:
• All the eight VAPs of an interface, can be enabled in WDS mode.
• WDS does not support Dynamic Frequency Selection (DFS).
• Same channel and security settings should be configured on the nodes present at both the ends of a WDS link.
• To achieve better throughput, we recommend you to enable VAP-WDS and VAP-AP on different radios. By not doing so,
you may achieve only 50% of the throughput.
5.4.2 Interface 2
The Interface (Radio) 2 on the AP device enables wireless Coverage and is applicable only to a dual-radio device. All the
configuration properties for interface 2 (Radio 2) are same as interface (Radio) 1. To configure wireless interface 2 Properties,
11n Properties and Virtual Access Point (VAP) Properties, follow the same procedure explained in case of Interface 1.
Tabulated below are the default and configurable operational modes for interface (radio) 2 of AP device.
: The Interface (Radio) 2 of AP-8000-JP (Japan) SKU and AP-8100 can be configured only in 2.4 GHz frequency band (i.e
in 802.11g or 802.11g/n modes).
5.5 Security
The AP device supports the following enhanced security features, that enable you to prevent unauthorized access or damage
to the nodes on the wireless networks.
• Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) Encryption
WEP provides confidentiality for network traffic by using the wireless protocol. WEP encrypts the data portion of each
packet exchanged on an 802.11 network by using an Encryption Key (also known as a WEP Key). When Encryption is
enabled, two 802.11 AP devices must have the same encryption Keys and both devices must be configured to use
WEP Encryption, in order to communicate.

: When WDS link is DOWN, the following behavior is expected:
• If WDS-END-A and VAP-AP are on same radio, then the VAP-AP transmits the beacons.
• All the VAPs on the same interface (radio) as WDS-END-B, stop transmitting the beacons.
• The VAPs on an interface (radio) other than WDS-END-B, transmit the beacons.
