Wireless Distribution System (WDS)
Wireless Distribution System or WDS, allows for interconnection between access points,
within an 802.11 network, without the need for a wired connection between them. A
significant advantage of WDS is that it preserves the MAC addresses of client frames
across the wireless links between access points. WDS is also valuable because it can
reduce cabling requirements by only needing a single access point (the Root or Base) to
be connected via a wired connection into the network.
The ICX420GAP supports the WDS feature while in FAT (standalone) mode without
being connected to a controller. This section covers the configuration options for that AP
