To enable a WDS link:
1. Specify the MAC address of the AP at the other end of the WDS link.
2. Select the corresponding Enabled check box.
For example, assume you want two APs with MAC addresses 00-02-65-01-62-C5 and
00-02-65-01-62-C6 to establish a WDS link between them. On AP 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 an AP is
connected to other peer Aps or wireless bridges by WDS.
