Chapter 3. Network Topologies
This chapter describes several common types of installations implemented by
using the EKI-6311G's line of Outdoor Wireless System. This is by no means
intended to be an exhaustive list of all possible configurations, but rather shows
examples of some of the more common implementations. The EKI-6311G CB can
be configured to function as a Wireless Client Router or Bridge to a central access
point like the EKI-6311G AP see Figure 3-1 below.
Figure 3-1
The EKI-6311G CB performs in either router or bridge mode. In a Point-to-Multipoint
topology, all communication between network systems is done through a centralized agent.
Among the EKI-6311G Outdoor Wireless Bridge products, the centralized agent is Central
Bridge (EKI-6311G AP) and the individual network notes may be Bridge (EKI-6311G CB ).
To show the available Point-to-Multipoint topologies, the following examples are provided.
