1.4.3 WBC-DS.11 Wireless Bridge Client
The WBC-DS.11 wireless bridge client connects to a wired Ethernet LAN (hub).
When a station on the WBC-DS.11’s LAN sends a message that is not destined for
a local station, the WBC-DS.11 wirelessly forwards the message to the WBS-
DS.11. When the WBS-DS.11 receives a message destined for a station on the
WBC-DS.11's LAN, the WBS-DS.11 wirelessly forwards it to the WBC-DS.11. In
this manner, the WBC-DS.11 and the WBS-DS.11 work together like a standard
network bridge.
The first time each station on the WBC-DS.11’s LAN sends a message, the
station’s address is registered in the WBC-DS.11 and the WBS-DS.11. The WBC-
DS.11 and WBS-DS.11 can hold all the addresses necessary to support an entire
LAN connected to a WBC-DS.11.
1.5 Where to Use DSSS
DSSS technology (Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum) spreads a signal power over
22MHz bandwidth; the same frequency is used for each transmission. This provides
the DS.11 with a fast bit rate and long range links, ideal for outdoor bridging.
By using a directional antennas, spatial separation, and cross polarized
discrimination DS.11 can feed FH (Frequency Hopping) distribution points with no
performance loss.
Backbone links - Our DS.11 Bridge has low latency, which makes it ideal for
backbone links of the WLAN.
Data rates - The DS.11 is ideal for clients that need high sustained data rates or
high burst rates.
Long links - The DS.11 remote bridging capabilities enables it to support clients
up to 15 mile away.
Latency sensitivity - Use the DS.11 for applications that are sensitive to latency.
