1.2.1 Model Offerings
The MDS entraNET system includes two primary radio types— APs
and Remotes.

NOTE: A Remote can serve multiple endpoint MAC addresses if the
Remote is provided an authorization code.

1.3 APPLICATIONS
The following sections describe typical entraNET installations. All
installations should be reviewed by a network manager to ensure proper
integration with existing equipment.
1.3.1 Long-Range Wireless LAN
The wireless LAN is a common application of the entraNET system. It
consists of a central control station (AP) and one or more associated
Remote radios, as shown in
communications between a central LAN/WAN and remote Ethernet
endpoints. Remote radios can support multiple Ethernet endpoints if the
Remote is provided an authorization code.
The operation of the radio system is transparent to the computer
equipment connected to it. As such, the system behaves just as it would
in a hardwired arrangement, with respect to data format and integrity.
Over-the-air messages are exchanged at the Ethernet level, including all
types of IP traffic.
Antenna Placement
The AP antenna is positioned at a location from which it can reliably
communicate with all of the Remote radios in the system. Commonly,
this is a relatively high location on top of a building, communications
tower or other elevated point.
Communication Rules
•
A Remote transceiver can only talk over-the-air to an AP.
•
Peer-to-peer communications between Remotes can take place
indirectly through the AP.
