NOTE
If WDS Global Control is Disabled
, every WDS link will be closed
regardless of its status.
When WDS Global Control is set to Enabled
, the status of every WDS
link that you want to include still needs to be individually Enabled
.
In the WDS Statistics table:
Each entry corresponds to a particular WDS link and for each link, the
parameters listed are:
WDS Link: identifier assigned to the link
rxTotal: total number of packets received (inclusive of rxUni & rxMulti)
rxUni: number of unicast packets received
rxMulti: number of multicast or broadcast
Although the WDS nodes may belong to different SSIDs, they MUST
be
configured in the same channel and use the same WEP keys (if the
encryption feature is enabled) to be able to communicate with one another.
If the WDS-enabled access points are required to support too many operational
wireless clients, you may find end-to-end throughput to be low (depending on
the applications). For instance, end-to-end latency may become an issue in a
very long WDS chain configuration.
