Asus WL-HDD2.5 Switch User Manual


 
54 ASUS 802.11g WL-HDD2.5
The bridge or WDS (Wireless Distribution System) enables you to
connect to one or many APs through a wireless connection. Choose
an AP mode and configure the WDS settings as follows:
AP Mode: AP Mode configures the ASUS WL-HDD2.5 for a spe-
cific purpose. By default, the device is set to serve as an Access Point
(AP only) where a wireless mobile client can connect wirelessly to a
wired Ethernet network. Choose WDS only for communicating with
other APs. Hybrid allows you to use the device both as an AP as well
as a wireless bridge.
Channel: All the Access Points in a Wireless Bridge mode must be
set to the same channel. The channel is set to 1 for WDS and Hybrid
AP modes.
Connect to APs in Remote Bridge List (Yes/No): Select Yes to con-
nect to access points in the remote bridge list.
Allow anonymous? (Yes/No): Select Yes to allow users without
accounts to connect to the AP.
Remote Bridge List: Use the remote bridge list to set up the MAC
addresses of the devices in the wireless bridge. Enter the MAC
address of the target APs in order to designate partners for your
device. Click Add to add the address or click Del to delete a selected
address.
Note: If Connect to APs in Remote Bridge List and Allow
Anonymous are both set to No, it means that this AP will not
connect with other APs and therefore the AP mode setting is set
automatically to AP Only.
