3.2.1 ASYMMETRIC CONNECTIONS
For a variety of environmental reasons (antenna placement, radio reflections, interference, etc.), asymmetric
connections are sometimes formed between BreadCrumb devices. An asymmetric connection is a connection
between two BreadCrumb devices in which each BreadCrumb device is transmitting at a different speed.
When an asymmetric connection is made, the BCAdmin operator will see two lines of the same color connecting
two BreadCrumb devices. The speeds will be represented in the line styles as specified in the BCAdmin Line
Styles Legend above. Transmission direction of each link is represented by motion of the dots or dashes
comprising the lines. (11 Mbps links are solid lines, so their direction in an asymmetric link is determined by
elimination; its direction is simply the direction opposite the other link of the same color).
