5. Applications
The Ethernet Extender does not require any software configuration. Users can
immediately use any feature of this product simply by attaching the cables
and turning the power on. There are some key limitations on the Ethernet
Extender. Please check the following items.
5.1 Point-to-Point Application -- LAN to LAN Connection
One set of the Ethernet Extender could be used to link two local area networks
that are located in different places. Through the UTP cable or Phone wire, it
could set up a 100Mbps backbone, but one Ethernet Extender must be Master
(CO mode) and the other one is Slave (CPE mode).
