Wireless Multipoint Protocol
Campus Cell PRC features provide multipoint networking, improved performance, and increased
reliability. In multipoint networks, a SPEEDLAN 4100 acts as a central base station with responsibility

retransmitted by this brouter, allowing communications between multiple remote networks by using
SPEEDLAN 4200.
