LiveU LU200 User Guide

After the DataBridge unit powers up, it dials (connects) its modems to various
networks and combines their bandwidth into a single consolidated broadband
uplink and downlink connection:
•
Transmitting Data: The DataBridge unit receives data from the user data
equipment through its user port and transmits it over the aggregated
bandwidth.
•
Receiving Data: The DataBridge device receives incoming data through
its aggregated bandwidth, and outputs it through its user port to the user
data equipment.
DataBridge Gateway
The DataBridge Gateway server is located in the cloud, and receives various
streams of data from the DataBridge unit through its network port, which is
connected to standard Internet. The DataBridge Gateway server runs multiple
remote connection instances. Each remote connection instance recombines the
streams received from a specific DataBridge unit into a discrete high-quality
data stream.
DataBridge Unit
Each DataBridge unit streams to a specific remote connection instance on the
DataBridge Gateway. The DataBridge Gateway can service up to 100
DataBridge units simultaneously.
The DataBridge unit:
•
Employs proprietary algorithms to simultaneously break down and transmit
data over multiple modems and to bond the data received over its multiple
modems.
•
Performs Layer 2 bridging by learning Layer 2 source addresses and
forwarding according to Layer 2 destination MAC addresses.
An LU200 working as a DataBridge unit operates in DataBridge mode. For
more details, see the DataBridge Mode section on page 53.
