Chapter 3. Network Topologies
This chapter describes several com m on t ypes of installat ions
im plem ent ed by using the EKI - 6311gs line of Out door Wireless System .
This is by no m eans intended t o be an exhaustive list of all possible
configurations, but rat her shows exam p l es o f som e of t h e m o r e co m m o n
im plem ent at ions. The EKI - 6311g CB can be configured to function as a
Wireless Client Rout er or Bridge to a central access point like the

The EKI-6311g CB performs in either router or bridge mode. In a
Point-to-Multipoint topology, all communication between network systems is done
through a centralized agent. Among the EKI-6311g Outdoor Wireless Bridge
products, the centralized agent is Central Bridge (EKI-6311g AP) and the individual
network notes may be Bridge (EKI-6311g CB ).
To show the available Point-to-Multipoint topologies, the following examples are
provided.
