2 Network Considerations

2.2 Bridging and Routing Network Configurations
2.2.1 Point-to-Multipoint Bridging Network
In a typical point-to-multipoint bridging network, (see Figure 5 ) unit A is installed as the
network master, with units B, C, and D configured as stations, each defined by two network
parameters:
• Master ID—which must be the same as the Unit ID for A.
• Unit ID—which must be added to the Remote Station List for A before it can be
recognized as a network device.
If a station has a Master ID that does not match the unit ID for A, or it is not on the Master
Remote Station List for A, it will not be able to communicate across the network.
