Introduction to the Octal V.35-Quad 10/100 RIOP 1

Introduction to the Octal V.35-Quad 10/100 RIOP

The Octal V.35-Quad 10/100 Routing Input/Output Processor (RIOP), as part of the VSR multigigabit switching router, allows you to connect up to four local Ethernets and up to eight remote corporate networks. Each of the V.35 interfaces has a data capacity of up to 2.048 Mbps, while each Ethernet interface can operate at either 10 Mbps or 100 Mbps.
This section of the manual contains information specific to the Octal V.35-Quad 10/100 RIOP. It is divided into the following sections:
Chapter 1: Network Installation
Here you will find step-by-step instructions on how to physically install the Octal V.35-Quad 10/100 and connect it to your network.
Chapter 2: Quickstart Configuration
The Quickstart section provides a basic list of parameters that must be entered into the Octal V.35-Quad 10/100 for proper operation.
Chapter 3: Shipping Defaults
This section of the manual lists factory defaults for the interfaces.
Chapter 4: LED Patterns
This section of the manual describes the LED indicators for the Octal V.35-Quad 10/100.
Appendix A: Cable Pin Outs
This section of the manual describes the pin-outs for the V.35 connector cables.

Octal V.35-Quad 10/100 RIOP Front Panel
This section of the manual will help you install the Octal V.35-Quad 10/100 RIOP to connect up to four local Ethernets and up to eight remote corporate networks. These connections can be made to other Compatible Systems devices or internetworking equipment from other vendors.
In summary, the steps for installation are:
1. After mounting the router or placing on a desktop, make sure it is not connected to any power source.
2. Connect the router to the Ethernet network(s).
3. Connect the router to the wide area communications device(s).
4. Connect a management console to the router (optional).
5. Power up the communications device(s).
6. Plug in the power cable and power up the router.

Connecting the Octal V.35-Quad 10/100 to the Ethernet

The four 10/100 Ethernet interfaces directly support 100BaseTx or 10BaseT twisted-pair Ethernet. To connect one of the router’s Ethernet interfaces to twisted-pair Ethernet cabling, you will need an unshielded twisted-pair station cable that is already connected 10BaseT-compatible twisted-pair hub (for a transmit speed of 10 Mbps) or a 100Mbps Fast Ethernet hub (for a transmit speed of 100 Mbps).
v
Note: Ethernet cables and cable connectors are not supplied with the Octal V.35-Quad
10/100 RIOP product. Category 5 cabling is required for 100 BaseT operation. Please contact your reseller or your Compatible Systems representative for information on obtaining the correct Ethernet cabling supplies.
To connect the router to the twisted-pair network, simply plug the twisted-pair cable into one of the RJ-45 Ethernet connectors on the front of the unit.

Telco Line Connection Requirements

The Octal V.35-Quad 10/100 is not a line communications device. In order to connect each V.35 port to a wide area transmission line, you must use a 56K CSU/DSU, ISDN Terminal Adapter, or T1/E1 CSU/DSU. Which of these devices you use depends on the type of telco line you are connecting to.

v
Note: Before attempting to connect the Octal V.3 5-Quad 10/100 to a leased telco line, use
the loopback features of your CSU/DSUs to check the line. This can save you a considerable amount of time, since the more equipment you have on the line, the more difficult it becomes to determine where a problem is occurring.
