2.9. airClient TOTAL Bridge Configuration (sB3415-03 only)
This section is only valid for the sB3415-03 model.
The sB3415-03 can be configured in both WDS and non-WDS modes, while in Bridge Mode. In WDS
mode, 3415 functions as a transparent bridge. In non-WDS client bridge mode, 3415 can be configured
for both non-transparent and transparent bridging.
This section covers the configuration of the sB3415-03 in all possible bridge modes.
2.9.1. WDS Bridge Mode
Wireless Distribution System (WDS) is a system that provides a means to extend the range of Wireless
Local Area Network. To create a WDS link, the peer MAC addresses need to be exchanged and all
stations in WDS should be configured to use the same radio channel and configured to use the same
WEP keys, if they are used.
The sB3415-03 can be configured to operate in the WDS Bridge Mode. The airClient TOTAL in WDS
Bridge mode can associate only with a smartBridges airPoint access point in bridge mode, as they both
use WDS link implementation.
