3.5. WDS - Station Configuration
This procedure configures the WP201-100 as a Wireless Distribution System (WDS) - Station.
Important!: WDS Station mode does NOT connect to a regular Access Point.
WDS Station mode uses an SSID, not MAC, to connect to Mesh AP or WDS Access Point.
Example: If a pair of units were previously configured as WDS-AP (Mesh-AP) to WDS-AP (Mesh-
AP),
change them to WDS-Station to WDS-AP (Mesh-AP) and reboot both the units after saving the
configurations.
The reboot will pick up the saved configurations.
Note: See Wireless Distribution System (WDS) - Station Mode (on page 139) for an example of an
WDS - Station network setup.
Procedure
1. Connect to the WP201-100 Access Point (on page 19).
2. Change the Setup the Computer IP Address Configuration (on page 21).
3. Access the WP201-100 (on page 24).
4. In the WP201-100 Access Panel, click Wireless.
The Wireless window opens.
Note: See the description of the Wireless window (on page 191) for detailed information about
the options in the window.
