Features
Bridge
Configuration
• Bridge Mode—Used to enable or disable Ethernet Bridging on the
radio. Default setting is OFF.
• Basic Bridge Filter Sel—Sets the type of bridge filter to be used.
Available selections are: Broadcast/Unicast (All), Unicast and ARP,
and Unicast Only.
• Adv Bridge Filter Status—When on, this filter bridges the Ethernet
traffic received from a specific Ethernet-enabled device matching
one of the Adv Src Addr Filter Values (see below).
• Adv Src Addr Filter Val—Sets the Advanced SRC Address Filter
Values. Four address values are available. If the Adv Bridge Filter
Status is on, and an incoming Ethernet frame src addr matches
any of these values, the radio bridges the frame. Otherwise, it is
dropped by the radio. The entry format must be xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx.
Listen Before
Transmit (LBT)
Settings
• Listen Before Transmit—The SD Transceiver provides an optional
collision avoidance scheme called Listen Before Transmit (LBT).
It employs P-Persistent CSMA protocol, which senses channel
usage and inhibits transmission if the channel is currently in use.
CSMA is an abbreviation for Carrier Sense Multiple Access.
