ET100/NRZ LAN-WAN Bridge
1.5 Theory of Operation
A bridge is used to connect networks locally or remotely such that they appear to the user to be the same
network. An Ethernet LAN bridge will connect two LAN segments at the Data Link Layer (ISO Layer 2).
At this layer, the MAC (Media Access Control) addresses are used for low level addressing to send
information to devices. The bridge builds tables of MAC addresses for each network segment based on the
source and destination addresses of the packets it receives and forwards, then filters the traffic not destined
for the remote network.
The Ethernet-WAN bridge will connect two remote Ethernet networks over bit stream interfaces such as
that of modems or DSU/CSUs. One method to do this is to use HDLC, an international standard set by the
ISO, a set of protocols for carrying data over a link with error detection/correction and flow control.
The ET100/NRZ utilizes both Ethernet Bridging and HDLC encapsulation to provide a connection
between LANs over bit stream architectures. The LAN side of the ET100/NRZ receives an Ethernet
packet and examines its destination MAC address. If it knows the MAC is on the local network then it
simply drops the packet. Otherwise, if it knows the packet destination is on the remote side, or if it cannot
be determined because its MAC cannot be found in the table, then it forwards it. During forwarding, the
packet is processed for transmission across the WAN link. Here is where the Ethernet packet is
encapsulated in HDLC.
When the HDLC packet is received on the remote side unit's data port, the packet is checked for
transmission errors, then the original Ethernet packet(s) is recovered and sent out the remote's LAN port
completing the transmission. Here is the typical application of the ET100/NRZ.
Figure 5. Typical application of ET100/NRZ LAN-WAN Bridge.
In the above application, the ET100/NRZ provides LAN bridging between two LAN segments using an
NRZ transmission network.

1.6 DIP Switch Setting Tables:
When the ET100/NRZ is set to internal clock (SW3 3&4 OFF), then SW2-1 to SW2-5 may be used to
configure the data rate and TX Timing signal's speed. If SW3 3 is ON and 4 is OFF, then all SW2-1 to
SW2-5 are ignored and the unit operates by recovering the clock from the NRZ's RX Timing. SW2 3&4
OFF is the normal mode for connecting to existing NRZ that supplies clocking. In this mode the TX
Timing signal is the loop back timing from the RX Timing signal.

ET100/NRZ LAN-WAN Bridge
Filter:
When this feature is disabled, all frames are passed transparently. In this configuration, the
ET100/NRZ acts as a repeater. When the filter is enabled, frame destinations are tested against the
internal MAC address table. Filtering enabled is the normal selection for Bridging but is usually disabled
when connecting to a switching HUB.
Auto-negotiation:
When this feature is enabled (SW4-6=OFF), the Duplex (SW4-5) and Speed (SW4-4) settings are
ignored and are automatically determined from the LAN connection. When this feature is disabled, the
Duplex and Speed settings of the LAN follow the settings of SW4-4 and SW4-5 and auto MDIX will be
disabled.
Packet Buffer Utilization:
The ET100/NRZ contains a 340 packet buffering capacity. When SW4-1 is OFF and SW4-2 is ON,
this buffer is divided equally between LAN to WAN and WAN to LAN packet traffic. When the LAN is
Fast Ethernet and the WAN connection is slow, the buffer may be better utilized by applying a greater
portion to the LAN to WAN packet traffic. In this case, set both SW4-1&2 to OFF. This will provide a 9 to
1 buffer division for LAN to WAN versus WAN to LAN buffer and should increase utilization.
1.7 Clocking Examples
In the following example, the ET100/NRZ is configured for bridging over synchronous NRZ data
signals. One ET100/NRZ is configured with an internal clock to facilitate point-to-point application with
another ET100/NRZ. The clock may be set to full 2.048Mbps or may be set to any n x 64 speed formula.
The unit configured for external clock receives timing from the unit providing the NRZ clock. In this
configuration, the rate DIP settings of the external clocked ET100/NRZ are ignored.

In this final example, the ET100/NRZ is operated without any dedicated clocking lines. In the point
to point example, one unit is configured with internal transmit clock and the data rate is set by DIP switch
for n x 64. The slaved unit uses PLL (Phase-Locked Loop) timing to recover the clock from the received
NRZ data stream. In environments where there may be long data streams of all zeros, the PLL recovered
clocking may not be stable. This can be corrected by enabling the "scrambling" function on both units. The
scrambling function will ensure that the data stream has adequate pulses for clock recovery by using
special line coding. Note: Both units must have the scrambling setting either enabled or disabled, or they
will not be able to communicate properly with each other.
