Chapter 1 Introduction

AMB-IH61N1 is designed for rack-mounted platform for networking appliance, e.g. VPN,
SSL, UTM or firewall. With 3rd Generation Intel Core i7/i5/i3 Processors / Pentium CPU, It is
a powerful platform to satisfy different applications. By eight 10/100/1000Mbps LANs, the
AMB-IH61N1 is sufficient for the small to middle size business security solution.

AMB-IH61N1 can install 2 x HDD,BIOS and Jumper can control LAN bypass feature. It
provides flexibility to access Internet by user setting. For AMB-IH61N1A, it has 2 x SFP
fiber ports. For AMB-IH61N1B, it has 4 x SFP fiber ports. Customers can establish
fiber redundancy to secure their network.

Chapter 4 Driver And Utility Installation

4.1. Driver CD Interface Introduction

Acrosser provides the a driver CD, which includes the drivers, utilities,

applications and documents. For Windows environment, it can be guided by
the setup program; for Linux environment, the related files can be found at
folder “IH61N1\Linux”.

Once putting the CD into the optical disk drive, it will run automatically. The driver CD

will also detect the MB information to see if they are matched. The following error messages
appear if you get an incorrect driver CD.

It indicates that the board information is not available.

Chapter 5 Software Installation and

Programming Guide

5.1. Introduction

5.1.1 LCD Control Module

The LCM (short for LCD Control Module) APIs provide interfaces to control the module. By
invoking these APIs, programmers can implement the applications which have the functions listed
below:

1. Clear LCD screen.

2. Turn on or off the cursor on the screen.

3. Move the cursor on the screen.

4. Turn on or off the text on the screen.

5. Get the identification of the pressed key of the LCM.

6. Show the text on the screen.

5.1.2 Watchdog

AMB-IH61N1 provides Watchdog timer. Users can use the Watchdog APIs to configure and to
access the Watchdog timer. The Watchdog timer can be set to 1~255 seconds. Setting the timer to
zero disables the timer. The remaining seconds of the timer to reboot can be read from the timer.

In this Watchdog package, we provides:

1. Watchdog test utility.

5.1.3 LAN Bypass Subsystem

Two pairs of LAN ports on AMB-IH61N1 implement the bypass function. Users can invoke the
LAN Bypass APIs to control the bypass states of the LAN ports and set up the LAN Bypass
Watchdog timer ( this watchdog timer is different from the system watchdog timer mentioned in the
previous paragraph ).

47

5.1.4 IH61N Library (Window platform only)

The released code for Windows platform includes a folder called ‘AMB-IH61N1’. In this folder,
there are header files and source codes of all the APIs of LCM module, Watchdog, and LAN Bypass
functions. The source codes in this folder generate the API library ‘IH61N.lib’ and ‘IH61N.dll’. Users
who want to invoke the APIs can include the ‘IH61N.h’ in their application source code and compile
their application with the library ‘IH61N.lib’ or ‘IH61N.dll’.

Besides IH61N libraries, there are WinIo32.sys, WinIo32.lib, and WinIo32.dll in this directory.
These files are indispensable for LAN Bypass application, Watchdog application. Please put these
three files with LAN Bypass application, Watchdog application in the same folder. The APIs invoke
WinIo32.lib, WinIo32.dll, and WinIo32.sys implicitly.
