3. X gt LAN PC Modem Modem In order to conserve the available bandwidth the FreeWave 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 Crucial High Traffic LAN Environment Requirements FGR 115RE amp FGROG9SE series Ethernet radios that are subject to high bandwidth conditions REQUIRE that some form of physical LAN segregation is employed to ensure functionality FreeWave Technologies Inc strongly recommends that a network device with filtering and routing capabilities be deployed between all radio and hard wired LAN network segments Utilizing this strategy will maximize network operation and reliability Some solutions may include routers managed switches dual Ethernet cards segregated polling environments etc Please contact FreeWave Technologies at 1 800 548 5616 for other solutions details 10f7 LADOOO1AC RevB FreeWave Technolog
