2.3 Planning an NCL1170 Configuration
Configuring each NCL1170 correctly is crucial to the proper operation of your network. Review
the flowchart in
Figure 7 before starting the configuration to ensure that you have the
necessary information to configure the unit correctly.
Record your configuration options for each unit in a configuration record similar to the one
provided in
Appendix F . Use the Configuration Data Record to help you plan your network and
keep track of NCL1170 network assignments.
