Page 25: Features And Functional Overview
" " " " " This section describes the 6710 Access Point and how it operates on the open wireless LAN. This section also describes access point components. Description The 6710 Access Point provides transparent, wireless communications between a wired Ethernet LAN and wireless stations.
Page 26: Bridging Functionality
Bridges are common components in wired LANs. Bridges are devices that join two or more LAN segments. This provides the appearance of a single LAN segment to the protocols and applications that operate within the LAN. 6710 Access Point User’s Guide Bridging Port 2 Port 3...
Page 27 Generally, if a bridge receives a frame for an unknown destination address on any one port, it floods the frame on all other ports. Features and Functional Overview " 6710 Access Point User’s Guide...

Page 29: Forwarding
These stations wake up periodically to receive messages that may have arrived while their radio was powered down. The bridging software provides a pending message delivery service, allowing frames to be held until the station is ready to receive them. 6710 Access Point User’s Guide...
Page 30: Flooding Configurations
Two of the wireless media supported in the access point — synthesized UHF (S-UHF) and 900 MHz — provide reliable attach mechanisms, which guarantee that wireless stations are always in the access point’s forwarding database.

Page 325: Access Point
" " Access Point Access points provide the following functions: A wired bridge is an access point that attaches to the " network through an Ethernet link and has bridging enabled (through access point configuration menus). A wired bridge converts wireless LAN frames to Ethernet frames, and Ethernet frames to wireless LAN frames.
Page 326 Designated Bridge Access points physically connected to a secondary physical LAN, and within the radio coverage area of an access point on the distribution LAN, are candidates to become the des- ignated bridge for the secondary LAN. The designated...

Page 328 Hop is used in vector distance routing and is equal to one data link. A path to the final destination on a net is a se- ries of hops away from the origin. Inbound Frames Frames sent toward the distribution LAN are inbound. Glossary-4 6710 Access Point User’s Guide...

Page 332 The root subnet is the Ethernet segment to which the access point super root connects, which is the distribution LAN. For Enterprise OWL, the root subnet is the Ethernet link of the access point that originates an IP tunnel, which is the super root. Secondary Ethernet LAN A secondary Ethernet LAN is an Ethernet segment that con- nects to the distribution LAN through a wireless link.

Page 334: Wireless Stations
Wireless Stations Wireless stations is an inclusive term that refers to network terminals and wireless computers equipped with wireless NICs. Network terminals include the INTERMEC RT1100 Radio Terminal, RT1700 Radio Terminal, and RT5900 Radio Terminal, and the TRAKKER ANTARES products. Wireless computers include the INTERMEC JANUS, PEN*KEY 6400 Computer, and PEN*KEY 6550 Computer.
