MX410/MX412 System Manual
MX410 DATA PATH BLOCK DIAGRAM
As shown in Figure 3-1, the MX410/MX412 contains a 1/0 cross connect that allows DS0s to
be mapped between four DS1s (12 DS1s on the MX412), four PPP ports, and a V.35 port. Refer
to “PPP BCP/IPCP Menu” on page 5-32 for more information about using PPP.
Any DS0 in DS1 1 can be mapped to any DS0 in DS1 1-4, or any PPP port, or the V.35 port.
Any unmapped DS0 in a DS1 is filled with all ones. Therefore, if an entire T1 is unmapped,
framed all ones are sent.
The default mapping of the 1/0 cross connect is for all the DS1s to be unmapped and transmitting framed all ones. No DS0s are dropped to the PPP or V.35 ports.

Remote Management of Other Systems using Terminal Server Ports and Ethernet Connectivity MX410/MX412 System Manual
Remote Management of Other Systems using Terminal Server
Ports and Ethernet Connectivity
In this application the Terminal Server ports on the MX410 are used to provide remote
management of other non-Ethernet based equipment at the same site. This requires
connecting the RS-232 craft ports of the other equipment to the Terminal Server ports of the
MX410. Establishing a Telnet session to the MX410 Terminal Server ports establishes access
to the other equipment. Up to four external devices can be accessed in this way.
The Ethernet ports on the MX410 are used to provide remote management of the other
Ethernet based equipment. This requires connecting the Ethernet ports of the other
equipment to the Ethernet ports on the MX410 (see Figure 3-23). Refer to “PPP BCP/IPCP

Setup
First, connect the RS-232 craft port on the other equipment to the MX410 terminal server
port. The pin assignments for each of the RS-232 interfaces are listed in the PORT 1-4
Terminal Server port pin list in Table 4-5 on page 4-8.
The default settings for the terminal server ports are 9600 bps 8 data bits with no parity.
These settings must match the craft port settings of the other equipment for the application to
work. Baud Rate can be changed in the MX410 Terminal Server menus under Provisioning.
Refer to “Terminal Server Ports Menu” on page 5-25 for more information.
Then, establish a Telnet session to the MX410 with the port number for the particular port to
access the other equipment. The default IP address for the MX410 is 192.168.100.1 with a
subnet mask of 255.255.0.0. The port numbers default to 2023, 2024, 2025, and 2026
respectively, for each of the four ports. Once the session is established the default username
for each port is “port #” (where # is the number of the port) and the default password is

PPP BCP/IPCP Menu
Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP) is commonly used for LAN extension and Remote management
connectivity. PPP can use one of two upper layer protocols:
• BCP (Bridge Control Protocol): This protocol routes packets based on MAC addresses and
allows broadcast traffic to be passed over the PPP link(s). This protocol enables true LAN
Extension to be completed. Any device on the LAN can communicate with any other device
with the least amount of configuration by the user.
• IPCP (IP Control Protocol): This protocol is used to for the user to assign an IP address to
each interface of the MX410/MX412. This enables dynamic routing of packets based on
the IP address and prohibits broadcast traffic from being passed over the PPP link(s). This
protocol requires more IP knowledge and configuration of each device on the network to
ensure proper IP routing, Default gateway configuration, as well as avoiding conflicts of
networks and DHCP configurations. When IPCP is enabled, RIP v2 is the routing protocol
used by the MX410/MX412.
If using PPP, the T1/FT1 carrying the PPP link should be configured to ESF and B8ZS.
CAUTION
Only one PPP link can be connected between two devices. If more
than one PPP link is connected between two devices, it creates an
Ethernet LOOP and causes a Packet Storm across the entire
Ethernet network.
The PPP BCP/IPCP menu shown in Figure 5-20 is used to provision the PPP ports.
