OPERATION
P/N. DOC- QSG-LM2-2j
Install the Linktropy Mini
2
between
two LAN segments as shown in the
diagram. By default, the Linktropy
Mini
2
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 GUI and operate
independently in each direction. To set the emulation parameters, use a web browser
to connect to the Linktropy GUI at the configured management address. All emulation
parameters are found on the Link Emulation tab. Emulation is disabled until the red
“Emulation On/Off” button at the top of the screen is pressed. See the
User’s Guide
for
details on Linktropy 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

more details on connecting to the serial console, see the
