This segment must conform to IEEE 802.3 or Ethernet Blue Book specifications. It combines high data throughput with excellent immunity to interference. Radio Ranges Because the bridge is a radio device, it is susceptible to common causes of interference that can reduce throughput and range. Install the bridge in an area where large steel structures such as shelving units, bookcases, and filing cabinets will not obstruct radio signals to and from the bridge. Install the bridge away from microwave ovens.
Microwave ovens operate on the same frequency as the bridge and can cause signal interference.
Clear or open areas provide better radio range than closed or filled areas. Also, the less cluttered the work environment, the greater the range. The ability to set passwords and privilege levels. The association table maintains entries for all the nodes situated below the access point on the infrastructure including repeaters and client nodes. The size of a single cell depends upon the speed of the transmission, the type of antenna used, and the physical environment as well as other factors.
