2.2 Bridging and Routing Network Configurations
2.2.1 Point-to-Multipoint Bridging Network
In a point-to-multipoint network configuration, all the NCL1135s in the network must be either
configured as bridges or routers, not a mix of both operational modes. Figure 5 shows the
configuration of a typical point-to-multipoint bridging network.
Figure 5 Point-to-Multipoint Bridging Network Example
In Figure 5, unit A is configured as the network master and units B, C, and D as stations. Units
B, C, and D unit IDs must be manually added to the Remote Station List for unit A. The Master
ID on each station is set to the unit ID for Unit A. If a unit is not in the Master Remote Station
List and does not have the Master ID set to the unit ID for unit A, it will not be able to join the
network.
