SPEEDLAN 4100 & 4200 Installation and Operation User Guide
2-2 Quick Start
System Description
The SPEEDLAN 4100 & 4200 are high speed, long range wireless LAN brouters that provide
connectivity to remote Ethernet networks. For single point-to-point links, a SPEEDLAN 4200 can be
used in each building to create a wireless communication link. For multipoint links, a SPEEDLAN
4100 acts as the central base station, which controls the communication between multiple
SPEEDLAN 4200 brouters acting as CPE. The local brouter communicates with a remote brouter on
another LAN. This effectively creates an extended wireless network, spanning sites situated up to 25
miles apart. This enables a central Ethernet LAN to be connected with one or more branch office
LANs. A single brouter with an omnidirectional antenna, may communicate with multiple brouters to
create multipoint wireless site-to-site connectivity.
Rooftop and Tower Installations Warning
Rooftop, tower and mounted equipment (brouters) installations are extremely dangerous and
incorrect installation can result in death, injury, or property damage.
These installations must be
performed by professional antenna installers only.
