WDS AP Mode The SWM 3530 also supports WDS AP mode. This operating mode allows wireless connections to the SWM 3530 using WDS technology. In this mode, configure the MAC addresses in both Access Points to enlarge the wireless area by enabling WDS Link settings. WDS supports up to four (4) AP MAC addresses.
WDS Bridge Mode In WDS Bridge Mode, the SWM 3530 can wirelessly connect different LANs by configuring the MAC address and security settings of each SWM 3530 device. Use this mode when two wired LANs located a small distance apart want to communicate with each other. The best solution is to use the SWM 3530 to wirelessly connect two wired LANs, as shown in the following diagram.
WDS Station Mode Station mode expands the WDS by receiving a wireless signal/service and sharing it through the Ethernet port. SWM 3530 WDS AP n both 5 GHz & 2.4 GHz SWM 3530 SWM 3530 WDS Station WDS Station SWM 3530 WDS Station...
AP Mesh Mode Under the AP Mesh mode, the SWM 3530 can be used as the central connection hub for station or clients that support IEEE 802.11 b/g/n network. Under this mode, the SWM 3530 can be configured with the same Mesh SSID and security password in order to associate with other SWM 3530s, as well as connect with clients under the same SSID and encryption signatures.
Mesh Only Mode Under the Mesh-only mode, the SWM 3530 can be configured with the same Mesh SSID and security password in order to associate with other Mesh enable SWM 3530s, instead of connecting with clients.
