8.5. Wireless Distribution System (WDS) - Bridge Mode
In WDS Bridge mode, the WP201-100 can wirelessly connect different LANs by configuring the
MAC address and security settings of each WP201-100.
l Use this mode when two LANs are located a small distance apart and communicate with
each other.
l The best solution is to use the WP201-100 to wirelessly connect two wired LANs (See the
example).
l Access Points linked by WDS are using the same frequency channel.
l More Access Points connected together may lower throughput.
l This configuration can be susceptible to generate endless network loops in the network.
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 - Bridge Configuration (on page 55) procedure to setup a WP201-100 WDS
Bridge network.
