Page 93: Figure 30: Example Of Radio And Channel Assignments In A Wds Bridge
Chapter 5: Wireless Distribution System Bridges Additionally, because the access points have to use the same channel, you have to select the channel manually, instead of using the default auto channel setting. In the example in Figure 30, the parent and children are using Radio2 and channel 40 for the WDS bridge. -
Page 94: Figure 31: Example Of An Access Point As Both Parent And Child
Connecting the LAN ports on both parents to the wired network might form a loop in your network topology, which might cause broadcast storms. Allied Telesis does not recommend linking together more than two WDS bridges. The LAN ports on the parent connected to the wired network might not be able to efficiently handle the traffic load of wireless clients of more than two bridges. -

for the bridges. The security level can be none or WPA Personal. Allied Telesis recommends using WPA Personal security. The settings must be the same on all the access points of a WDS bridge. To prepare an access point for a WDS bridge, perform the following procedure: 1. - Page 99 Chapter 5: Wireless Distribution System Bridges Note The access point disables VAPs 1 to 7 on the same radio. 10. Repeat this procedure on all access points to be in the WDS bridge. When an access point is designated as a child, it automatically begins searching for a parent on the designated radio and channel.
