For further information on the AutoWDS feature, see the corresponding section in the LCOS Reference Manual. |
| Hinweis |
|---|
AutoWDS is not supported anymore as of LCOS 10.70. The functionality still remeins intact in LANCOM devices (except in 18xx series routers) and therefore still can be used for existing installations. However LANCOM Systems will not provide any support regarding the configuration and troubleshooting of an AutoWDS scenario. |
Requirements:
- LCOS as of version 9 (download latest version)
- LANtools as of version 9 (download latest version)
- LANCOM WLAN controller or LANCOM router with WLC Basic option
...
1) Configuration steps on the LANCOM WLC:
1.1) In LANconfig, open the configuration dialog for the WLC and switch to menu item WLAN Controller → Profiles → Advanced Profiles → AutoWDS.
...
- The SSID specified here acts as the management network for all access points searching for the AutoWDS network and, apart from the WPA2 passphrase, it offers no further options for configuration.
- The WLC internally connects the specified SSID automatically using a WLC tunnel (WLC-TUNNEL-AUTOWDS). Normal WLAN clients are unable to use this management network.Important:

In this case, enter a custom AutoWDS rollout SSID that is different from the LANconfig default. |
| Info |

| Setting up this AutoWDS base network reduces the maximum number of SSIDs that your device can support on a physical WLAN interface by 1. |
1.4) Under WPA2 passphrase you enter a key to secure the AutoWDS base network.

1.7) Switch to the menu WLAN Controller→ Profiles→ Controller → Profiles → Logical WLAN networks (SSIDs).
