Daughter Cards Guidelines Procedure Networking with Physical Bridges bridges are cable connections between 4100 series network nodes They are the means by each node in a system communicates with the other and with the master controller most cases the cable that makes up the physical bridge connects to two physical bridge cards card per network node The physical bridge card is basically a 4100 network interface card three communication ports the usual left and right network ports plus a bridging port The port combined with the modem media module communicates with the remote network bridge card over dedicated leased telephone lines using a special Simplex developed protocol that enables full duplex communication between physical bridge cards a typical configuration one physical bridge card represents all the nodes in the main loop and information over the bridge to the remote physical bridge card and network In order for the physical bridge card to accept information intended for another node in its remote loop the bridge card becomes a proxy it assumes the identity of that specified node The is finally sent from the remote physical bridge card to the specified node on next page with Physical Bridges Continued Systems systems support two prevalent architectures or wiring configurations hub or ring star A networked system can also use a combination of the two and Star hub configuration consists of a main loop with nodes connected in a radial manner The star consists of several nodes connected directly to one common node Physical bridge are used for the star configuration Physical bridges reduce the amount of wire that would be needed to connect all nodes in a loop and therefore cut down on system response A combination of the two styles is illustrated in Figure 1 Topology Command GCC Display Unit Hub Node Bridge Links Topology Remote Locations 1 Hub Ring Configuration on next page with Physical Bridges Continued Loops loops can be joined via physical bridge cards There may be no more than two Style 7 loops two hub configurations connected in tandem For every two loops that are using one physical bridge there can be a maximum of three physical bridges in a star configuration See Figure 2 e m o t e o d e Loop u b o d e Loop Node Bridge Link Command GCC Bridge Link Bridge Link Bridging Configuration 2 Interconnected Loop Configuration to the
