Setup guide

Auto option should be enabled in order to establish WDS connection between Access
Points if WDS Peers are not specified (applicable for AP WDS mode only). If Auto
option is enabled AirOS powered Access Point will choose WDS Peers according to the
SSID setting.
Note: Access Point operating in WDS mode and all the WDS Peers must operate on the
same frequency channel and use the same channel spectrum width .
SSID: Service Set Identifier used to identify your 802.11 wireless LAN should be
specified while operating in Access Point mode. All the client devices within range will
receive broadcast messages from the access point advertising this SSID. ESSID: –
specify the ESSID of the Access Point which the the AirOS should associate to while
operating in Station or Station WDS mode. There can be several Access Points with the
same ESSID. If the ESSID is set to "Any" the station will connect to any available AP.

Channel Scan list selection on Nanostation5
Channel Scan List: This will confine scanning only to frequencies selected (applicable
for Station and Station WDS modes only). The benefits of this are faster scanning as
well as filtering out unwanted AP's in the results. Site Survey tool will look for the
Access Points in selected channels only.
Channel list management for the selected IEEE 802.11 mode and specified Channel
Spectrum Width can be enabled by selecting the Enabled option. There are two ways
to set the Channel Scan List - enumerating the required channels (separated by
comma) in the input field or using the selection window which is activated using the
Edit button.
Hide SSID control will disable advertising the SSID of the access point in broadcast
messages to wireless stations. Unselected control will make SSID visible during
