Operation  

The Linktropy WAN emulator is installed between two LAN segments (or two individual devices) 
using the ports labeled LAN A and LAN B.  The Linktropy WAN Emulator acts as a bridge or 
router between those two LAN segments. Frames 
received on one port are subjected to the 
emulated WAN conditions before being forwarded 
to the opposite port.   

Emulated WAN conditions are configured in the 
Linktropy GUI. To set the emulation parameters, 
use a web browser to connect to the Linktropy GUI 
at the IP address of the management interface. All emulation parameters are found on the 

Link 

Emulation

 tab. Emulation is disabled until the “Emulation On/Off” button at the top of the screen 

is pressed. See the following chapters for details on Linktropy emulation parameters or click the 

buttons on the GUI for information on specific parameters.
