NetBridge Trouble Shooting
Guide
Ethernet.
The NetBridge device is default configured for Auto-negotiation, but can be configured for a
different Ethernet negotiation setting. Below is a list of the Ethernet negotiation settings that
the NetBridge can be configured to.
• 10 Mbps Full Duplex
• 100 Mbps Full Duplex
• 10 Mbps Half Duplex
• 100 Mbps Full Duplex
• Auto-negotiation
 While in this setting, the NetBridge device communicates with the device connected
to the other end of the Ethernet cable and chooses the highest performance
transmission mode that both devices support. This is typically 100 Mbps Full Duplex.
Location.
The placement of the NetBridge device at a site greatly affects the signal received from the
cellular network. To maximize signal strength, do the following:
• Ensure that a cellular network tower is in the vicinity of the site where the NetBridge is
located. Contact your cellular provider for further information.
• Place the NetBridge in an open space as far from the floor as possible within the site.
Ensure that the location where the unit is placed is free of electric noise (magnetic fields,
other cellular devices, etc.)
• Do not place the NetBridge device in a metal enclosure! Also, ensure that there are no
other wireless communication devices (cell phones, wireless routers, etc.) within 1 ft. of
the NetBridge
