Configuring the PathBuilder S200 Series Switch for Bridging Operation

LAN Side: The LAN port connection consists of one link. To configure the

bridge module requires that you configure the LAN Port; the LAN Bridge;
and the LAN Bridge Link, which passes the LAN traffic from the LAN Port to
the LAN Bridge (always numbered “1”).

WAN Side: The WAN Adapter (default subaddress 94) is used to make the

transition from the LAN to the WAN. The WAN links are numbered 5 to 36
and provide up to 32 WAN connection links which correspond to potential
bridges. These links pass the LAN traffic from the LAN Bridge to the WAN
Adapter. Refer to the sections on Bridge software modules and links for more
information.

WAN Adapter: The WAN Adapter adapts LAN traffic to WAN protocols. It

also provides other WAN services for the bridge, such as establishing network
calls via a set of configurable records.
