Wireless Configuration – Wireless Bridge (WDS)
Mode (Point to Point & Point to Multi-Point)
Wireless Bridge is WDS (Wireless Distribution System) operation as defined by
the IEEE802.11 standard has been made available. In IEEE 802.11 terminology
a "Distribution System" is system that Interconnects, so-called, Basic Service
Sets (BSS). A BSS is best compared to a "Cell", driven by a single Access Point
(one of those circles in the diagram below). So a "Distribution System" connects
cells in order to build a premise wide network which allows users of mobile
equipment to roam and stay connected to the available network resources.
Wireless Bridge (WDS) is used for wirelessly connect Access Points, and in
doing so extend a wired infrastructure to locations where cabling is not possible
or inefficient to implement. (Be sure you understand the purpose of WDS mode
before proceed configuration.)
The Wireless Bridge (WDS) mode is coexisting with Wireless Bridge (WDS)
mode in this AP, therefore, you can support regular wireless stations or WDS
link. In the "WDS Link Settings", check box and switch the "Mode" to
"Enable". Then you are able to fill in MAC Address of each WDS link Settings.
