Page 4: Introduction
The system utilizes an outdoor antenna, lightning protector, and connecting cable. The NCL1100 is a MAC layer, self-learning bridge that supports all Ethernet 802.2/802.3 and Ethernet II Protocols, and Token Ring (Token Ring use has restraints that you must follow). -
Page 5: Installation
NCL1100 Installation & Operation Manual The NCL1100 unit determines its environment at power-up, and builds its own address tables based on the observed activity on the LAN segment to which it is attached. The system is designed this way to minimize the required set-up and user administration. -

LAN before you power up the bridge. Do not power up the NCL1100 system until you make all the connections. If you power it up before you make the connections, you may need to power it down, then up again after you make the connections. -

Also, you can add a standard PC keyboard to execute other diagnostic commands. As the NCL1100 loads, the initial test routines display messages. A failed test points to the possible problem, such as a poor LAN or RF connection on the back of the unit. -

Figure 4: Screen, RF Packets Outgoing As well as the normal display screen, the NCL1100 has a diagnostic utility included. This utility diagnoses the RF link; use it only if the NCL1100 display shows that the RF link failed (no incoming and/or outgoing packets). -

NCL1100 Installation & Operation Manual Figure 7: Display for Local and Remote Sites During Testing Figure 8: Spectrum Analyzer Display of Interference SNMP Installation This section describes how to configure and use SNMP (simple network management protocol) on the wireless link. The wireless bridge includes an SNMP agent that collects valuable statistical and configuration information about the network interface card inside your wireless link. -

NCL1100 Installation & Operation Manual SNMP agent, any SNMP manager (e.g., Hewlett Packard’s Openview, Sun Microsystem’s SunNet Manager) can directly monitor the LAN side of the wireless bridge. If you purchased the SNMP upgrade package, you can use the SNMP agent with IPX and TCP/IP networks. - Page 13 NCL1100 Installation & Operation Manual 2 = TCP/IP (Ethernet and Token Ring) 3 = IPX with Ethernet II frame type (Ethernet only) 4 = IPX with 802.2 (LLC) frame type (Ethernet and Token Ring) 5 = IPX with SNAP frame type (Ethernet and Token Ring) 6 = IPX with 802.3 frame type (Ethernet only)
