SMC Networks EliteConnect Wireless Bridge SMC2586W-G - Manual (Page 23)

To enable a WDS link:
1. Specify the MAC address of the AP or bridge at the other end of the WDS link.
2. Select the corresponding Enabled check box.
For example, assume you want two SMC2586W-Gs with MAC addresses
00-02-65-01-62-C5 and 00-02-65-01-62-C6 to establish a WDS link
between them. On SMC2586W-G 00-02-65-01-62-C5, set the peer MAC
address of port 1 to 00-02-65-01-62-C6 and on SMC2586W-G 00-02-65-
01-62-C6, set the peer MAC address of port 1 to 00-02-65-01-C5.
3. When you are finished, click Save at the bottom of this page. You will be
brought back to the Status page.
TIP: Plan your wireless network and draw a diagram, so that you know how
the SMC2586W-G is connected to other peer APs or wireless bridges by WDS.
