WEP on WDS Links
Table 28 describes the additional fields that appear when you select WEP as the encryption type.
Field Description
Encryption WEP
WEP Select this option if you want to set WEP encryption on the WDS link.
Key Length If WEP is enabled, specify the length of the WEP key:
• 64 bits
• 128 bits
Key Type If WEP is enabled, specify the WEP key type:
• ASCII
• Hex
Characters Indicates the number of characters required in the WEP key.
Required
The number of characters required updates automatically based on how you set Key
Length and Key Type.
WEP Key Enter a string of characters. If you selected ASCII, enter any combination of 0 – 9 , a – z , and
A – Z . If you selected HEX, enter hexadecimal digits (any combination of 0 – 9 and a – f or
A – F ). These are the RC4 encryption keys shared with the stations using the AP.
WPA/PSK on WDS Links
Table 29 describes the additional fields that appear when you select WPA/PSK as the encryption type.
Note: To configure WPA‐PSK on any WDS link, VAP0 of the selected radio must be configured for WPA‐
PSK or WPA‐Enterprise.
Field Description
Encryption WPA (PSK)
SSID Enter an appropriate name for the new WDS link you have created. This SSID should be
different from the other SSIDs used by this AP. However, it is important that the same
SSID is also entered at the other end of the WDS link. If this SSID is not the same for both
APs on the WDS link, they will not be able to communicate and exchange data.
The SSID can be any alphanumeric combination.
Key Enter a unique shared key for the WDS bridge. This unique shared key must also be
entered for the AP at the other end of the WDS link. If this key is not the same for both
APs, they will not be able to communicate and exchange data.
The WPA‐PSK key is a string of at least 8 characters to a maximum of 63 characters.
Acceptable characters include upper and lower case alphabetic letters, the numeric
digits, and special symbols such as @ and #.
