1.1 X4100/200/300 – Workgroup Access

Router for Present and Future Applica­tions

The ext ension capability of X4100/200/300 makes the multi protocol router a fu -
ture-oriented and flexible investment. X4100/200/300 with its RISC CPU is ex-
tremely powerful and capable of meeting future requirements.

Basic unit The basic units can be mounted in a 19-inch cabinet using brackets. The stan-

dard equipment of the basic units includes a 10/100 BT Ethernet interface, an
ISDN BRI interface and a serial console interface.

The stand ard equi pment of t he X4 100 basi c u nit al so i ncludes a 10 BT Ethe rnet
interface for xDSL.

The stand ard equi pment of t he X4 200 basi c u nit al so i ncludes a 10 BT Ethe rnet
interface for xDSL and a serial X.21/V.35 interface for leased lines.

The standard equipment of the X4300 basic unit also includes two serial X.21/
V.35 interfaces for leased lines.

Expansion card s A slot for external ly inser ting an ex pansion car d enables X410 0/200/300 to grow

in line with your requi rements, so that you can use the same basic uni t fo r var­ious applications. This ensures a high degree of flexibility.

Resource cards All expansion cards can also be equipped with powerful resource cards. This

makes extr em ely high efficiency and high port or m odem density possible. The
resourc e cards are equ ipped with d igital modem s for analog conn ectio ns or with
encrypt ion and compression modules (HiFn). HiFn encrypts the data to ensure
secure dat a transmission.

Multiprotocol router The flexibl e multip rotoco l router can be used for WAN access , as well as f or re-

mote access server, LAN router, remote CAPI server or fax gat eway (in prepa­ration). X4100/200 /300 supports the prot ocols of t he TCP/IP proto col family and
X.25 (optional) and is also suitable for bridging other protocols based on the
spanning tree method.

Remote CAPI Using BinTec’s remote CAPI interface, applications based on the widely used

CAPI interf ace can be used network-wide. This means the available ISDN con­nectio ns can be used more effecti vely.

14 BinTec Access Networks G m bH

X4100/200/ 300 – Workgroup Access Router for Pr esent and Future Applicat ions

Security The features supplied include BinTec’s well-tried security package SAFER-

TM

NET
Address Translation (NAT) and access passwords. The security functions pro­tect X4100/200/300 and the network connected to it against unauthorized ac-
cess. IPSec is available as an option. X4100/200/300 can also be used to
provide VPNs (PPTP).

Quality of Service More and mor e appli cati ons need i nc reasin gly l arger b andwi dths, which ar e no t

always availabl e. " Q uality of Service" (QoS) makes it possible to use the avail­able bandwidth and dist ribut e the avai labl e resour ces effe ctive ly and i ntelli gent­ly. Certain applications can be given preference and bandwidth reserved for
them. This is an enormous advantage, especially for time-critical applications
such as VoIP, SAP, etc.

xDSL/Cable modem The X4100 and X4200 basic units are equipped with two Ethernet interfaces.

This makes them ideal for operation with various DSL modems (ADSL, SDSL,
etc.) or a cable modem.

. This package contains security technologies such as filters, Network

1

IPSec X4100/200/300 can be optionall y extended with ful l IPSec software, which pro-

vides interoperability with IPSec software from m any other manufacturers. This
software supports features like "Internet Key Exchange", "pre-shared keys",
"Public Key I nfra struct ure" , X.509 v3 c erti ficat es, t unnel and t ranspo rt m ode and
the encryption processes DES, Triple DES, CAST and Blowfish with code
lengths up to 168 bits.

The future New technologies and de vel opments a re vital for BinTec Acc ess Networks Gm-

bH. X4100/200/300’s flexible platform with an expansion slot and a powerful
processor enable the rapid use of new WAN/LAN technologies and features.
This makes X4100/200/300 a future-oriented and migration-capable device.

2 General Safety Precautions

General Safety Precautions in English

The following sections contain safety precautions you are strongly advised to
heed when working with your equipment.

Transport and storage

Installation and

operation

■ Only transport and store X4100/200/300 in its original packaging or use

other appropriate packaging to protect against knocking and shaking.

■ Read the information on the ambient conditions (see Technical Data) be-

fore instal lin g and oper at ing X4100 /200/30 0. Place t he eq uipment on a firm
flat base.

■ Electrostatic charges may cause damage to the equipment. You should

therefore wear a grounded wrist strap or touch a grounded surface before
you touch sockets or extension cards of X4100/200/300. Only grip exten-
sion cards at the edges and do not t ouch components o r conductor tracks.

■ Keep the unused extension slot covered with the dummy cover to prevent

objects getting inside the equipment. Foreign bodies located in the equip­ment during operati on create a danger of elect ric shock and short-ci rcuits.

■ Ensure that no sharp objects can damage the window of the display mod-

ule. Protect the display m odule agains t knocks and dropping and only con­nect it to the RJ11 socket provided for this purpose on X4100/200/300 to
prevent damage to X4100/200/300 and the disp lay module.

■ Make sure the cables do not cover the ventilation slots of t he equipment or

interfere with ventilation. Obstr ucting the ventilation of X4100/200/ 300 may
cause damage to the eq uipment. Damage caused by l ack of ventilation in­validates the guarantee.

■ Never open the basic unit or t am per with the mains unit in any way, as this

can create a lethal danger through electric shock. Don’t remove any fixing
screws on the basic unit.

■ Condensation may occur externally or internally if the equipment is moved

from a colder room to a warmer room. When moving the equipment under
such condition s, a llow ampl e time fo r the equi pment to reach roo m temper -

ature and to dry out compl etely before oper ating. Obser ve the ambient con ­ditions under Technical Data.

■ Make sure the local mains voltage is the same as the nominal voltages of

the mains unit. The equipment may only be operated under the following
conditions.

– 100 - 240 V AC
– 50/60 Hz

■ Make sure the safety mains sock et in the buildi ng is freely accessible. You

must remove the mains plug to disconnect the equipment completely from
the mains.

■ Make sure you follow the correct cabling sequence, as described in the

manual. Use only the cables supplied with the equipment or cables that
meet the specifications in this manual. If you use other cables, BinTec Ac­cess Networks GmbH cannot accept liability for any damage occurring or
for any ad verse effect s on opera tion. Th e equip ment guarant ee is i nvali dat­ed in such cases.

Operation according to

the regulations

■ Connect the equipment as described in the manual.

■ Arrange the cables so that they are not in the way and cannot be tripped

over or damaged.

■ Do not connect, disconnect or touch the data lines during lightning storms.

■ X4100/200/300 is intended for use in offices. As an ISDN multiprotocol

router, X4100/200/300 establishes WAN connections depending on the
system confi guration. To avoid extra charges, you should carefully monitor
the product.

■ X4100/200/300 meets the relevant safety standards for information tech-

nology equipment for use in offices.

■ Operation of the system according to IEC 950/EN 60950 is only guaran-

teed when the top of the housing is fitted (cooling, fire protection, RFI sup­pression).

■ Ambient temperature should not exceed 50 °C. Avoid exposure to direct

sunlight.

■ Make sure no for eign obj ects (e .g. paper clips ) or liqui ds get int o the equi p-

ment (risk of electric shock, short-circuit). Make sure the equipment is suf­ficiently cooled.

■ X4100/200/300 contains no components for the user to replace or any

switches or jumpers that need to be set by the user.

■ In an emergency (e.g. damaged housing or operating element, entry of l iq-

uid or foreign bo dies), immediatel y disconnect the powe r supply and notify
customer service.

Cleaning and re pair

■ The equipment should only be opened by service centers authorized by

BinTec. Always disconnect the power cord before opening the equipment.
Unauthorized openi ng and improper r epairs can resu lt in serious dang er for
the user (e.g. electric shock). Ensure that repairs are only carried out by
service centers authorized by BinTec. Your dealer will tell you where the
service centers are situated. Failure to observe the above instructions in­validates the guarantee and no claims can be acc epted.

■ Never use water to clean this equipment. Water spillage can result in seri-

ous danger for the user (e.g. electric shock) and cause considerable dam­age to the equipment.

■ Never us e scour in g or ab rasiv e alka li ne cl eaning agent s on t hi s equi pment .

➤ enter the IP address and netmask

You then carry out the res t of the configuration steps with the Setup Tool.

4.1.2 Connecting Over the Serial Interface

Initial configu r at io n Connecting over the serial interface is very suitable if you carry out an initial

configuration on X4100/200/300 before you have entered an IP address and
netmask. To c onnect X4 100/200/ 300 to your compu ter over t he serial int erface ,
connect the serial interface on the basic unit of X4100/200/300 to the serial in-
terface of your comput er.

5.1 Overview

Getting started You can use the MMI to enter X4 100/200/300 ’s IP addr ess and netmask without

first having to set up a serial connection to the equipment. This simplifies the
initial conf igurati on, as you can first assign an IP addres s to X4100/200/3 00 and
then set up the equipment and connect it in the planned location. The configu­ration is then carried out from your PC via your network (e.g. using the Setup
Tool).

Status information The display of s tatus infor mation in t he MMI enab les you to m onit or X4100/200/

300 activities without having to log in. This provides an additional diagnostic

tool, which can display information such as the current version of system soft­ware or the activ ities of the equipment int erfaces.

User guide Illuminated input keys and navigation bars simplify operation of the MMI and

guide y ou through t he m enu architecture so that you can make settings in each
menu without having to search for each menu individuall y. You can still open a
certain menu if you wis h.

Logo After switching on, X4100/200/300 fir st performs a few sel ftests and then shows

the equipm ent logo on the displ ay (see fi gure 5-1, page81). Press any inpu t key
to use the MMI. If no more inputs are made for a long period of time, the MMI
returns to the logo. You can set this period of time in the "Display Idle Timer"
menu.

The equipment logo is nor m ally shown on switching on X4100/200/300 or on
expiry of the display idle timer.

You can replace the equipment logo with any MMI menu by showing the
desired menu on the display and then pressing C and OK at the same time.
The correspond ing menu then appears instead of the logo when the idle timer
expires. This enables you, for example, to display a certain interface of X4100/

200/300 for monitoring purposes.

Access protect ion The MMI is operated in Configuration Mode as the default mode and all MMI

functions can be used. In Monitoring Mode, each menu can be displayed, but
entries are only possible to a limited extent. For example, the IP address en­tered can be displayed in Monitori ng Mod e, but not changed.
