Canada CS-03 Rules and Regulations

Note:

The Canadian Department of Communications label identiﬁes certiﬁed equipment. The certiﬁcation means that the equipment meets certain telecommunications network protective operations 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 the 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.

Caution:

inspection authority, or electrician, as appropriate.

Note:

qu’il respecte certaines exigences de sécurité et de fonctionnement visant les réseaux de télécommunications. Le ministère ne garantit pas que l’appareillage fonctionnera à la satisfaction de l’utilisateur.

Avant d’installer l’appareillage, s’assurer qu’il peut être branché aux installations du service de télécommunications local. L’appareillage doit aussi être raccordé selon des méthodes acceptées. Dans certains cas, le câblage interne du service de télécommunications utilisé pour une ligne individuelle peut être allongé au moyen d’un connecteur certiﬁé (prolongateur téléphonique). Le client doit toutefois prendre note qu’une telle installation n’assure pas un service parfait en tout temps.

Les réparations de l’appareillage certiﬁé devraient être conﬁées à un service d’entretien canadien désigné par le fournisseur. En cas de réparation ou de modiﬁcation effectuées par l’utilisateur ou de mauvais fonctionnement de l’appareillage, le service de télécommunications peut demander le débranchment de l’appareillage.

Pour leur propre sécurité, les utilisateurs devraient s’assurer que les mises à la terre des lignes de distribution d’électricité, des lignes téléphoniques et de la tuyauterie métallique interne sont raccordées ensemble. Cette mesure de sécurité est particulièrement importante en milieu rural.

Attention:

aux pouvoirs de réglementation en cause ou à un électricien, selon le cas.

Users should not attempt to make such connections themselves, but should contact the appropriate electric

Page 32

Installing and Operating BayStack ARN Routers

Preparing to Install the ARN

Verify the following before beginning the installation, as explained in the sections that follow:

• Your shipment is complete and undamaged.

• You have the proper equipment and tools.

• Your installation site meets physical, electrical, and environmental requirements.

• You have the communications devices and the cabling that you need to attach to the ARN.

Verifying Shipment Contents

We strongly suggest that you inspect all items for shipping damage. If you detect any damage, do not install the ARN. Call the Bay Networks Technical Response Center in your area, as described in “About This Guide.”

In addition to the ARN and this manual, your shipping container should contain several other hardware accessory items. Verify that the items in the shipping container match those on the packing list.

Note: You can ﬁnd the packing list afﬁxed to the shipping container.

Refer to the following checklist when verifying the contents of the shipping container:

__ One power cable for connecting the ARN to a wall outlet. __ One cable kit (Order No. 110310) for connecting an optional local console or

modem. The console/modem cable kit contains one 15-foot AT standard molded serial cable (with DB-9 receptacle to DB-25 plug connectors) and one null modem crossover adapter (with DB-25 to DB-25 receptacle connectors).

__ Two ﬂange brackets and eight #6 ﬂathead screws. __ Four #10 cagenut screws and washers for rack-mounting the ARN. __ Four rubber feet (for table-top operation).

Supplying Equipment

You may need items that are not part of the ARN accessory package. Before installing the ARN hardware, ensure that you have all the cables, tools, and other equipment that you need.

Cables

Unless they were speciﬁcally ordered, the cables necessary for your network conﬁguration are not part of the ARN accessory package. If you do not have the proper cables, contact your network administrator or see the Cable Guide for

Routers and BNX Platforms.

Service Console

You can attach an optional VT-100 console (or equiv alent) to the ARN to monitor the results of startup diagnostics and perform manual boot conﬁgurations. Or you can attach any AT-compatible modem to allow remote dial-in access to diagnostics and conﬁguration.

Note: To use the Netboot, Directed Netboot, or Local Boot conﬁguration

options (see Chapter 3), you must have a local terminal connected the ﬁrst time the ARN powers up.

Mounting Hardware

To rack-mount the ARN, you need a Phillips screwdriver and an electronic enclosure 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)

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

igure 1-1) to use with the cagenut screws.

1-4 114200 Rev. A

Page 35

Verifying Site Requirements

The installation site must provide a certain amount of free space around the ARN to dissipate heat, as detailed in T

Table 1-1. Installation Space Requirements

Width Depth (minimum) Depth (for servicing)

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

In addition, the installation site must meet the electrical and environmental speciﬁcations listed in Appendix C.

Caution: You must use grounded electrical power outlets with the ARN.

Installing the ARN

Installing the BayStack Advanced Remote Node

able 1-1.

Once you are ready to install the ARN in its ﬁnal location, you can

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

• Mount the ARN in an electronic enclosure rack.

Positioning the ARN on a Flat Surface

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

• Large enough for the ARN to operate properly

• Sturdy enough to support the combined weight of the ARN and any cables that you connect

We recommend that you place the self-adhesive, rubber feet on the bottom of the ARN chassis (shipped with the ARN). These feet not only protect the surface on which you position the ARN, they provide added friction against the weight of any cables that you attach to the device.

114200 Rev. A 1-5

Page 36

Installing and Operating BayStack ARN Routers

Rack-Mounting the ARN

For this procedure, you need

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

• Two ﬂange brackets and eight #6 ﬂathead screws (shipped with the ARN)

• A Phillips screwdriver

• An electronic enclosure rack

Note: If the rack does not have threaded rail holes, you must supply and attach

four cagenuts.

To rack-mount the ARN:

1. Attach a ﬂange bracket to both sides of the ARN.

On each side of the chassis:

a. Align the holes in the longer end of the ﬂange bracket with the

mounting holes near the front panel of the ARN (F

igure 1-2).

b. Insert a #6 ﬂathead screw through each hole and into the ARN. c. Tighten the four screws with a Phillips screwdriver.

Chapter 2

Starting the ARN

The ﬁrst time you start the ARN, you complete an important software conﬁguration process -- you provide the ARN with the ﬁles it needs to operate over the network. This chapter discusses the need for these speciﬁc startup ﬁles, what methods you can use to ensure that the router installs and uses the appropriate ﬁles, and how to use each of these installation methods.

Note: Coordinate the initial startup of the ARN with your network

administrator. This person refers to Conﬁguring Remote Access to determine which software conﬁguration option is best for your site and for instructions on setting up a boot server.

Software Installation

Before it can operate, the ARN hardware must install two startup ﬁles -- a software image and a conﬁguration ﬁle.

The software image is a group of executable ﬁles that operate the protocols that the network requires. The process of installing and using this image is called booting. The software image that the ARN uses is called arn.exe.

To bridge and route trafﬁc, the ARN also needs a conﬁguration ﬁle that is tailored to the network. A conﬁguration ﬁle is a binary system 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 PCMCIA Flash cards.

114200 Rev. A 2-1

Page 62

Installing and Operating BayStack ARN Routers

You must complete an initial startup procedure to obtain the executable and default conﬁguration ﬁles and connect the ARN to the network. Getting a ﬁle o ver the network is called network booting, or netbooting. Getting a ﬁle from the ARN ﬁle system, stored in Flash memory, is called local booting.

Caution: The ARN must contain a Flash memory card if you plan to obtain

any startup ﬁles through the local boot procedure. If you attempt to local boot the ARN without the Flash memory card inserted, the router does not operate. Refer to “Installing the Flash Memory Card” in Chapter 1 for instructions.

Understanding the ARN Boot Options

You use one of four boot options to complete software installation: EZ-Install, Netboot, Directed Netboot, or Local Boot. T the sections that follow provide steps for completing each option.

Installing and Operating BayStack ARN Routers

Starting the ARN for the First Time

The ARN f actory defaults are set to ﬁnd the conﬁguration and image ﬁles from the following locations:

• Conﬁguration ﬁle -- over the network

• Image ﬁle -- on the local PCMCIA Flash memory card These default settings work with the default EZ-Install procedure. The ﬁrst time you power on an ARN, the router steps through its diagnostic tests

and then attempts to boot over all of its serial (COM) interfaces using EZ-Install. 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 and manage it remotely. Refer to the next section, “Using EZ-Install,” for more information.

If your network administrator does not conﬁgure the network for EZ-Install, the ARN cannot obtain its conﬁguration ﬁle from the network, and the EZ-Install procedure fails. The ARN then attempts to boot locally with the conﬁguration ﬁle that resides on its Flash memory card. Refer to “Using Netboot, Directed Netboot, or Local Boot” for more information.

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 boots successfully.

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

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

the ARN.

2-4 114200 Rev. A

Page 65

Using EZ-Install

EZ-Install is the default installation option. This option requires that your network administrator has set up the network so that you can start the EZ-Install procedure. In addition, this option requires that you

• Install a Flash memory card.

• Connect at least one serial (COM) interface to the network. Refer to Chapter 1 for instructions on how to perform any of these tasks.

Note: If your ARN does not have a COM interface, you must conﬁgure the

ARN using netboot or directed netboot over an Ethernet, token ring, or DSU/CSU interface, or local boot the ARN and run the Quick-Start script. Go to the next section, “Using Netboot, Directed Netboot, or Local Boot,” for more information.

To use EZ-Install:

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

Starting the ARN

The ARN comes on and activates EZ-Install.

Note: If you power on the ARN before the network administrator is ready,

restart the ARN by pressing the reset button on the rear panel. See Chapter 3 for more information on resetting the ARN.

2. Ensure that the ARN boots correctly.

When the ARN boots, its LEDs ﬂash in a particular order. See Chapter 3 for information on checking the ARN front-panel LEDs to ensure that the installation was successful and that the router is operating properly.

114200 Rev. A 2-5

Page 66

Installing and Operating BayStack ARN Routers

Using Netboot, Directed Netboot, or Local Boot

You must use a command line interface that accesses the router software when you netboot or local boot the ARN. To use a command line interface, you can

• Wait for the ARN to local boot (that is, wait for the router to fail EZ-Install and then attempt to boot using its local conﬁguration ﬁle). After the ARN boots locally, you can log in to the Technician Interface and redeﬁne the boot process.

• Interrupt the boot process using a break sequence and log in to the ARN 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 power cable.

• Install a Flash memory card.

Refer to Chapter 1 for instructions on how to perform these tasks.

Interrupting the Boot Process

Interrupting the boot process automatically starts the ARN monitor. Using the ARN monitor allows you to bypass the EZ-Install procedure.

Note: Before you power on the ARN, make sure that you have installed the

router and connected the necessary management console equipment (refer to Chapter 1 for instructions).

To interrupt the boot process:

1. Press the power switch on the ARN back panel to the On position.

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

2-6 114200 Rev. A

Page 67

While the router is running the EZ-Install procedure, issue a break

sequence from the management console.

The ARN 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 equipment type. Some console terminals have speciﬁc break keys on their keyboards; other management terminals require a speciﬁc key sequence to issue a break (for example,

Cntrl-C or ~ #). Refer to your console terminal or terminal emulator

documentation for the break sequence speciﬁc to your console equipment.

Ensuring a Successful Installation

After connecting the ARN to the netw ork, you can ensure a successful installation by checking the diagnostic LEDs on the front panel of the base module (refer to

igure 3-1).

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

• All base module LEDs light momentarily; 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 completes all diagnostic tests.

• 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.

Operating the ARN

• After completing the diagnostic testing procedure, the boot process begins. The Run and Boot LEDs indicate the boot status as shown in T

Table 3-11. Boot Status LEDs

able 3-11.

• After the boot process completes, the Run LED lights and the Boot LED turns off, indicating that the ARN is operational.

If the LEDs on the ARN light in this sequence, your installation is successful. Contact your network administrator to verify that the ARN is now connected to the network.

114200 Rev. A 3-9

Page 88

Installing and Operating BayStack ARN Routers

If the LEDs do not light in this sequence, your network administrator can refer to Conﬁguring Remote Access to help troubleshoot the problem.

Note: If the ARN does not contain an expansion module, an adapter module, a

redundant power supply, a data collection module, or a Flash card, the LEDs associated with these components remain off.

If you need additional assistance, contact your local Bay Networks Technical Response Center.

Powering On and Off the ARN

The ARN power switch is located on the back panel (Figure 3-2). To power on an ARN, press the power switch to the ON position (1). To power off the ARN, press the power switch to the OFF position (0).

Note: To ensure a complete po wer cycle, we recommend that you w ait at least
