1. Introduction
®
Tahoe 2 83 converter allows connecting of two LANs through an
E1 line terminated with balanced G.703 interfaces.
Converters work as transparent bridges, that is both
interconnected networks appear as a single LAN, as if both were plugged
into the same Ethernet switch.
Converter automatically learns, which Ethernet addresses are
heard on one and which on the other side. As a result local traffic is not
sent through the WAN link - converter discovers packets destined for the
other LAN and only those are directed to the G.703 interface.
