1: Daisy Chain :
Daisy chain is nothing but used like relay for extending a Point to Point link to increase the distance. In this mode, both nodes should be configured in the same mode at the same location. Exp: if location A configured with Master then daisy chain radio must be configured in master mode. See below picture to understating clearly.
2: Ring Configuration:
The ring stands for a redundant wireless path to avoiding network down depending on the single point to point connectivity. In-Ring use multiple radios to create a ring path if one path will down then the network will be connected through other paths without goes down. One AirFiber radio will configure as Master and the second configure as Slave.
