RadioFrame System
System Description
RFN_3.1 Beta 17
• 2 Standard Battery Shelves (19”)
• 2 Battery Manual Disconnects
2.1.4 Local Area Network (LAN)
The RadioFrame System plugs into the customer’s local area network (LAN)
using a standard Ethernet connection over CAT 5 wiring. The customer’s LAN
may include a variety of equipment, including switches, routers, and gateways.
The RFS connects to the LAN via Port 2 on the front of the NCU. The RAPs
installed in the RFUs support the LAN.
Figure 10 RFS and customer LAN functional diagram.
In the above diagram, an optional “gateway” device is shown between the
customer LAN and the RFS to provide a point of control, thus isolating the RFS
from the customer’s LAN. The gateway may be used to perform inter-network
routing and access control, permitting only authorized users access to the
customer LAN via the RFS. It may also perform service accounting and user
mobility functions.
NOTE: Though not required, the use of a gateway device is strongly
recommended, particularly for use as an access control mechanism to prevent
