ISDN Router Manual V.1.1

1. Introduction

The ISDN (Integrated Service Digital Network) SOHO (Small Office Home Office) router is a network product used to connect LAN to the Internet or to the head office through the high-speed ISDN interface.

The advanced all-in-one design can ease a your installation for connecting a your Ethernet card directly to the built-in hub port. Apart from the flexible router capability, it also provides full ISDN TA functions for both data and voice communication. This design supports two analog ports for the normal telephony application, allowing you to connect the regular telephone, fax machine, and answering machine to the analog port to make an outgoing call or receive an incoming call. One data port allows you to configure the router and connects outside ISDN device with data protocol like V.110, V.120. The SOHO router also features an optional soft-fax function to simulate the G3/G4 fax operation with PC to save the fax investment.

The router provides a Windows based easy configuration software to help out with the entire relative configuration. You can easily click the mouse to select the settings. The router also comes with an easy-setup mechanism from telephone keypad, enabling some of the configuration being made through the regular telephone while checking the setting on the LCD panel.

The router supports BACP (Bandwidth Allocation Control Protocol)/ BOD (Bandwidth On Demand) function which allows you to utilize the 128k ISDN bandwidth with a demanded manner. When using the ML-PPP (Multi-Link PPP) connection, the entire 128k ISDN bandwidth is used for accessing the Internet. With the aid of BOD, the router automatically releases one B channel as soon as the phone receiver is picked up to make a call. It also tells router to returns to two B channels for 128k ML-PPP connection when the phone receiver hung up. Upon an incoming call, the router releases one B channel automatically and return to 128k ML-PPP connection as soon as one gets off the phone.

The RIP (Routing Information Protocol) and DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) save the network administrator a lot of effort on maintaining the entire relative network configuration.

E-mail sharing capability allows a connected LAN user to have the e-mail address distinguished, while using the same e-mail address in ISP. The router will automatically distinguish the transmitting/receiving mail to the designated person.

The router complies with ITU-T Q.921, and Q.931 for D channel protocol as well as provides switching type selections for different countries. The router is equipped with flash EPROM for future software upgrade through the data port.

ISDN Router Manual V.1.1

1.1 Features

• Integrated all-in-one design for ISDN TA, NT1, hub, and router

It saves the expense on purchasing NT1 and hub device. Moreover, it eases the cable connection and separates installation for the all-in-one design.

• One page quick configuration guidance

With the one-page quick configuration guidance, the end-user can install the router following the step-by-step procedure and operate the router easily. Even the first-time user will have no problem following the instruction to link to ISP (Internet Service Provider) and connect the LAN correctly.

• On line remote maintenance

The router has a built-in a remote maintenance facility to help the end-user to troubleshoot. The maintenance center can dial in remotely to diagnose and correct the wrong settings to fasten connection to the ISDN network.

• Two analog ports supported for normal telephony application

It allows you to use regular telephone to make outgoing/incoming calls just like using a regular

telephone at home.

• Support BACP/BOD for dynamic bandwidth demand

With the voice priority first mechanism at work, it fully utilizes the 128K ISDN bandwidth to

ensure no voice calls missing. Under ML-PPP connection, the router can automatically release

one B channel for voice communication and return to 128K bandwidth when the receiver hung

up.

• Dial On Demand to save communication cost

Dial-On-Demand activates the PPP link when needed. Whenever there is an outgoing packet,

the router makes an outgoing connection automatically and disconnects the PPP link after the

system is idle for specific amount of time (configured by the user) to save cost on

communication.

• Dial-in and call back security

The dial-in function enables you to remotely access your LAN. The call-back security can

protect your LAN from any attempts of illegal accessing.

ISDN Router Manual V.1.1

• Two standard RJ45 modular jack for S/T interface

The built-in two standard RJ45 S/T ports are for constructing a multi-drop connection to share

the same ISDN line.

• LCD display panel and LED indication

They provide visual display for you to monitor every status and message during the whole

connection process. You can see the calling party number (Caller-ID) immediately on the LCD

whenever the router receiving an incoming voice or data call. You can also check all of the

settings on the LCD panel.

• Battery backup utility

It automatically switches over to battery mode when local power source is off. In the battery

backup mode, you can still make outgoing calls or receive incoming calls.

• DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) function supported

DHCP allows the router to assign the IP address dynamically for the connected host on the LAN

that supports DHCP client. This saves the network administrator’s effort in maintaining the IP

address on the LAN and makes the IP address reusable.

• NAT (Network Address Translation) function supported

The NAT function converts all inside IP addresses to one single outside IP address. By doing so

you can translate all of the connected workstations’ IP addresses to single one and pay only one

IP account cost to the ISP.

• E-mail sharing

The e-mail sharing capability allows you to pay and use only one e-mail address account for all

of the users connected to the router. The router automatically receives and allocates mails to

designated mail users.

• RIP (Routing Information Protocol) function supported

With RIP the router can exchange renewed routing information with other routers automatically.

This help saves expense and manual labor on maintaining the routing table.

• Firewall security built-in

The built-in firewall can stop unauthorized communication between an organization’s intranet

and the outside, preventing the system being hacked from the outside.

ISDN Router Manual V.1.1

• Win 95/98/NT configure software

The Windows based configuration software enables you to setup the router easily by clicking

the around under Windows OS.

• Flexible ISDN TA function supported

The router provides ITU-T V.110, V.120, X.75, and X.25 on D protocol to let you connect with

other ISDN devices through these useful data protocols. You can use any terminal program like

HyperTerminal and make a data connection with other ISDN TA using the above protocol.

• Soft-Fax function

The router can bundle with the RVSCOM package (an end-user needs to order this RVSCOM

CD) running on PC to simulate a G3/G4 fax machine. With this function you can transmit

/receive G3/G4 fax in Word, Excel, Power Point format automatically. This not only saves the

budget on a fax machine but also eases the management of the fax files directly from PC.

• Local supplementary service

The router can simulate mini-PBX function for voice application such as inner intercom, call

waiting, call transfer, call forwarding, and three party conference all locally without doing it via

the internet.

• Easy setup from telephone keypad

The router also provides a quick setup mechanism through regular telephone. The end-user

may press some sequence code to enter the programming mode and setup some configuration

directly from the telephone keypad while checking the result displayed on the LCD panel.

ISDN Router Manual V.1.1

4. Installing the Router

4.1 Entering AT command mode

To operate the router, you need to set up the necessary configuration. Follow these steps to setup the router.

(1) Connect your PC with RS232 cable to router’s DTE port. (2) Use any terminal programs that support ASCII file transfer function, such as HyperTerminal. (3) Enter into the terminal mode and make sure that the terminal program had set the following

configuration.

l 115200 baud rate l 8 data bit, no parity, 1 stop bit (8N1) l Hardware flow control

(4) Type AT and check router responded with “OK”. If the router responded “OK”, meaning that

you have successfully entered into AT command mode. Otherwise please check the RS232 cable to see if it’s connected ok, or check if the COM port setting was correctly.

4.2 Setting ISDN telephone number

Similar with the regular PSTN (Public Switch Telephone Network) line, it has an unique telephone number. When you apply the ISDN line from PTT or service provider, you will be assigned an ISDN line number. But due to 2B+D technology, the ISDN allows you to have two numbers in one ISDN line. The local PTT or service provider may assign two different numbers to you. One is the line-number ( registered as the number of this ISDN line), the other one is the DDI (Direct Dial In) number (allowing someone to call in directly using this DDI number). Therefore you can apply two different numbers for both analog ports of TEL-A and TEL-B. If you apply only one set of number (line number), the router will ring TEL-A and

ISDN Router Manual V.1.1

TEL-B alternatively upon an incoming call. You may setup to ring TEL-A only or TEL-B only by AT$CG (global call select setting) and AT$CP (receive priority setting). Telephone numbers of TEL-A and TEL-B can also be distinguished by sub-addressing.

To setup the telephone number for TEL-A and TEL-B, you issue the following AT command.

l Setup line number to TEL-A

AT!D1 = 3930219 (where 3930219 is the applied line number from PTT)

l Setup telephone number to TEL-B

AT!D2 = 3930217 (where 3930217 is the applied DDI number from PTT)

l Setup SPID to TEL-A

AT!S1 = 50839302190101 (where 50839302190101 is the SPID number from PTT)

l Setup SPID to TEL-B

AT!S2 = 50839302170101 (where 50839302170101 is the SPID number from PTT)

l Setup data port number

AT%N = 3930217 (assign the telephone number to data port)

Note: SPID is necessary only for the Northern American users that connect with AT&T 5ESS or Nortel DMS100 switch type or NI1 switch type.

4.3 Setting ISDN switch

To make your router work and connect to the ISDN network, you need to setup correct switch type with your local ISDN exchange. Different countries may have different ISDN switch types. Therefore you should consult your local PTT to setup the right switch type. Type AT!Wn to Setup switch type:

n = 0 AT&T 5ESS n = 1 Nortel DMS-100 n = 4 European NET3 n = 5 Australia switch n = 6 Japan INS64 switch n = 7 NI-1 Make an incoming or outgoing call to test the setting.

Note: if the switching type is setup wrong, the router may not place incoming or outgoing calls.

ISDN Router Manual V.1.1

4.4 Quick Configuration

To minimize the configuration setting and connect into the ISDN network for voice and Internet access. The router provides a one-page quick configuration procedure to ease all of the necessary setting. Follow the this quick configuration to enable you to connect to the Internet within a couple of minutes. Please see Chapter 5 for quick configuration guidance.

4.5 User Interface

One of the strong features of the SOHO router is that comes with the ISDN TA functionality. Hence the router user interface also incorporates the AT command interface. This allows users who are already familiar with TA command to continue using the TA functions of the router. We call this interface the AT Command Interface.

The user interface that is used to operate the routing (not the TA) functionality of the SOHO router is called the Command Line Interface (CLI). The CLI user interface is designed for the sophisticated user to setup the router configuration more directly.

Basically, with just the AT Command Interface and the Router, the CLI user can drive SOHO to its full capability. However, in order to make the router easy to configure and setup, we added a menu driven interface so the user doesn't have to learn all the AT commands and the CLI commands to operate the router.

This user interface contains:

* AT Command Interface * Router Command Line Interface

When the unit first powered on, the AT Command Interface is activated. To display a list of available commands to configure the ISDN interface, enter the following command:

ATI0

The following menu appears,

• ISDN interface can also be configured in Router CLI interface.

ISDN Router Manual V.1.1

***FREQUENTLY USED AT COMMANDS:*** ATI0: Display useful AT commands ATI1: Display modem configuration AT!Dn = str: Set directory number n=1 or 2 AT!Sn = str: Set SPID number n=1 or 2 AT!Wn: Set switch type AT!Pn: Set connection protocol n = 0 5ESS n = 0 Clear channel n = 1 DMS-100 n = 1 V.110 n = 2 1TR6 n = 3 PPP n = 3 VN3/4 n = 4 MLPPP n = 4 NET3 n = 5 Australia switch n = 6 Japan switch n = 7 NI-1 AT&W: Save current configuration ATZ: Reset modem to activate saved configuration ATD tel-number: Dial a number

ISDN Router Manual V.1.1

5. Router Command Line Interface

To access the Router Command Line Interface (CLI), enter the following command:

AT:

The SOHO router then presents a log on banner where you type in your ID and password to log on. If logged on successful, the user is presented with the Router CLI Interface prompt that looks like this.

at: OK

Router Command Line Interface Console Login: admin

Please note: The default Console Login is admin and Password is also admin.

As its name implied, the Command Line Interface is an interface where every command must be entered in a single line.

A command is a sequence of tokens or words that are separated by spaces or tabs and terminated by a carriage return. Each token represents as a sub-menu or level, and a choice of the next token is available at every level. To exit CLI and return to AT command interface, type exit then the router will return to the AT command mode.

Once at the command prompt, the user can get the available commands at that level by entering ? or help for all the command with a description of each command that looks like this:

ISDN Router Manual V.1.1

CLI> ? ? config connect date exit flash help hwinfo log menu ping reset show trace version

CLI> help ? -- Display menu options config -- Change the configuration connect -- Start a PPP connection date -- Set the date exit -- Exit the current session flash -- Operations on the flash-based file system help -- Display this help hwinfo -- Display hardware information log -- Operations on the log

Entering Command

There are two ways to enter commands to configure the router.

1. Enter multiple commands at the top level and terminate with a carriage return.

2. Enter a single command (one token) at the top level followed by a carriage return and goes

down one level of menu at a time until the desired command is completed. At each level, the

user can type help or ? to get a complete list of command for that particular level.

Example:

To configure the ethernet interface with the IP address 192.168.70.1 and with the subnet mask of

255.255.255.0

Method 1:

CLI> config interface ether ip address 192.168.70.1 255.255.255.0

CLI>

ISDN Router Manual V.1.1

Method 2:

Note: The user can type the remaining of the command at anytime in Method 2 in order to complete the entire command sequence.

Tips: Some of the commands don’t need to be type all out. The number of character(s) required for that command depends on if there is a similar command (spelling) to it.

CLI> config

CLI\config> interface ether

CLI\config\intf-ether> ?

? help ip peer ppp show switch quit

CLI\config\intf-ether> ip

USAGE: ip address <IP address> <netmask>

USAGE: ip mtu <mtu size in bytes>

CLI\config\intf-ether> ip address 192.168.70.1 255.255.255.0

For example:

1. help : can be entered as “he”

2. quit : can be entered as “q”

3. config interface ether : can be entered as ”conf in ether”

Use up/down arrow key to recall your previous commands and backspace/ backward /forward arrow key to edit your commands.

ISDN Router Manual V.1.1

5.1 Quick Configuration to Internet

Before you can connect your LAN to the Internet you must obtain an ISDN internet account from your local Internet Service Provider (ISP). Your local ISP should provide you the following information when you register with them:

1. Account user ID and password

2. Dial in telephone number, you may need to have two phone numbers if you wish to run Multilink Point-to-Point Protocol (ie. MLPPP).

When the above information is ready, you can configure the router with it to connect your LAN to the internet. Configuring the router is very easy with the quick config "qconfig" command.

The router will prompt you to enter the ethernet IP address for the router, the ISP user ID, password, and the ISP phone number. When you’re done typing the information, the router will return you to the CLI prompt. At this point we recommend you to save all your configuration by entering the command:

> config save

Now you are ready to launch the connection to the internet. To do this please use the connect command:

> connect <user id>

The router shall attempt to connect you with your local ISP. If succeed you should see a message indicating that connection with the internet is successful. At this point, depending on weather your LAN has private IP addresses or not, you may want to configure NAT (Network Address Translation) to translate all of your private IP addresses to the public IP address. This can be done with the this command:

> config ip nat add isdn

Simple as that! Now you can start surfing.

Quick configuration is designed to help users with limited network knowledge to setup the SOHO router and connect to the internet with ease within the least amount of time.

To start quick configuration for the internet, enter qconfig at the command prompt. An example of the quick configuration screen is displayed as shown below.

-------------------------------IP address of this unit's LAN port : 123.97.35.7 IP mask of this unit's LAN port : 255.255.255.0 Switch Type (etsi, ni1, ntt) : ni1 DN1 : 3930219 DN2 : 3930237 SPID1 : 50839302190101 SPID2 : 50839302370101 Phone number of the remote unit : 8398111 User's ID to log into remote site : john User's password to log into remote site : master

At this point the unit is configured. It is suggested to save the configuration immediately to keep it in the EPROM. The user can connect and start surfing the internet by entering the following command.

CLI> connect john (user entered)

CLI> B1 channel up (automatic display by router) CLI> add net (automatic display by router)

By using qconfig you can change the telephone number and connect to any specified destination or ISP manually. For detailed significance of the above command, please see the following command set.

Note: The quick configuration can only be executed in CLI mode.

5.3 Configure Ethernet Interface

config interface ether ip address <IP address> <netmask>

Configure the ethernet interface with the <IP address> and the <netmask>

Every machine connected to the TCP/IP network must have an unique IP address. The IP address is always presented by dotted decimal format (four 8-bit number between 0 to 255 separated by periods), e.g. 123.97.35.7. The IP address was defined by the IANA (Internet Assigned Numbers Authority). The IANA had reserved the following IP address for the private network, therefore it is recommended that you follow the defined rules.

10.0.0.0 - 10.255.255.255

172.16.0.0 - 172.31.255.255

192.168.0.0 - 192.168.255.255

An IP address consists of network ID and host ID. The netmask is used to extract the network ID from the dotted decimal notation. The router will automatically calculate the network ID from the IP address and netmask. This command configures the IP address and network mask for the LAN of this router.

ISDN Router Manual V.1.1

config interface ether physical show

Display the current physical address of the ethernet

The physical ethernet address is a 48-bit unique address preset during manufacturing. The physical address is the lowest hardware ID for that ethernet device and was assigned by the manufacturer. Use this command to check the physical ethernet address.

config interface ether show

Display the current settings of the ethernet interface

5.4 Configure ISDN Interface, Authentication and VJ compression

config interface isdn ip address <IP address> <netmask>

Configure the ISDN interface with the IP address <IP address> and the netmask <netmask>

Like the IP address and netmask configured for the LAN interface, sometimes you need to setup the IP address and netmask for the WAN/ISDN (Wide Area Network) interface for LAN-toLAN application or static IP address requested by the ISP (Internet Service Provider) site. Under normal situation you don’t need to setup the WAN IP address as most of the ISP will assign the IP address to the router dynamically.

config interface isdn ppp authen <pap,chap,both>

Configure the authentication protocol when the PPP or ML-PPP connection is established.

When establishing the connection with the remote site under PPP or ML-PPP protocol, it is necessary to specify the authentication mechanism by both parties. If pap (Password Authentication Protocol) is selected the router will use PAP only, the PAP will send username and password in plain text for authentication. If chap (Challenge Handshake Authentication Protocol) is selected the router will use CHAP only, the CHAP will scrambles the password And sent for authentication. If both is selected, the router will try PAP when remote site requested PAP or it will try CHAP when remote site requested CHAP.

config interface isdn ppp ipcp vjcompression

Turn on the VJ (Van Jacobson) compression function for IP header.

The VJ compression is a mechanism to compress the IP header of a packet during transmission

ISDN Router Manual V.1.1

by reducing the size of IP header for speeding up transmission performance. The remote site must also support the VJ compression, otherwise the router won’t compress the IP header if the remote site did not support the VJ compression.

It is suggested to turn on VJ compression.

config interface isdn ppp ipcp none

Turn off the VJ compression function.

5.4.1 Configure Dial-In and Call Back Function

config interface isdn ip pool <initial_ip_addr>

Configure the IP address assignment of the PPP connection.

This command is used for the remote dial-in function. The router can accept the remote user to dial in with PPP connection and assign the IP address for the remote site if the remote site did not setup its own IP address. By the remote dial-in function the remote user can access the LAN resource just like it is connected the router locally. The router will check both the username and password for valid access.

config interface isdn ppp add user <username> password <password> maxchan {1,2} callback

{yes,no} phone <phone#1> <phone#2>

Configure the user account for PPP or ML-PPP connection.

The router allows you to store multiple user accounts for both dialing in and out purpose. For example, you can store different usernames and passwords for corresponding ISP when dialing out. Also if the router received an incoming call for remote dial in, it will check the valid username and password based on the stored User Account Table. The router will compare if the dial-in username and password was defined in the User Account Table. If it is a valid account, the router will accept the call and connect, after that the remote site can access the LAN resource through the router. If the user account is invalid, the router will disconnect immediately.

The maxchan specifies to use 1-B channel for PPP connection or 2-B channel for ML-PPP connection. For 1-B channel (64k, PPP) connection you need to setup phone#1, the router will make an outgoing connection based on phone#1. For 2-B channel (128K, ML-PPP) connection

ISDN Router Manual V.1.1

you need to setup phone#1 and phone#2, the router will make an outgoing connection by dialing phone#1 and phone#2. If under ML-PPP connection but just setup phone#1 then the router will make an outgoing connection by dialing the phone#1 twice.

If callback is set to ‘yes’, then after the router checks valid dial-in username and password, it disconnects immediately. It also calls back to the remote site based on the remote site’s telephone number. The router supports MS-CBCP (MicroSoft Call Back Control Protocol) therefore when the remote user enables MS-CBCP function for call back, the router will automatically disconnect and call back the remote site.

config interface isdn ppp set user <username> password <password> maxchan {1,2}

callback {yes,no} phone <phone#1> <phone#2>

Modify the current password and relative settings for the specified username in the User

Account Table.

config interface isdn ppp delete user <username>

Delete the current user account entry.

This command will delete all of the setting in the User Account Table for the specified username. After this command the deleted username become no longer available to the router.

5.4.2 Configure DOD (Dial On Demand)

config interface isdn ppp dod {on, off} user <username> <idle_timer>

Set dial-on-demand to remote user.

If dod is ‘on’ for the specified username, whenever there is an outgoing packet, the router will search the first username which enabled dod ‘on’ in the User Account Table, and make an outgoing connection automatically. If there are several usernames enabled dod ‘on’ in the User Account Table, the router will always search sequentially the first one which labeled dod ‘on’ and make an outgoing call based on that telephone number.

The idle_timer (unit: second) defines the idle time for disconnection. If there’s no packet transmission occurred within the defined idle time, the router will disconnect the link automatically to save the communication cost and to prevent any mistake for disconnecting.

ISDN Router Manual V.1.1

5.4.3 Configure BOD (Bandwidth On Demand)

config interface isdn ppp bod incre <increase> decre <decrease>

Set bandwidth-on-demand to router. By default BOD is enabled on the router.

Bandwidth on Demand (BOD) is a feature that allows the second telephone line connection to the internet to be made only if there is enough traffic between the router and the internet which exceeds the capacity of the first telephone line connection. Since it is likely that there are many periods of little activity where there may be no data to be sent between the router and the internet, this feature helps the user to save a considerable amount on connection with the ISDN phone line.

To enable BOD (throughput BOD) enter the following command at the CLI prompt:

> config int isdn ppp bod incre 80 decre 20

This tells the router that it should bring up the second telephone line connection when the traffic level on the first telephone line exceeds 80% of its capacity. At the same time if the traffic level on the first telephone line connection drops below 20% of its capacity, the second telephone line connection should be terminated.

To disable BOD, i.e., if you don’t want the second telephone line connection to be brought down even if there is no traffic on the line, enter the following command:

> config int isdn ppp bod decre 0

The other BOD function (resource BOD) acts as voice priority first manner. When the router connected by 2B channels (ML-PPP), if you want to place an outgoing voice call, the router will automatically drop 1B channel for your dialing to the destination. As soon as you hang up, the router will automatically connect the second B channel again to return ML-PPP connection.

The same mechanism works also under ML-PPP connection: If someone made a voice call to the router, it will drop 1B channel to accept the call and ring TEL-A or TEL-B. As soon as the user hang up, the router will again connect the second B channel and back to ML-PPP.

ISDN Router Manual V.1.1

5.4.4 Configure ISDN Switch Type and Directory Number

config interface isdn switch type {etsi,ntt,ni1}

Configure the switch type for an ISDN interface

Check with your local PTT to setup proper ISDN switch type otherwise the router may not

operate correctly.

etsi : European DSS1 switch (also called NET3)

ntt : Japan INS64 switch (also called NTT-KDD)

ni1 : Northern American National ISDN-1 switch

You should check the supported switch type by your router by typing ATI2 in AT command

mode.

Note: you can also use AT!W to setup the appropriate switch type in AT command mode.

config interface isdn switch spid1 <spid#1> spid2 <spid#2> dn1 <dn#1> dn2 <dn#2>

Configure the service provider id and directory number for an ISDN interface

Setup the telephone number and Service Profile Identifier (SPID) to TEL-A and TEL-B. The

spid#1 and dn#1 will be assigned to TEL-A. The spid#2 and dn#2 will be assigned to TEL-B.

The SPID is always obtained from your local PTT for service and identification purpose.

config interface isdn show

Display the current ISDN interface settings

5.5 Configure General Setup

config system hostname <hostname>

exit

Exit to the AT command mode.

hwinfo

Display the current hardware information.

ping <IP address>

Send an ICMP (Internet Control Message Protocol) echo to the host IP address.

The ping is a useful internet program to check the if the specified IP address host device is alive

or not. If the destination host is alive then the router should receive the echo from the host and

display the message. Otherwise if the destination host did not reply after time out, the router will

display timeout message.

qconfig

Quick configuration of the router to connect the internet.

The qconfig is a very useful command to setup the minimum requirement of the router. After the

quick configuration procedure you should be able to connect into the internet and place voice

call. The qconfig will request you to enter IP address, IP mask, switch type, directory number,

and remote destination number. Please see Chapter 5 for detail operation.

ISDN Router Manual V.1.1

reset

Reset the router.

All current configuration will be omitted if it wasn’t saved (config save) before hand. The reset

function will restart the router with new configuration stored by config save. The router will

start up in AT command mode.

uptime

Display the current time elapsed since the router was booted.

version (currently implementing)

Display the software and firmware version.

5.6 Configure IP Routing Table

There are two ways to construct the routing table. One is by manually setup one-by-one, so called static route. The other is setup automatically by the router, so called dynamic route.

5.6.1 Configure Static Routing

config interface isdn ppp ip route {add, delete} {default, <destination>} <metric>

Add or delete a PPP route over ISDN interface.

The command is used to specify a route over the ISDN interface. By adding or deleting such

route, the administrator can specify the route will be automatically added when the ISDN

interface is up. For example,

> config interface isdn ppp ip route add 192.168.1.1 1

will add the route to 192.168.1.1 to the routing table ONLY when a PPP connection is up over

the ISDN interface. Otherwise, the route will NOT be added. Similarly,

> config interface isdn ppp ip route add default 1

will add the default route when the PPP connection is up. The default route represents the default

IP gateway for destination that is not defined in the router’s routing table. Hence all packets that

have IP destination address that weren’t defined in the router will be forwarded to the default

gateway connected to the router over the ISDN connection as specified by the command.

ISDN Router Manual V.1.1

config ip route add default <gateway> <metric>

Add the default route to the routing table.

This command is similar to the one above except for the command will take effect immediately if

the gateway is determined to be reachable by the router. Otherwise, the command has no effect.

config ip route add <destination> <gateway> <netmask> <metric>

Add the static route of <destination> to the routing table with <metric> hop away.

This command will immediately add the route to the network <destination> via the gateway

<gateway> if <gateway> is determined to be reachable from the router. Otherwise, the command

has no effect.

config ip route delete <destination> <netmask>

Delete a static route from the routing table.

The route to destination <destination> will be immediately removed from the routing table if it

exists.

config ip route del default

Delete the default route.

The default route will be immediately removed from the routing table if it exists

5.6.2 Configure Dynamic Routing

config router rip { enable, disable }

Enable or disable Routing Information Protocol (RIP). Default is disable.

The RIP protocol let the router to maintain up-to-date routing information into the routing table

from the network automatically and dynamically. If set to enable the router will broadcast its

routing table on the LAN and updating the routing table when receiving the RIP broadcast from

other routers.

ISDN Router Manual V.1.1

5.7 Configure Firewall and Network Address Translation

config firewall <command> <action> <protocol> <address> command = { add, delete, flush, zero } action = { allow, count, deny, divert, reject, reset } protocol = { ip, icmp, tcp, udp } address = from { any, <IP address/netmask:port> } to { any, <address/netmask:port> } via { any, ether, isdn }

add Add an entry to the firewall/accounting rule list

delete Delete an entry from the firewall/accounting rule list

flush This causes all entries in the firewall chain to be removed except the fixed default

policy enforced by the kernel (index 65535). Use caution when flushing rules, the default deny policy will leave your system cut off from the network until allow entries are added to the chain.

zero <index>When used without an index argument, all packet counters are cleared. If an index is

supplied, the clearing operation only affects a specific chain entry.

reject Drop the packet, and send an ICMP host or port unreachable (as appropriate) packet

to the source.

allow Pass the packet on as normal. (aliases: pass and accept)

deny Drop the packet. The source is not notified via an ICMP message (thus it appears

that the packet never arrived at the destination).

count Update packet counters but do not allow/deny the packet based on this rule.The

search continues with the next chain entry.

all Matches any IP packet

icmp Matches ICMP packets tcp Matches TCP packets

ISDN Router Manual V.1.1

udp Matches UDP packets

The address specifies from <address/mask>[port] to <address/mask>[port] [via <interface>]

You can only specify port in conjunction with protocols which support ports (UDP and TCP).

The via is optional and may specify the IP address or domain name of a local IP interface, or an interface name (ie, isdn or ethernet ) to match only packets coming through this interface.

Example commands for firewall

This command will deny all packets from the host 129.97.34.1 to the telnet port of the host

192.168.34.1 by being forwarded by the router:

>config firewall add deny tcp from 129.97.34.1 to 192.168.34.123

The next example denies any TCP traffic from the entire 129.98.3.0 network (a class C) to the

192.168.34.1 machine (any port).

>config firewall add deny tcp from 129.98.3.0/24 to 129.99.1.2

Firewall is an internet traffic filtering process which is used to keep certain type of traffic from entering or leaving a specific site. This control mechanism is used mainly for security purpose where an organization can selectively reject traffic on the internet. There are currently two distinct types of firewalls in common use on the Internet today. The first type is more properly called a packet filtering router, where the kernel on a multi-homed machine chooses whether to forward or block packets based on a set of rules. The second type, known as proxy servers, rely on daemons to provide authentication and to forward packets, possibly on a multi-homed machine which has kernel packet forwarding disabled.

The router uses the first type of the packet filtering process to implement the firewall. A fairly sophisticated level of packet filtering process has been implemented on the router; therefore, it is expected that a novice user may take sometime to get familiar with all of the firewall commands and features.

The firewall can filter the following type of traffics:

ISDN Router Manual V.1.1

• IP, ICMP, TCP, UDP

• It can reject the above traffic from a certain machine given its IP address

• It can reject the above traffic on a certain port. This is useful because one can configure

firewall to selectively reject Telnet, Ftp, IRC, News, Web surfing, etc.

Let us try to answer this question by picking up an example, hopefully this example can help you to understand the steps required in configuring a firewall better. Let‘s say you want to configure firewall to disallow someone on the internet to telnet into the company computers on the LAN. Since we know that telnet always use TCP port #23, we will configure the router to deny any TCP traffic on this port. The commands are as follow: Enter the rule for denying TCP traffic on port #23

> config firewall add deny tcp from any to any:23 via isdn

By default, firewall will be off. When it is turned on, all traffic will be denied. After that you can add in your own rules to selectively let some or all of the traffic to go through the router.

The firewall also allows you to add new rule in between existing rules. For example if there are two existing rules with index number 100 and 200, then we can add a new rule in between those two rules:

>config fire add 150 allow ip from any to any

then this rule will be placed between 100 and 200.

config ip nat add isdn

The NAT configuration has been separated from the firewall configuration. That is if the firewall is not turned on, then in order to have NAT you must enter the command.

The router has the capability to perform IP routing with the addition of changing the IP address in the packets on the fly, i.e. as the data is passed through from the LAN to the Internet. In router this feature is called Network Address Translation (NAT). It allows multiple machines connected to a LAN access the Internet through only 1 IP address. For this reason routers with NAT are also called IP Share devices.

Configuring NAT on the router is easy. When the connection has been established with the Internet, enter the following command:

ISDN Router Manual V.1.1

When the firewall is turned on, in order to have NAT you must enter the command :

>config fire add divert ip from any to any via isdn

5.8 Connecting/Disconnecting ISDN

connect <username>

Start a PPP or ML-PPP connection with the username.

This is a manual method to make connection. The router will automatically extract the telephone

number associated with the username and make an outgoing call to connect with the destination

site. The PPP/ML-PPP connection will be decided by the maxchan set of the username stored in

the User Account Table. You can connect two username at the same time under PPP

connection for each user. Therefore the router can connect two different destinations

simultaneously.

disconnect <username>

Stop a PPP or ML-PPP connection of the current user.

When disconnect one destination link, you need to specify the corresponding username.

Because the router may connect two separated link with two username, each under PPP

connection. Therefore you must specify which one to be disconnected.

5.9 Save and Delete Configuration

config save

Save the configuration from memory to flash. All the changes up to this point are saved onto

EPROM and will take effect at the next reboot.

delete all

Delete all of the current configuration. Only take effect after resetting the power of the router.

The labeled addresses will be used to configure the IP addresses for all the corresponding devices.

Connect all the network components as shown in the figure.

After loading up the AT command interface on your PC, which has the IP address 129.97.35.58, the router can be configured as follows:

Type AT: to go to router command interface mode.

Configure the ethernet ip address for the router:

CLI> config int ether ip add 129.97.35.1 255.255.255.0

ISDN Router Manual V.1.1

Configure the user name and password for authentication:

CLI> config int isdn ppp add user john pass master phone 3840001

Alternatively, the router can be configured to use both data channels to increase the bandwidth:

CLI> config int isdn ppp add user john pass master maxchan 2 phone 3840001 3840101

Connect user “john” to ISDN interface:

CLI> connect john

Then wait for connection to establish.

On your PC update the routing table:

route add 129.97.34.0 mask 255.255.255.0 129.97.35.1 metric 1

route add 192.168.1.0 mask 255.255.255.0 129.97.35.1 metric 1

Update the routing table on NT server:

route add 129.97.34.0 mask 255.255.255.0 129.97.34.8 metric 1

route add 129.97.35.0 mask 255.255.255.0 129.97.34.100 metric 1

Testing the configuration

To insure the router is working properly the router can be tested as follows:

On your PC:

Test the router’s ethernet interface:

ping 129.97.35.1

The router shoud respond. If it does not respond then there should be a problem.

ISDN Router Manual V.1.1

The following tests are done similarly:

Test the router’s ISDN interface:

ping 192.168.1.2

Test the connectivity with the Total Control hub:

ping 192.168.1.1

Test the connectivity with the NT server:

ping 192.97.34.1

Alternatively, the router can be configured to use both data channels to increase the bandwidth:

CLI> config int isdn ppp add user john pass master maxchan 2 phone 3840001 3840101

If the user “john” already exists then type:

CLI> config int isdn ppp set user john pass master maxchan 2 phone 3840001 3840101

Save the configuration:

CLI> config save

The configuration can be display as follows:

CLI> show config user john

Connect to ISDN interface for user john:

CLI> connect john

Then wait for connection to establish.

Add isdn interface to NAT:

CLI> config ip nat add isdn

Configure your network PC client to have the router as the default gateway:

route add 129.97.34.0 mask 255.255.255.0 129.97.35.1 metric 1 route add 192.168.1.0 mask 255.255.255.0 129.97.35.1 metric 1

Testing the configuration

To insure the router is working properly the router can be tested as follows: On your PC, test the router’s ethernet interface:

ISDN Router Manual V.1.1

ping 129.97.35.1

The router shoud respond. If it does not respond then there should be a problem. The following tests are done similarly: Test the router’s ISDN interface:

ping 192.168.1.2

Test the connectivity with the Total Control hub:

ping 192.168.1.1

Test the connectivity with the NT server:

ping 192.97.34.1

5.14 Setup LAN-to-LAN Connection

To setup a LAN-to-LAN connection you need to have the following information before you can do it.

• Remote router ISDN telephone numbers

• Remote router logon user ID and password

• Remote router ISDN IP pool and ISDN IP address must be configured before dialing in can

take place. You can usually decide on an arbitrary IP address and IP pool for the purpose of doing LAN-to-LAN connection. For example using 192.168.1.1 for IP address and

192.168.1.2- for IP pool would be an acceptable choice.

With the above information can begin to configure your remote and local router for LAN-toLAN connection.

Configure Remote Router for LAN-to-LAN Connection

If the remote router is also the same model of router then follow the following steps:

1. Setting up you account for dialing in

> config int isdn ppp add user <user id> pass <password>

2. Configure IP address

> config int isdn ip address 192.168.1.1 255.255.255.0

3. Configure IP pool

> config int isdn ip pool 192.168.1.2

That's it, you are done with configuring the remote router. In the case that the remote router is not the same model then you should consult the router's documentation in order to do similar configuration for LAN-to-LAN connection.

Configure Local Router for LAN-to-LAN connection:

Assuming that the local router is the current router, the following steps are used to configure the router:

ISDN Router Manual V.1.1

1 Setting up dialing out user account, including telephone numbers for dialing out

> config int isdn ppp add <user id> pass <password> max 2 phone <dial out phone #1> <dial out phone #2>

2 Issue the connection command

> connect <user id>

Your local router should make the connection to the remote router, after that you should be able to establish any TCP/IP connection from one LAN to another.

6. AT COMMAND

6.1 Description of AT Command

Hayes command set is a standard for Hayes modem commands for its Smartmodem 300. Most modem manufacturers have adopted this command set in order to have Hayes compatible. The command set used by the Smartmodem 300, as well as most modems today (with a few additional new advanced commands), is known as the AT command set. AT stands for attention, and is placed in front of actual content of command so that the router knows what follows is an command directed at the modem or router. With the exception of some “A/” and “+++” command, “AT” command is the process to place command to the router. Different modems or routers may have slightly different command sets, but generally speaking, most of the routers follow the standard set by Hayes.

6.1.1 AT Command

When you connect terminal equipment (like PC) with the router, after typing AT command ending with [ENTER] key, TA will process the command and then return the result code to the terminal equipment. Each AT command must starts with “AT” and end with [ENTER] key (with the exception of “A/” and “+++” commands).

Command Format

The following is the format of AT command:

Command value command value CR LF

Result code has two styles (Verbose and Numeric). The following are their formats:

CR LF Result code(Verbose) CR LF

Result code(Numeric) CR

S register

The S register is used to store the settings including

auto answer mode escape sequence character

V.110 connect speed .....etc.

If you want to change the value of S register, you can use the ATS command.

8. Graphic User Interface Configuration Manager

The router provides a very convenient Windows base GUI (Graphic User Interface) configuration tool to help you to configure the router easily only by clicking the mouse. The GUI configuration manager is stored in the diskette or CD and is a self-executed file. Find the first diskette and execute the file named GUI_manager and follow the instruction to install it. After the installation you can enjoy the configuration just by clicking your mouse, rather than to type a lot of AT/router command in terminal mode.

9. Easy Setup From Telephone Keypad

The router provides a easy configuration way through the analog port. If you use TEL-A port then you can setup the corresponding attributes only for TEL-A. If you are using TEL-B, you can setup the configuration for TEL-B only. If your router installed with LCD panel then you can check all of the relative setting on the LCD panel. Otherwise if your router doesn’t come with a LCD panel, you can still operate but hear the confirmation tone only.
