Security Features
The Ethernet or Token Ring Bridge employs Spread Spectrum Technol-
ogy, previously developed for military “anti-jamming” and “low proba-
bility of intercept” radio systems.
The Ethernet or Token Ring Bridge must be set to the same System Iden-
tifier (SSID) as all other Aironet devices on the wireless infrastructure.
Units with a different SSID will not be able to directly communicate
with each other.
