RADIUS Accounting box to either enable or disable its status.
: To enable RADIUS Accounting on a VAP, the RADIUS Accounting Server Status should be enabled.

Max Stations: This parameter helps to restrict the maximum number of stations that can be associated with each
VAP. A maximum of 128 stations can be connected per radio. By default, the Max Stations value taken for each
VAP is 64. To configure, enter a value ranging from 1 to 128.
: A VAP (already connected to the maximum number of stations) responds to a probe request from a new
client, with a probe response. But it responds to the authentication request, with a proper error code,
specifying the maximum stations limit.

B. Wireless Distribution System (WDS)
A Wireless Distribution System (WDS) helps to establish a wireless link between two BSS and allows the clients of one BSS
network to communicate with the clients of other BSS network. WDS helps in extending the WLAN, where it is difficult to use
the wired ethernet to relay the packets between the networks.
Following figure and explanation illustrates the work process of WDS:
