1. It covers details applicable specifically to using FreeWave HT Ethernet modems to create an Ethernet Bridge Please note that this addendum does not apply to the HTP 900xx models of Ethernet radios Please use this addendum in conjunction with the Main Manual The Data Port in a FreeWave HT Ethernet Modem is a 10Base T RJ45 connector to be used as part of an Ethernet LAN Local Area Network FreeWave Radio Link FreeWave Ethernet Ethernet Ethernet Ethernet LAN PC lt 7 Modem a Modem gt LAN PC In order to conserve the available bandwidth the FreeWave HT Ethernet Modems have a MAC address filter Each packet received by the Ethernet interface from the LAN is checked for the destination MAC address against the filter table If the address is contained in the table the packet is not forwarded across the radio link If the address is unknown or known to be across the radio link then the packet is forwarded An address is only added to the filter table after the Ethernet interface positively determines that the MAC address in question is not across the radio link Each entry in the table has a lifetime of 4 5 minutes to facilitate changing network conditions and roaming across networks The HT Ethernet High Throughput Modem has a Data Transmission RF Bit Rate of 867kbps in Point to Point mode 614kbps in Point to Multipoint mode LADO013AB Rev H 3 of 11 FreeWave Technologies HT Ethernet Addendum 900MHz V1 0h B
