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.
