Parameter Meaning
VLAN Mode Sets the network ID of the VLAN associated with this WDS
connection.
Untagged port
This is dened as an untagged LAN port. The AirStation transfers
only network communication frames with a preset VLAN ID to this
LAN port. The VLAN ID must also be set at the same time.
Tagged port
This is dened as the tagged LAN port. The AirStation transfers
all network communication frames to this LAN port. During this
transfer, a VLAN tag compliant with IEEE802.1Q is inserted.
VLAN ID This must be set only when “Untagged port” is specied for the
VLAN mode. This species the VLAN network associated with the
WDS connection. Communication with networks and LAN ports
having dierent VLAN numbers is not possible.
Encryption Species the encryption protocol used for the WDS connection.
None
Encryption is not used for communication in WDS connections.
When communication is not encrypted, a third party can eavesdrop
on wireless communications that are transmitted using WDS
communication. For this reason, use without encryption is not
recommended.
WEP
WEP is used for communication in WDS connections. A xed-length
encryption key (shared key) must be set in both the WDS sending
and receiving AirStations.
AES
AES is used for communication in WDS connections. To use AES,
a preshared key (PSK) must be set in both the WDS sending and
receiving AirStations.
