2.2 DESCRIPTION
The Patton Electronics Model 1173R IP Network Camera Extender pro-
vides high-speed Ethernet connections between an Ethernet LAN or
remote PC to a 10/100Base-T IP camera.
Operating in pairs, one Model 1173R is configured as the (L) LAN unit
located at one end of the LAN extension and the other Model 1173R is
configured as the (C) Camera unit at the other end. The Model 1173R is
configured as a L or C via the switch on the rear panel. These units can
automatically forward LAN broadcasts, multicasts, and frames across a 2-
wire voice-grade twisted-pair link. The data is passed transparently
(unmodified) through the 1173Rs. The 1173Rs automatically add and
delete MAC addresses, only passing packets across the link that are
meant for the remote peered LAN.
