1 INTRODUCTION
The Internet Protocol-Data Service Unit (IP-DSU) allows for an incremental transition
from your existing network to the more flexible world of seamless interoperability that is
inherent in routed IP networking technology.
The IP-DSU allows IP networks to carry both their original traffic and BNS-2000/BNS2000 VCS (or similar legacy device) trunk traffic simultaneously. It replaces an existing,
conventional DSU on each end of a private-line circuit and eliminates the interconnecting
dedicated facility, since the BNS traffic can now be carried over an IP network. This
represents enormous savings for each trunk facility eliminated. Existing cabling between
the BNS-2000/BNS-2000 VCS entity and the conventional DSU can usually be reused.
Typical use of the IP-DSU is illustrated in the following diagram.

configuration. Supported speeds range from 9600 bps to T1
(1.544 Mbps). Line encoding of NRZ, NRZI, and inverted
NRZI are supported.
The IP-DSU is easy to manage, providing several easy ways to configure and access
status/diagnostic information. A telnet connection to the IP-DSU using the standard
telnet server port (port 23), gives access to a command-line-based configuration
application. In addition, a serial RS232-C connection offers the same configuration
capability. Finally, the IP-DSU is another network element that the StarKeeper® II NMS
can administer, manage and maintain.
The IP-DSU can field upgraded. Upgrades are accomplished through two different I/O
interfaces accessed via its I/O board: Telnet or RS-232C.
The IP-DSU houses an SNMP Version 1 agent and supports a large array of MIB
variables. Trap, Set and Get operations are available as well.
The IP-DSU supports up to two TACACS+ RADIUS servers for login authentication.
These are a primary, and a secondary, although each is individually enabled. The
TACACS+ support is for either encrypted, or clear authorization. Encryption keys may
contain spaces.

2 PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION
Stand-Alone IP-DSURack-Mount IP-DSU panel
The compact IP-DSU is available as a stand-alone unit and can also be configured to
mount into an available rack-mount panel, to fit various space and configuration
requirements. It can be configured as either a 115V/220V AC or 48V DC powered unit. It
must be placed at a location with cable access to both the BNS trunk I/O board and the
local IP network.
2.1 Device Interface
Through a DB25 RS530 connector, the IP-DSU supports two software-selectable device
interfaces: V.35 and RS232-C. The female connector electrically presents a data
communication equipment (DCE) interface.
For V.35, a 34-pin electrical interface used for connecting the BNS trunk I/O board to the
IP-DSU, a standard RS530 to V.35 adapter is available.
The IP-DSU DB25 RS530 connector directly supports RS232-C, which, in this case, is a
25-pin electrical interface for connecting the BNS trunk I/O board to the IP-DSU.
2.2 10BaseT LAN Interface
This interface requires a standard RJ45-terminated Category 5 twisted-pair data cable. It
connects to a 10BaseT hub or router on the local LAN segment.
02/02/088
Page 9
IP-DSU User’s Manual
2.3 Console interface
This interface requires a standard RJ45-terminated twisted-pair data cable. It connects
as data terminating equipment (DTE) to an asynchronous device, and uses RS232-C
signaling. Connection to the IP-DSU console is required for initial administration or
StarKeeper® II NMS alarm collection. Otherwise, the console can be disconnected
during normal operation.

2.4 Rack-mount Panel
The IP-DSU rack-mount panel contains twelve slots to accommodate that number of IPDSU units. Each rack-mount panel fits in a 19 or 23 inch EIA standard-equipment rack
(use extension ears when mounting in a 23-inch rack). The rack-mount panel supports 1
inch, 1.75 inch and 2 inch spacing between vertical rail mounting holes. Mounting ears
for IP-DSU placements in the rack-mount panel are available.
2.5 Power Interfaces
Dual power interfaces are present on the IP-DSU faceplate. A circular interface labeled
“5 VDC” mates with the barrel connector of a standard wall outlet AC to DC power
transformer for 115V AC installations. A three position (accepting return, minus and
ground power wires) terminal block labeled “48 VDC” is commonly used in central-office
installations.
The IP-DSU is factory configured for 115V AC usage. 48V DC operation requires a
different jumper setting on the IP-DSU system board. (See Installation Section)
2.5.1 Stand-alone AC Power
For this application, a separate AC power supply is available. The power supply has a
six-foot cable that terminates with a barrel connector. The power supply plugs into a
standard 115V AC outlet. The barrel connector plugs into the circular connector labeled
“5 VDC” on the IP-DSU faceplate.
2.5.2 Rack-mount AC Power
IP-DSU rack-mount AC power is the same as in the stand-alone case. This configuration
requires one AC power supply for each IP-DSU unit. However, it is recommended that

your equipment rack be outfitted with sufficient power strips to accommodate all of the
AC power supplies.
2.5.3 Stand-alone DC Power
The stand-alone IP-DSU accepts DC power input directly from a 48V DC power source
and connects into the three position (accepting return, minus and ground power wires)
terminal block labeled “48 VDC” on the faceplate. The terminal-block connectors
accommodate 14 awg to 24 awg (American Wire Gauge) wire. A strain-relief clamp is
available separately for DC wire stabilization.
2.5.4 Rack-mount DC Power
The rack-mount IP-DSU accepts DC power input directly from a 48V DC power source
and connects into a main, three position (accepting return, minus and ground power
wires) terminal block labeled “48 VDC” on the rack-mount panel faceplate. Power is
distributed to six terminal blocks vertically below the main terminal block, where each
individual terminal block powers a single IP-DSU. Each rack-mount panel accepts two
48V DC power feeds. Twelve IP-DSU units can be powered in this manner. The terminal
block connectors accommodate 10awg to 14awg (American Wire Gauge) wire. A strainrelief clamp is available separately for DC wire stabilization

3.7 Field Upgrade and Software Registration
The IP-DSU, when initially delivered, is fully registered and does not need any keys to
activate the software. Software keys are required when an optional individual feature
packages is added to the device. Finally, when the IP-DSU is upgraded with revised
software, one or more software keys are required to register the installed software and
any feature packages registered for the device.
When performing an upgrade, the revised software is initially downloaded by upgrade
4
into a staging area and is not active. The software then is activated by a reboot. The
new software will execute normally prior to registration. However, no backup, reloads, or
upgrades can be performed. Module level parameters, such as the device IP address,
may be changed and activated. If a user port is taken out of service, the port cannot be
restored.
The procedure for performing a software registration has been mechanized. Manual
procedures are error prone and not recommended. They are no longer covered in this
user manual.
The mechanized Software Upgrade Registration procedure allows simplified
administration of one or more devices. When a quantity of devices are upgraded,
manual software registration of each device has the potential of becoming increasingly
tedious. The mechanized software upgrade registration process was designed to
alleviate the problems associated with multiple device upgrades. It is also preferred for
single device upgrades as it eliminates any potential for error.
The new software is downloaded to the IP-DSU via the upgrade command. This may be
performed for one or more devices. The “-r” option to the dtupgrade command will restart
the device on the new software after the download completes successfully. It is highly
recommended. In the alternative, the device may be downloaded without a restart and
restarted at a later time during a scheduled maintenance window. Restarting the device
on the new software prior to registration is required. After the restart, the devices will
continue to operate normally on the new software without registration. Some operations
interface functions are inhibited pending software registration. Below is an example of a
typical upgrade invocation. Note the use of the “-r” option as it is recommended.

Page 20
IP-DSU User’s Manual
Mechanized registration is performed in three steps. Each of which does not require user
intervention.
The steps are as follows:
1. The getinfo utility is invoked on a file containing a list of devices to be
administered. This file is called the master device list file and is typically
named “dt_device.master”. The master device list file may have any name
and it is provided as an argument to the getinfo utility. The master device list
may also contain devices that do not require registration. The getinfo utility
makes inquiry of each device in the master device list and creates a device
information file named “dt_device.info” in the current directory.
2. The “dt_device.info” file is then sent via email to
keys@trdcusa.com for
registration processing.
3. A file name “dt_device.register” file is returned via email to be used as input
in the next step. A file named “dt_device.msgs” is a text file that may be
displayed or printed showing the results of the registration function.
4. The setreg utility is invoked and uses the “dt_device.register” file provided as
an argument. If no argument is provided, the file is assumed to be in the
current directory. The setreg utility contacts each device that requires
registration and have been assigned keys. One or more keys are installed
during the dialogue.
5. The “dt_device.info” file and the “dt_device.register” file are deleted as they
are transient and have no further value. Neither can be reused for the
purpose of registration. However, the dt_device.info file may be used for
inventory reports..
The source for the registration procedure is the inventory master device list file that is
created, and maintained, by the administrator using their favorite text editor.
The master device list file contains one IP address per line, with an optional TCP port,
and an optional password override, to access the device. The IP address is the console
connection address, and not necessarily the actual device IP address. Registration via
the serial console is explicitly supported. Comments are allowed between addresses,
and after addresses. A password override is only required if the default password of
“initial” has been changed.
# This is a Sample master device list file “device.master”.
# Note that there is one device ( Connect IP Address ) per line.
# TCP Port Override is allowed. Registration may use the serial console.
# Password Override is allowed.
# It is OK to have devices that do not need registration listed for inventory.
# Comments in this file are preceded with a pound symbol.
# Blank Lines are treated as comments.
# Basic Line Format is as follows:
10.0.1.80 # Device at Location ‘A’
192.168.7.82 # Device at Location ‘B’
192.168.7.155 50001 # Example of TCP port Override.
192.168.7.156 50001 –pcustom1 # Example of Password Override.
Once the “dt_device.master” file is prepared, it is used as an input to the getinfo utility.
getinfo dt_device.master
This getinfo utility will collect information on each device in the master file. The getinfo
utility will also make a determination if a registration is actually required. Consequently,
the getinfo utility is also useful in performing inventory functions outside of the device
registration. The output of the getinfo utility is a file named “dt_device.info” that is
always created in the current directory.
The file “dt_device.info” is attached to an email and sent to the address
keys@trdcusa.com. The registration procedure is performed and a file named
“dt_device.register” is attached to return email to the original sender. A messages file
named “dt_device.msgs” is also attached and may be printed as a report of the key
generation function.
After receiving the “dt_device.register” file, the setreg utility is invoked with the relative
path of the “dt_device.register” file as it’s sole argument. The setreg utility will only
02/02/0821

IP-DSU User’s Manual
contact the devices that actually need registration, and for which one or more keys were
successfully generated. All of the appropriate keys, including a device key and multiple
per port feature package keys, are installed by the setreg utility. The device is not
restarted and this operation may occur during normal transport operation.
A report utility devrep is available. The devrep utility uses the “dt_device.info” file to
display the inventory information. The usage is as follows:
devrep [-v] dt_device.info
If the file is not specified, the devrep utility attempts to use the “dt_device.info” file
resident in the current directory.

4 IP-DSU COMMANDS REFERENCE
The following is the complete IP-DSU command set. Except where noted, commands
are visible only when the user is logged in to the console interface.
This command is a security command required for accessing the bulk of the command
set. It is only available when the user is logged off. The command has two forms, and
three modes of operation.
The first syntax example provides legacy compatibility for operations systems that use
that form. The password must contain between one and seven alphanumeric characters.
The typed password is case sensitive.
In the second example, the password is not provided on the command line. The login
command will then prompt for a password. A password given at the prompt will not be
echoed. There is a timeout of approximately 30 seconds on the password prompt.
If one or more TACACS+ RADIUS Servers are defined, the second form is used to log
into the device. When used, a connection is made to the first available server. Prompts
for “Username” and “Password” are requested. These Usernames and Passwords are
administered on the TACACS+ RADIUS server; and not on the device.
4.2 Logout
Syntax: logout
The logout command returns the IP-DSU to its logged-out mode, thus preventing
unauthorized access.
The chgpass command allows the user to change a previously-configured password.
The old password is the one currently in effect. The new and confirm passwords should
be identical. The password must contain between one and seven alphanumeric
characters. The typed password is case insensitive. All arguments are required to
complete the command.

IP-DSU User’s Manual
4.4 Local
Syntax: local ipaddr=<IP address> submask=<submask>
The local(or lo) command sets the address of the IP-DSU, to facilitate communication
with a peer IP-DSU.
5
The ipaddr is the IP address of this unit. The submask is the subnet mask of this unit,
with a default value of 8 bits (255.255.255.0).
The dest(or de) command specifies the IP address of the peer IP-DSU. All data leaving
through the unit’s 10Base-T LAN interface is destined for another IP-DSU with this
configured IP address. Address resolution occurs when the unit is restored to service.
By default, UDP is used for data transport. This is the recommended transport protocol.
The IP-DSU, using UDP, will minimize delay, optimize throughput, and preserve the
error handling methods of the network. This means that the connected network, whether
it is BNS-2000, SNA, X.25, Frame Relay, or SMDS DXI, will maintain its inherent error
recovery scheme. Re-transmissions (if necessary) will continue to be performed by the
end devices.
The trans parameter allows the user to instead select TCP transport. TCP formalizes a
set of rules by which lost data is re-transmitted, and by which out-of-sequence data is
reorganized on a per-byte basis (neither of which is done by UDP). It is typically used for
asynchronous terminal server connections (telnet over TCP). For using TCP, one IP-DSU is considered the call originator and the peer unit is considered the call receiver,
hence the TCPORIG and TCPRCV options. For correct operation, the IP-DSU and its
peer must have the opposite options if TCP is being used.
The TCP transport rate should not exceed 56 Kbps., whereas the default UDP transport
option is capable of transmission rates up to T1 (1.544 Mhz).
4.6 Gateway
Syntax: gateway ipaddr=<IP address>
The gateway(or ga) command specifies the IP address of the local gateway router, if
any. If the remote IP-DSU resides on a different LAN, the gateway is the first hop data
travels through to reach it.
5
References to a peer IP-DSU include the use of a Universal Trunk Module (UTM) optioned for “IPDSU”
trunk type as the peer.

4.7 Port
Syntax: port [type=<SWT|SAMWT|T1|DDS|HDLC>]
[phy=<232|V35>]
[speed=<dev_speed>]
[enc=<dev_encoding>]
The port(or pt) command specifies the BNS trunk I/O board interface used to connect
to the IP-DSU. The command consists of four attributes: type, phy, speed, and enc.
The type attribute may be set to T1, SWT, DDS, or HDLC. The T1 attribute is for a BNS
Trunk-T1. The SWT attribute is for a BNS SWT with an AWJ9 I/O board. The DDS
attribute is for a BNS Trunk that uses DDS conventions (e.g. SAMML, SAMDL, SAMSL,
etc.). The HDLC attribute is for a generic device using SDLC or HDLC framing.
The phy attribute specifies the type of physical device interface to be used on the IP-DSU. Options are v35 (V.35) or 232 (RS232-C). The hardware is also capable of RS530.
Should that option be needed, please contact the author per the last page.
The speed attribute defaults to T1 rate for the Trunk-T1 and SWT Trunks. It may be
changed to another value. The allowed values are T1, 768K, 512K, 256K, 128K, 56K,
38400, 19200, and 9600.
The enc attribute specifies the physical line encoding parameter. It is available for the
generic HDLC interface type. It may take on the values of NRZ, INRZ, NRZI, and INRZI.
4.8 Remove
Syntax: remove
The remove(or rm) command takes the unit out of service. This command must be
performed before any configuration changes can occur. It is only visible when the unit is
logged in. The command has no arguments. However, the remove command requires
confirmation by password.
4.9 Restore
Syntax: restore
The restore(or rs) command returns the IP-DSU to service, and it has no arguments. It
will automatically restart the IP-DSU to make any changes effective. The restore
command requires confirmation by password.
4.10 Reboot
Syntax: reboot
02/02/0825
Page 26
IP-DSU User’s Manual
The reboot command restarts the unit. The command has no arguments, but is
confirmed by password. A reboot should be performed after a software upgrade, and
prior to software registration.
The snmp command is used to configure the IP address of the SNMP trap manager.
Since traps are unsolicited alarms, an agent can take the initiative to inform the manager
of the occurrence of a predefined condition. Typical conditions include the cold-start or
warm-start of equipment and a link-down or link-up condition.
A single or multiple SNMP managers can access the IP-DSU. However, only one SNMP
manager can be predefined as the trap manager. By administering this command, all
traps will be directed to the chosen trap manager. The port number should be configured
for 162 on new configurations, which is standard practice.
The tacplus command is only visible when the unit is logged in. The tac command
allows the configuration of up to two TACACS+ RADIUS servers for the device. the
servers are used as a primary server and a secondary server, although they may be
individually disabled.
The < PRI | SEC > syntax specifies which server is to be configured. A server may not
be configured while enabled
The [ ipaddr=<IP Address> ]specifies the IP address of the configured server.
The [ port=<TCP Port> ] specifies the TCP port to use when communicating with the
server. The TACACS+ service defaults to TCP port 49, but any port may be specified.
The [ key=”Encryption Key” | NONE ]specifies an encryption key to use. The
Encryption key must be enclosed in double quotes, and the double quotes are not part of
the key. If no encryption is desired, the value of NONE is used to designate unencrypted
service.
The ENABLE command allows this server to be used for service, and prevents further
configuration.
The DISABLE command prevents this server from being used for service, and
subsequently allows configuration.

PORT
Loopback
NET
Loopback
Intranet/
Internet
BNS-2000(2)IP-DSU(1)BNS-2000(1)IP-DSU(2)
The loopback command enables or disables loopbacks. The command has a single
argument indicating which type of loopback is requested: NET, PORT, BOTH, or OFF.
The command is only visible when the user is logged in.
The NET option enables a network loopback. It is the equivalent of a remote loopback
between two modems. Any data arriving from the peer IP-DSU will be sent back to the
originator until loopbacks are cancelled.
The PORT option enables a device loopback. It is the equivalent of a local loopback
between two modems. Any data arriving from the device is sent back to the device until
loopbacks are cancelled.
The BOTH option enables both network and device loopbacks. It is the aggregate of the
net and port loopback options.
The OFF option disables any loopback(s) in effect. Loopbacks are cumulative until OFF
is specified, e.g., if a network loopback was enabled, and a device loopback was
subsequently enabled, the net effect is the same as if they were simultaneously enabled
using the BOTH option.
Loopbacks are transient conditions. A loopback may only be specified while the unit is
in-service, and does not survive a reset. Should the unit be reset for any reason (power
outage, manual reset, etc.), the IP-DSU will revert to a normal non-loopback mode of
operation.
4.17 Data Encryption
Syntax: encrypt [ on | off ]
The encrypt(orenc) command indicates if data is to be encrypted between peer IPDSU units over the IP Intranet or Internet. It is only visible when the unit is logged in. The
command has a single argument. The on option enables data encryption between peerIP-DSU units. The off option disables data encryption. The IP-DSUs at both ends of a
connection must have the same encryption state (either on or off).

4.18 Help
Syntax: help
The help(or ?) command without arguments displays the entire IP-DSU command set
and command syntax for the mode (logged-out or logged-in) the unit is currently in.
Individual command syntax is available when the help command is followed by the
command name.
4.19 Version
Syntax: ver
The versionor ver command displays the current software and database revisions of
the unit, and is only visible when the user is logged in. The command has no arguments.
SAMPLE OUTPUT:
<IP-DSU> ver
M version

Software Version: 1.0.1
Hardware Version: V2
DB Version: V.1
4.20 Resetting the Password
Syntax: rstpass [ key=<Password Key> ]
The rstpass command is a command whose function is to reset the password(s) of the
device to factory default values. This function was formerly performed as part of the
software registration. Breaking it out into a separate command allows the software to be
registered without password updates to take place.
When invoked without arguments, the rstpass command will display the relevant
information needed to generate the <Password Key>. This information is relayed to the
technical support staff. The generated key is then used with the key=<Password Key>
argument. The rstpass command should not be run between the time the key data is
generated and the <Password Key> is utilized. Similarly, if the device is restarted, the
resultant <Password Key> will not perform its intended function.
The IP-DSU has a unique device software key, and multiple per port feature package
keys. This section is included in the user manual for completeness. Under normal
circumstances, only the mechanized utilities utilize this command. It may be executed
manually under an emergency situation. Depending on the device, the keys may or may
not be installed by the factory. The per port feature package keys may be added at any
time, and do not affect the operation of the unit. The registration procedure does not
require a restart to take effect on a device running the registered software.
When executed without arguments, the install command will display the significant
information needed to manufacture the device software key. The device IP address may
also be required. No additional information is needed to create the feature package
keys.
The key=<software key> argument allows the entry of an eight-character alphanumeric
software registration that is unique to this IP-DSU device. If an invalid key is entered, a
MINOR alarm is generated to that effect. The passwords are not altered. The rstpass
command has been created to reset the passwords should that become necessary.
The fpkey=<software key> argument allows the entry of an eight-character
alphanumeric software registration that is unique to a port, and software feature
package, on this IP-DSU device for the current software build. The specific feature
package referenced by the software key becomes immediately available on the port
without subsequent download. The <software key> has effect on only one port. Other
ports on the device are not affected. If the same software feature package is needed on
multiple ports, then multiple feature package keys are applied.
The install command is always available.

IP-DSU User’s Manual
4.22 Console Timeout
Syntax: timeout [OFF | <Number of Minutes>]
The IP-DSU console uses a three-wire interface (RD, TD, GND), and the lead state of
other signals is not relevant. This would imply that the only way to change the state of
the console is to explicitly log in or log out, or via a reboot or reset, which forces the
console to be logged out.
For those users that wish the console to automatically log off after a period of inactivity,
there is the console timer. The console timer defaults to the disabled condition and may
be activated by the timeout command.
The command is only visible when the console is logged in. The <Number of Minutes>
must be between 1 and 255 inclusive. When the module determines a period of inactivity
of the specified time, it shall automatically log off the console. An INFO level alarm is
issued at that time.
4.23 ADMINISTER SECURITY BANNER
Syntax: banner [clear] [L#=”Line # Message”]
The banner command is only visible when the unit is logged. It is used to administer the
security banner. The default is a NULL banner. If a security banner is configured, it is
displayed at each user login. The clear option is a shortcut to erase the entire message.

7 TROUBLESHOOTING
Troubleshooting an IP-DSU configuration is often a direct correlation of symptom and
cause. When armed with a few basic troubleshooting techniques, determining the source
of a problem should be easy.
It will be necessary to observe problem indicators and take appropriate actions to
localize the cause of problems. Problem indicators typically include non-zero error
counters displayed to the console, the inability to communicate between IP-DSU units,
and the inability to communicate between the IP-DSU and the BNS node. Problems may
require the gathering of measurements and/or running of diagnostic tests from the IP-DSU console.
Become familiar with the loopback command. It is essential to diagnose failed
communications between the IP-DSU and the BNS node.
The ping diagnostic is used in IP networks to test reachability of IP destinations by
sending them an ICMP echo request and waiting for a reply. It is essential in the case of
failed communications between peer IP-DSU units.
The StarKeeper® II NMS supports ping, and can be used to test IP-DSU 10BaseT
interface functionality. From the StarKeeper console, execute the following:
/etc/ping <ip address> [return]
where <ip address> is the address of the IP-DSU (entered using the local command).
Further information on command parameters can be obtained by running the Unix® man
command for ping.
e.g. man ping[return]
Faulty hardware is always a possible cause of problems. Having spare parts available,
including a spare cable and an additional IP-DSU, can significantly reduce start-up time
and communication outages.
7.1 Troubleshooting Strategies
A basic troubleshooting strategy can help pinpoint faults in an IP-DSU installation. The
installation may vary between sites. One case may involve substituting IP-DSU units into
a functioning DSU configuration. Another case may involve installing IP-DSU units in a
new network of BNS nodes and IP devices. In either case, installation errors may cause
an extended service outage.
Consider executing any or all of the following strategies to localize the point(s) of failure
in an IP-DSU installation.
7.1.1 Examine IP-DSU and BNS Node Console Output
Example: Observing non-zero IP-DSU error counters, such as Ethernet Tx, which
indicates carrier sense lost. This may be an integrity problem with a 10BaseT
connection, so the LAN cable and hub should be checked for proper operation.
Example: On the BNS node console, observing Loss of Frame alarms coming from the
BNS trunk module connected to the IP-DSU usually points to a clocking mismatch
02/02/0838
Page 39
IP-DSU User’s Manual
between the BNS trunk and the IP-DSU. Make sure the BNS trunk module and the
device port on the IP-DSU have the same timing configurations.
7.1.2 Circuit Tracing
With the IP-DSU loopback command and ping, trace the complete circuit between BNS
nodes. Start tracing from either end of the circuit, not the middle. A failed trace test
points to the set of interfaces, cables, and facilities that make up the failing circuit.
Most of the following diagnostic steps can be done from a central location, such as from
a StarKeeper® II NMS.
Intranet
/
Internet
BNS-2000(2)IP-DSU(1)BNS-2000(1)IP-DSU(2)
Step 1: Set IP-DSU (1) in port loopback mode. This instructs the IP-DSU to return any
data it receives at its device interface.
6
From BNS node (1) run a remote loopback test from the trunk module to IP-DSU (1).
If the test passes, move to step two.
If the test fails, check the facility between the two devices.
Step 2: Set IP-DSU (2) to net loopback mode. This instructs the far-end IP-DSU to
return any data it receives at its 10BaseT LAN interface.
From BNS node (1) run a remote loopback test from the trunk module to IP-DSU (2).
If the test passes, move to step seven.
If the test fails, move to step three.
Step 3: Ping IP-DSU (1) from a device (e.g. router) on the same LAN segment.
6
It is necessary to have first established peer-to-peer communication between the IP-DSUs if you are using
pre-build 17 software. Otherwise the BNS trunk diagnostic will fail due to EIA lead status on the device
interface. Build 17 includes a modification to eliminate this requirement.
02/02/0839
Page 40
IP-DSU User’s Manual
If the test passes, move to step four.
If the test fails, a problem exists on this LAN segment.
Step 4: Ping IP-DSU (1) from a device (e.g. router) on the same LAN segment as IP-
DSU (2).
If the test passes, move to step five.
If the test fails, a problem exists between the two LAN segments.
Step 5: Ping IP-DSU (2) from a device (e.g. router) on the same LAN segment.
If the test passes, move to step six.
If the test fails, a problem exists on this LAN segment.
Step 6: Ping IP-DSU (2) from a device (e.g. router) on the same LAN segment as IP-
DSU (1).
If the test passes, move to step seven.
If the test fails, a problem exists between the two LAN segments.
Step 7: Set IP-DSU (2) in port loopback mode.
From BNS node (2) run a remote loopback test from the trunk module to IP-DSU (2).
If the test passes, go back to step one and test the circuit again.
If the test fails, check the facility between the two devices.
The preceding troubleshooting strategy should help you localize and remedy most of
your network problems. However, if problems are still unresolved after these
recommended troubleshooting procedures, contact your customer support.

8 CONSOLE CABLING
8.1 The DB9 Console Adapter
Some Personal Computers use a 9 pin DB9 interface for serial communications. The
terminal emulation programs may require certain lead status. Since console connections
are generally implemented as three wire interfaces (i.e. RxD, TxD, and SG); this may
pose a problem for the terminal emulation programs.
Below is depicted the wiring of a DB9 adapter which eliminates the problems associated
with these terminal emulation programs. It is used with a standard straight category 5

Manufacturer's option, either (a) return of the price paid, or (b) repair or replacement of the
SOFTWARE that does not meet this Limited Warranty and which is returned to Manufacturer with
