This Quick Start Guide provides a concise series of steps to get a pair of the NCB-Etherlon or NCB-Fiberlon
modules “up and running” quickly so that initial operation may be confirmed.
It is highly recommended that a pair of NCB-Etherlon or NCB-Fiberlon modules be tested in your application
by first connecting them “back-to-back” with the 10BaseT or fiber crossover cable included with this shipment.
Once operation is confirmed using this connection scheme, continue by reconfiguring the IP addressing
information and connecting the NCB modules to the actual Ethernet communications channel to be used.
NOTE: DO NOT connect the NCB-Etherlon or NCB-Fiberlon modules to a live IP network
until they have been reconfigured with new IP addresses and subnet mask supplied by the
network manager. Network-wide problems could arise from connecting devices to a network
without coordination of addressing information. See the Installation section of this manual
for full information.
Set Option Switches and Make Back-to-Back Connection
For the NCB-Etherlon:
• Set OPTION switch positions 1 through 8 on the rear of both NCB units to the UP position.
• Connect the NCB units “back-to-back” via the “10BaseT” connector on the rear of each NCB unit
using the supplied 10BaseT crossover cable (#S2-60760-100).
For the NCB-Fiberlon:
• Set OPTION switch positions 1 through 6 on the rear of both NCB units to the UP position and
positions 7 and 8 to the DOWN position.
• Connect the external fiber transceiver units to the AUI connector on the rear of the NCB unit. Secure
the transceiver with the slide lock. Verify that the SQE Test Switch is in the OFF position.
• Connect the NCB units “back-to-back” by attaching the XMT port on one fiber transceiver to the RCV
port of the other fiber transceiver, and vice-versa.

Network and Power
Once the above steps are completed, proceed by:
• Connect L ON W ORKS network devices to the “NETWORK” connectors of each NCB unit (both RJ-
45s and the screw-terminal connector are in parallel). If using the RJ-45 connector(s), connect to pins
1 & 2 (the right-most two pins).
• Connect power to the NCB units via the rear panel “DC IN” connector. The units can be powered-up
in any sequence.
Once properly connected and powered, the “ERR” LED will be off on both units and they are now ready for
use. Using the L
ON W ORKS network devices attached to the network connectors of each NCB unit, verify that
L ON T ALK packets entering one NCB unit exit the other and vice-versa.
