Infrastructure for Bridging between LANs
SMC's EZ Connect Wireless Access Point/Bridge can serve as a
high-speed wireless bridge that allows two or more remote Ethernet LANs
to be merged into a single virtual LAN. To connect the separated wired
LANs, there are two settings for the Wireless Bridge: "Bridge Master" and
"Bridge Slave." (see page 14.)
Bridges serving as local units are connected to the primary backbone
infrastructure and are set to "Bridge Master." Those acting as remote
Bridges, attached to a remote backbone and communicating via radio to
the local unit, are set to "Bridge Slave."
Point-to-Point Wireless Bridge
The Point-to-Point Wireless configuration uses two Wireless Bridge units
to connect two individual LANs.
