2.2 DESCRIPTION
The Patton Electronics CopperLink/L and EnviroNET CopperLink/R
Ethernet Extenders provide high-speed LAN connections between
peered Ethernet LANs, remote PCs, or any other network enabled
10/100Base-T device.
Operating in pairs, a CopperLink/L (local) located at one end of the LAN
extension and the EnviroNET CopperLink/R (remote) at the other end,
these units can automatically forward LAN broadcasts, multicasts, and
frames across a 2-wire voice-grade twisted-pair link. The data is passed
transparently (unmodified) through the CopperLink Ethernet Extenders.
The CopperLink Ethernet Extenders automatically add and delete MAC
addresses, only passing packets across the CopperLink link that are
meant for the remote peered LAN.
