Foundry AR-Series AR1202 and AR1204 Installation Guide
Ethernet Configuration Tip
To avoid Ethernet mismatch problems, the AR1202 and AR1204 router and the network device to which it is
attached should both be configured identically for speed and duplex. For example, if the router is configured for
auto-negotiation and the far end is configured manually, the router detects the speed, but defaults to half-duplex
mode. To ensure correct operation, either manually configure each device for speed and duplex settings, or
configure both devices to auto-negotiate.
Changing Login Parameters
The System Administrator login consists of two components: the user name and the password. The initial login
name is always foundry, but you can change this to suit your needs after logging in for the first time. The default
password for user Foundry, foundry, should be changed as soon as possib le to ensure only autho rized ac cess to
the router.
For more information about command usage for T1 products, refer to the Command Reference Guide: Domestic
Products. For information about command usage for E1 products, refer to the Command Reference Guide:
International Products. These guides are available on the Foundry website.

Configuring Drop and Insert Multiplexing
To use this feature, WAN ports 1 and 2 must be active and licensed for use. Drop and insert supports one-to-one
mapping of 1 to 24 voice-carrying DS0s on the PBX interface to the equivalent DS0s on the network port. The
PBX is connected to WAN port 1 and the DS0s are mapped to the carrier facility on WAN port 2.
In this example, DS0 channels 1-10 and 18-24 from WAN links 1 and 2 are configured for drop and insert traffic.
The remaining DS0 channels (11-17) are available for IP traffic.

Switching Routing/IPMUX Modes
To switch between IPMux and dynamic routing modes, a valid software license must be installed on the AR1202
and AR1204 router. Contact Foundry and provide the serial number for the router.
Switching to Routing Mode
To switch from IPMux to dynamic routing mode, issue the following command:
Foundry-AR1204/configure# system routing
A message is displayed warning you to issue the save local command before the router reboots and you must
confirm that you want to change to routing mode. Enter Y and press the Return key. The AR1202 and AR1204
reboots into dynamic routing mode.
Switching to IPMux Mode
To switch from dynamic routing to IPMux mode, issue the following command:
Foundry-AR1204/configure# no system routing
A message is displayed warning you to issue the save local command before the router reboots and you must
confirm that you want to change to IPMux mode. Enter Y and press the Ret urn key. The AR1202 and AR1204
reboots into IPMux mode.
Boot Process
When power is applied to the Foundry system, the Flash is checked for a downloadable boot image. If a boot
image file is found in the Flash, the fil e is execute d. Otherw ise, the boot image is ex ecuted from the facto ry image
stored in the boot ROM. Next, the Foundry operating system is loaded from the AR01_#### file residing in the
Flash. Power-up diagnostics such as flash test, memory test, etc. are run and then the Ethernet and WAN
interfaces are installed. The router is then configured using settings previously saved in the system.cfg file. Once
these settings are configured, the router is ready for operation and user login.
Upgrading System Software
The Foundry command line interface (CLI) provides commands that allow you to upgrade the AR1202 and
AR1204 router with new software. Every system is furnished with a software image file (AR01_####) and a boot
image file (T1000.bin). Using the TFTP protocol, the latest versions of these files can be loaded onto a Foundry
router from any accessible TFTP server.
4 - 8 © 2004 Foundry Networks, Inc. June 2004
Configuration
A software upgrade consists of two files: AR01_#### and T1000.bin. The .Z file is the operating system for the
Foundry system; the .bin file contains the downloadable boot images.
NOTE: Foundry systems do not support two simultaneous downloads.
NOTE: Refer to the appropriate Command Reference Guide (domestic or international products) for specific
command parameters, options, and context.
Before Downloading the AR01_#### File
If you must issue the file download command, do so only when the source of the download file is currently
answering a ping command and there is no immediate concern about unscheduled power outages. This situation
is a cause for concern because a problem can arise when there is insufficient Flash space to hold a backup copy
of the downloaded AR01_#### file. When this occurs, the system prompts for approval to continue. However, if
power fails or there are netw o rk p rob lem s d uri ng th e fi le d ow nl oad , th e sy s tem ma y n ot be ab le to boot from flash
because the file may be incomplete or corrupt. If this occurs, you can boot using FTP. Refer to “Booting From a
Network TFTP Server” on page 4-10 for this procedure.
Upgrading Software
To upgrade the AR01_#### and T1000.bin files:
1. Download AR01_#### and T1000. bin from the Fo undry Su pport p age o n the web site a nd plac e it on a serv er
that is running a TFTP daemon.
2. Ensure that network connectivity exists between the Found ry sy ste m bei ng upg rade d and the TFTP server
holding the new file. Pinging the server from the Foundry system is a good method to use to prove
connectivity.
3. Download files to the Flash. The general format for the download commands is:
file download server_ip source_file local_file
server_ipThe IP address of the server holding the upgrade files.
source_filePath and file name of the file to be downloaded.
local_fileFile name to be used in local flash memory.
For example, a typical sequence might consist of:
• downloading all files to the main board:
file/download 10.10.1.1 r7/AR01_#### AR01_####
file/download 10.10.1.1 r7/T1000.bin T1000.bin
4. Move the .bin images to the downloadable boot area:
file/copy_boot T1000.bin
file/validate_boot T1000.bin (This should validate the copy_boot procedure.)
5. Make sure you are booting the images from the Flash and then reboot the system:
configure# boot AR01_####
Then type “Y” to reboot the router.
6. After reboot, log in and verify the proper software version with the following command:

Appendix B
Troubleshooting
This chapter provides general troubleshooting tips in addition to network tests and diagnostics information for the
Foundry AR1202 and AR1204 router.
Alarms and System Status
The AR1202 and AR1204 rou ter reports various ala rms upon de tecting cer tain irreg ular condi tions in the in coming
WAN signals. For more information about the command line interface and system commands, refer to the
appropriate Foundry Command Reference Guide (either the domestic or international version).
NOTE: The slot and/or interface numb er is requi red fo r com ma nds displa ying information on specific interf ace s.
If this information is not included when the command is issued, the system prompts for it. For more information
about a command, access command help by typing help <command name> and pressing Return.
To view alarms, use the appropriate derivative (T1/E1) of the following command:
• display module alarms t1
Use this command to view the current alarms for any T1 WAN link of the system.
You can display the current configuration and operating status of each WAN link using use the appropriate
derivative (T1/E1)of the following command:
• display module configuration t1
Use this command to view the current configuration of the selected WAN link, along with its line status.
WAN Statistics
In addition to WAN status and alarms, the router collects and stores various types of performance statistics. This
data helps you analyze the quality of a WAN link between the AR1202 and AR1204 router and the far-end WAN
equipment.
To display WAN statistics, use a derivative of the following command:
• display module userstats t1
Use this command to view user statistics gathered for the WAN interface.

Network Tests
If the system is not workin g co rrec tly af te r veri fy ing that th e ca bl ing is corre ct between the Foundry router and the
external network equipment, run these basic tests to isolate the problem to the LAN port, WAN link, or serial
interface ports.
Ping Test
The Ping test checks connectivity between the Foundry system and another host system on the LAN. If an
“unknown host” error occurs after initiating this test, the destination host is either unreachable or unstable, or it
does not exist. If a 100 percent packet loss error occurs, the LAN is either down or unstable.
•ping
Use this command to check connectivity with another system.
Other Tests
To isolate problems with a fau lty WAN link, pe rform l ine or payload loop backs at either end of the l ink a nd perf orm
a BERT test. These functions isolate a problem to either the AR1202 and AR1204, far-end equipment,
interconnect cabling at either end, or the link between the two systems.
Loopback Test
To perform line and payload loopbacks at either end, use the appropriate derivative (T1/E1) of the following
commands.
The following loopback command is available.
• test t1 loopback
BERT Test
This command is used to ini tiate a bit error rat e test. The foll owing BER T test comma nd is availabl e to test spec ific
links.
• test t1 bert
The pattern parameter may have any of the following values:
Ta ble B.1: BERT Test Patterns
Pattern Description
2^11 Pseudorandom pattern with no more than 10 consecutive zeros and no
more than 11 consecutive ones.
2^15 Pseudorandom pattern with no more than 14 consecutive zeros and no
more than 15 consecutive ones. Use this pattern for testing at data rates
above 19.2 kbps (G.703-standard test).
2^23 Pseudorandom signal with no more than 22 consecutive zeros and no
more than 23 consecutive one s. This p attern provides the highes t stress of
all BERT patterns.
QRW Quasi-random waveform pattern (default). This pattern simulates live data.
