BIANCA/BRICK-X21 GETTING STARTED

Installing the BRICK

Select a ﬂat, stable location for your BRICK and connect the included cables to the ports located on the back plane as shown in the diagram below.

All the examples in this documentation are for the

BRICK-X21with aFast Ethernetadapter (CM-100BT),one

ISDN adapter (CM-2BRI) and an X.21 adapter (CM-X21).

Step 1

Connect the includedlaplink cable to your terminal or computer and the9 pin serial port.

Step 2

Connect your BRICK to your ethernet’s cabling using the UTP port.

Step 5

Connect the power cord to the BRICK-X21 and your local power supply.

Step 3

Connect the included ISDN cable (RJ-45) to your BRICK’s ISDNport(s) andyourISDN outlet.

Step 4

Connect the included X.21 cable to your BRICK’s X.21 port and your X.21 outlet.

Note that the BRICK-X21 does not have a power switch. The system will power up as soon as it is connected to

your power source. You may decide to wait until you’re ready to access the BRICK before connecting the power source.

LED Indicators

☞ ☞

INSTALLING THE BRICK

Each time you power up the system, the BRICK switches intoPower Up Modeand performsaself-test toverify the integrity of the system. The LEDs on the front panel correspond to various stages of the test.

Upon successfulcompletion of the self test, theBRICK then switches into BOOTmonitor Mode, (the middle six LEDs remain on) as described in the User’s Guide.

If the ERR indicator remains on (see table below) there may be a problem with the cabling. Verify the ISDN and LAN cabling is correct and power up the system again.

Also note that the once the rooter is up, the system may beaccessed via theISDN using thefactory-set passwords. Changing the default passwords is described on page 14.

Conﬁguration with Setup Tool (p.13)

1. First, you will needto know several pieces ofinfor-

mation about your network setup. At a minimum

you will need toknowthe information listed in the

table shownon the following page. Fill inthe ﬁelds

now and refer to them later when needed.

2. Next, you needto decide whether youwant to con-

ﬁgureyourBRICKoverits Ethernet,ISDN, orserial

port. The section Accessing the BRICK describes the

possible ways of gaining access to your new

BRICK.

Nomatter whichmethod youselect,you willarrive

at an SNMP shell login prompt and can continue

with the conﬁguration using the Setup Tool.

3. The last step involves logging into the BRICK as

admin, using the bintec password, and issuing

setup at the shell prompt. Using the Setup Tool is

the easiest way toget your BRICK up and running.

After logging into the BRICK, use the information

you gathered for your local setup, and proceed to

the section Conﬁguration with Setup Tool.

The simplest method involves using the Setup Toolover a Serial Connection. This method requires a terminal or a computer running a terminal program to be attached directly to the BRICK’s serial port.

BIANCA/BRICK-X21 GETTING STARTED

Over Serial Port

With a terminal or terminal program (UNIX or PC)

• Connect the computer or terminal using the included cable to the BRICK’s serial port.

• Set your communications parameters to: 9600 bps, 8 data bits, no parity, 1 stop bit, softwarehandshake (XON,XOFF) andVT100 terminal emulation.

• After pressing the <Return> key, you should receive a login prompt.

ForWindowsPCs: You can alsouse thepreconﬁgured terminal programs BRICK at COM1/COM2 included in the BRICKware suite.

• Continue with the Conﬁguration with Setup Tool as described on page 13.

Over LAN Interface

From a Windows PC using DIME Tools

You can access the BRICK from a Windows PC on the LAN. This requiresBRICKwareand a TCP/IP stack to be installed on a PC on the same LAN segment as the BRICK. Power up your BRICK; then with DIME Tools running:

•ABootP Server window will open automatically once the PC receives a BOOTP request from the BRICK.

• In this window, enter the BRICK’s IP address, netmask, and hostname. The nameserver and timeserver’s address can also be set here.

• Using a VT100compatible telnetprogram, telnet to your BRICK using the IP address you assigned it with BootP Server.

• Continue with the Conﬁguration with Setup Tool as described on page 13.

Over ISDN

CONFIGURATION

From any computer using telnet

Once the BRICK is assigned it’s IP address (i.e. using BRICKwareand BootP Server as mentionedabove)you can access thesystem from any computer on the LAN.

• Using a VT100compatible telnetprogram, telnet to the BRICK at it’s IP address.

• Continue with the Conﬁguration with Setup Tool as described on page 13.

From a computer connected to another BRICK

The BRICK automatically conﬁgures its ISDN interface at boot time if the system is attached to an ISDN dialupline.Youcanloginto yournewBRICKfrom this computer over ISDN using the isdnlogin program.

• Login to your existing BRICK.

• At the shell prompt, issue isdnlogin <telno> where telno is the ISDN number your new BRICK is connected to.

• Continue with the Conﬁguration with Setup Tool as described on page 13.

Additional Conﬁguration Possibilities

SNMP shell

Of course, the BRICK can be conﬁgured manually from the SNMP shell or by using an external SNMP manager such asDIMEBrowser for Windows. Thesemechanisms require a greater understanding of the BRICK’s internal data structures, SNMP, and the MIB (management information base).

For information on working with the SNMP shell or using DIME Browser, refer to the Software Reference and BRICKwarefor Windowsrespectively(both areincludedon the Companion CD).

BIANCA/BRICK-X21 GETTING STARTED

Third party SNMP Manager

The BRICK can also be conﬁgured using third party SNMP Managers such as HP OpenView, Sun/Netmanager, and Transview. The Management Information Base implemented on the BRICK must be imported into your SNMP manager. The complete MIB is included on the Companion CD. See your SNMP manager documentation on importing MIBs.

For information on conﬁguration management and

the transfer of conﬁguration ﬁles to/from remote hosts via TFTP refer to the BRICK User’s Guide.

Testing your Conﬁguration

LAN Test

ISDN Test

To test your new conﬁguration try issuing a simple ping command to a PC ontheBRICK’s LAN to verify the LAN interface is properly conﬁgured. In our example, we would issue:

ping -c 5 199.1.1.1

If theLAN portion of theconﬁguration was successful

you should receive output similar to the following:

PING 199.1.1.1: 64 date bytes

64 bytes from 199.1.1.1: icmp_seq=0. time=8. ms

64 bytes from 199.1.1.1: icmp_seq=1. time=1. ms

64 bytes from 199.1.1.1: icmp_seq=2. time=1. ms

64 bytes from 199.1.1.1: icmp_seq=3. time=1. ms

64 bytes from 199.1.1.1: icmp_seq=4. time=1. ms

----199.1.1.1 PING Statistics----

5 packets transmitted, 5 packets received, 0% packet loss

round-trip (ms) min/avg/max = 1/2/8

To verify the ISDN portion of the conﬁguration is correct, try the samecommand using the IP address of the remote router (200.1.1.1 in our example) or a host on the remote LAN.

Ifthe pingcommand to theremoterouter issuccessful,

try issuing another ping command using the IP address of a computer on the remote partner’s LAN.

Once all ping commands are successful, your conﬁg-

uration is complete.

Troubleshooting

If anyof the ping commands areunsuccessful, refer tothe Troubleshooting chapter in the BRICK User’s Guide.

Setting up a BinTec Router in the UK

To get your BinTec router up and running in the UK you should follow the UK-speciﬁc instructions given below.

Please note that we will use the term BRICK here to in-

Differences in the UK

clude all models of the BIANCA/BRICK family of routers.

IN THE UK

Multiple Subscriber Numbering (MSN)

In the UK, unlike in other European countries, you only get one ISDN telephone number by default.

This makes accepting calls for different ISDN services a little more difﬁcult—a solution is presented on the following pages.

An optional service called MSN (Multiple Subscriber Numbering) is availableat a charge, and providesa block of ten consecutive numbers for incoming callers to use (e.g. 811910, 811911, …, 811919).

If you want to use the CAPI services (e.g. Euro ﬁle transfer or Fax server)ofyour BRICK in addition to TCP/IP or PPP connections, you will have to order the MSN service from your telephone company.

BINTEC ROUTERS IN THE UK

Calling Line Identiﬁcation (CLIP)

The CLIP feature (calling line identiﬁcation presentation) is also a purchasable option.

For security reasons PPP connections should there-

fore be conﬁgured to use either the PAP or the CHAP authentication protocols—or both—for incoming call identiﬁcation; see section WAN Partner / PPP on pages 31 (Setup Tool) or 34 (SNMP client shell).

Also note that international calls from the Republic of

Ireland do not contain a CLI information.

If you want the additional security of calling line identi-

☞

ﬁcation for PPP connections, both you and your communication partner(s) have to order the CLIP feature.

International ISDN Calls

The code for dialling international ISDN calls from the UK is not 00 (as with normal voice calls), but 000. The

British Telecom willsometimes route callsprecededby 00 over normal audio lines, even when they originate from the ISDN.

Conﬁguring your BRICK

The UK-speciﬁcsettings for your BRICK aredescribedon the following pages. The ﬁrst section (starting below) deals withconﬁguring your BRICK using thebuilt-in Setup Tool, subsequently (from page 33) the same settings are explained using the BRICK’s SNMP Client Shell.

Setup Tool

Follow the instructions from the “Getting Started” manual up to “Incoming Call Answering”.

SETTING UP A BINTEC ROUTER IN THE UK

Routing

In this menu you will specify how your BRICK responds to incoming ISDN calls and which services it will support.

SNMP Client Shell

If you want to conﬁgureyour BRICK from the SMNP Client Shell (see User’s Guide), you can enter the following commands directly at the BRICK’s command prompt after logging in to your BRICK as user admin with the password bintec (please refer to your Getting Started manual for different ways of accessing your BRICK).

Routing To enable routing (via IP, IPX, X.25, or bridging) enter

the following commands:

isdnDispatchTable

This will display the isdnDispatchTable, which should be empty if you access your BRICK for the ﬁrst time. Here you can create an entry to accept incoming PPP calls. The LocalNumber ﬁeld can remain empty— this will accept all PPP calls received by your BRICK.

StkNumber=0 Item=ppp

ISDN (e.g. from another BRICK) you have to enter the following command:

isdnLoginOnPPPDispatch=allow

This allows incoming ISDN calls with an ISDN service indicator of “telephony” to be connected to the isdnlogin daemon even though the call has a matching service in the isdnDispatchTable (isdnDspItem).

To login to your BRICK from another BRICK use the command

isdnlogin ‹ISDN number of your BRICK› telephony

If you are already using a BinTec ISDN product for UNIX you can enter the line

BINTEC ROUTERS IN THE UK

to your /usr/bianca/conﬁg/services ﬁle and then use the command

to login to your BRICK.

* bricktel 001001

isilogin -s bricktel ‹ISDN number of your BRICK›

WAN Partner / PPP

Now you can setup a PPP interface for incoming calls.

First create a new entry in the biboPPPTable, select both CHAP and PAP as authentication protocols, and enter the name and password for your communications partner:

biboPPPType=isdn_dialup ➯

biboPPPAuthentication=both ➯ biboPPPAuthIdent=partnerbrick ➯ biboPPPAuthSecret=secret

Then display the biboPPPTable and note down the

IfIndex ofthis entry. Youcan nownamethe interface entry by assigning a new value to the Descr ﬁeld with the appropriate IfIndex in the IfTable.

IfTable

Descr:‹inx›=partnerbrick

Finally enter the ISDN number of your communica-

tion partner in the biboDialTable:

biboDialTable

1. The arrows “➯” atthe end of these lines indicate that the command

continues on the next line, and you have to type all the lines as one command (entering the “Return” key only after the last line).

SETTING UP A BINTEC ROUTER IN THE UK

IfIndex=partnerbrick ➯ Number=‹ISDN number› ➯ Direction=outgoing

Now all incoming calls and outgoing calls to your partner are handled by the PPP interface.
