Installation 2 - 7
Channel-Select Switch Settings
All ONline media modules are equipped with the technology to work with
the ONline System Concentrator's unique TriChannel Architecture. This
architecture lets you assign the module to any of three channels on the
ONline System Concentrator backplane. Refer to Chapter 1 in the ONline
System Concentrator Installation and Operation Guide for a complete
discussion of ONline's TriChannel Architecture.
The channel-select switches on the Bridge Module enable you to assign the
module to bridge any two backplane channels, or to bridge one backplane
channel to the AUI port on the front of the module. Both channels must
be running Ethernet/IEEE 802.3.
Switch 1 is factory-set to the Off position and switches 2, 3, and 4 are
factory-set to the On position. Therefore, the Bridge Module is initially
configured to bridge the AUI port on the front of the module to backplane
channel 1. The default settings are highlighted in the Table2-2. To
configure the module to bridge different channels, refer to the info rmation
in Table2-2.
If you have an ONline network management module installed in you r
concentrator, you can remotely override these switch settings. Refer to the
appropriate ONline Management Module Installation and Operation Guide
for information on remotely managing the ports.
