Traditionally, access points are connected by Ethernet. By using a Wireless Distribution System

(WDS), APs can communicate with one another wirelessly. For example, AP 2 acts as an access

point for the notebook computers and it forwards packets sent from the notebook computers to AP

1 through WDS. Then, AP 1 forwards the packets to the Ethernet LAN. Packets destined for the

notebook computers follow a reverse path from the Ethernet LAN through the APs to the notebook

computers. In this way, AP 2 plays a role of “AP repeater.”

Bridge 2

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
