By WDS, two or more LAN segments can be connected wirelessly. As illustrated in the above figure, a pair of wireless LAN-to-LAN bridges is used to connect two LAN segments. Since the AP is WDS-enabled, it can be used as a wireless bridge.
NOTE | An AWK-1100 can have up to 6 WDS links to other APs or wireless bridges. |

To enable a WDS link:
1.Specify the MAC address of the AWK-1100 at the other end of the WDS link.
2.Select the corresponding Enabled check box.
For example, assume that you want two AWK-1100s with MAC addresses 00-02-65-01-62-C5 and 00-02-65-01-62-C6 to establish a WDS link. On the AWK-1100 with MAC address
00-02-65-01-62-C5, set the peer MAC address of port 1 to 00-02-65-01-62-C6 and on AWK-1100 with MAC address 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 each AWK-1100 is |
| connected to other peer APs or wireless bridges by WDS, and how bridges are connected to other |
| peer bridges by WDS. See the following figure for an example network-planning diagram. |
