Introduction to the Octal T1-10/100 RIOP

The Octal T1-10/100 Routing Input/Output Processor (RIOP), as part of the VSR multigigabit switching router, allows you to connect a local Ethernet and up to eight remote corporate networks. Each of the T1 interfaces has a data capacity of 1.544 Mbps, while the Ethernet interface can operate at either 10 Mbps or 100 Mbps.
This section of the manual contains information specific to the Octal T1-10/100 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 T1-10/100 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 T1-10/100 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 T1-10/100.

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.
