The following table explains the fields of the Access Point Status screen.
Configure a Wireless Distribution System
The UTM9S or UTM25S can function as a station (peer) in a Wireless Distribution System
(WDS). WDS enables expansion of a wireless network through two or more access points
that are interconnected and that use the same radio channel and security mode.
WDS is supported in any of the security modes (see Wireless Security Profiles on page 585).
If you configure the access point for WEP, then WDS works in WEP mode; if you configure
the access point for WPA2, then WDS works in WPA2 mode, and so on. If you configure
