WavePro™ WP201 Access Point: User Manual
8.4. Wireless Distribution System (WDS) - AP Mode
The WP201-100 WDS AP mode allows wireless connections to the WP201-100 using WDS
technology.
In this mode, configure the MAC addresses in both WP201-100 Access Points to enlarge the
wireless area by enabling WDS Link settings.
Available connection options could be:
l WDS-AP to WDS-AP
l WDS-Bridge to WDS-Bridge
l WDS-AP to WDS-Bridge
Important!: WDS supports a maximum of four (4) AP MAC addresses.
In a WDS network, the MAC addresses for direct connections must be in the MAC address tables of
the devices that are to communicate directly.
Caution: DO NOT enter all MAC address in all the MAC address tables.
This is to avoid creating a loop within the WDS WP201-100 network.
Example
Note: Use the WDS - Access Point Configuration (on page 48) procedure to setup a WP201-100
WDS Access Point network.
