Install the Linktropy Mini between two
LAN segments as shown in the
diagram. By default, the Linktropy Mini
acts as a bridge between the Ethernet
segments connected to the LAN A and
LAN B ports. Frames received on one
port are subjected to the emulated
WAN conditions before being
forwarded to the opposite port.
Emulation conditions for the WAN link are configured in the Linktropy Mini GUI and operate
independently in each direction. To set the emulation parameters, use a web browser to connect to the
Linktropy Mini GUI at the configured management address. All emulation parameters are found on the
Link Emulation tab. Emulation is disabled until the “On/Off” button at the top of the screen is pressed.
See the
User’s Guide
for your specific model for more details on the Linktropy Mini emulation
parameters or click the buttons on the GUI for information on specific parameters.
Using the provided DB-9 cable, connect the serial port of a PC running terminal emulation software to the CONSOLE
port of the Linktropy Mini-G. Set the serial port parameters to 9600 baud, 8 bits, no parity, 1 stop bit, and disable
flow control. For more details on connecting to the serial console, see the Linktropy Mini-G Hardware Guide.
