To setup a wireless backbone follow the steps below for each AP-600b that you wish to include in the Wireless
Distribution System.
1. Confirm that Auto Channel Select is disabled.
2. Write down the MAC Address of the radio that you wish to include in the Wireless Distribution System.
3. Open the
Wireless Interface Configuration
screen.
4. Scroll down to the Wireless Distribution System heading.
5. Click the Edit button to update the Wireless Distribution System (WDS) Table.
6. Enter the MAC Address that you wrote down in Step 2 in one of the Partner MAC Address field of the Wireless
Distribution Setup window.
7. Set the Status of the device to Enable.
8. Click OK

To set up a Wireless Distribution System (WDS) with 802.1x, set each Access Point’s 802.1x Security Mode to
Mixed and assign each unit in the WDS the same Encryption Key 1. See Security.
Ethernet
Select the desired speed and transmission mode from the drop-down menu. Half-duplex means that only one side can
transmit at a time and full-duplex allows both sides to transmit. When set to auto-duplex, the AP-600 negotiates with its
switch or hub to automatically select the highest throughput option supported by both sides.
For best results, Proxim recommends that you configure the Ethernet setting to match the speed and transmission
mode of the device the Access Point is connected to (such as a hub or switch). If in doubt, leave this setting at its
default, auto-speed-auto-duplex. Choose between:
• 10 Mbit/s - half duplex, full duplex, or auto duplex
• 100 Mbit/s - half duplex, full duplex, or auto duplex
• auto speed - half duplex or auto duplex
