D-Link DWC-1000 User Manual 123
Section 4 - Advanced WLAN Conguration
To congure a WDS managed group and its links, use the following general steps:
1. Congure the satellite APs by connecting to the AP management interface while the AP is in stand‐alone
mode. Set the WDS Managed Mode to Satellite AP and congure the WDS Group Password.
2. From the controller CLI or web‐based interface, create a WDS group.
3. Congure the WDS group password. The password you congure on the controller should be the same as
the password you congure on each satellite AP.
4. Add the MAC address of each AP to the WDS group.
5. Congure the WDS links by specifying the MAC address and radio of the AP on each end of the link.
Keep the following considerations in mind when you congure and manage a WDS group:
• Make sure the radios that participate in the WDS link use the same channel. Use one of the following methods
to control the channel:
– When you congure the satellite AP in stand‐alone mode, use the Radio page to set a static channel.
– When you congure the AP in the Valid AP database, specify the channel that the radio must use. By
default, the channel is set to Auto.
– On the Radio page for the AP prole, select only one channel in the list of Auto Eligible channels. By
default, multiple channels are enabled.
• D‐Link recommends that satellite APs do not have wired connectivity to the wireless controller.
• A conguration push to WDS APs may take up to three minutes to complete.
