The 3Com Access Point 7250/8250/8750/8850 supports WDS Bridging, which provides a flexible way to
extend a wireless network. With WDS Bridging, you can increase your network to large, open locations
where pulling wire is cost-prohibitive, restricted, or physically impossible.
This guide explains how to configure a WDS link between two 3Com access points, and describes some
common installation scenarios for using WDS Bridging.
Understanding WDS Bridging Support
A Distribution System (DS) is a network (typically a wired network) that interconnects separate access
points into a single LAN. With WDS, the interconnection no longer needs to be physically wired.
WDS uses the wireless medium to interconnect separate access points, thereby eliminating the cost and
inconvenience that may hinder wire installations.
A WDS link can be used in a simple point-to-point link, a complex point-to-multipoint link, or a
multilayer topology.
Point-to-Point WDS Link
The following example shows a point-to-point WDS link configured between two access points.
NOTE
: For more information on the access points, including complete installation and
configuration instructions, see the
Wireless LAN Access Points User Guide
included on the
product CD in PDF format.
