xvi Ethernet or Token Ring Bridge
The Token Ring Bridge can attach directly to Shielded Twisted Pair
(STP) or Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP) Token Ring LAN segments.
These segments must conform to IEEE 802.5.
If the existing infrastructure to which the Bridge is to be attached is not
Ethernet or Token Ring-based, an Ethernet or Token Ring segment can
be added by installing an Ethernet or Token Ring Network Interface
Card (NIC) in the File Server or by adding a third-party Bridge.
The Bridge appears as an Ethernet or Token Ring node and performs a
routing function by moving packets from the wired LAN to remote
workstations (personal computers, laptops and hand held computing
devices) on the Wireless Infrastructure.
Protocols Supported
Protocols supported:
n TCP/IP based protocol products
n SNMP Protocol – The resident agent is compliant with the MIB-I
and MIB-II standards, TCP/IP based internets, as well as a custom
MIB for specialized control of the system.
Radio Characteristics
The Ethernet or Token Ring Bridge uses a radio modulation technique
known as Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum transmission (DSSS). It
combines high data throughput with excellent immunity to interference.
The Bridge operates in the 2.4 GHz license-free Industrial Scientific and
Medical (ISM) band. Data is transmitted over a half-duplex radio chan-
nel operating at up to 2 Megabits per second (Mbps) rate for the BR100
and BRE100 Series or 11 Megabits per second (Mbps) rate for the
BR500 and BRE500 Series.
