    Chapter Three Operation Chapter Three OPERATION Start-up “Access Point” Start-up. An Access Point (AP) unit starts and immediately begins transmitting periodic messages, called beacons, on the configured channel. Beacons include capability information that a Client may examine in order to identify if the Access Point is suitable for link establishment. Clients will only attempt to establish a link with an Access Point whose beacon indicates a matching SSID.

In this case, all Access Points have different SSIDs, and none of them have SSID broadcast disabled so that WDS configurations can be made without knowledge of Access Point MAC addresses.
  • Page 37 Chapter Three Operation A consequence of using a different network address for the WDS link between unit A and B is that we now need to configure a routing rule at units A and B so that the D2 W MDME 2400 can determine where to send traffic destined for the respective network addresses of A and B.
