Applications

The FLC830E/910E units are can be configured for multiple operating modes. All the modes essentially are used to

extend the Ethernet network wirelessly to reduce the cost to add Ethernet to remote sites or create an Ethernet bridge

between networks.

Base Station & Station Adaptor Modes

The FLC830E/910E can either act as a base station or a station adaptor. As the base station the modem acts as the

center point for wireless communications, allowing modems configured as station adaptors to connect and build a

network. As a station adaptor the modem acts as a node to attach an Ethernet device or LAN segment thru a base

station.

Wireless Repeating Mode

The FLC830E/910E can act as a base station and repeater to repeat the transmission to other units to increase the

reliability and extend the coverage area of the wireless network. This mode uses a half duplex operation mode to

communicate with another wireless repeater and wireless stations. All the units are configured the same with the addition

of the MAC address of units to communicate with, or automatic detection of the MAC address.

Wireless Interbuilding Mode

The FLC830E/910E can act in an interbuilding mode and create an interconnected wireless network. In this mode there

is no central point of communications any unit connected wirelessly can communicate to any other unit in the system

creating a mesh network. All the units are configured the same using the same channel and mode.
