CHAPTER 3
EXAMPLE APPLICATIONS
Mobile Client Modes (EtherStation, Station Router or Station Masquerade)
The ESTeem 210 can also be configured to function as a mobile client. The client modes allow the 210 to seamlessly roam
between fixed Access Points. The client modes will allow m
obile Ethernet devices to connect to each other or
to an Ethernet
LAN through the fixed AP (Figure 5).
The EtherStation mode is used to connect a single Ethernet device to the ESTeem 210. If you are connecting the 210 to
mu
ltiple Ethernet devices in a mobile mode, the Station Router or Station Masquerade will be required. The Station Router
will allow bi-directional communication between the Ethernet devices connected to the 210 and the wireless network, while the
Station Masquerade will serve as a firewall on the Ethernet side.
Example Applications
Mobile applications where the 210 will change links often between fixed Access Points
