2.2 DESCRIPTION
The Patton Electronics Model 2174 CopperLink modems provide high-
speed LAN connections between peered Ethernet LANs, remote PCs, or
any other network-enabled 10/100Base-T device.
Operating in pairs, one Model 2174 is configured as the (L) Local unit
located at one end of the LAN extension and the other Model 2174 is con
-
figured as the (R) Remote unit at the other end. The Model 2174 is config-
ured as a L or R via the switch on the bottom of the unit. These units can
automatically forward LAN broadcasts, multicasts, and frames across a 2-
wire voice-grade twisted-pair or BNC link. The data is passed transpar
-
ently (unmodified) through the 2174s. The 2174s automatically add and
delete MAC addresses, only passing packets across the CopperLINK link
that are meant for the remote peered LAN.
