LevelOne WAP-3000 - Manual (Page 24)

Multiple WDS group application:
When there are five APs to be join into two separated WDS group, the member of WDS group 1 is
AP-A, AP-B and AP-C, and member of the WDS group 2 is AP-C, AP-D and AP-E, the AP-C will join
both of WDS group 1 and WDS group 2, each WDS Group 1 will be one master and the other will be
slave.
The AP-A and AP-C will be both as a Master AP for both WDS Groups, the AP-A represent for the
master of WDS Group 1, the AP-C represent for the master of the WDS Group 2 and at the same
time AP-C will be the slave of WDS Group 1, so all of the APs in the two WDS groups must use the
same wireless channel and same security, the Master need to fill all of Slave’s MAC address in the
“Remote AP Mac” list, and the Slave need to fill the Master’s MAC address in the “Remote AP Mac”
list, maximum allow one Master can be join eight Slaves to be one WDS group.
In this example, LAN-A can communicate with LAN-B and LAN-C, and LAN-B can communicate with
LAN-C through the AP-A. LAN-B will have the same LAN environment coming through LAN-A.
LAN-E can communicate with LAN-B and LAN-D, LAN-E can communicate with LAN-D through AP-C,
LAN-E can communicate with LAN-B through AP-C and AP-A, LAN-E will have the same LAN
environment coming through LAN-A.
