Gateway 900 Installation Manual Page 1

Overview

JBM Electronics' Gateways are low-cost routers designed for users who need to interface Legacy protocol devices to a Frame Relay network. The Gateway 900 (G900) provides one serial port, a 10/100BaseT port and a WAN port with an integrated T1/E1 DSU

The Gateways convert Legacy protocols to TCP/IP or UDP for connection to a Frame Relay network. The Gateways can also interface IP-only devices to a Legacy protocol network. Terminal emulation for the IP device is available, providing a unique migration path for a network. This capability allows an IP device to coexist with an older protocol network.

Applications

The Gateways offer several advantages in customer networks, including:

Converts data from Legacy protocol

devices to TCP for connection to a WAN network, providing a migration path to an IP-based network.

Allows TCP/IP devices to access a

Legacy protocol network.

Provides host and terminal emulation

for all polled protocols, which allows up to 100 physical devices to be

Converts data from a TCP/IP device

to UDP for Ethernet networks.

Provide secure communications with

optional Firewall, SSL, IPSec encryption and VPN tunneling software.

Offers RIP, OSPF and BPG routing

for IP data.

Provides full Frame Relay support

and complete control over the frame network interface, including Priority and CIR allocation.

Provides special support software for

ATMs and POS devices to enhance error reporting and recovery.

Concentrates multiple Legacy

protocol applications from one location without replacing existing devices. Existing applications are supported with protocol conversion; data format manipulation, text manipulation, custom data translation, unique network addressing, or specialized host or terminal messaging.

Offers custom modifications to handle

unique user requirements, such as text or data manipulation, special login commands, host application messages, or data translations.

connected to one serial port.

Gateway 900 Installation Manual Page 2

Benefits

The Gateway simplifies network design by eliminating the need for network changes to handle Legacy protocols. The conversion eliminates the need for a separate network for the legacy protocol and protects the investment in Legacy devices when moving to an IP network. The Gateway can help protect the investment in Legacy devices when moving to a new network.

The Gateway’s security software can be used to protect attached devices from unauthorized access or establish a Virtual Private Network (VPN) to connect separate locations into a secure network using Internet connections.

Protocol Support

The Gateways support many standard LAN, WAN and serial protocols, including:

The Gateway’s protocol support includes local polling (spoofing) of attached devices and Client and Server support for the IP protocols.

Gateway 900 Installation Manual Page 3

Diagnostics

The Gateways can be configured through Application Commands entered via Telnet interface. The Telnet connection provides command and control of the Gateway. SNMP Traps provide notification of major events in the Gateway. All of the protocol-specific diagnostics, such as LUSTATS, Notify, and Status and Sense Bytes are supported. Extensions to the Telnet or SNMP commands are available as a special order.

Network Diagram

This drawing illustrates a configuration using a G900. All of the Gateways provide the same IP connectivity; the only difference is the number of serial and Ethernet devices that can be attached.

Gateway 900 Installation Manual Page 4

The Gateways can be ordered with Frame Relay connections using an internal or external DSU. The Gateway 700 provides the same port configuration as the G900 but uses an external DSU. The Gateway 800 provides an integrated 56/64/72 KB DSU. With the frame connection, the Gateways provide a complete router replacement with full protocol conversion.

Frame Relay Support

The Gateway provides full support for Frame Relay networks, including:

Supports up to 100 Logical Channels (DLCIs). Both CPE and Access Node configurations. ANSI T1.617 Annex D, Q.933 or LMI Local Signaling. Frame Size to 4096 Bytes. Flow control using individual Committed Information Rate (CIR) for each DLCI.

Our Frame Relay support is certified to ISO and ITU standards by major network laboratories. The X.25 support is certified to European NET2 standards by the ROLAND Laboratory.

Gateway 900 Installation Manual Page 9

Configure the WAN interface

Instructions for configuring the WAN interface are available through the console:

- Readme.config (configuring IP over frame)

- Wanpipe Configuration.pdf (general overview)

Wanpipe Configuration

Before starting WANPIPE, a configuration file (wanpipeN.conf, where N=1,2,3..etc.) must be created in /etc/wanpipe directory. This file contains the line, hardware and interface definitions for the WAN connection.

The program /usr/sbin/wancfg should be used to create the configuration file(s). It is a GUI, ncurses based, configurator that contains all wanpipe options as well as extended help information on each option.

Things you should know before starting /usr/sbin/wancfg:

Protocol IP Information

Frame Relay Type of Status Signaling (LMI, ANSI, or Q.933)

DLCI numbers

IP info for each DLCI CHDLC IP info PPP IP info X.5 Maximum packet size

Number of SVCs/PVCs

IP info T1/E1 CSU/DSU

Encoding

Framing

Active Channels/Baud Rate 56K CSU/DSU N/A

Gateway 900 Installation Manual Page 10

For the rest of this document, we will assume we are working with the following ISP/Telco supplied data:

Protocol: Frame Relay Prot Info: Num of DLCI's = 2

DLCI=16 and 17

IP Info: LCI 16

Local =201.1.1.1 PtoP =201.1.1.2 Netmask =255.255.255.0 Gateway =201.1.1.2 (i.e. this is the system default gateway) DLCI 17 Local =202.1.1.1 PtoP =202.1.1.2 Netmask =255.255.255.0 Gateway =N/A

WANCFG

1. Start /usr/sbin/wancfg

2. Select 'Create' option

3. Select a wanpipe device. If this is the first device select wanpipe1 and hit the SELECT button.

4. Choose WAN Protocol Definition and choose Frame Relay.

5. Select Hardware Setup Select Adapter Type. When selecting the Adapter Type, note the PORT option.

Usually PORT=PRI would be used. Define the I/O Port to 0x280 and the IRQ to 7. Exit Hardware Setup

6. Network Interface Setup The network interface set-up depends on the type of connection. For instance Frame

Relay supports many interfaces, each on its own DLCI, so there are questions related to the number of DLCIs and configuration information for each DLCI. In the case of Point-to-Point protocols like PPP and HDLC, there is only one interface per physical port.

Gateway 900 Installation Manual Page 11

This example is Frame Relay with two DLCIs. The first input is: "Please specify the number of DLCIs supported on this Frame Relay connection"

Enter in number 2 For each network interface do the following:

- DLCI Number: Enter in the DLCI number. Note the default number is always

16.

- Interface Name: The Interface name will also have default value. You can leave

it as is or change it. For instance, you could change it to ?chicago? or ?toronto?.

IMPORTANT: If you are using iptables you might want to change the default interface name to something like "wan0". Iptables and Ipchains don't like "_" in interface name.

e.g.: 'iptables -o wp1_fr16 ...' will give you an error

- Operation Mode: WANPIPE is for IP Routing API is used for custom API

applications.

- DLCI Protocol Setup: In this section leave everything as default. Unless the ISP has specified specific protocol options such as CIR.

- IP Setup: Put in your IP info as supplied by ISP Enable Default gateway for the

first interface.

7. Once all network interfaces are setup keep hitting the BACK button until Main Menu is reached.

Then select EXIT and save the config file. The new config file will be located in /etc/wanpipe directory.

8. Start the device: wanrouter start wanpipe1 Note: The card doesn't have to be connected to start the wanrouter.

9. Troubleshooting the driver load process All wanpipe driver events will be recorded in /var/log/messages.

Gateway 900 Installation Manual Page 12

Thus if errors occur, first check /var/log/messages to find out what exactly went wrong with the drivers startup.

Once the device is started you should see a "link connecting" message. This message indicates that the card was been configured successfully and that the link is trying to connect.

Reset Function

The Gateways have a Reset Button that can be used to perform the following function:
