Section 4 - Advanced WLAN Conguration

To congure a WDS managed group and its links, use the following general steps:

1. Congure 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 congure the WDS Group Password.

2. From the controller CLI or web‐based interface, create a WDS group.

3. Congure the WDS group password. The password you congure on the controller should be the same as

the password you congure on each satellite AP.

4. Add the MAC address of each AP to the WDS group.

5. Congure 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 congure 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 congure the satellite AP in stand‐alone mode, use the Radio page to set a static channel.

– When you congure 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 prole, 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 conguration push to WDS APs may take up to three minutes to complete.
