1ABOUT THE ETHERNET AND SERIAL CABLES
ABOUT THE ETHERNET AND SERIAL CABLES
The two Ethernet cables that come in your package are 4-wire Ethernet-type
cables. Please note that universal-type 8-wire cables may in some cases (par-
ticularly with 10/100 Mbits/s interfaces) not work properly.
The two Ethernet cables have the following uses:
• Blue or grey with a blue marking, crossed: acts as a special Ethernet cable
between your Pocket MultiCom and a single computer. As such, it is not a
standard 10-Base-T Ethernet cable: it is wired as a crossover allowing you to
connect your Pocket MultiCom directly to a computer without a hub. This
cable can also be used to connect to the “uplink” (X) port of a hub.
• Grey cable: acts as a standard Ethernet cable between your Pocket Multi-
Com and a normal port of a hub, to build an Ethernet network with multiple
computers.
The Serial cable has the following uses:
1.5
• Act as a cable for connecting the Console Port (embedded in the Ethernet
port) of your Pocket MultiCom to a serial port of either a terminal or a
computer (with a terminal-emulation software or EasyConfig™ wizard), for
management purposes. This is useful for configuring or modifying the configuration of your Pocket MultiCom. This type of connection is described in
chapter § 2.9, "Connecting to the Command Interface" on page 19.
ABOUT THE DOCKING STATION
If your Pocket MultiCom comes with its optional desktop support, as shown
below, please refer first to instructions in § 5, "Docking Station" on page 31.

CHAPTER 2GETTING STARTED DO NOT CONNECT TO A NETWORK BEFORE…
DO NOT CONNECT TO A NETWORK BEFORE…
Your Pocket MultiCom must be configured before being connected to an
existing Ethernet network. You may do it yourself or ask your dealer or network
specialist to configure it for you.
There are two possibilities to configure your Pocket MultiCom: the simplest
one is to do it using Ethernet to connect it to your PC and a Web-Browser, like
Netscape™ or Explorer™, already installed on your computer, and also available
on the CD-ROM. You can also use the serial cable and a terminal emulator or the
Windows™ wizard EasyConfig, also on the CD-ROM (see § 2.9.2 on page 20).
PREPARING A SETUP WITH ETHERNET
The simplest installation procedure requires that you first connect the Ethernet
port to a single computer:
2.1
2.2
Ethernet
PowerISDN
To connect your Pocket MultiCom to a single computer:
1. Plug the crossed Ethernet cable (blue or grey with blue mark) to the “Ethernet”
port of the Pocket MultiCom and to the Ethernet port of your computer1.
1. This connection applies to most laptops as well as to desktop computers. Installing the
Pocket MultiCom with a NoteBook computer without a female Ethernet plug may
require an Ethernet gender-changer: please refer to § 2.8, "Installing for a NoteBook
Computer" on page 19.
6 Pocket MultiCom — User’s Manual
Crossed Ethernet cable (blue or grey with a blue marking)
Page 15
PREPARING A SETUP WITH ETHERNET
2. Turn the computer on (if it is not already on).
3. Plug one end of the ISDN cable into the “ISDN” port of your Pocket Multi-
Com and the other end into a terminated ISDN BRI So wall socket.
4. Check that the power supply has the correct voltage rating for your
country. Then connect the power supply cable into the “Power” port on your
Pocket MultiCom and plug the power supply into an AC wall socket.
The Pocket MultiCom then automatically launches the start-up operation. The
following series of signals provide information on the status of operations:
Signals
• The Ethernet, ISDN (D, B1, B2), and Power signals turn orange.
This indicates that your Pocket MultiCom is carrying out the initial tests:
memory, and peripherals, as described in the Reference Manual.
• The Power signal remains orange slightly longer than the others
This indicates that your Pocket MultiCom is starting-up.
• The Power signal turns green
1
This indicates that start-up is successful. Your Pocket MultiCom is now
ready for use.
• The ISDN D signal turns green
This indicates that the ISDN connection is connected and properly wired2.
• The ISDN B1 and B2 signals remain off
This indicates that no data channel is in use. When a channel is connected, the
corresponding signal will turn green, or blink orange when there is traffic on it.
• The Ethernet signal turns green
This indicates that the Ethernet connection is working.
1. On models with the encryption option, the Power signal may stay orange at this stage.
Please refer to “Visual Display”, “Security” chapter of the Reference Manual on CD.
2. On some ISDN network, this ISDN D signal may go off or turn red after a while after
the start-up. This is normal.
Pocket MultiCom — User’s Manual 7
Page 16
CHAPTER 2GETTING STARTED PREPARING A SETUP WITH ETHERNET
If one of the Ethernet or ISDN D signals stays red, the corresponding interface is
not connected or wired properly, or the wrong cable has been used. Correct the
problem and restart the Pocket MultiCom by disconnecting and reconnecting
its power supply cable, to test the connections again.
When those Ethernet and ISDN signals are green, the Pocket MultiCom is now
ready to provide all configuration services to your computer.
If your router is bundled with an Internet Access and you want to use it,
please follow the specific installation instructions for this access, instead of
the ones below, unless these instructions refer to the instructions below.
CONFIGURING THE COMPUTER INTO DHCP MODE
The next step is now to configure the computer to get its TCP/IP configuration
automatically from the Pocket MultiCom, using the “Dynamic Host Configura-
tion Protocol” (DHCP).
NOTE - By default, the DHCP server on the Pocket MultiCom is enabled.
FOR WINDOWS 9X / NT USERS
1. If your computer is configured with an IP address,
change the configuration to
automatically get an IP
address from a DHCP
server (in Windows 95/98
this is in “Start” menu in:
• “Parameters”
• “Configuration pannel”
Select “IP
Address”
Select “Obtain
an IP address
automatically”
2.2.1
2.2.1.1
• “Network”
• “TCP/IP” )
Click "OK"
2. Restart the PC, even if not requested to.

Provider (ISP). This auto-configures the TCP/IP parameters of your computers
using the built-in DHCP server. Please check your ISP connection first with this
setup. A short introduction for modifying this configuration for static IP
addresses is given in § 2.5, "Configuring for Static IP Addresses" on page 14.
1. Start a Web navigator, for instance Netscape Navigator or Internet Explorer. If you don't already own any navigator, you
can install one from the CD-ROM. In the
“Netscape” folder of the CD you will find
Netscape Navigator for:
• Windows 95/NT (cc32e404.exe)
• Windows 3.11 (cc16e404.exe)

You will then benefit from a free firmware update and will be able to request status updates of Lightning products. You may also use fax or mail with the Registration Card found in § 6.4 on page 39.
Congratulations, you are all done if you have a single computer. To configure further computers using the built-in DHCP server, please refer to § 2.7, "Installation
for a Network" on page 17. If you already have fixed, static, IP addresses or need
other special configurations, please refer to § 2.5, "Configuring for Static IP
Addresses" on page 14 and to the Reference Manual on CD-ROM. To fine-tune
the configuration to use a second B-channel with MPP, read the next section.
FINE-TUNING THE CONFIGURATION
For further configuration you can use the router's built-in Web server at the
router's IP address (by default http://10.0.0.1/), and start from examples in the
Reference Manual on CD-ROM, or use the Windows™ EasyConfig™ wizard and
its manual setup option, as explained in § 2.5.1, "Installing EasyConfig on Windows 95/98/NT" on page 14.
2.4
12 Pocket MultiCom — User’s Manual
Page 21
FINE-TUNING THE CONFIGURATION CONFIGURATION OF THE CHANNEL AGGREGATION (MPP)
CONFIGURATION OF THE CHANNEL AGGREGATION (MPP)
The channel aggregation isn't supported by all Internet Service Providers. In certain cases the use of the channels' aggregation can generate local problems.
The channel aggregation allows to double the ISDN bandwidth by using both
64 kbits/s B-channels of the ISDN link, if needed. The flow passes then from
64 kbits/s to 128 kbits/s (the data compression multiplies this flow some more).
The second B-channel is automatically opened only if the first one is full.
WARNING: The channels aggregation can double the phone-costs since, if an
important traffic occurs, two connections are established. Ev en if the data transfer
duration is thus reduced, the additional costs may not be fully compensated.
Notice also that it wont' be possible to make or receive a telephone call on an
ISDN connection when both two B-channels are used by the router. In order to
allow the channels aggregation, execute the following operations:
1. In the Web navigator choose
your Pocket MultiCom
address, by default
10.0.0.1/ and press Enter. The
MultiCom home-page appears.
http://
2.4.1
2. Click on the link entitled… “Edit the configuration file”
A full-screen text editor appears.
3. Look for the line displaying:
ISDN BChannel 1
4. Carefully replace it by:
ISDN BChannel 2
5. Click on “submit”. The new configuration is recorded.
Pocket MultiCom — User’s Manual 13
Page 22
CHAPTER 2GETTING STARTED CONFIGURING FOR STATIC IP ADDRESSES
6. Click on “reboot” to restart the
Pocket MultiCom with the new
configuration.
7. The Pocket MultiCom restarts.
Ethernet, D-Channel and Power
leds light green again after a
while. In case of very important
traffic the router can, from now
on, open a second B-channel in
order to increase the capacity. In
this case both two leds B1 and
B2 will light green.
In order to disable the channels aggregation and use only one ISDN B-channel,
execute the same operations and reset ISDN BChannel to 1 instead of 2.
CONFIGURING FOR STATIC IP ADDRESSES
The instructions from the previous sections allow to establish a standard DHCP
configuration for the connection of a local network to the Internet. You might
need a non-standard configuration, for instance if you want to use your own static
IP addresses or if you already have a DHCP server on your network. In this case,
you can use the EasyConfig wizard to establish the configuration corresponding
to your needs. This installation needs some networking expertise.
The EasyConfig wizard takes your router's actual configuration, allows you to
modify it through some simple dialog boxes and saves the modified configuration
back into the router.

Proceed as follows:
1. Make sure that your hub or switch is working correctly.
2. Plug the straight 4-wire grey Ethernet cable into one of its Ethernet port.
Pocket MultiCom — User’s Manual 17
Page 26
CHAPTER 2GETTING STARTED INSTALLATION FOR A NETWORK
3. Plug the other end into the "Ethernet" port on your Pocket MultiCom as shown below.
4. Plug one end of the ISDN cable into the “ISDN” port on the back of your
Pocket MultiCom as shown below.
5. Plug the other end of the ISDN cable into an ISDN BRI So wall socket (terminated, if more than 6 meters away from the ISDN Network Terminator).
6. Connect the end of the AC cable into the “Power” port on your Pocket Mul-
tiCom as shown below, and the power supply into an AC wall outlet.
Straight 10-Base-T Ethernet Cable
(short grey cable with 4 wires)
(without internal cross over)
ISDN Power Ethernet
The start-up operation now begins automatically, as described in § 2.2, "Preparing
a Setup with Ethernet" on page 6.
NOTE - Some hubs, especially 10/100 Mbits/s hubs, do connect unused pairs of
the Ethernet cable, leading to a start-up with default configuration, when used
with universal 8-wires cables. In this case, please use the provided standard 4wires grey Ethernet cable.
CONFIGURING OTHER COMPUTERS ON THE NETWORK
• Configure all computers to obtain IP addresses automatically from a DHCP
server (see § 2.2.1, "Configuring the Computer into DHCP mode" on page 8).
• Connect all computers to the hub or switch, using standard Ethernet cables.
2.7.1
NOTE - By def ault, your Pocket MultiCom runs a DHCP server. If you already
have one in your network or are using static IP addresses, you should first disable
the DHCP function of your Pocket MultiCom and configure IP addresses
accordingly using EasyConfig or consult the Reference Manual for static routing.

INSTALLING FOR A NOTEBOOK COMPUTER USING TELNET TO ACCESS THE COMMAND INTER-
INSTALLING FOR A NOTEBOOK COMPUTER
Connecting your Pocket MultiCom directly to a NoteBook with a PCMCIA
Ethernet card may require an adaptor for connecting the crossed Ethernet cable to
the card. Otherwise the procedure is the same as for a single computer.
RJ-45 female
RJ-45 female
NOTE - The adaptor — with two female RJ-45 on each side, without cross-over
— is supplied with the PCMCIA card, generally upon demand.
To connect your Pocket MultiCom to a NoteBook:
1. Insert the PCMCIA card into the appropriate slot in your NoteBook computer.
2.8
2. Connect the PCMCIA card’s cable to the adaptor. Do not connect the PCM-
CIA cable directly to the Pocket MultiCom, since it is not a crossed one.
3. Now you can proceed according to the instructions for a single computer
except for the following change: plug the crossed Ethernet cable into the
adaptor instead of directly to your computer.
CONNECTING TO THE COMMAND INTERFACE
To access to the command-line interface, you can use telnet or the serial interface.
USING TELNET TO ACCESS THE COMMAND INTERFACE
Run a Telnet program (like “C:\\WINDOWS\telnet” with Windows™ 95/98) to
connect to your router using Ethernet, and open a Telnet-session.
2.9
2.9.1
NOTE - By default your router has IP address 10.0.0.1
Pocket MultiCom — User’s Manual 19
Page 28
CHAPTER 2GETTING STARTED CONNECTING TO THE COMMAND INTERFACE
USING THE SERIAL INTERFACE
To connect to the serial interface, you need either a terminal or a computer with a
terminal emulation software (this is included with most computers, like “Programs”/“Accessories”/“Hyper Terminal”™ with Windows™).
NOTE - For a direct connection, the serial port of your computer must have a
specific configuration, see § 6.1.2, "Serial Configuration" on page 36 for details.
First, look for the special console cable, with a RJ-45 plug and a DB-9 plug:
RJ-45 male
To set up your Pocket MultiCom for configuration purposes:
1. Disconnect the power cable from your Pocket MultiCom, if necessary.
DB-9
2.9.2
2. Connect the RJ-45 end of the console cable to the “Ethernet” port on your Pocket MultiCom.
3. Connect the DB-9 end of the console cable to a serial port (RS-232) of your computer.
4. Start the terminal emulation software, configure the serial port according to
§ 6.1.2, "Serial Configuration" on page 36, and then open a connection.
5. Re-connect the po wer cable to the "Po wer" port on your Pocket MultiCom.
The five signals on front turn orange, indicating that your Pocket MultiCom is
carrying out the start-up operation, as described in page 7.
Once the initialization process is finished, your Pocket MultiCom displays its
user interface on your terminal screen. You can now auto-configure your Pocket
MultiCom the commands “Upgrade Key” (if needed) and “Setup”, or use Easy-
Config with the “COM” port. You can also reset the default configuration, as
described in § 4.1.2, "Setting the Configuration With a Terminal" on page 30.
NOTE - If you see messages from the MultiCom in your terminal emulator window, but cannot type-in commands, check that the terminal handshake is set to
“XON/XOFF”, instead of “RTS/CTS” or “Hardware”.

Troubleshooting &
Chapter 3
FAQ
This chapter gives answers to Frequently Asked
Questions (FAQ) and provides instructions for
checking whether your Pocket MultiCom is
correctly configured and that the Ethernet and
ISDN connections are working correctly.
It includes a general trouble-shooting scheme for AutoConfiguration and the following three tests:
3
• Connecting to a Distant Site
This test is the easiest way to confirm that your Pocket MultiCom is in working
order .
• Checking the Ethernet Connection
Carry out this test if you encountered a problem with the first test.
• Checking the ISDN Connection
Carry out this test if you could not connect to a distant site but the Ethernet
connection is working.
Further trouble-shooting hints are found in the FAQ and in the last section of this
chapter, describing the “diagnose” command and other “info” commands.

CHAPTER 3TROUBLE-SHOOTING & FAQ FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (FAQ)
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (FAQ)
Please also consult the Technical Support area of the Lightning web site at:
http://www.lightning.ch/support/ for an up-to-date version of the FAQ.
1. The IP address of the MultiCom is 10.0.0.1 by default.
2. Can I connect my MultiCom router to a Fast Ethernet network? Your MultiCom router is built for 10 Mbps Ethernet, thus it will not work if
connected to a 100 Mbps-only Ethernet port. Most Ethernet ports can do both
10 and 100 Mbps Ethernet. Your router will work if connected to such a port,
but only when using a 4-wires cable like the grey Ethernet cable delivered
with your router.
3. Which Stac compression do you support?
We support the standard Stac LZS® compression (RFC1974). We do not support the obsolete draft-09 version of Stac (sometimes called Stac-9) neither
Microsoft PPC (also know as MPPC or MS-Stac).
4. The ISDN line keeps up or opens periodically even if I don't access the Internet
3.1
There can be multiple causes for such a behaviour. First of all, make sure that
you have chosen a small timeout value for closing the line. The default value
is 90 seconds. If the line stays open longer than that, you may have an internal
problem (e.g. a misconfigured machine on your local network) or an external
problem (a misconfigured router talking to your MultiCom). To find out where
the problem comes from, disconnect the Ethernet cable from the router and
check if the line still keeps up. If the line goes down after a few minutes, then
the problem is internal, if not then it is external. Use the command:
Info Site
line, and Info Site
Internet
Frames to check which IP packets are opening the
Internet
Frame
n
to display the most frequent one.
Common internal problems are:
• A mail program (e.g. Netscape, Eudora, MS Exchange) that is configured to
check mail every few minutes.
• A Web browser that has a starting page with an address that is outside your
network. Use a blank page or a local file as start page instead, e.g. file:/
mystartpage.html. Do not use an URL like http://localhost/mystartpage.html, as your computer will have to contact an external DNS server to
resolve the name “localhost”!
22 Pocket MultiCom — User’s Manual
Page 31
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (FAQ)
• A Web page that updates automatically. Some Web pages, e.g. home pages,
live images, update themselves automatically and can keep the line open.
Don't keep a window with such a page open while you are not using it.
External problems may be:
• You are talking to a MaxPro RWS-NT V1.0.0.4 router. That router recognises "Echo Requests" as traffic and incorrectly keeps the line up. If you can
make sure that the router on the other end of the line is a MaxPro RWS-NT
V1.0.0.4, put the command "PPP EchoRequest Off" into the part of the configuration file relating to that site.
• If it is another external problem, try contacting the owner of the router at the
other end of the line and make sure that the router does not send unsolicited
traffic. Try setting the timeout to a small value e.g. by adding the following
command to your configuration file: "ISDN IdleCloseTime 10".
5. I cannot connect to Telia with AutoConfiguration, why?
Telia is using the private A-class IP range 10.0.0.0, which is a non-routable
subnet that is also used locally by the AutoConfiguration setup! To connect
anyway, you can manually change the generated configuration to use the private B-class 192.168.0.0 subnet with SubnetMask 255.255.0.0. Such a
configuration is given in the e xamples section of the Reference Manual on the
CD-ROM.
6. When I use the SecureWall function, sending mail is very slow, why?
Some external mailers check the source port #113 to verify the identity of the
sender. Since the SecureWall drops unsolicited incoming packets, the mailer
will experience a timeout before giving up and accepting the mail anyway. If
you are in that case, you can simply map this port to the MultiCom, which will
signal that the port is not reachable and cause the mailer not to wait. To do so
add the following line to your configuration or chose the equivalent option in
the EasyConfig wizard:
IP Translation Map 113/tcp To
<IP address of your MultiCom>
7. The SecureWall prevents some types of FTP connections.
As with most firewalls, FTP transfers can only succeed if the FTP program is
set to passive mode for gets and active mode for puts (these are standard in
Internet Explorer, Netscape, pftp, CuteFTP and Fetch in firewall mode).
8. Is the Pocket MultiCom Year 2000 compliant? Yes. A declaration of conformity is available on our web-site.

CONNECTING TO A DISTANT SITE
CONNECTING TO A DISTANT SITE
Connecting to a distant site using a Web browser, Telnet, or your particular software is the easiest ways to ensure that your Ethernet and ISDN connections are
both functioning correctly. If you could not connect, try connecting to another
site, or to an IP address, to make sure that the problem does not reside on the other
side of the line. If you still cannot connect, carry out the following tests.
CHECKING THE ETHERNET CONNECTION
You can use either a Web-browser, Telnet, FTP or ping, specifying the IP address
of your Pocket MultiCom, to connect to it directly. If you can reach the Pocket Mul-
tiCom, this confirms that your Ethernet software is working correctly.
If you cannot reach your Pocket MultiCom, make sure that you typed in the correct
IP address. If you did, there is probably a problem with either the configuration of
your Pocket MultiCom or your computer. Refer to section 3.2 for details.

If you still can’t access your Pocket MultiCom, you can reset it to factory default
address 10.0.0.1 and DHCP mode by following section 4 on page 27.

CHAPTER 3TROUBLE-SHOOTING & FAQ CHECKING THE ISDN CONNECTION
CHECKING THE ISDN CONNECTION
Carry out the following test if your Ethernet connection is functioning correctly
but you cannot connect to a distant site:
1. Run Telnet or a console connection, specifying the IP address of your Pocket
MultiCom, following instructions in section 2.9 on page 19.
2. The connection opens and asks for the user name and password, if set.
3. At the next prompt, type in the following command: ISDN Conn
A B-channel signal should turn green, indicating a successful connection.
If the ISDN connection is not OK, check the configuration of your MultiCom for
problems. Check also to see if there is a problem with your telephone wires.
If the ISDN connection is OK, but you still cannot connect to a distant site, it is
probably because there is either a problem with your computer’s configuration, or
with the configuration of the other site’s router or computer.
3.6
FURTHER TROUBLE-SHOOTING
Please refer to the Reference Manual for further trouble-shooting.
Especially, you may need to run Telnet (section 2.9.1 on page 19), specifying the
IP address of your
mands, like:
¥ isdn info ¥ isdn info history ¥ site stats Internet
¥ ppp info ¥ ppp info all ¥ site info internet frames
¥ dhcp info ¥ info ip ¥ site info internet frame
