Tsunami MP.11 Installation and Management
WIRELESS NETWORK TOPOLOGIES
You can use the MP.11 to set up the following types of topologies:
▪ Point-to-Point Link (below)
▪ Point-to-Multipoint Network (on page 6)
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 only
connect to one Base station.
Point-to-Point Link
With a Base and a Satellite station or QuickBridge 11 kit, it is easy to set up a wireless Point-to-Point
link as depicted in the following figure.
The Point-to-Point link function 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
