Spanning Tree Protocol (STP)
Spanning Tree Protocol is a link management protocol for SGT-LD-5-23 bridges which provides
path redundancy while preventing loops in a network. STP allows only one active path at a time
between the SGT-LD-5-23 bridges but establish the redundant link as a backup if the initial link
fails.
STP Forward Delay
STP Forward Delay is the time spent in detecting and learning network tree topology state before
entering the forward state. Default time value is 1 sec. Select Normal if you would like to modify
the parameter (4-30 seconds).

Operating Mode
Four operating modes are available on the SGT-LD-5-23. In a point to point environment where
there are only two radios, Peer to Peer is recommended as it works more efficiently.
Base Station: The SGT-LD-5-23 connects directly to the main Ethernet LAN and receives
connectivity from other wireless devices.
CPE: The SGT-LD-5-23 connects to a remote LAN and the Base Station in it.
