FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION
RADIO FREQUENCY INTERFERENCE STATEMENT:
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the
limits for a Class A digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC
Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection
against harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a
commercial environment. This equipment generates, uses, and
can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used
in accordance with the instruction manual, may cause harmful interference to radio frequencies. Operation of this equipment in a
residential area is likely to cause harmful interference in which
case the user will be required to correct the interference at his own
expense.
Shielded cables must be used with this unit to ensure compliance
with Class A FCC limits.
Change or modifications to this unit not expressly
approved by the party responsible for compliance
could void the user's authority to operate the equipment.
CANADIAN EMISSIONS REQUIREMENTS
This digital apparatus does not exceed the Class A limits for radio
noise emissions from digital apparatus as set out in the interference-causing equipment standard entitled "Digital Apparatus,"
ICES-003 of the Department of Communications.
Cet appareil nuerique respecte les limites de bruits radioelectriques applicables aux appareils numeriques de Class A prescrites dans la norme sur le materiel brouilleur: "Appareils
Numeriques," NMB-003 edictee par le ministre des Communications.
CANADIAN EQUIPMENT LIMITATIONS
Notice: The Canadian Industry and Science Canada label identifies certified equipment. This certification means that the equipment meets certain telecommunications network protective,
operational, and safety requirements. The Department does not
guarantee the equipment will operate to the user's satisfaction.
Before installing this equipment, users should ensure that it is permissible to be connected to the facilities of the local telecommunications company. The equipment must also be installed using an
acceptable method of connection. In some cases, the company's
inside wiring associated with a single line individual service may
be extended by means of a certified connector assembly (telephone extension cord). The customer should be aware that compliance with the above conditions may not prevent degradation of
service in some situations.
Repairs to certified equipment should be made by an authorized
Canadian maintenance facility designated by the supplier. Any
repairs or alterations made by the user to this equipment, or
equipment malfunctions, may give the telecommunications company cause to request the user to disconnect the equipment.
Users should ensure for their own protection that the electrical
ground connections of the power utility, telephone lines and internal metallic water pipe system, if present, are connected together. This precaution may be particularly important in rural
areas.
Users should not attempt to make such connections themselves, but should contact the appropriate electric inspection
authority, or an electrician, as appropriate.
The Load Number (LN) assigned to each terminal device denotes
the percentage of the total load to be connected to a telephone
loop which is used by the device, to prevent overloading. The termination on a loop may consist of any combination of devices
subject only to the requirement that the total of the Load Numbers
of all devices does not exceed 100.

Chapter 1
Introduction
PRODUCT OVERVIEW
The ADTRAN Router Option Module installs in the option slot of
the TSU muliplexer family of products and provides integrated rout-
ing capability access frame relay or point-to-point networks.
Basic Functions of Router Option Module
The Router Option Module provides the following basic functions:
LAN Bridge
Bridging provides a point-to-point connection between two local
area networks (LANs). The bridge learning function scans the
source and destination media access control (MAC) addresses of all
packets on its LAN and determines which packets should be trans-
mitted over the T1 link. Applications include connectivity between
single users or small offices to corporate LANs. The Router Option
Module uses the Spanning Tree Algorithm (IEEE 802.1d-ISO/
IEC10038), which provides a loop-free topology and redundancy.
IP Router
The Router Option Module can function as an IP router using the
Routing Information Protocol (RIP) for advertising and learning
routes among other routers. Static routes may also be entered into
the routing table.
IPX Router
IPX routers and services can be exchanged between the Router Op-
tion Module and other devices using RIP and Service Advertising
Protocol (SAP). Watch dog serialization filtering and spoofing can
permit the ISDN to be idle during no application traffic periods.

Chapter 1: Introduction
Network Address Translation (NAT)
Single networks can connect to the Internet with this function. The
Router Option Module translates outgoing IP packets over the T1 to
the IP router at the Internet Service Provider. Popular Internet applications are supported.
PPP or Frame Relay
The layer 2 protocol used to transfer packets can be PPP or Frame
Relay (RFC 1490). PPP allows a point-to-point connection, whereas
Frame Relay can provide up to ten permanent virtual circuits.
Routing and Bridging with the Router
Option Module
The Router Option Module is a Router and Transparent Learning
Bridge. Its features can be easily configured and used, once several
basic concepts are understood.
Factory Default
The Router Option Module comes from the factory configured for
MAC Bridging, IP routing, and IPX routing with no filters or connection information defined. An IP address of 10.0.0.1 with a network mask of 255.255.255.0 is preloaded. The factory default layer 2
configuration is PPP, which provides the least amount of reconfiguration due to its negotiation-oriented nature.
Bridging
IP Routing
1-2
In Bridge Mode, the Router Option Module can be used to connect
two LAN segments. In this mode, all protocols are supported because they are transported across the T1 link at the MAC layer. The
Spanning Tree Algorithm can be used to guarantee a loop-free topology. MAC- save addresses are “learned” by each Router Option
Module to prevent non-WAN packets from being bridged.
The Router Option Module operates as an IP router when the Con-
figuration/IP/IP Router/Mode option is configured to On. In PPP
mode, the Router Option Module uses an IP unnumbered WAN in-
Router Option Module User Manual 61200350L1-1
terface. The IP address and mask assigned to the unit’s LAN inter-
face apply to all routing and IP operations for the unit.
In Frame Relay mode, each PVC can be specified as numbered or
unnumbered links. If a default gateway is specified on the network
of the Ethernet interface, the unit attempts to reach the gateway
through that interface. If no default gateway is specified (i.e.,
0.0.0.0.), the WAN interface becomes the default gateway (recom-
mended for remote applications when there are no other routers on
the remote LAN).
IPX Routing
Network routes and services are learned and advertised using No-
vell’s RIP and SAP.
Concurrent Routing and Bridging
The Router Option Module can route IP and IPX as well as bridge
nonIP/IPX packets simultaneously. The PPP profile will, by default,
negotiate PPP network protocols to support the transmission and
reception of IP, IPX, and Bridge packets. If the PPP peer does not ac-
cept a protocol, the Router Option Module will fall back to any com-
bination of routing and bridging.
Chapter 1: Introduction
Network Address Translation Mode (NAT)
NAT is a special mode of operation in which the Router Option
Module obtains a dynamically assigned IP address from the peer
router (typically an Internet Service Provider). This allows a net-
work of computers to appear as a single IP address.
NAT is enabled if the layer 2 protocol is PPP and the PPP profile has
