To support mixed topologies, a Token Ring Bridge would be
installed to support a local Token Ring network and an
Ethernet Bridge would be installed to support a local
Ethernet network. In a mixed environment, the Token Ring
must be the root unit. The Aironet Ethernet and Token Ring
Bridges can then communicate with each other–linking
both types of networks into a single LAN.
If the existing network to which you are connecting the
Wireless Bridge is not Token Ring or Ethernet based, you
can install a Token Ring or Ethernet Network Interface Card
(NIC) in the file server or third-party Bridge to
accommodate other network topologies.
