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