Specify the type of WDS communication.
– MAC Address
The MAC address is used. The "Partner WDS ID" input box is grayed out. In "Partner
MAC", enter the MAC address of the WDS partner.
– WDS ID
The WDS ID is used. The "Partner MAC" input box is grayed out. In "Partner WDS
ID", enter the WDS ID of the WDS partner. Use this option if you want to replace the
access point later using the C-PLUG or KEY-PLUG.

Enter the MAC address of the WDS partner.
●
Enter the WDS ID of the WDS partner.
For the WDS ID, ASCII code 0x20 to 0x7e is used.
Note
Matching security settings in WDS mode
In WDS mode, make sure that the security settings match up for all devices involved. If
settings are incorrect or not co
mpatible on the individual devices, no data exchange is
possible due to incorrect authentication. Avoid the "Auto" setting in the "Security Settings"
tab of the Basic Wizard, because with this setting, synchronization of the security settings
between the a
ccess points is not possible.
Note
In WDS operation, the following restrictions apply to all access points involved:
All access points that will communicate with each other must use the same channel, the
same transmission procedure and the same data rate.
You can select either WEP or WPA(2)-PSK as the encryption method.
You configure the security settings in the assigned VAP interface: "Security > WLAN >
Basic"
You cannot use authentication with a RADIUS server for a WDS connection.
In the IEEE 802.11h transmission mode, it is not practical to select the WDS mode. In
WDS mode, all access points must use the same channel. If a signal from a primary user
is detected by an access point, the channel is changed automatically and the existing
connection is then terminated.
1. Select the required VAP interface from the "Connection over"drop-down list.
2. Select the entry "WDS ID" from the "Partner ID Type"drop-down list.
3. In the "WDS ID" input box, enter the WDS ID of the WDS partner. The "Partner MAC"
input box is grayed out.
4. Click the "Set Values" button.
