Hybrid and multiple repeater configurations
Important!! X and Z
must not see each
other as bridge
partners. This would
create a loop around
which data would
circulate continuously,
leading to a blockage
of communication.
The Nokia A032 is capable of supporting
repeater and bridging functions
simultaneously. In addition, it can support
multiple hops (more than one repeater) as well
as multiple bridge paths:
wireless laptop
LAN A
Bridge/repeater
'X'
Hub
LAN C
The above figure shows a combination of
repeater and bridging functions demonstrating
the use of multiple simultaneous functions,
including:
• Bridging two LANs
LAN A is bridged to LAN B via the wireless
bridges, X and Y
• Bridging LANs via a repeater
LAN A is bridged to LAN C using wireless
bridge Y as a repeater.
