1.3.2 AS A STAND-ALONE REPEATER

1.3.3 AS A POINT TO MULTI-POINTS BRIDGE

When configured to operate in the Wireless Distribution System (WDS) Mode, the

802.11A/G ACCESS POINT provides bridging functions between the LAN behind it

and separates LANs behind other APs’ operating in the WDS mode. The system will

support up to eight such AP in a WDS configuration.

Note that an 802.11A/G ACCESS POINT running in the WDS mode can also support

wireless stations simultaneously. See the diagram below:
