Example of Configuring a WDS Link
When using WDS, be sure to configure WDS settings on both access points on the WDS link.
For example, to create a WDS link between the pair of access points
MyAP1
and
MyAP2
do the following:
1. Open the Web User Interface for MyAP1 by entering the IP address for MyAP1 as a URL in the Web
browser address bar in the following form:
http://
IPAddressOfAccessPoint
where
IPAddressOfAccessPoint
is the address of MyAP1.
2. Navigate to the WDS tab on MyAP1 Web User Interface.
WEP

WEP
) encryption enabled
for the WDS link.
• Enabled
• Disabled
Wired Equivalent Privacy (
WEP
) is a data encryption protocol for 802.11 wire-
less networks. Both access points on the WDS link must be configured with the
same security settings. For static WEP, a static 64-bit (40-bit secret key + 24-bit
initialization vector (IV)) or 128-bit (104-bit secret key + 24-bit IV) Shared Key
for data encryption.
Key Length
If WEP is enabled, specify the length of the WEP key:
• 64 bits
• 128 bits
Key Type
If WEP is enabled, specify the WEP key type:
• ASCII
• Hex
Characters Required
Indicates the number of characters required in the WEP key.
The number of characters required updates automatically based on how you
set key length and key type.
WEP Key
Enter a string of characters.
• If you selected
ASCII
as your key type, enter any combination of
0-9
,
a-z
,
and
A-Z
.
• If you selected
HEX
