To provide the connection, the Campus-REX performs transparent 802.3
MAC bridging or static IP routing over an HDSL line. You can use existing
telephone-grade copper wiring as the HDSL transmission medium.
This version of the Campus-REX must be installed in a

Campus-RS or Campus-HRS Line Unit. It cannot be installed
in an older Campus Desktop Unit or with an older Campus
Line Unit.
