1.3.2 Point-to-Point LAN Extension

A point-to-point configuration (Figure 1-4) is a simple arrangement consisting of an Access Point and a
Remote unit. This provides a communications link for the transfer of data between two locations.

1.3.3 Backhaul for Serial Radio Networks

One of the primary design features of the transceiver is to provide a path for serial devices to migrate to
IP/Ethernet. Many radio networks in operation today still rely on serial networks at data rates of 9600 bps
or less. These networks can use the transceiver as a means to continue using the serial service, while
allowing the rest of the infrastructure to migrate to an IP format.
A Remote transceiver using one serial port for the data stream, and the other for network-wide diagnostics
can support operational radio networks built with serial-based radios, such as MDS x790/x710, MDS
TransNET and others. In the case of radios using a single port for data and diagnostics, the capabilities are
doubled. The data streams are delivered to an IP socket in an application, or in serial format using the Access
Point. See Figure 1-5 on Page 6.
