Specifications

The AN-50 functions as a wireless Ethernet bridge. For all of the testing the IP addresses of the

two radios were set to 192.168.25.2 and 192.168.25.4. The subnet mask was set to

255.255.255.0. The computers hooked to the terminals were given IP addresses of

192.168.25.100 and 192.168.25.200. The subnet mask was the same as for the terminals

themselves. The Redline radios are capable of issuing flow control frames. This feature is very

nice for use with UDP traffic. When the radio runs out of resources it is able to issue a pause

frame to the Ethernet devices attached to it. Once resources are again available a resume frame

is transmitted and traffic flows again. The AN-50 runs out of resources because the Ethernet

side is 100Mbps Ethernet but the RF side can only support 48Mbps maximum. Without flow

control data would be discarded at the input to the radio at a rate of 52 (100-48) Mbps. The

complete system specifications are shown below in Figure 2.3.
