NOTE
When WDS is enabled, you can use a pure point-to-point WDS link by disabling AP functionality. The
IE-WL-AP-BR-CL-ABG provides 8 entities for WDS settings and can support up to 8 WDS links to other APs or
wireless bridges. The list appears when WDS Enable is checked. Enter
the MAC address to set up a WDS link.
Remember to activate a WDS link by checking the Active check box.
WLAN Security Settings
The IE-WL-AP-BR-CL-ABG provides four standardized wireless security modes: Open, WEP (Wired Equivalent
Privacy), WPA (Wi-Fi Protected Access), and WPA2. Several security modes are available in the
IE-WL-AP-BR-CL-ABG by selecting Security mode and WPA type:
• Open: No authentication, no data encryption.
• WEP: Static WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) keys must be configured manually.
• WPA/WPA2-Personal: Also known as WPA/WPA2-PSK. You will need to specify the Pre-Shared Key in the
Passphrase field, which will be used by the TKIP or AES engine as a master key to generate keys that
actually encrypt outgoing packets and decrypt incoming packets.
• WPA/WPA2-Enterprise: Also called WPA/WPA2-EAP (Extensible Authentication Protocol). In addition to
device-based authentication, WPA/WPA2-Enterprise enables user-based authentication via IEEE802.1X.
The IE-WL-AP-BR-CL-ABG can support three EAP methods: EAP-TLS, EAP-TTLS, and EAP-PEAP.
