Wireless Distribuon System
Deploy ONLY mulple TEW-753DAPs in a single DS
(distribuon system). WDS may not work with other
products due to its non-standard nature�
WDS mode is a non-standard extension to the IEEE 802.11 standard to allow
transparent Ethernet bridging on the staon and to implement seamingless
hand-over for wireless clients roaming between dierent access points.
Transparent bridge is also one of the requirement to some layer 2 services
such as DHCP and 802.1X authencaon. Because the WDS implementaon
dierent from product to product, not all WDS enabled products are
interoperable. You have to use mulple TEW-753DAP to build your mesh
wireless DS or transparent bridge.
You can setup TEW-753DAP on dierent WDS modes for your dierent
network planning.
WDS Bridge: In this mode, the selected interface wirelessly communicate to
other WDS bridges to make a wireless backbone. You can make a simple mesh
network with these WDS bridges. To build a WDS link, you have to list the
neighbor’s BSSID (the MAC address) as next hop packet forwarding. Your neig,
vice versa, has to list your BSSID (the MAC Address) as its next hop. Make sure
all access points are congured with the same SSID as a single DS (distribuon
system), wireless channel and wireless encrypon sengs have to be the
same as well.

WDS Access Point: WDS AP is an outlet of a DS. Pairing with a WDS Staon
you can build a transparent bridge between two DS or from DS to STA. (See
more informaon in “Appendix” on page 53 )
WDS Staon: Pair with WDS AP, you can build a transparent bridge for layer 2
requirements. (See more informaon in “Appendix” on page 53 )
