Summarized Bridge Installation Procedure
The following list summarizes the procedure for installing and operating
the Bridge Module.
Plug the Bridge Module into the ONline System Concentrator with
the loopback connector attached to the AUI port and verify internal
diagnostics.
Once the Bridge Module passes diagnostics, pull it back out of the
concentrator and set the dip switches to the two channels you want
to bridge (or set these values through network management without
removing the module).
Plug the module back in the concentrator and the Bridge Module
performs self-test diagnostics. Upon completion of the diagnostics,
the unit begins learning the addresses of nodes on either side by
monitoring network traffic.
Connect an ANSI terminal to the RS-232 port on the module faceplate
to configure SNMP values and any optional parameters.
Monitor the extended LAN using the bridge management capabilities
through your connected terminal or via a modem or other interface
providing asynchronous serial communications.
