An access point acting as the wireless domain services (WDS) on your wireless LAN maintains a cache of credentials for CCKM-capable client devices on your wireless LAN. When a CCKM-capable client roams from one access point to another, the WDS forwards the client's credentials to the new access point. Only two packets pass between the client and the new access point, greatly shortening the reassociation time. The WDS also forwards wireless LAN statistics to the Wireless LAN Solutions Engine (WLSE).

Wireless Services: AP

Choose to either enable or disable wireless services.

WDS Discovery

If you use one main WDS device on your network, select Specified Discovery and enter the IP address of the WDS device in the entry field. When you enable Specified Discovery, the access point immediately authenticates with the WDS device instead of waiting for WDS advertisements. If the WDS device that you specify does not respond, the access point waits for WDS advertisements.
