Spanning Tree Algorithm function refer to section 3 9 Router Operation A router joins separate Ethernet networks together The router has different IP addresses on its wired and wireless ports reflecting the different IP addresses of the separate Ethernet networks All the devices in the separate networks identify the router by IP address as their gateway to the other network When devices on one network wish to communicate with devices on the other network they direct their packets at the router for forwarding 24 XYR 300E Wireless Ethernet User s Manual Version 1 5 1 08 As the router has an IP address on each of the networks it joins it inherently knows the packet identity If the traffic directed at the router can not be identified for any of the networks to which it is connected the router must consult its routing rules as to where to direct the traffic to The XYR 300E Wireless Ethernet has one routing rule which may be configured This routing rule is the gateway address The XYR 300E Wireless Ethernet will direct all unknown IP network traffic to this gateway IP address 3 8 Spread Spectrum Operation The XYR 300E Wireless Ethernet operates on the 902 928MHz license free radio band using a frequency hopping spread spectrum technique Devices on this radio band must use a spread spectrum technique to allow multiple users to share the band with minimal interference The Access Point changes frequency hops in a specific sequence
