3.3.2 Repeater Configuration
The repeater configuration extends maximum communication range beyond
the radio horizon. An additional pair of bridges is set up at an intermediate site,
one oriented towards each of the end points. Transmissions from one end point are
received by the intermediate bridge facing it, passed by wire to the other
intermediate bridge, and retransmitted to the other end point. This configuration
normally requires directional antennas for maximum range.
Figure 3-9
NOTE: To minimize the influence of obstacles, signal interference or reflections,
install the antennas at least 2 meters (6 feet) away from all other antennas. Use
the straight cable (RJ-45) to connect to the HUB/SWITCHA or use the crossed
cable to connect to the PC’s Network Interface Card (NIC).
