2.2 DESCRIPTION

The Patton Electronics Model 2112-CO and 2112-CP 100-User 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 3.6 miles away!

Operating in pairs with a Model 2112-CO (looks like Central Office equipment) on one end and a Model 2112-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 2112s 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 2112s without modification.
