WDS You can configure up to 16 WDS links for each radio. The wds link
with the number 0 is enabled by default.
Enabled You can enable or disable a configured wds link.
*To enable the specified wds link, select the Enabled option.
*To disable the specified wds link, clear the Enabled option.
SSID Enter a name for the wireless network used by the wds link. The
SSID is an alphanumeric string of up to 32 characters. You can use
the same SSID for multiple wds links, or you can choose a unique
SSID for each wds link.
Remote-mac Specify the MAC address of the destination AP; that is, the AP on the
other end of the WDS link to which data will be sent or handed-off
and from which data will be received. It must be a valid unicast MAC
address with the format of "**-**-**-**-**-**". Acceptable characters
include upper and lower case alphabetic letters and the numeric
digits.
Security Select one of the following Security modes for this VAP:
*None
*WPA Personal
If you select WPA Personal as the security mode, additional fields
appear. These fields are explained below.
Note: The Security mode you set here is specifically for this wds link.
Link State The status of this wds link: Linked or Unlinked.
4.5.1 None (Plain-text)
If you select None as your security mode, no further options are configurable on the AP.
This mode means that any data transferred to and from the AP is not encrypted. This
security method can be useful during initial network configuration or for problem solving, but
it is not recommended for regular use on the Internal network because it is not secure.
