WDS (Wireless Distribution System)
WDS operation as defined by the IEEE802.11 standard has been made
available. Using WDS it is possible to wirelessly connect Access Points,
and in doing so extend a wired infrastructure to locations where cabling
is not possible or inefficient to implement.
For maximum compatibility, it is recommended that WDS be set up
using only the same models, in this case, WBR-6006. Also note that
the standard only supports WEP encryption.
Select the AP Mode that most suites your desired application.
AP Only:
WDS is disabled. WBR-6006 functions as normal Access Point mode
WDS - Bridge:
Create a WDS Bridge between multiple Access Points, and bridge to only
wired connections. In this mode, the WBR-6006 will not provide service to any
wireless clients.
WDS - Bridge + AP:
A combination of the AP and Bridge modes can create a WDS Bridge
between multiple Access Points, and also accept wireless and wired clients.
Then type in the MAC addresses of other Access Points in the Remote
AP MAC fields. Or you can copy the ones from Scanned AP's MAC
list.
Click Save to save the settings and Undo to cancel.
