2.2 DESCRIPTION
The Patton Electronics Model 2111-CO and 2111-CP Ethernet
LAN Bridge Extenders provide seamless LAN extension between
peered Ethernet LANs with all of the benefits of MAC level bridging.
You already own the twisted pair, why not use it to forward Ethernet
data to another Ethernet LAN -- up to 5 miles away!
Operating in pairs with a Model 2111-CO (looks like Central Office
equipment) on one end and a Model 2111-CP (looks like Customer
Premises equipment) on the other end, can automatically forward LAN
broadcasts, multi-casts and frames across the 2-Wire twisted pair link.
What’s more, the 2111s automatically add and delete MAC addresses,
only passing packets across the twisted pair that are meant for the
remote peered LAN. Higher level protocols such as TCP/IP, DECnet,
NETBIOS and IPX pass transparently through the Model 2111s without
modification.
WARNING! This device is not intended to be con-
nected to the public telephone network.
NOTE: Packages received without an RMA number will
not be accepted.
