Wireless Distribution System (WDS)
WDS allows direct links between access points and or between access points and other
WDS-compliant devices. These are used to create a wireless backbone or to connect an
individual access point to a network that cannot be connected directly to the cable
infrastructure due to its location.
Two alternative configurations are possible. The WDS partner can be configured using the
WDS ID or using its MAC address.
The following graphic shows the implementation of WDS with four access points.
