Repeating
You have the option to enable or disable repeating. When
repeating is enabled, the RangeLAN2 Ethernet Adapter, set as a
Master, will repeat any signal coming from one Station and
destined for another Station, when the two Stations are both
within range of the Master, but not within range of one another.
The advantage of repeating is the ability to double the effective
range of the RangeLAN2 network. However, be aware that by
enabling the repeating feature, the network throughput will drop
by as much as one-half when repeating occurs. When repeating
is disabled, the RangeLAN2 Ethernet Adapter will not repeat the
signals of Stations synchronized to it. By default, repeating is
disabled.
