Bridge—A device that connects two or more networks to

create a virtual network.

Remote Node—A non-Root Unit that communicates by

radio with the Root Unit.

Repeater—A device used to extend your network’s radio

range. A single Bridge is limited to a specific RF range. If

your system configuration includes nodes outside this range,

you need to add a Repeater for these nodes to

communicate.

Radio Node—A PC, File Server, notebook computer, etc.

that contains a Radio Card, LAN Adapter, or PCMCIA card.

End Node—A Radio Node located at the end of the wireless

radio network structure.

Parent/Child Node—The relationship between nodes on

the network. For example, The Root Unit in the preceding

figure is the parent of the other nodes in the network

structure. Likewise, the End Nodes are the Children of the

Root Unit.

Registration—Each Wireless Bridge on the Radio Network

has a Registration table that controls packet routing from the

wired LAN to the Radio network. This table maintains

entries for all radio nodes below the selected Wireless

Bridge in the network. This table determines data packet

routing.
