Figure 19: WDS Deployment
NOTE
With the single WDS WM-AD, the tree structure for the WDS deployment will be as depicted on the bottom right of
Figure 19. You can also implement the same deployment using four WDS WM-ADs, each for a set of Altitude APs in
the four corners of the building. Each set of Altitude APs will form an isolated topology and will operate using a
separate SSID and a separate Pre-shared key. For more information, see
To configure the WDS Altitude APs through the Summit WM Controller:

topology before starting the configuration process.
