1.4.4 SA-10 Station Adapter
The SA-10 station adapter is connected to a station’s network card. When the
station sends a message, the SA-10 wirelessly forwards it to the AP-10. And when
the AP-10 receives a message destined for the station, it wirelessly forwards the
message to the SA-10.
The first time the station sends a message, the station’s address is registered in the
AP-10. The AP-10 keeps only the first address for each SA-10, so the SA-10 will
not work properly if connected to more than one station.
1.4.5 SA-40 Station Adapter
The SA-40 station adapter has four connectors for up to four stations, and features
operation identical to that of the SA-10. As each station connected to the SA-40
sends its first message, each address is registered in the AP-10. The AP-10 only
keeps up to four addresses for each SA-40, so the SA-40 will not operate properly if
connected to more than four stations.
1.4.6 WB-10 Wireless Bridge
As opposed to the SA-10 and SA-40 that connect directly to stations, the WB-10
wireless bridge connects to a wired Ethernet LAN (hub). When a station on the
WB-10’s LAN sends a message that is not destined for a local station, the WB-10
wirelessly forwards the message to the AP-10. When the AP-10 receives a message
destined for a station on the WB-10s LAN, the AP-10 wirelessly forwards it to the
WB-10. In this way, the WB-10 and AP-10 work together like a standard network
bridge.
The first time each station on the WB-10’s LAN sends a message, the station’s
address is registered in the WB-10 and the AP-10. The WB-10 and AP-10 can hold
all the addresses necessary to support an entire LAN connected to a WB-10.
