Configuring WDS Settings

Psion Teklogix 9160 G2 Wireless Gateway User Manual
The following notes summarize some critical guidelines regarding WDS configura-
tion. Please read all the notes before proceeding with WDS configuration.
Notes: • When using WDS, be sure to configure WDS settings on both access
points participating in the WDS link.
• You can have only one WDS link between any pair of access points. That
is, a remote MAC address may appear only once on the WDS page for a
particular access point.
• Both access points participating in a WDS link must be on the same
Radio channel and using the same IEEE 802.11 mode. (See Chapter 16:
“Configuring 802.11 Radio Settings” for information on configuring the
Radio mode and channel.)
•When 802.11h is operational, setting up WDS links can be difficult. See
“802.11h Regulatory Domain Control” on page 142.
To configure WDS on this access point, describe each AP intended to receive hand-
offs and send information to this AP. Each destination AP needs the following
description, as shown in Table 20.4.
