IP/Ethernet Polling

Modern data/control networks often employ IP/Ethernet connectivity
throughout the system. The SD transceiver is well suited to provide con-
nectivity between such sites using its RJ-45 modular connector on the
front panel and enabling Ethernet Bridging capabilities. Figure 7 shows
an overview of such a system.

This type of network can also be used for general Ethernet bridging as
supported by the over-the-air bandwidth of the system. Bridge filters are
available to reduce Ethernet traffic over the RF channel, and improve
performance.
