User's Manual

The Wireless AP supports Multiple SSID which allows it to act as multiple AP appearing in a Wireless

LAN network. You can configure up to 7 SSID on the device.

BSSID

Basic Service Set Identifier. This is the assigned MAC address of the station in the access point. This

unique identifier is in Hex format and can only be edited when Multi BSSID is enabled in the previous

screen.

SSID Broadcast

If you want to disable the broadcast of your SSID, you should check the Disable box. It also calls

Hide SSID.

Channel / Frequency

Select the channel for your wireless LAN in Channel/Frequency block. The default setting is Smart

Select it selects the channel which provides the best transmission quality. The frequencies available

vary depending which wireless mode you select.

WDS Link Settings

WDS (Wireless Distribution System) allows access points to communicate with one another wirelessly in a

standardized way. It can also simplify the network infrastructure by reducing the amount of cabling

required. Basically the access points will act as a client and an access point at the same time.

WDS is incompatible with WPA. Both features cannot be used at the same time. A WDS link is bi-

directional, so the AP must know the MAC address of the other AP, and the other AP must have aWDS link

back to the AP.

Dynamically assigned and rotated encryption key are not supported in a WDS connection. This means that

WPA and other dynamic key assignment technologies may not be used. Only Static WEP keys may be used in

a WDS connection, including any STAs that are associated with a WDS repeating AP.

Enter the MAC address of the other APs you want to link to and click enable.

Supports up to 8 point to multipoint WDS links, check Enable WDS and then enable on the MAC addresses.

Example of a WDS topology:

AP1 <-- WDS --> Master AP (our AP) <-- WDS --> AP3<-- WDS --> AP4
