notebook computers. In this way, the SMCWHSG44-G plays a role of “AP repeater.”

NOTE: The SMCWHSG44-G can have up to 6 WDS links to other wireless AP/bridge.

Fig. 73. Wireless Distribution System Settings.

To enable a WDS link:

1.Specify the MAC address of the AP or wireless bridge at the other end of the WDS link.

2.Select the corresponding Enabled check box.

For example, assume you want the SMCWHSG44-G and an AP (with MAC addresses 00-02-65-01-62-C5 and 00-02-65-01-62-C6 respectively) to establish a WDS link between them. On the SMCWHSG44-G (00-02-65-01-62- C5), set the peer MAC address of port 1 to 00-02-65-01-62-C6 and on AP (00- 02-65-01-62-C6), set the peer MAC address of port 1 to 00-02-65-01-C5.

TIP: Plan your wireless network and draw a diagram, so that you know how the SMCWHSG44-G is connected to other peer APs or wireless bridges by WDS.

WARNING: Do not let your network topology consist of wireless bridges, Ethernet switches, Ethernet links, and WDS links that form a loop. If there are any loops that exist, packets will circle around the loops and network performance will be seriously degraded.
