1 Access Controller Overview

Introduction

The H3C WX5004 Access Controller is a new-generation wireless access controller product developed

by Hangzhou H3C Technologies Co., Ltd. (referred to as H3C hereinafter) based on the updated

multi-core CPU platform. Compared with the WX5002, the previous-generation access controllers, the

WX5004 has two more groups of Combo ports, allowing for more flexible user configurations. Besides,

the WX5004 also provides an expansion slot, where you can insert a card of a different type as needed

in the future. This provides not only strong processing capability but also flexible system configuration

schemes. In terms of reliability, the WX5004 uses pluggable power supply units (PSU). Thus, you can

choose to use double PSUs for high reliability or use a single PSU for economical sake. Working in

conjunction with H3C Fit Access Points (APs), the WX5004 can support up to 256 APs, thus help

implement a large-scale wireless LAN coverage.

Ethernet interfaces

1) Introduction

The WX5004 provides four 10/100/1000 Base-T autosensing Ethernet electrical interfaces and four

1000 Base-X SFP optical interfaces. One electrical interface and one optical interface form a Combo

port, which is marked in a white box on the front panel. Only one interface (either electrical or optical) of

a Combo port can be used at a time.

RJ-45 Signal Direction DB-9

z Ethernet electrical interfaces support 10/100/1000 Mbps autosensing. Table 1-8 describes the

working mode of the interfaces in each speed.

Table 1-8 Speed and working mode of an electrical Ethernet interface

Speed Working mode

10 Mbps (autosensing) Half/full duplex, auto-negotiation

100 Mbps (autosensing) Half/full duplex, auto-negotiation

1000 Mbps (autosensing) Full duplex, auto-negotiation

z Ethernet optical interfaces support 1000 Mbps full duplex. The optical interface and the electrical

interface of a Combo port share the same LED.

z A Combo port can work in either the electrical interface mode or the optical interface mode, that is,

either the electrical interface or the optical interface of a Combo port can be used at a time.

z A Combo port supports optical-electrical automatic switching, however, when both the optical and

electrical interfaces are connected, the electrical interface will be used in precedence.

2) SFP interface modules

The WX5004 provides four SFP GE optical interfaces. The following SFP modules are available:

No SFP module is shipped with the WX5004. You need to purchase SFP modules as needed and are

recommended to use H3C SFP modules.

3) RJ-45 connector

The 10/100/1000 Mbps electrical Ethernet interfaces of the WX5004 use RJ-45 connectors to connect

with the category 5 twisted pair cables.

Figure 1-6 shows the appearance of an RJ-45 connector.

Figure 1-6 RJ-45 connector

4) LC connector

Optical fiber connectors are indispensable passive components in optical fiber communication systems.

Their application enables the removable connection between optical channels, which makes the optical

1-7

system debugging and maintenance more convenient and the transit dispatching of the system more

flexible.

The Ethernet optical interfaces of the WX5004 support LC connectors only.

Figure 1-7 LC connector

z Before using an optical fiber to connect a network device, make sure that the optical fiber connector

matches the optical module.

z Before connecting the fiber, make sure that the receiving-end optical power does not exceed the

upper threshold of the receiving optical power. Excessive receiving optical power is very likely to

burn the optical module. For optical power values of the optical modules, refer to

Table 1-9.

5) Ethernet electrical interface cables

Usually, you can use a category-5 twisted pair cable to connect an electrical interface to an Ethernet.

Figure 1-8 shows an Ethernet cable.

Figure 1-8 Ethernet cable

Ethernet cables fall into the following two categories:

z Standard cable: Also called straight-through cable. At both ends of a standard cable, wires are

crimped in the RJ-45 connectors in the same sequence. A straight-through cable is used to

connect a terminal (for example, PC or router) to a Hub or LAN Switch.

z Crossover cable: At both ends of a crossover cable, wires are crimped in the RJ-45 connectors in

different sequences. A crossover cable is used to connect a terminal (for example, a PC or router)

to another terminal. You can make crossover cables by yourself as needed.

z When preparing Ethernet cables, please follow the chromatogram given in the table to arrange the

wires. Otherwise communication quality will be affected even if the devices at both ends are

connected.

Out-Of-Band Management Interface

Fans

The 10/100 Base-TX out-of-band management interface is used during BootWare and applications

upgrade. Refer to chapter

5 “Software Maintenance” on page 5-1.

The WX5004 is equipped with five fans: three fans for heat dissipation of the main board and two fans

for heat dissipation of the expansion card. If no expansion card is installed, these two fans do not work.

1-9

Interface Numbering

The WX5004 provides four fixed GE interfaces numbered GigabitEthernet 1/0/1 through

GigabitEthernet 1/0/4, with the last part of the port numbers indicated on the front panel

The out-of-band management interface is named M-Ethernet 1/0/0.

2 Installation Preparation

Safety Precautions

To avoid any device impairment and bodily injury caused by improper use, observe these rules:

z Pull the power plug(s) out of the access controller before cleaning it. Do not clean the access

controller using wet cloth or liquid.

z Keep the access controller away from water or dampness. Prevent water or moisture from entering

the chassis of the access controller.

z Do not place the access controller on an unstable case or desk. The access controller might be

damaged severely in case of a fall.

z Ensure proper ventilation of the equipment room and keep the ventilation vents of the access

controller free of obstruction.

z Make sure that the operating voltage is the same one labeled on the access controller.

z Do not open the chassis when the access controller is operating or when electrical hazards are

present to avoid electrical shocks.

z When replacing interface modules, wear the ESD-preventive wrist strap to avoid damaging the

interface modules.

Installation Site Checking

The WX5004 must be used indoors. You can mount the WX5004 in a cabinet or on a workbench, but

make sure that:

z Adequate clearance is reserved at the air inlet/exhaust vents for heat dissipation.

z The cabinet or workbench is in the environment that has a good ventilation system.

z The cabinet is sturdy enough to support the access controller and its accessories.

z The cabinet or workbench is well earthed.

To ensure normal operation and long service life of your access controller, install it in an environment

that meets the requirements described in the following subsections.

Requirements on Temperature and Humidity

To ensure the normal operation and service lifetime of the access controller, proper temperature and

humidity should be maintained in the equipment room.

z A long term of high humidity may lead to bad insulation, electricity leakage, mechanical property

changes, and metal components corrosion.

z If the relative humidity is too low, captive screws may become loose as a result of contraction of

insulation washers and static electricity may be produced in a dry environment to endanger the

circuits on the access controller.

z A high temperature is the most undesirable condition, because it accelerates the aging of insulation

materials and thus significantly lowers the reliability and service life of the access controller.

The following table lists temperature and humidity requirements for the WX5004.

2-1

Table 2-1 Operating environment

Item Description

Operating temperature 0°C to 45°C (32°F to 113°F)

Relative humidity (noncondensing) 10% to 95%

Requirements on Cleanness

Dust is a hazard to the operating safety of the access controller. The dust accumulated on the chassis

can be adsorbed by static electricity and result in poor contact of metal connectors or metal contact

points. Especially, when the relative indoor humidity is low, electrostatic adsorption is more likely to

happen. This can not only shorten the service life of the access controller but also cause

communications failures. The following table lists the dust concentration limit.

Table 2-2 Dust concentration limit in the equipment room

Physical active substance Concentration limit (particles/m3)

Dust

≤ 3 × 10

(No visible dust on the tabletop over

three days)

Note: The dust particle diameter is ≥ 5 μm

Besides the dust specifications, the equipment room of the access controller also needs to strictly meet

the requirements on the concentration of salt, acid and sulfide. These harmful gases can accelerate the

metallic corrosion and the aging process of some parts. The specific limits of the harmful gases such as

are given in the following table.

Table 2-3 Limit on harmful gases in the equipment room

Gas Maximum concentration (mg/m3)

SO2 0.2

H2S 0.006

NH3 0.05

Cl2 0.01

Anti-Static Requirements

Generation and damage of static electricity

In the communication network to which the WX5004 is connected, static induction of the access

controller mainly comes from the following sources:

z External electric fields, such as outdoor high-voltage transmission lines or thunderbolts.

z Internal environment like flooring materials or the structure of the overall system.

Although the WX5004 is designed to be Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) preventive, excessive static

electricity may enormously damage the card circuits or even the whole device.

2-2

Protection measures

To prevent electrostatic damage, observe the following:

z Ensure that the access controller and the floor is well grounded.

z Keep the equipment room clean.

z Maintain suitable temperature and humidity;

z Wear ESD-preventive gloves or an ESD-preventive wrist strap and uniform when handling the

circuit board.

z Hold the interface module only by its edge when installing, observing or removing it. Do not touch

the components on it.

z Place the removed interface module on an ESD-preventive workbench with the component-side

facing upward or place it in an antistatic bag.

Wearing ESD-Preventive Wrist Strap

No ESD-preventive wrist strap is shipped with the access controller. You need to purchase one if

needed.

Follow these steps to use an ESD-preventive wrist strap:

1) Put on the ESD-preventive wrist strap.

2) Fasten the ESD-preventive wrist strap and verify that it makes good skin contact.

3) Lock the terminal of the alligator clip to the ESD-preventive wrist strap.

4) Attach the alligator clip to the rack where the access controller is installed.

5) Make sure that the rack has been well-grounded.

2-3

Electromagnetic Environment Requirements

The operation of your access controller may be affected by external interferences, such as capacitance

coupling, inductance coupling, electromagnetic wave radiation, common impedance (including the

grounding system) coupling, and the conducted interference of leads (power cords, signaling cables

and output wires). To eliminate the interferences,

z Use the TN power system as the AC power supply system. A TN power system is called zero

connection protection system. It is a power distribution system with one point connected directly to

earth (ground). The exposed conductive parts and the neutral metal parts of the installation are

connected to that point by protective earth conductors. Use a single-phase three-wire power socket

with a protection earth (PE) to effectively filter interference from the power grid.

z Keep the access controller far from high-power radio transmitters, radars, and high-frequency

heavy-current devices.

z Use electromagnetic shielding measures when necessary. For example, use shielded interface

cables.

z Route interface cables only indoors to prevent signal ports from getting damaged by over-voltage

or over-current caused by lightning strikes.

Laser Safety

The WX5004 is a Class 1 laser device.

When the optional optical ports on the WX5004 are operating, avoid staring into the optical interfaces

because the high-energy laser beam emitted from the optical fiber may hurt your retina.

2-4

Do not stare the laser beam of an optical fiber. Otherwise, your eyes may be hurt.

Installation Tools

z Flat-blade screwdriver

z Phillips screwdriver: P2-150mm

z ESD-preventive wrist strap

No installation tool or ESD-preventive wrist strap is provided with the access controller. You need to

prepare them yourself.

2-5

3 Installation

When you ask your sales agent to maintain your access controller, you must ensure that the

dismantlement-preventive seal on a mounting screw of the access controller chassis is intact. If you

want to open the chassis, you should contact the agent for permission. Otherwise, you will bear any

consequence resulting from your actions.

Make sure that there is at least 1 U (44.45 mm, 1.75 in.) height away from neighbor devices for heat

dissipation.

Installing the Access Controller on a Workbench

In case the standard 19-inch rack is not available, you can install the access controller on a clean

workbench. When installing the access controller on a workbench,

z Make sure that the workbench is flat, sturdy and well earthed.

z Keep the environment well ventilated and reserve a clearance of 10 cm (3.9 in.) around the chassis

for heat dissipation.

z Place no heavy objects on the access controller.

3-10

z Keep at least a vertical distance of 1.5 cm (0.59 in.) between access controllers when they are

placed one above the other.

Connecting the Ground Wire

The correct connection of the protection ground (PGND) wire of the access controller is an essential

safeguard against lightning strokes and electromagnetic susceptibility (EMS) interference. You must

first correctly connect the PGND wire when installing the access controller.

The power input end of the access controller is connected with a noise filter, whose central ground is

directly connected to the chassis, forming the chassis ground (also known as PGND). This chassis

ground must be securely grounded so that induced and leaked electricity can be safely discharged to

the ground, enhancing the anti-EMS capability of the access controller. Ground the access controller as

follows:

When a grounding strip is available

1) Remove the grounding terminal screw located at the right back of the chassis, as shown in Figure

3-16.

2) Fasten the wiring terminal of the yellow-green PGND wire of the access controller to the grounding

terminal screw you removed in step 1.

3) Put the grounding terminal screw back to the grounding hole on the chassis and fasten it.

4) Fasten the other end of the yellow-green PGND wire to the grounding stud for the access controller

on the grounding strip.

5) On the grounding strip, use a nut to fasten the grounding stud that is attached with the PGND wire.

The fire main and lightning rod of a building are not good grounding options. The ground wire of the

access controller should be connected to the grounding system in the equipment room.

When a grounding strip is unavailable

1) If earth is available nearby and allows a grounding body to be buried

Hammer an angle steel or steel pipe longer than 0.5 m (1.64 ft) into the earth. In this case, weld the

yellow-green PGND wire of the access controller onto the angle steel or steel pipe, and treat the joint for

corrosion protection.

5 Software Maintenance

Overview

Files Managed by the Access Controller

The WX5004 manages the following three types of files:

z BootWare program file

z Application file

z Configuration file

BootWare Program File

The BootWare program file is used to boot the applications when the access controller is started up.

The complete BootWare program file consists of two segments: basic and extended.

z Basic BootWare implements the basic system initialization.

z Extended BootWare provides abundant human-computer interaction (HCI) functions. It is used for

interface initialization for upgrading applications and booting the system.

z The full BootWare refers to the combination of the two segments. After the basic BootWare is

booted, you can load or upgrade the extended BootWare on the menu of the basic BootWare.

Do not power off or restart the access controller during BootWare upgrade process; otherwise, the

BootWare program may be damaged and the access controller may fail to operate normally.

Application Files

The WX5004 supports the Dual Image function. By default, three application files are defined for system

boot:

z Main application file (main file)

z Backup application file (backup file)

z Secure application file (secure file)

These files are stored on the built-in CF card, with the extension .bin.

Typically, the default application file is written into the built-in CF card of an access controller before it is

delivered.

If you have loaded the three application files to the CF card, the system uses these three files to boot

the access controller in the sequence of main.bin, backup.bin, and secure.bin. For how to set the

application file types, refer to section “

Maintaining Application and Configuration Files” on page 5-22.

5-1

The default names and types of the application files and their loading priorities for booting are as

follows.

z Main application file. The default name is main.bin, and the file type is M. It is the default application

file used for booting.

z Backup application file. The default name is backup.bin, and the file type is B. When the boot using

the main application file fails, the system boots using the backup application file.

z Secure application file. The default name is secure.bin, and the file type is S. When boot using the

backup application file fails, the system tries the secure application file. If the boot using the secure

application file fails, the system prompts a boot failure.

Note that:

z The application files for system boot can be type M, B and S, but not type N/A.

z After the application program is loaded, you can rename the application files through the command

line interface (CLI) or change the file type (M, B or N/A) through the BootWare menu or the CLI.

However, you cannot change the file type of the S-type application file.

z As the secure application file is the last resort for system boot, you cannot change the type of the

secure application file, or change other types of files to the secure application file. You can only

download it by selecting the “Update Secure Application File” option on the BootWare menu.

z Only one file of the same type (M, B, or S) can exist on the CF card. For instance, if an application

file of type M+B exists on the CF card, another file of type M or B cannot exist. If the type of another

file is changed to B, the existing type M+B file changes to a file of type M.

Configuration Files

Configuration files store configuration information of the access controller, with the extension of .cfg.

Typically, the access controller has no configuration file when it is delivered.

The configuration files generated by users are saved in the built-in CF card, with the default name

startup.cfg.

z The length of a configuration file name must no exceed 64 characters (including the drive name

and the string terminator). For example, if the drive name is cfa0:/, the maximum length of a file

name is [64–1–6] = 57 characters.

z If the length of a file name exceeds 57 characters, error will occur in file operations on that file.

Generally, it is recommended to keep the file name within 16 characters.

z There is a limitation on the length of file name that can be displayed in BootWare. If a file name is

shorter than 30 characters, all the characters of the file name can be displayed; if a file name has or

exceeds 30 characters, only the first 26 characters of the file name can be displayed, followed by a

tilde (~) and a serial number. The serial number identifies position in sequence of the file. For

example, if three files, file A, file B and file C, have a file name longer than 30 characters, the name

of file A will appear as the first 26 characters plus ~001, that of file B will appear as the first 26

characters plus ~002, and that of file C will appear as the first 26 characters plus ~003.

You can maintain the access controller in one of the following three ways:

z Upgrade BootWare and application files using the XMODEM protocol through a serial interface.

z Upgrade application files using TFTP/FTP through an Ethernet interface on the BootWare menu.

z Upload/download application files and configuration files using TFTP/FTP through command lines.

z The BootWare program is upgraded together with the host software program version. That is, the

system automatically upgrades the BootWare program when you upgrade the host software

program.

z Before upgrading the software of your access controller, check the current BootWare version and

application program version to make sure that the correct file is used for the upgrade. For the

association between the host software version and the BootWare version, refer to the version

compatibility matrix in Release Notes.

Upgrading the BootWare Through a Ethernet/Serial Interface

To upgrade the BootWare through a serial interface, use the XMODEM protocol.

XMODEM is a file transfer protocol that is widely used due to its simplicity and good performance.

XMODEM transfers files through serial interfaces. It supports two types of data packets (128 bytes and

1 KB), two check methods (checksum and CRC), and error packet retransmission mechanism

(generally the maximum number of retransmission attempts is ten).

The XMODEM transmission procedure is completed by the cooperation of a receiving program and a

sending program. The receiving program sends a negotiation character to negotiate a packet check

method. After the negotiation, the sending program starts to send data packets. Upon receiving a

complete packet, the receiving program checks the packet using the agreed check method.

z If the check succeeds, the receiving program sends an acknowledgement character and the

sending program proceeds to send another packet.

z If the check fails, the receiving program sends a negative acknowledgement character and then the

sending program retransmits the packet.

5-7

z The BootWare program is upgraded together with the Comware application. When you upgrade

the Comware application program, the system automatically checks whether the current BootWare

version is compliant with that included the updated Comware application and upgrades the current

BootWare if needed.

z Before upgrading the software of your access controller, check the current BootWare version and

Comware application version to make sure that the correct file is used for the upgrade. For the

association between the Comware application version and the BootWare version, refer to the

version compatibility matrix in Release Notes.

Modifying Serial Interface Parameters

Sometimes, we need a high serial interface baud rate to save the update time, or a low baud rate to

ensure transmission reliability. This section introduces how to adjust the serial interface baud rate.

Enter the BootWare main menu and enter 2 to go to the serial submenu, and then enter 5 on the

submenu to modify the baud rate. The system displays the following:

Select a proper baud rate. For example, enter 5 for a baud rate of 115200 bps and the system displays

the following information:

Baudrate has been changed to 115200 bps. Please change the terminal's baudrate to 115200 bps, press ENTER when ready.

At this time, the serial interface baud rate of the access controller is modified to 115200 bps, while that

of the terminal is still 9600 bps. The access controller and the terminal cannot communicate with each

other. Change the baud rate to 115200 bps on the terminal.

Perform the following operations on the terminal:

Ethernet interface of the access controller, as follows:

5-15

Enter 3 on the BootWare main menu to enter the Ethernet submenu. Then, enter 5 on the submenu to

enter the Ethernet interface configuration interface:

z When configuring a parameter, you can enter a new value directly, or press Enter to accept the

default value, which is after the colon. Type a dot (.) to clear the input, a hyphen (-) to return to the

previous parameter field, and a combination of ^D (namely, Ctrl+D) to exit the parameter

configuration interface.

z The WX5004 supports only the 10/100 Base-TX out-of-band management interface for application

upgrade.

Upgrading Applications Through an Ethernet Interface

The Trivial File Transfer Protocol (TFTP) is a TCP/IP protocol used for file transfer between client and

server. It provides a simple and low-cost file transfer service. TFTP provides unreliable data transfer

over UDP and does not provide any access authorization and authentication mechanism. It employs the

timeout retransmission method to implement best-effort delivery of data. Compared with FTP, TFTP has

a much smaller software size.

Follow these steps to upgrade an application file through the management Ethernet interface (10/100

Base-TX):

1) Set up a software upgrade environment.

Figure 5-7 Set up a software upgrade environment

5-16

Connect the 10/100 Base-TX out-of-band management interface to a PC with an Ethernet cable. Run

TFTP Server on the PC, and set the path of the application file to be downloaded.

The TFTP Server software is not provided with the WX5004. You need to prepare it yourself.

2) Modify the Ethernet interface parameters. For details, refer to section “

Interface Parameters” on page

5-15.

z If the downloaded file has the same name with an existing file on the CF card, the system prompts

The file is exist, will you overwrite it? [Y/N]. If you choose Y, the existing file will be overwritten.

z Make sure that sufficient space is available on the CF card. In case of insufficient space, the

system will give a prompt.

z The new application file directly replaces the existing file of the same type. In this example, the

downloaded file main.bin replaces the existing application file of type M and becomes the only main

application file.

z For details about the application file types, refer to section “Application Files” on page 5-1.

5-17

Maintaining the Application and Configuration Files Through the CLI

After the access controller is normally started, you can back up and restore the application and

configuration files through the CLI.

Maintaining the Access Controller Through TFTP

Use the WX5004 as a TFTP client and a file server as the TFTP server. You can use commands on the

configuration terminal, which can be the same file server, to upload the application and configuration

files from the access controller to the file server or download the files from the file server to the access

controller.

Setting up a configuration environment

Set up a network environment (for the procedure, refer to section “Upgrading Applications Through an

Ethernet Interface” on page

Figure 5-8 Network diagram for software maintenance through the CLI

5-16). Run the TFTP Server on the file server and set the file path.

Configure the IP addresses for both sides, which must be on the same subnet. For example, set the IP

address of the TFTP server to 192.168.0.1, and that of the access controller’s management interface to

192.168.0.2. Then use ping to verify the network connectivity.

Backing up and restoring application and configuration files

After setting up the environment, perform the following operations on the PC:

View the files in the current file system with the dir command.

<H3C>dir Directory of cfa0:/

0 -rw- 10295948 Sep 11 2053 02:17:14 main.bin 1 -rw- 33 Aug 20 2008 09:58:44 system.xml 2 -rw- 802 Aug 20 2008 09:58:44 startup.cfg 3 -rw- 76960 Aug 15 2008 15:58:02 vmetest.vme

253172 KB total (243028 KB free)

File system type of cfa0: FAT16

<H3C>

For example, to back up the file startup.cfg on the access controller and save it as config.bak on the

TFTP server, use the following command:

5-18

<H3C>tftp 192.168.0.1 put startup.cfg config.bak

File will be transferred in binary mode Sending file to remote TFTP server. Please wait... \ TFTP: 802 bytes sent in 10 second(s). File uploaded successfully.

To download config.cfg from the TFTP server to the access controller, use the following command:

<H3C>tftp 192.168.0.1 get config.bak startup.cfg

File will be transferred in binary mode Downloading file from remote TFTP server, please wait... TFTP: 842 bytes received in 1 second(s) File downloaded successfully.

If a file with the same name already exists on the access controller, the system will ask you whether to

replace the existing file. Enter Y to replace it, or N to abort.

z When you back up a file to the server and if a file with the same name already exists on the server,

the existing file will be overwritten without a prompt.

z The above-mentioned operations are performed in user view.

z The backup configuration file can be modified by using a text editor. To update the system

configuration of the access controller, you can modify the backup configuration file on the file

server, and then download the modified configuration file to the access controller. Your update

takes effect on the access controller after it is restarted. Likewise, you can download a new

application file to the access controller to overwrite the existing main application file to update the

application.

Maintaining the Access Controller Through FTP

The access controller as the FTP server

The File Transfer Protocol (FTP) is an application layer protocol in the TCP/IP suite. It is mainly used for

file transfer between remote hosts. FTP provides a reliable, connection-oriented data transfer service

over TCP.

The access controller can serve as the FTP server. In this case, you can use your PC as an FTP client

to log in to the access controller for file operations.

Before using FTP, you need to install the FTP client application on your PC. The FTP client software is

not provided with the access controller. You must prepare it yourself. In the following example, the FTP

client program is the one that comes with Microsoft Windows XP.

Follow these steps to maintain the software of your access controller through FTP with the access

controller as the FTP server:

5-19

1) Set up a network environment as follows:

Figure 5-9 Set up a software maintenance environment (the access controller as the FTP server)

Configure the IP addresses for both sides, which must be on the same subnet. For example, set the IP

address of the FTP client (PC) to 192.168.0.1, while that of the access controller’s Ethernet interface to

192.168.0.2. Then use the ping command to verify the network connectivity.

2) Enable the FTP service.

Configure FTP server authentication and authorization and enable FTP. The FTP server supports

multi-client access. When a remote FTP client sends a request to the FTP server, the FTP server

executes an action accordingly and returns the execution result to the client. Use the following

command to enable the FTP service.

[H3C]ftp server enable % Start FTP server

Add an authorized FTP username and password:

[H3C]local-user guest //Create user account guest. [H3C-luser-guest]service-type ftp //Set user type to FTP. [H3C-luser-guest]password simple 123456 //Set password to 123456 for the user. [H3C-luser-guest]authorization-attribute level 3 //Set the user level to 3.

3) Maintain the access controller.

After enabling the FTP service and configuring the username and password, start the FTP client

program on the PC.

Open a DOS window, and enter ftp at the DOS prompt:

C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator>ftp ftp> //The system prompt changed to ftp>. ftp> open 192.168.0.2 //Connect to the access controller.

Connected to 192.168.0.2. 220 FTP service ready. User (192.168.0.2:(none)): guest //Enter the user name guest. 331 Password required for guest Password: //Enter the password 123456. 230 User logged in. //Successfully connected to the server.

Now, use the following commands to maintain the access controller: To back up main.bin on the access

controller to the PC, do the following:

ftp> binary //Specify the transfer mode as binary. 200 Type set to I.

ftp> lcd c:\temp //Change the local path. Local directory now C:\temp.

5-20

ftp> get main.bin main.bin //Back up the file to the PC. 200 Port command okay. 150 Opening BINARY mode data connection for /main.bin. 226 Transfer complete. ftp: 14323376 bytes received in 16.81Seconds 851.87Kbytes/sec.

To restore the backup file to the access controller, do the following:

ftp> put main.bin main.bin //Download the backup file to the access controller. 200 Port command okay. 150 Opening BINARY mode data connection for /main.bin. 226 Transfer complete. ftp: 14323376 bytes sent in 8.29Seconds 1727.37Kbytes/sec.

ftp> quit //Quit FTP. 221 Server closing.

The access controller as an FTP client

You can also maintain the file system of your access controller through FTP with the access controller

as an FTP client.

1) Set up a maintenance environment.

Figure 5-10 Set up a software maintenance environment (access controller as an FTP client)

FTP Server

Console

Ethernet

FTP Client

Run the FTP server program on the PC, set the file path, and set the username and password for the

access controller.

Configure the IP addresses for both sides, which must be on the same subnet. For example, set the IP

address of the FTP server (PC) to 192.168.0.1, while that of the access controller’s Ethernet interface to

192.168.0.2. Then use ping to verify the network connectivity.

2) Maintain the access controller using the terminal connected to the console port of the access

controller.

<H3C>ftp 192.168.0.1 Trying 192.168.0.1 ... Press CTRL+K to abort Connected to 192.168.0.1. 220 3Com 3CDaemon FTP Server Version 2.0 User(192.168.0.1:(none)):guest //Enter the username set on the server. 331 User name ok, need password Password: //Enter the password. 230 User logged in //Connection succeeded. [ftp]

Use the following commands to maintain the access controller.

5-21

Download and back up files using the get and put commands.

[ftp]get main.bin main.bin //Download the file from the server to the access controller. cfa0:/main.bin has been existing. Overwrite it?[Y/N]:y //Overwrite the existing file or not? 227 Entering passive mode (192,168,0,1,5,60) 125 Using existing data connection 226 Closing data connection; File transfer successful. FTP: 10323352 byte(s) received in 13.234 second(s), 780.00K byte(s)/sec. [ftp]put main.bin main.bin //Back up the file on the access controller to the server. 227 Entering passive mode (192,168,0,1,5,90) 125 Using existing data connection 226 Closing data connection; File transfer successful.

3) Set a new password in system view.

[H3C]user-interface console 0 [H3C-ui-console0]authentication-mode password [H3C-ui-console0]set authentication password simple 123456

The above output information indicates that password authentication is used for console port login, the

password is set to 123456 in plain text.

z After reboot, the system runs with the default configuration, while the original configuration file is

still kept on the CF card. To restore the original configuration, use the display saved-configuration command to locate the configuration file, and then copy and run it.

z If the password is stored in plain text, you can use the display current-configuration command to

view the password in the current configuration. If you use the set authentication password cipher 123456 command to set your password, the password will be stored in cipher text.

4) Save the new password.

5-25

6 Troubleshooting

Software Loading Failure

If software loading fails, the system runs the old version of the software. The following information

appears:

=========================<Enter Ethernet SubMenu>=========================== |Note:the operating device is cfa0 | |<1> Download Application Program To SDRAM And Run | |<2> Update Main Application File | |<3> Update Backup Application File | |<4> Update Secure Application File | |<5> Modify Ethernet Parameter | |<0> Exit To Main Menu | |<Ensure The Parameter Be Modified Before Downloading!> | ============================================================================ Enter your choice(0-5): 2 Loading...Failed!

In this case, check whether the physical interfaces are properly connected.

z If the interfaces are not properly connected, reconnect them correctly and restart the loading

process.

z If the interfaces are properly connected, check the loading process information displayed on the

configuration terminal for input errors. In case of any input error, restart the loading process with

correct inputs.

Input errors include:

z A baud rate other than 9600 bps selected for BootWare loading using XMODEM

z An improper baud rate setting in HyperTerminal

z A wrong IP address, file name, or TFTP Server work path specified for software loading using

TFTP

z A wrong IP address, file name, username, or password specified for software loading using FTP

If the cause cannot be located, contact your local agent for help.

Power Supply Failure

You can check whether the power system of the access controller works normally by observing the

PWR LED on the front panel. The PWR LED is solid green when the power system works normally.

When the PWR LED is off, check whether:

z The power cord of the access controller is properly connected.

z The voltage of the power input is correct.

6-1

Configuration System Failure

If the access controller is operational upon power-on, the configuration terminal displays the boot

information; otherwise, you may see nothing or illegible characters on the configuration terminal.

No Display on the Terminal

If there is no information display on the configuration terminal after the access controller is powered on,

please check:

z Whether the power LED is solid green.

z Whether all LEDs are off or blinking. If so, the main control board is abnormal.

z Whether the console cable is connected to the console port of the main control board.

If the cause cannot be located in the steps above, the possible reasons are as follows:

z The serial interface to which the console cable is connected is not the one specified in the terminal

emulation program.

z Terminal settings are incorrect. The required settings are as follows: 9600 bits per second, 8 data

bits, no parity check, 1 stop bit, no flow control, and VT100 for terminal emulation type.

z The console cable is not in good condition.

Illegible Characters on the Terminal

z If illegible characters are displayed, check whether the connection of the console cable is loose.

Appendix A Installation of Lightning Arrester for Network Interfaces

z You can install a lightning arrester only for each 10/100 Mbps electrical Ethernet interface

supporting RJ-45 connectors.

z No lightning arrester for network interface is supplied with the access controller.

If an outdoor network cable should be directly led to the acce ss controller, to prevent possible damages to the access controller due to lightning strike, please serially connect the lightning arrester for the network interface before you plug the outdoor cable into the access controller.

Tools

z Philips or flat-blade screwdrivers z Multimeter z Diagonal cutting plier

Installation Procedure

Step1 Remove the protective paper on one side of the double-faced adhesive tape and stick it on the shell of

the arrester; remove the protective paper on the other side and stick the arrester on the chassis of the access controller. Keep the arrester as close to the grounding screw of the access controller as possible.

Step2 Cut the ground cable of the arrester of a suitable length according to the distance between the arrester

and the grounding screw and then fasten the cable on the grounding screw tightly.

Step3 Use the multimeter to verify whether the ground cable of the arrester has a close touch with the

grounding screw and chassis of the access controller.

Step4 Follow the instruction of the arrester to connect the arrester for network interface with a transit cable.

Pay attention to the direction: IN end of the cable is connected to the arrester while OUT end of the cable is connected to the access controller. After the connection, check whether the LEDs of the interface modules are normal.

A-1

Technical parameters, installation and maintenance methods of an arrester have been given in the arrester instruction. Read the instruction carefully before installing the lightning arrester for the network interface.

Step5 Tie the cables together with nylon clips.

Figure A-1 Installation of a lightning arrester for network interface

Precautions

To ensure performance of the lightning arrester for network interface during installation, observe the following rules:

z Properly connect the lightning arrester for network interface, with IN connecting to the lightning

arrester while OUT connecting to the network interface of the access controller.

z Correctly ground the lightning arrester. When connecting the ground cable, make sure that the

ground cable is of a proper length and has a good touch with the grounding screw of the access controller. Check the ground cable with a multimeter after connection.

z Install adequate lightning arresters for network interfaces. When there are more than one network

interface connecting to outdoor cables, you should install a lightning arrester for each of the network interfaces to guard the interfaces against possible damages.

Appendix B Installation of Lightning Arrester for AC Power·································································· B-1

Appendix B Installation of Lightning Arrester for AC Power

No lightning arrester (lightning protection grounding strip) is supplied with the acce ss controller.

If an outdoor AC power cable should be directly led to the access controller, to prevent possible damages to the access controller due to lightning strike, please se rially connect the lightning arrester for AC power (lightning protection grounding strip) before you plug AC power cable into the access controller. You can use cable clips and screws to fasten the lightning arrester for AC power on the cabinet, workbench or the wall of the equipment room. When you power on the access controller, the AC power flows through the lightning arrester and then into the access controller.

Figure B-1 Diagram of lightning arrester

Note the following points:

1) Make sure that the PE terminal of the arrester is well grounded before using the lightning arrester for power.

2) Upon plugging the AC power cable connector of the access controller into the receptacle of the lightning arrester, if the green LED is on while the red LED does not alarm, it means that the lightning arrester of power is running and the function of lightning protection has taken effect.

3) Pay adequate attention if the red LED is on. You should correctly locate the problem, whether it is caused because the ground cable of the arrester is not well groun ded or becaus e the live and zero wires are connected in reverse direction.

4) You may use a multimeter to examine the polarity at the power receptacle of the arrester:

B-1

z With the power receptacle facing you, if the multimeter displays that the left wire is the zero wire

and the right is the live wire, it means that the PE terminal of the arrester is not well grounded.

z Otherwise, it means that the power receptacle of the arrester is set to the reverse polarity. In this

case, open the power receptacle of the arrester and correct the polarity. After that, if the red LED still alarms, it means that the arrester is not well grounded yet.
