Wireless Multi-Function Access Point
A02-AP-W54 Pag. 19
4. Broadcast SSID: when enable this function, this AP will broadcast the
SSID to the stations; if the function was disable, the stations must know
the AP SSID in advance.
The range of radio frequencies used by IEEE 802.11g wireless devices is
called a “channel”. Channels available depend on your geographical
area. You may have a choice of channels (for your region) so you should
use a different channel than an adjacent AP (access point) to reduce
interference. Interference occurs when radio signals from different access
points overlap causing interference and degrading performance.
Adjacent channels partially overlap however. To avoid interference due to
overlap, your AP should be on a channel at least five channels away from
a channel that an adjacent AP is using. For example, if your region has
11 channels and an adjacent AP is using channel 1, then you need to
select a channel between 6 or 11.
3.4.3 WDS Links
WDS (Wireless Distribution System) uses wireless media to communicate with
other APs. When you enter the screen of the WDS, there are list of other APs will
appear, click enable in the left side of the screen and click apply to add the AP to
your WDS Link, or click the Add WDS Link button to add the APs that you need
to add.
This WDS Link will scan only other APs channel within the range of 3 channels
among your AP radio channel, two other ways to connect to the APs that are not
listed in the WDS Link.
1. Click the Add WDS Link button, a window will pop out, type in the MAC
address of the AP that you need to communicate.
2. Change your AP radio channel within the range of 3 channels to scan the
AP that you want to connect.
