This section of the manual will help you install the Octal T1-10/100 RIOP to connect a local Ethernet 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.
3. Connect the router to the T1 transmission equipment.
4. Connect a management console to the router (optional).
5. Plug in the power cable and power up the router.

Connecting the Octal T1-10/100 to the Ethernet

The 10/100 Ethernet interface direc tly supp orts 1 00B as eTx or 10B as eT twisted-pair Ether net. To connect the router’s Ethernet interface to twisted-pair Ethernet cabling, you will need an unshielded twisted-pair station cable that is already connected 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 conn ectors ar e not suppl ied with the O ctal T1-10/ 100 RIOP
product. C ategory 5 ca bling is requir ed for 100 BaseT oper ation. Pl ease contact yo ur r esel ler 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 the RJ-45 Ethernet connector on the front of the unit.

Connecting the Octal T1-10/100 to a T1 Line

T o conn ect each T1 por t to a T1 line, you need an 8- pin connecto r jumper cab le (four wires are used). The jumper cable should already be connected to th e RJ-45 jack which was in stalled by your telephone company.
Plug one of the supplied DB-26 male to Quad RJ-45 cables into the DB-26 T1 female connector on the front of the device. Make sure that the jack screws on the DB-26 connector are secured. Then plug the jumper cable into one of the RJ-45 T1 connectors on the Quad RJ­45 cable.
v
Note: Port numbers 0 - 3 are stamped on each T1 RJ-45 connector. For ports 4 -7, the
connector marked “Port 0” is Port 4, the connector marked “Port 1” is Port 5, etc.

Chapter 1 - Network Installation 3
v Note: The Octal T1-10/100 RIOP includes loopback features which can be used to check the functionality of your T1 lines. Before attempting to route network traffic, use these features to check each lines basic integrity.

Connecting a Management Console

If you wish to connect an out-of-band management console, use the supplied DB-25 male to DB-25 female console cable and connect to the Console interface on the Octal T1-10/100 RIOP. You can use a dumb terminal or a computer equipped with VT100 terminal emulation.
The default settings for the Console interface are VT100 terminal emulation, 9600 bps, 8 bits, no parity, 1 stop bit and no Flow Control.
v
Note: The Octal T1-10/100 RIOP also has an AUX interface. This is a modem connection
which should only be used in consultation with Compatible Systems Technical Support staff, who will provide instruction on its use.

Powering Up the Router

Connect the supplied power cord to the front of the VSR and set the power switch to “On.” At power-up, the router will take approximately one minute to become visible to CompatiView.
v
Note: If you want to use Telnet as a management method, you must first configure an IP
address int o the router with either an ou t-of -ba nd con so le , Compa tiView, or a reconfigured IP host or workstation on the same Ethernet segment as the router. See the appropriate VSR chassis section of the manual for more information on Command Line Management.
Chapter 2 - Quickstart Instructions 4

Chapter 2 - Quickstart Instructions

This Quickstart chapter briefly discusses the major parameters that must be set in order to use the Octal T1-10/100 RIOP as part of your VSR multigigabit switching router.
Detailed information on the meaning of the routers parameters is provided in the Compa-
tiView Management Software Reference Guide and the Text-Based Configuration and Command Line Management Reference Guide. You should use this list as a starting point to
look up more specific information in the other documents. If you need more general information on IP, IPX, AppleTalk or wide area protocols, see the
Appendices in the CompatiView Management Software Reference Guide. There are a number of parameter settings which are optional, in the sense that they are not
required for all installations. These settings are not covered in this chapter. In this chapter:
CV = CompatiView TB = Text-Based Configuration
In order to successfully connect to an Internet Service Provider (ISP), you must use router configuration parameters which will be provided by the technical staff of the ISP. These parameters must include all IP addresses, WAN settings and any applicable authorization routines. Please check with your ISP before changing the configuration of your Octal T1-10/ 100 RIOP.
v
Note: This Quickstart does not include information on setting up packet filters for using the
router as a Firewall. Se e the CompatiView Management Software Reference Guide or Text- Based Configuration and Command Line Management Reference Guide regarding IP packet filters for more information.

Ethernet Interface Confi guration

Ethernet interfaces are considerably easier to set up than wide area interfaces since there are fewer choices that need to be made regarding communications protocols and parameters. We recommend that you begin by configuring any Ethernet interf ace parameters before proceeding to configure WAN interface parameters.

IP Protocol

Required for IP
These parameters set the basic address characteristics of the interface. They provide enough information for another IP node to find the interface (such as a Telnet client), but not enough information for routing to take place.
IP address
IP subnet mask
IP broadcast address
CV: Use the TCP/IP Routing: Ethernet 0 Dialog Box to set these parameters. TB: Use the configure command and set the IPAddress, SubnetMask, and IPBroadcast
keywords in the IP Ethernet 0 section.
Suggested for IP
These parameters help supply information a bout the segment that the interface is connected to. With this information, routing can take place.
Set IP RIP 1, IP RIP 2 or OSPF (Open Shortest Path First)

IPX Protocol

Chapter 2 - Quickstart Instructions 5
IP static routes
CV: Use the TCP/IP Routing: Ethernet 0 Dialog Box to set RIP, and the IP Static Routing Dialog Box (under Global/IP Static Routes) to set static routes. OSPF can only be configured using text-based configuration.
TB: Use configure and set either the RIPVersion keyword or the OSPFEnabled keyword for the IP Ethernet 0 section. Use edit config and add static routes in the IP Static section.
Required for IPX
Generally, there are no required changes from the shipping Ethernet configuration for IPX. The Ethernet interface will autoconfigure to use the two most common IPX frame types, and will adapt to conditions on the Ethernet.
Suggested for IPX
You may want to s et yo ur ow n n etwo rk n umb ers , rat her t han using the autoconfigured val ues. You may also want to turn off unused frame types.
CV: Use the IPX Routing: Ethernet 0 Dialog Box. TB: Use configure and set keywords in the IPX Ethernet 0 section.

AppleTalk Protocol

Required for AppleTalk
Generally, there are no required changes from the shipping Ethernet configuration for Apple­Talk. The Ethernet interface will autoconfigure to use AppleTalk Phase 2, and will adapt to conditions on the Ethernet.
Suggested for AppleTalk
You may want to s et yo ur ow n n etwo rk n umb ers , rat her t han using the autoconfigured val ues. You may also want to use more meaningful zone names.
CV: Use the AppleTalk Routing: Ethernet 0 Dialog Box. TB: Use configure and set keywords in the AppleTalk Phase 2 Ethernet 0 section.

DECnet Protocol

Required for DECnet
The routers shipping configuration does not have DECnet turned on. In order to be used, DECnet must be turned on both globally and for a particular port.
Set DECnet on (globally, and for this port)
Set DECnet area
Set DECnet node
CV: Use the DECnet Routing Dialog Box (under Global/DECne t Routing) and the DECnet: Ethernet 0 Dialog Box.
TB: Use configure and set the Mode keyword in the DECnet Ethernet 0 section. Use configure and set the Enabled, Area, and Node keywords in the DECnet Global section.
v
Note: Setting DECnet on for any port with the command line also sets DECnet on globally.
In CompatiView you must set a global parameter and a port-specific parameter.
Suggested for DECnet
Setting the parameters above should be adequate for most installations.
Chapter 2 - Quickstart Instructions 6

WAN Interface Configuration

The default setting for all WAN interfaces on your Octal T1-10/100 RIOP is Off for all proto­cols and for the link configuration. In order to use a WAN interface, you may first need to set some physical parameters and then set up the link and protocol parameters.

T1 Physical Communications Settings

Required for Dedicated Line Operation
No changes from the default values are required for standard operation over a T1 line. The default values are listed in Chapter 3.
Suggested for Dedicated Line Operation
Changing to fractional T1, different coding or framing, etc., may be required for a particular installation.
CV: Use the Physical Configuration: WAN Dialog Box. TB: Use configure and the T1 Interface WAN 0 (and/or any other port you wish to con figure)
section.

PPP Configuration

This section covers the settings required for PPP (point-to-point) protocol operation of the T1 WAN interfaces.
WAN Link Configuration
Required for Dedicated Line Operation
This is the only mode of operation supported via the built-in T1 CSU/DSU.
Set PPP connection
CV: Use the Link Configuration: WAN Dialog Box. TB: Use configure and then set the Mode keyword in the Link Config WAN 0 (and/or any
other port you wish to configure) section.

TB: Use configure and then set the Mode and ConnectMode keywords in the Link Config WAN 0 (and/or any other port you wish to configure) section.
Suggested for Dedicated Line Operation
Dedicated line operation generally does not require additional parameters for operation.
Frame Relay DLCI Mappings
If you are connecting to another Compatible Systems router, this information is not required for Frame Relay operation. Compatible Systems uses IARP (Inverse Address Resolution Protocol) to dynamically generate this information. To connect to other vendors routers which do not support IARP, you must provide DLCI-to-protocol mapping information.
v
Note: Many Internet Service Providers (ISP’s) do not support IARP as a default. If your
WAN interface will be connected to an ISP via Frame Relay, check with your ISP technical staff on whether or not you must manually enter DLCI information.
CV: Use the DLCI Mapping Database Dialog Box (under WAN/Link Configuration/DLCI button).
TB: Use configure and set the DLCI keyword in the Frame Relay WAN 0 (and/or any o ther port you wish to configure) section.
IP Protocol
There are two ways to set up Frame Relay. One is to set the WAN interface as a “numbered interface. This means that the interface (and thus the Frame Relay network) will have an IP address, subnet mask, etc. The other is to set it as an unnumbered interface and specify that the link is point-to-point Frame Relay and set the local DLCI. Unnumbered Frame Relay can only be configured using text-based configuration. Instructions are provided for both options.
Required for IP Numbered Interface
IP numbered interface
IP address
IP subnet mask
IP broadcast address
CV: Use the TCP/IP Routing: WAN Dialog Box. TB: Use the configure command and the Numbered, IPAddress, SubnetMask, and

CV: Use the DECnet Routing Dialog Box (under Global/DECne t Routing) and the DECnet: WAN Dialog Box.
TB: Use configure and set the Mode keyword in the DECnet WAN 0 (and/or any other port you wish to configure) section.
v
Note: Setting DECnet on for any port with the command line also sets DECnet on globally.
In CompatiView you must set a global parameter and a port-specific parameter.

SMDS Configuration

This section covers the settings required for SMDS (Switched Multi-megabit Data Service) operation of the T1 WAN interfaces (IP only). SMDS is a connectionless, packet-switched service that offers LAN-to-LAN connectivity across a wide area at up to 1.544 Mbps. SMDS addresses and other parameters can only be set using the command line interface.
v
Note: The IP protocol settings and the physical communication settings are the same as they
would be for Frame Relay operation. The only parameters which sh ould be set differently for SMDS are the Link Configuration and the SMDS addressing section.
