Ethernet or Token Ring Bridge xxi

Bridge System Conﬁgurations

The Ethernet or Token Ring Bridge can be used in a variety of infra-

structure conﬁgurations. How you conﬁgure your infrastructure will

determine the size of the microcell, which is the area a single Bridge

will provide with RF coverage. You can extend the RF coverage area by

creating multiple microcells on a LAN.

Examples of some common system conﬁgurations are shown on the

pages that follow, along with a brief description of each.

NOTE: In the following ﬁgures, you may use either a Token Ring Bridge or

an Ethernet Bridge. The Bridges will do the necessary conversions. How-

ever, if a Token Ring Bridge is used, the root unit must also be a Token

Ring Bridge.
