ZyAIR B-5000 Quick Installation Guide
2.2 Wireless Bridge Application
You can use the ZyAIR as a bridge or router to form a wireless point-to-point or point-to-multipoint backbone connection.
With the bridge mode, you configure each ZyAIR to act as either a central bridge or a remote bridge. For point-to-multipoint applications, all communications between network systems go through the central bridge. See Figure 2 for an example. The headquarters ZyAIR is the CB (central bridge). The ZyAIRs A and B are remote bridges at branch offices. The CB ZyAIR routes or bridges all communications between the ZyAIRs. The ZyAIR is connected to an antenna, through an inline power injector (P) and through a hub, switch or router to a network.
