Extend the range of your network without having to use cables to link the AccessPoints by using the Wireless Distribution System (WDS): Normally, AccessPoints are linked to each other via cables. With WDS, you can link the AccessPoints wirelessly.

Upon calling the WDS settings, a list of available AccessPoints is displayed. In the left field, mark the relevant WDS-supporting AP with which the WDS connection is to be set up. Then click on Save. Repeat the procedure for all items. The WDS link cannot be set up until all items have been configured.

Use rescan to display all the AccessPoints that are running on the same channel and se- lect the one(s) you want to get a connection.

Alternatively, enter the MAC address of another AP you wirelessly want to connect to into the appropriate field at the end of the page and click Add. It will then be listed in the table. Assign a name to it in order to have it properly identified and press Save. Repeat the pro- cedure for all items. The WDS link cannot be set up until all items have been configured. Up to eight WDS links can be used at the same time.

Tips for configuring a WDS:

AccessPoint 1 is in reach of AccessPoint 2

Identical radio channel and modulation mode (802.11g /11b or mixed) applied to both APs

Enter MAC address of the peer AccessPoint in the table (do it for both APs)

Every AccessPoint in a chain of WDS has to be configured with a unique IP address. This can be done by manually configuring every AP or by switching to get the IP ad- dress dynamically (Primary Settings / LAN IP).

ÆExample: Static IP address:

AP1:192.168.1.254

AP2:192.168.1.253

Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0

SSID:CONNECT2AIR

Channel: 6

APPLICATION

More Range:

Your third floor is not in reach of your AP-600RP-USB: Place another AP in reach of the first one and configure both as being linked by WDS. You will then automatically be able to have access to any of the re- sources that AP1 is related to.
