Tsunami MP.11and MP.11a Installation and Management
WIRELESS NETWORK TOPOLOGIES
You can use the MP.11/a to set up the following types of topologies:
▪ Point-to-Point Link (below)
▪ Point-to-Multipoint Network (on page 7)
A link between two locations always consists of a Base and a Satellite station. A station is a radio set up
as either a Base Station or a (Residential) Subscriber Unit. A Base station can, depending upon its
configuration, connect to one or more Satellite stations. A Satellite station, however, can connect only to
one Base station.
Point-to-Point Link
With a Base and a Satellite station or a QuickBridge 11 kit, it is easy to set up a wireless Point-to-Point
link as depicted in the following figure.
A point-to-point link lets you set up a connection between two locations as an alternative to:
▪ Leased lines in building-to-building connections
▪ Wired Ethernet backbones between wireless access points in “hard-to-wire” environments
