MT WDS to Interepoch IWE1100-T

Has anyone had any luck doing WDS to an Interepoch IWE1100-T? I haven’t ever played around with WDS but I went through the steps at “MT Manual - Section: How to make a Wireless Bridge, using WDS?” and I am not having any luck. The Bridge side of the IWE seems to be connecting according to the MT, it shows signal and the MT also shows the WDS become active in the interface list, but I can’t pass any traffic to the IWE and pinging the IWE’s ethernet port from the MT doesn’t seem to work. Also, the WDS test button on the IWE comes back as Broken when you try to run a test. I was told that someone has made this work, so I must be missing something. Any info would be appreciated…

Thanks,
Brad

Just a FYI the IWE1100-A-Pro & -A-Adv works great with MT. I would assume
the -T does the same.

I got it fixed. The issue was that I needed to assign the DHCP server to listen on the Bridge1 interface which was created during the process of setting up the WDS. I also had to set PPPoE to listen on the Bridge1 interface to get existing clients reconnected via PPPoE.
