Access Point
This mode can be connected to
Station
mode, and then forwards all the traffic to the network
devices connected to the Ethernet devices of the Station.
Access Point WDS
This mode can be connected to StationWDS mode. UsingWDS protocol, it allows a client or
station device to bridge wireless traffic transparently.
Station:
This is a client mode that can be connected to the Access Point mode. It is used to bridge the
wireless connection to an Access Point. It forwards all the traffic to/fromthe network devices to
the Ethernet interface. This mode translates all the packets that pass through device to its own
MAC address, thus resulting in a lack of transparency.
Station WDS:
WDS is the acronymof Wireless Distribution System. It can be connected to the
Access Point
WDS
mode. It enables packet forwarding at layer 2 level. Unlike Station mode, it is fully transparent
at layer 2 level.
**Note: for Station WDS, Access Point WDS, Repeater WDS:
WDS protocol used is not defined as the standard, thus compatibility
I ssues between equipment fromdifferent vendors might arise.
Repeater WDS
This mode consists of a StationWDS and an Access Point WDS mode. The Repeater WDS
must first link up with an Access Point WDS, and then it can link up with a StationWDS. It
acts as an extension to the link and can add more Repeater WDS as necessary.
*Note: for Repeater WDS:
ESSID must be the same for the Remote AP and the Local AP.
The channels used will follow the Access Point WDS that it first linked up to.
