AP/Bridge WDS STA-AP
AP Client STA-AP
To establish a static bridge link based on WDS, the AP/bridges at both end of the WDS
link must be manually configured with each other’s MAC addresses (see Section 0 for
more information). To establish a dynamic bridge link between an AP and an AP Client,
both devices have to be configured with the same SSID and WEP settings. The AP Cli-
ent automatically scans for any AP that is using the matched SSID and establishes a
bridge link with the scanned AP.
NOTE: Although it’s more convenient to use dynamic bridging, it has a limitation—the
AP Client only can forward TCP/IP packets between its wireless interface and Ethernet
interface; other type of traffic (such as IPX and AppleTalk) is not forwarded.
TIP: When the AP is configured to be in AP Client, it can be used as an
Ethernet-to-wireless network adapter. For example, a notebook computer equipped with
an Ethernet adapter can be connected to this device with a crossover Ethernet cable for
wireless connectivity to another access point.

On this page, you can change the user name and password for the right to modify the
configuration of the bridge. The new password must be typed twice for confirmation.
