IR-ETH Interface Module
IR-ETH is an interface module for RAD modems, used for converting the Ethernet
(10BaseT or 10Base2) electrical levels to the modem TTL levels. It also converts the
Ethernet protocol to HDLC to enable long-distance transmission and avoid the
Ethernet collision limitation.
IR-ETH includes an internal, self-learning Ethernet bridge, which enables a high
performance link between two Ethernet segments at a low transmission rate. The
low-speed HDLC transmission is sent over the link using the modem modulation
technique. It is converted back to an Ethernet signal at the remote modem.
Figure A-1 shows a typical application using an Ethernet interface bridge. Each
modem is connected to an Ethernet network via the Ethernet interface bridge.
