You may need items that are not included in the ARN/DC accessory package. Before installin g the ARN/ DC hardwa re, ensu re that you ha v e all the c ables, t ools, and other equipment you need.

Cables

Unless you specifically ordered them, the cables required for your network configuration are not included in the ARN/DC accessory package. If you do not have the proper cables, contact your network administrator or see the Cable

Guide.

Hardware for Rack-Mounting the ARN/DC

To install the ARN/DC in an equi pmen t rack, you need a Phillips scr ewdriver and a rack that meets the following specifications:

• Heavy-duty steel construction

• Electronic Industries Association (EIA) standard hole-spacing

• Width of 19 in. (48.26 cm) and depth of 24 in. (60.96 cm)

1-4

If the rack does not have threaded rail holes, you must use cage nuts (see

Figure 1-1

) with the cagenut screws.

Management Console

To configure startup options and to monitor the results of startup diagnostics, you can attach an optional VT-100 console or equivalent, such as a PC terminal emulator. Or, you can attach any AT-compatible modem to allow dial-in access to startup configuration and diagnostics.

Note:

To use the Netboot, Directed Netboot, or Local Boot configuration option (see Chapter 3), connect a management console before turning on the ARN/DC.

With the optional V.34 Console Modem Module installed, you can connect an external V.34 modem as a management console.

116273-B Rev 00

Verifying Site Requirements

Ensure that the installation site meets the space, electrical, and environmental requiremen ts listed in this section.

Installing the ARN/DC

Space Requirements

The installatio n si te must provide suffic ient free space ar ound the router to ensur e proper ventilation and access for servicing.

Table 1-2. Space Requirements

Width Minimum Depth Depth for Servicing

22.5 in. (57.2 cm) 15 in. (38.1 cm) 25 in. (63.5 cm)

Electrical Requirements

The installation site must meet the following electrical requirements:

Table 1-3. Electrical Requirements

Nominal Output Voltage Maximum Output Current Physical

-48 or -60 vo lts direct current (VDC), +/- 20%

1-5

Installing and Operating BayStack ARN/DC Routers

Installing the ARN/DC

When you are ready to install the ARN/DC, you can do one of the following:

• Position the ARN/DC on a flat, sturdy, horizontal surface.

• Mount the ARN/DC in a standard equipment rack.

Positioning the ARN/DC on a Flat Surface

When positioning the ARN/DC on a flat surface, make sure that the surface is

• Large enough for the ARN/DC to operate properly

• Sturdy enough to support the combined weight of the ARN/DC and any cables you attach

We recommend that you place the self-adhesive rubber feet on the bottom of the ARN/DC chassis (shipped with the ARN/DC). These feet protect the surface on which you position the ARN/DC and pro vi de added friction agains t the weight of any cables you attach.

Rack-Mounting the ARN/DC

For this procedure, you need

• Two flange brackets and ten #6 flathead screws (shipped with the ARN/DC).

• A Phillips screwdriver.

• A standard 19-in . equipment rack. If the r ack does not have threaded rail holes, you must attach the four cage nuts shipped with the ARN/DC.

• Four #10 cagenut screws and washers (shipped with the ARN/DC).

To rack-mount the ARN/DC:

Determine how you want the ARN/DC to fit in the equipment rack.

Multiple holes in the flange brackets provide several options for rack-mounting the ARN/DC. How you attach the flange brackets determines how far the router extends outside or remains inside the rack. Figure 1-2 shows three of the most common locations for the brackets.

Installing and Operating BayStack ARN/DC Routers

If the holes in the rack’s vertical supports are not threaded for cagenut screws, insert a cage nut in four locations (Figure 1-3)

Holding the ARN/DC in position, align the flanged end of each bracket with two holes on each side of the vertical rack support (Figure 1-3)

It is easiest to complete this step with two people. Be certain that the hole pairs on either side of the vertical support match horizontally.

The Ethernet base and expansion modules can also contain an optional data collection module (DCM). This optional DCM gathers Ethernet statistics for a remote monitoring (RMON) utility. A subset of these statistics is gathered with a built-in RMON function on the Ethernet10/100BASE-Tx and -Fx interfaces. See Configuring RMON and RMON2 on BayRS Routers for inf ormation about how to enable and use each RMON data collection implementation.

Installing and Operating BayStack ARN/DC Routers

Connecting Communications Cables

Gather the communications equipment and cables that you will attach to the ARN/DC. If you do not have the proper cables, contact your network administrator or see the Cable Guide.

Note:

For ARN/DC cable interface descriptions, refer to Appendix C in this

manual.

Then, complete the steps in the applicable sections:

• “Connecting to an Ethernet Interface” on page 1-10

• “Connecting to a Serial Interface” on page 1-13

• “Connecting to the ISDN Interface” on page 1-15

• “Connecting to the 56/64K DSU/CSU Interface” on page 1-16

• “Connecting to an E1/FE1 Interface” on page 1-18

• “Connecting to the FT1/T1 DSU/CSU Interface” on page 1-17

• “Connecting to the Integrated V.34 Modem” on page 1-19

Connecting to an Ethernet Interface

You can connect an Ethernet cable to any ARN/DC ba se or ex pansion mo dule that contains an Ethernet interface option.

Some modules provides two Ethernet interface types: an IEEE 802.3 AUI transceiv er inte rfac e and an 10B ASE-T or 10/100 B ASE-T unshi elded twist ed pair (UTP) interface. You can connect to either the AUI transceiver interface or the UTP interface on an Ethernet module, but you cannot use both interfaces at the same time.

1-10

116273-B Rev 00

Installing the ARN/DC

Connecting to the AUI Interface

The AUI interface provides broadband, baseband, fiber, and shielded twisted pair (STP) support, depending on the transceiver and cables you use.

Caution:

Connecting the ARN AUI interface directly to the AUI interface on an Ethernet station violates IEEE 802.3 standards. The AUI interface is designed only for connection to a transceiver.

To connect an Ethernet transceiver (drop) cable to an AUI connector on an Ethernet module:

Connect the transceiver cable to the interface labeled AUI (Figure 1-5).

The cable must have a 15-position D-SUB receptacle.

Caution:

Connecting the ARN/DC A UI interf ace directl y to the AUI interface on an Ethernet station violates the IEEE 802.3 standard. The AUI interface is only for connection to a transceiver.

You connect 44-pin serial cables to serial connectors on ARN/DC adapter and expansion modules. Each serial interface supports multiple WAN protocols at a transmission rate of 1200 b/s to 2.048 Mb/s.

To connect to a serial interface:

Locate the serial interface cable.

The serial expan sion and adapt er modules auto matica lly conf igure the desired electrical interface when used with standard keyed cables such as the following, which are described in the Cable Guide:

Note:

The Cable Guide refers to serial cables that transmit synchronous data

as “synchronous” cables.

Understanding the Startup Process

To operate, the ARN/DC requires two files: a software image and a configurat io n file. Each time you start the ARN/DC, it completes a process to load these files.

•The software image contains a group of executable files that support the

protocols that the network requires. The ARN/DC uses the software image called arn.exe. The process of obtaining and using this image is called booting.

• T o bri dge and rout e traffic , the ARN/DC also nee ds a configuration file that is

tailored to the network. A configuration file is a binary sy stem file that contains hardware and software configuration data. The default configuration file is named config.

Bay Networks ships the executable and default configuration files on a PCMCIA flash card, but the ARN/DC can also obtain them over the network. Getting a file over the network is called network booting, or netbooting. Getting a file from the router file system, stored in flash memory, is local bootin g.

Installing and Operating BayStack ARN/DC Routers

Starting the ARN/DC for the First Time

The ARN/DC factory defaults are set to find the image file and configuration file from the foll owing locations:

• Image file -- on the local PCMCIA Flash memory card

• Configuration file -- over the network These default settings work with the default EZ-Install procedure. The first time you power on an ARN/DC, the router steps through its diagnostic

tests and then attempts to boot over all of its serial (COM) interfaces using EZ-Install.

Note:

Coordinate the initial startup of the ARN/DC with your network administrator. To determine which software configuration option is best for your site and for instructions on setting up a boot server, the network administrator can refer to Configuring BayStack Remote Access.

If your network administrator has configured the network for the EZ-Install procedure, the router boots using its local image and obtains its configuration file over the network. Your network administrator can then connect to the ARN/DC and manage it remotely. For more information , refer to the next s ection, “

EZ-Install.”

If both the EZ-Install and local boot attempts fail, the EZ-Install and local boot processes repeat until one of the following occurs:

• The ARN/DC boots successfully.

• You interrupt the boot process to enter the ARN/DC monitor.

• You turn off the ARN/DC. The following sections describe how to use each of the different boot options for

the ARN/DC.

116273-B Rev 00

Using EZ-Install

EZ-Install is the default installation option provided by Bay Networks. This option requires th at your netw ork a dminist rator has set up th e netw or k so that you can start the EZ-Install procedure. In addition, this option requires that you:

• Install a flash memory card. For instructions, see “Installing the Flash

Memory Card” on page 1-29. Connect at least one serial (COM) interface to the network. For inst ructions,

see “Connecting Communications Cables” on page 1-10.

Note:

If your ARN/DC does not have a COM interface, you must configure the ARN/DC using one of the other methods such as netboot or directed netboot over an Ethernet interface. Or, you may local boot the ARN/DC and run the Quick-Start sc ript. Fo r more informat ion, see “Using Net boot, Directed Netboot, or Local Boot” on page 2-6.

To use EZ-Install:

Press the power switch on the ARN/DC back panel to the ON position.

Installing and Operating BayStack ARN/DC Routers

Using Netboot, Directed Netboot, or Local Boot

When you netboot or local boot the ARN/DC, you must use a command line interface that accesses the router software. To use a command line interface, you can:

• Wait for the ARN/DC to local boot (that is, wait for the router to fail

EZ-Install and the n attempt t o boot using its local co nfigur ation f ile). Afte r the ARN/DC boots locally, you can log in to the Te chnician Int erface and redefine the boot process.

• Interrupt the boot process using a break sequence and log in to the ARN/DC

monitor to redefine the boot process.

Using the netboot, directed netboot, or local boot options requires that you:

• Connect any necessary communications cables to access the network.

• Connect a management console.

• Connect the ARN/DC power cable.

• Install a flash memory card. See Chapter 1, “Installing the ARN/DC,” for instructions on how to complete

these tasks.

Interrupting the Boot Process

Interrupting the boot p roces s auto mati call y sta rts the ARN/DC monitor. Using the ARN/DC monitor allows you to bypass the EZ-Install procedure.

Note:

Before you power on the ARN/DC, make sure that you have installed the router and connected the management console equipment you need (see “Connecting a Management Console” on page 1-21).

To interrupt the boot process:

Flip the power switch on the ARN/DC back panel upwards to the on (1) position.

As the router powers on, your console displays the ARN/DC diagnostic tests. After successfully completing these tests, the router begins the EZ-Install procedure and attempts to boot over the network.

2-6

116273-B Rev 00

While the router is running the EZ-Install procedure, issue a break sequence from the management console.

The ARN/DC monitor login prompt appears.

Note:

Be sure to issue a break sequence before the boot process completes. Break sequences can vary, depending on the console type. Some management consoles have specific “Break” keys on their keyboards; other require a key sequence to issue a bre ak (for ex ample,

Ensuring a Successful Installation

After connecting the ARN/DC to the network, you can ensure a successful installation by checking the diagnostic LEDs on the front panel of the base module (refer to Figure 3-1 on page 3-2).

When you power on the ARN/DC, the following sequence of front panel LED activity should occur:

• All base module LEDs light mo mentarily; this tests that the LEDs are

operational.

• The Run, Boot, and Fail LEDs count through a short, initial startup sequence.

• The Pwr (power) LED lights and remains on.

• The Run LED begins flashing and continues to flash until the ARN/DC

completes all diagnostic tests.

3-8

116273-B Rev 00

Operating the ARN/DC

• As the diagnostic procedure tests each module, the LED representing that

module flashes slowly. If the module passes its diagnostic test, the LED remains on. If the module fails its diagnostic test, the Fail LED remains on and the module LED flashes rapidly.

• After completing the diagnostic testing procedure, the boot process begins.

The Run and Boot LEDs indicate the boot status as shown in Table 3-13

• After the boot process completes, the Run LED li ghts and the Boo t LED turns

off, indicating that the ARN/DC is operational.

Installing and Operating BayStack ARN/DC Routers

Verifying Router Requirements

When you install an adapter module as an upgrade to your existing hardware configuration, verify the following:

• The ARN/DC contains the minimum required version of programmable

read-only memory (PROM) code for the module you are installing. BayRS release media includes the latest boot and diagnostic code at the time

it is shipped, but if your upgrade requires newer code, you must manually download it to the router PROM.

To determine which version of boot and diagnostic code you need when installing a particular adapter module, see the module-specific Supplement that ships with the module, and to the Document Change Notice or the Release Notes distributed with your BayRS release. For instructions on how to upgrade the PROM code in flash memory, refer to the Upgrading Routers guide.

• The ARN/DC contains sufficient random-access memory (RAM) for its

software requirements. Configuring software for additional interfaces may increase the ARN/DC memory requirements.

Powering Down

Before installing a WAN adapter module:

Warning:

4-2

Turn off power to the ARN/DC.

Move the back-panel power switch to the OFF position (0) by inserting your finger or a nar row tool through the openi ng in the prote cti ve casing to push the toggle switch down. Refer to Figure 1-20 in Chapter 1.

You cannot hot-swap ARN/DC WAN adapter modules.

Remove the antistatic wrist strap.

Connect the appropriate WAN cabling to the new interface.

For cabling information, see the module-specific Supplement and the Bay Networks Cable Guide.

Turn power on, and check the diagnostic LEDs on the front panel of the base module.

See “Powering On and Off” and “Understanding the ARN/DC LEDs” in Chapter 3.

116273-A Rev. 00

Note:

For information about the LEDs on the newly installed module, see the module-specific Supplement included in your upgrade kit. The new module’s LEDs will not indicate data transfer until you have configured and enabled software services.

If the module fails its diagnost ic test, the F ai l LED remains on and th e module LED flashes rapidly.

Installing and Operating BayStack ARN/DC Routers

What to Do Next

Before you can use the WAN adapter module after installation, you must start the router on the network and modify its configuration file to include the new interface.

Note:

BayRS recognizes ARN and ARN/DC WAN adapter module interfaces by their front-panel slot number. For example, even if there is no adapter module installed in slot 1, the interface in slot 2 is named COM2 or ISDN2.

See your module-specific Supplement for a list of software installation tasks and related documentation.

Using the ifconfig Command

A router interface cannot communicate in an IP network without an IP address. Because an ARN/DC netboots over one of its serial, 56/64K DSU/CSU or Ethernet links, the netboot interface must have a valid IP address.

You use the interface configuration command

ifconfig

to do the following:

• Configure the router’s initial IP interface to the network. (The initial IP

interface shou ld be a ser ial in te rf ace if yo u are usi ng EZ-In stal l.) You also use the same procedure to configur e other serial interfaces for the netbooting procedure.

• Configure Ethernet interfaces for the netbooting procedure.

• Enable or disable netbooting on an interface.

Configuring an IP Serial or DSU/CSU Interface for Netbooting

Configure a serial or 56/64K DSU/CSU (COM) interface to the IP network using the following interface configuration command:
