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.
