settingsforthelinkapplytotheradioselectedinthisfield.Theread‐only LocalAddress
willchangedependingonwhichRadioyouselectinthisfield.
Note:ThisfieldisnotavailableontheDWL‐3600AP.
LocalAddress Indicates theMACaddressesforthisAP.
ForeachWDSlinkona
two‐radioAP,theLocalAddressreflectstheMACaddressforthe
inte rnalinterfaceontheselectedradio(RadioOneonwlan0orRadioTwoonwlan1).
RemoteAddress SpecifytheMACaddressofthedestinationAP;thatis,theAPontheotherendofthe
WDSlinktowhich
datawillbesentorhanded‐offandfromwhichdatawillbereceived.
Clickthedrop‐downarrowtotherightoftheRemoteAddressfieldtoseealistofallthe
availableMACAddressesandtheirassociatedSSIDsonthenetwork.Selectthe
appropriateMACaddressfromthe
list.
NOTE:TheSSIDdisplayedinthedrop‐downlistissimplytohelpyouidentifythecorrect
MACAddressforthedestinationAP.ThisSSIDisaseparateSSIDtothatwhichyousetfor
theWDSlink.Thetwodonot(andshouldnot)bethesamevalueor
name.
Encryption Youcanusenoencryption,WEP,orWPA(PSK)ontheWDSlink.
Ifyouar eunconcernedaboutsecurityissuesontheWDSlinkyoumaydecidenottoset
anytypeofencryption.Alternatively,ifyouhavesecurityconcernsyoucanchoose
betweenStaticWEPandWPA(PSK).In
WPA(PSK)mode,theAPusesWPA2‐PSKwith
CCMP(AES)encryptionovertheWDSlink.
NOTE:InordertoconfigureWPA‐PSKonanyWDSlink,VAP0oftheselectedradiomust
beconfiguredforWPA‐PSKorWPA‐Enterprise.
Note:TodisableaWDSlink,youmustremovethevalueconfiguredintheRemoteAddressfield.
