Point-to-Point Using RangeLAN2 Infrastructure

You may also use your existing RangeLAN2 infrastructure and network to increase the range and flexibility of communications between Serial Adapters. A Serial Adapter configured as a Station may synchronize to a RangeLAN2 Access Point which has the same Domain and Security ID.

Two Serial Adapters which are positioned out of range of one another, can be set as Stations so that each will synchronize to a RangeLAN2 Access Point. Then, the Access Point(s) will forward the radio signals sent between the units. This allows the units to communicate as if they were actually in range of one another.

For example, in Figure 5 below, Serial Adapter 1 is synchro- nized to Access Point 1, and Serial Adapter 2 is synchronized to Access Point 2. Access Points 1 and 2 are on the same Ethernet network. Serial Adapters 1 and 2 can engage in Point-to-Point communications, even though they are not in range of one another. Access Point 1 forwards packets from Serial Adapter 1 to Access Point 2, which then transmits the packets to Serial Adapter 2.
