Page 12: Getting Started
The Cisco FM3200 Endo radio transceiver Introduction The Cisco FM3200 Endo is designed to operate in the sub-6 GHz range as a wireless data backhaul link. In non-technical terms, this means it is designed to function as an intermediate radio link between a core wired data network and a sub-network.

Page 17: Point-To-Point Wireless Bridge
The network segments on either side of the wireless bridge share the same IP subnet. Therefore, each network host must use a unique IP address within the subnet. © 2020 Cisco and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved. Page 17 of 177...
Page 18: Mesh Network Architecture
In a reliable mesh network with an acceptable amount of redundancy, every stream of data packets may reach the base station through any of a variety of paths. The Cisco FM3200 Endo is designed to act as an 'intelligent router' that is able to forward packets coming from other Fluidmesh components in real time, based on an optimal, software- determined path.
