2.2 DESCRIPTION
The Patton IM1/I QuikConnect™ Ethernet WAN bridge module installs in Patton’s copper and fiber base units to provide seamless Ethernet LAN extension. The Patton IM1/I performs the bridging function between two physically separate Ethernet LANs at the MAC level. Operation of the Patton IM1/I is transparent to higher network level protocols such as TCP/IP, DECnet, NETBIOS and IPX.
Once installed in the local Patton base unit, the Patton IM1/I works in a “plug and play” manner to forward LAN broadcasts, multicasts and frames destined for the peered Ethernet LAN at the remote end (the Patton base unit at the remote end must also be equipped with an IM1/I module). Using the Patton IM1/I, peered Ethernet LANs can be linked over leased
2.3 TYPICAL APPLICATION
The Model IM1/I QuickConnect™ is designed to plug directly into the rear of a Patton Electronics baseband modem (i.e. Model 1090 or 1092). The Model IM1/I is designed to be used as one of a pair of units. Figure 1 (below) illustrates a typical Model IM1/I installation.
