2.2 Typical Deployment
The PTP 500 Series Bridge consists of an identical pair of units deployed one at each end of
the link. The radio link operates on a single frequency channel in each direction using Time
Division Duplex (TDD). One unit is deployed as a master and the other as a slave. The
master unit takes responsibility for controlling the link in both directions.
The PTP 500 Series Bridge is aimed at a wide range of applications. An example application
is an enterprise that has a requirement to connect together the Local Area Network (LAN) of
two or more buildings as shown in Figure 1.
