2.2 DESCRIPTION
The Patton Electronics CopperLink Ethernet Extenders provide high-
speed LAN connections between peered Ethernet LANs, remote PCs, or
any other network enabled 10/100Base-T device.
Operating in pairs, a Model 2156 or 2157 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 Ether-
net Extenders. They automatically add and delete MAC addresses, only
passing packets across the CopperLink line that are meant for the remote
peered LAN.
