BreezeNET BU-DS.11/RB-DS.11 1-3 User’s Guide
RB-DS.11 Wireless Bridge Client
The RB-DS.11 connects a remote Ethernet network to a BU-DS.11 Multipoint Base
Station bridge located at a central server or Internet site. It can be programmed to
handle up to 1024 MAC addresses.
When a station on the Ethernet LAN sends a message that is not destined for a local
station, the RB-DS.11 wirelessly forwards the message to the BU-DS.11. When the
BU-DS.11 receives a message destined for a station on the RB-DS.11's LAN, the BU-
DS.11 wirelessly forwards it to the RB-DS.11. In this manner, the RB-DS.11 and the
BU-DS.11 work together like a standard network bridge.
The first time each station on the RB-DS.11’s LAN sends a message, the station’s
address is registered in the RB-DS.11 and the BU-DS.11. The RB-DS.11 and BU-
DS.11 can hold all the addresses necessary to support an entire LAN connected to a
RB-DS.11.
The RB-DS.11 comes in two options: the basic unit comes with an antenna integrated
on the front cover of the Outdoor unit.
The RB-DS.11D has no integral antenna, and provides two antenna connectors (on the
Outdoor unit) for connection of one or two external antennas. Refer to Section
Sections 2.6.4 and 2.6.12 for information on how to select external antennas. When
two antennas are connected to the Outdoor unit, the unit supports the antenna diversity
feature described in Section 2.6.6.
