1.2.2.2 DWL-1800R (RB) Wireless Bridge
The DWL-1800 Wireless Bridge connects a remote Ethernet network to a central network server or Internet site via a DWL-1800 Multipoint Base .
The maximum number of MAC addresses that the unit can handle at any specific time is 1024 and the Aging algorithm is applied at all times.
When a station on the Ethernet LAN sends a message that is not destined for a local station, the DWL-1800R forwards the message to the DWL-1800B. When the DWL-1800B receives a message destined for a station on the DWL-1800R's LAN, the DWL-1800B wirelessly forwards it to the DWL-1800R. In this manner, the DWL-1800R and the DWL-1800B work together like a standard network bridge.
The first time each station on the DWL-1800R’s LAN sends a message, the station’s address is registered by both the DWL-1800R and the DWL-1800B. It is possible for the DWL-1800R and DWL-1800B to store all the addresses necessary to support an entire LAN connected to a DWL-1800R.
The DWL-1800R is the basic unit, equipped with an antenna integrated into the front cover of the outdoor unit.
