Only those scanned by the gateway can
communicate.
Remote Bridge MAC Address: select the remote bridge MAC addresses.
 Disable: Does not restrict the gateway communicating with bridges that have their MAC
address listed, but it is still open to communicate with all bridges that are in the same network.
