MBE10-8 Operation
On power-up, both the local and remote MBE10-8s will connect to their respective LANs. The remote MBE10-8 continuously learns the addresses of workstations on the remote LAN and updates the local MBE10-8 with these addresses (up to 80 addresses).
The remote MBE10-8 forwards all frames to the local LAN that are not addressed to workstations on the remote LAN. The local MBE10-8 forwards all frames that have destination addresses belonging to one of the remote workstations to the link. Broadcast and multicast packets are always forwarded in both directions, unless they are masked out using the filtering tool (see the LAN RANger Series Configuration Guide).
MBE10-8D Operation
Operational characteristics of MBE10-8D are identical, in most respects, to those of MBE10-8, except that MBE10-8D (located at the local LAN) supports connection of two remote LANs (one per link).
MBE10-8D supports up to 80 addresses per LAN providing a total of 160. Broadcast and multicast packets are always forwarded in both directions, unless masked out using the filtering tool (see the LAN RANger Series Configuration Guide). MBE10-8D can also be installed on a remote LAN where one link serves as a backup link to the other.
