
TheESTeemHorizoncanbeconfiguredasanetworkrouterornetworkfirewallbetweentheEthernetLANconnectionandthe
wirelessnetworkofremotelocations.TheroutermodesareusedtolimitthenetworktrafficfromabusyEthernetnetwork
connectiontoonlythosespecificIPaddressusedonth
ewirelessnetwork(seeFigure4).TheEthernetroutermode(APRouter)
willallowbi‐directionalcommunicationfromtheEthernetLANconnectiontothewirelessnetwork.TheEthernetfirewallmode
(APMasquerade)willallowEthernetdevicesinthewirelessnetworktorequestinformationfromtheEther
