WDS devices.
Access Point
This means the device is working on AP-only Mode, and is for
wireless client users only.
Wireless Distribution
System (Bridge mode)
This mode can help you to group different wired networks to-
gether by multiple WDAP-2000PE. The single system can support
up to 8 WDAP-2000PE in WDS mode.
Additional configurations
for WDS mode
If the device is working on 'Wireless Distribution System (Bridge
Mode)', you must add the MAC addresses of the grouped WDAP-
2000PE to the table.
Peer name: Alias to help you recognize another WDS station.
MAC address: The MAC address of other WDS AP you want to
add into this group.
3.5.8 RADIUS Settings
The Radius server can be used for 802.1x EAP authentication. IEEE 802.1x is an IEEE stan-
dard that is based on a framework that involves stations to be authenticated (called Supplicant),
an authentication server (a Radius Server) that provides authentication services, and an authen-
ticator that provides necessary translation and mediating functions between the authentication
server and the stations to be authenticated. The WDAP-2000PE acts as an authenticator, and it
relays authentication messages between the RADIUS server and client devices being authenti-
cated.
IEEE 802.1x EAP authentication is enabled by selecting the Security Policy as 802.1x or WPA,
and this selection is in the Wireless Settings under Setup Wizard.
