xvi INA Module Installation and Configuration Gu ide

This chapter introduces the MERLIN Integrated Network Access (INA) module and provides an overview of its installation and conf iguration. The following topics are discussed:

• “INA Module Description” on pag e 1-1

• “INA Administration” on page 1-1

• “INA Front Panel” on page 1-2

• “Installation and Configuration Steps” on page 1-4

INA Module Description

The MERLIN Inte gr at ed Ne t work Access (INA) module (b oa rd cod e 100R ) comb in es th e voice functions of the ME RLIN 100D module with data routing and a channel s ervice unit (CSU)/data service unit (DSU ). Using a T1 interfac e or an ISDN Primar y Rate Interface (PRI), the INA module gives the MERLIN MAGIX™ Integrated System fast access to the Internet or a remote network without having to use an external CSU.

INA Module 1

Data to and from the Internet or remote network is carried over a T1/PRI that is shared for both voice and data serv ices. The DSU function ality of the INA module su pports static allocation of the T1/PRI bandwidth to either voice channels or data channels:

• Voice. Channel s allocated by the switch for voice service s are available to the MERLIN MAGIX and can be used on a channel-by-channel basis to support incoming or outgoing calls.

• Data. Channels allocat e d by th e s w itch to t h e rou ter pr ov ide a hi gh -s pee d d ata pipe for dedicated In ternet or rem ote network ac cess.

Routing functions are handled by an additi onal CPU that provid es 32MB of dedicate d RAM and special nonvolatile (Flash) RAM. The nonvolatile RAM contains router configuration data and opera ting firmware called Com OS. The module includes a 10BaseT Ethernet port to connect to the customer’s network.

INA Adminis tration

To manage the INA module, you perform administrative tasks using both MERLIN MAGIX administ ration and rout er administra tion. Several too ls for router administration are explained later in this guide. WinSPM can be used for both MERLIN MAGIX administration and router administration through the ComOS command line interface.

On the MERLIN MAGIX

For a typical application, you do the following:

INA Front Panel

On the INA Module

1. Arrange with your telecommun ications service provider (telco) for a T1/PRI line .

2. Hav e the telco prov ision the li ne so that some channels are assigned to switched voice calls and the rest are assigned to one or more point-to-point data connectio ns.

3. Use th e system administrati on console to assign th e voice channels to th e MERLIN MAGIX swi tch and the data channels to th e INA module rout er.

Use any of the following to ols to access ComOS an d set up and administer t he INA module’s routing and data functions:

• INAWizard. The INAWizard performs the initial configuration of the module. The program provide s a step-by-ste p series of simp le forms that a llow easy entry of the basic configuration settings. The INAWizard operates on most platforms running Microsoft Windows 95/98, or Windows NT 4.0 and later. The wizard accesses the INA module through a network connection to the module’s Ethernet interface. See Chapter 4, "Using the INAWizard,” for more information.

• Command Line Interface. The command line interface provides full access and control of all ComOS functions through a direct connection to the C0 port on the front of the INA module, from a terminal or a PC or workstation used as a terminal. Once an IP address has been assigned to the module’s Ethernet port, you can access the command line interface via Telnet through a network connection to the port. See Chapter 5, "Using the C ommand Line Interface,” for more info rmation.

• PMVision™. This GUI based program can be u sed instead of the CLI to control a nd configure the INA module. It can also be used to backup and restore the entire INA configuration. PMVision operates on the same platforms as the INAWizard from any workstation on the network. See Chapt er 6, "Using PM Vision,” for more information.

1-4 INA Module Installation and Configuration Guide

Getting Ready for Configuration 2

To properly configure your INA module, you must gather all the technical information needed. You must also assign T1 /PRI channels using the MERLIN MAGIX administration console before using the INA module.

Before starting the installation of your module, be sure that you have all needed information from the following categories:

• “T1/PRI Provisioning” on p age 2-1

• “Network Settings” on page 2-2

T1/PRI Provi sioning

Table 2-1 illustrates the T1/PRI information needed to set up the data networking capabilities of the INA module. Make sure t hat you have obtaine d this i nforma tion fr om your telco provider before beginning the configuration process. See Appendix C, “MERLIN MAGIX Administration” for more information.

Tab l e 2 - 1 Basic T1/PRI Provis ioning Informa tion.

Setting Notes Example

DSU channel selection DSU Channel Selection is

used to assign data channels to the INA module. The number of channels can range from 1 to 24.

Network Settings

Assign T1/PRI Channels

for PRI configurations and channel signaling types for T1 configurations. You plan for and implement these additional setti ngs as you do for a 100D m odule. See the System Programming manual (555-710-1 11).

The INA module can accommod ate up t o 23 PRI chan nels or 24 T1 chan nels. W hen th e module is first installed, no cha nnels are a ssigned t o the router.

For PRI configurations, you can assign a channel to the router only if the channel is not used in a B channel group or a line pool on the switch. For T1 configurations, you can assign a channel to the router only if the channel is set to Unequipped from a switch perspective. You determine these chan nel se tting s a s you do f or a 10 0D module. See the System Programming manu al (555-710-111) for m ore information.

To assign the desi red data chan nels to the ro uter:

1. Use th e following sequence on yo ur MERLIN MAGI X system programm ing console:

Menu: SysProg→Start→LinesTrunks→More→More→CSU/DSU→Slot#→Enter→ChannelSel→ Channel#→Enter

2. Repe at the sequence un til all your T1/ PRI data channels a re assigned.

3. Reboot the router so that it recognizes the change in channel assignments.

You can enter the reboot command at the command line interface, or press the reboot button on the IN A module.

Network Settings

Table 2-2 lists the basic network settings needed to configure the INA module. These are listed in the order r equested by the INAWizard. See the following for more information :

• For INAWizard configuration, see the INAWizard online help.

• For command line interface configuration, see Chapter 5, “Using the Command Line Interface,” and the PortMaster Command Line Reference.

• For PMVision configuration, see Chapter 6, “Using PMVision.”

WA N Port. After the T1/PRI data channels are assigned to the router, all data channels are config ured as one wide area network (WAN) port by ComOS. If your data channels are used to form multiple WAN ports, you must set up additional WAN ports.

Additional WAN Ports. You can set up these ports after completing the initial configuration. Use the command line interface or PMVision to set them up. The INA Wizard cannot be used to set up these additiona l ports. See one of th e following sections for additional configuration instructions:

• See “Set Up Additional WAN Ports” on page 5-6.

2-4 INA Module Installation and Configuration Guide

Installing the INA Module 3

This chapter descri bes the steps nee ded to physically in stall and power up the INA MERLIN MAGIX syst em. The followin g topics are disc ussed.

• “Install the INA Module in a Carrier” on page 3-1

• “Connect Cabl es” on p age 3-1

• “Observe LED Behavior ” on page 3-4

Install the INA Module in a Carrier

Install the module in the MERLIN MAGIX carrier according to the directions found in Chapter 2 of the MERL IN MAGIX Integrated System, Installation, S PM, and Maintenance and Troubleshooting Supplement (555-661-140).

Turn on the MERL IN MAGIX system. Ens u re tha t th e syst e m LED on t he m od u le’s front panel blinks off once every 5 se conds. (See “System LED” on pa ge 3-5.) This behav ior indicates that the module is properly operat ing and that ComOS ha s fully booted up . It may take up to 2 minutes for the INA module to reach this state after the power is turned on.

Connect Cables

The necessary cables must be connected to the INA module before you can proceed with the rest of the installation and configuration.

Connect a Serial Passthrough Cable

Connect the su pplie d st raigh t-thr ough RJ-45 ca ble bet ween the C1 p ort (Figu re 3 -1) o n the INA module and the administration port (labeled ADMIN) on the MERLIN MAGIX processor module.

3-6 INA Module Installation and Configuration Guide

Using the INAWizard 4

The INAWizard program provides basic config uration settings for the INA module. The wizard uses a graphical user interface (GUI) to guide you step by step through the configuration process.

The program runs on pl atforms that use Microsoft Windows 95, Windows 98, or Windows NT 4.0 and later. A platform with a 486/DX-or-faster proces sor wit h 32 MB of RAM minimum is required. A processor with 48 megabytes RAM is recommended.

The INAWizard performs the initial configuration for new modules, including setting the IP address for the module’s Ethernet port. The wizard can also be used to reconfigure modules that have already bee n set up.

This chapter discusse s the following to pics:

• “Install the Wizard” on page 4-1

• “Connect the Workstation to the INA Module” on page 4-1

• “Run the Wizard” on page 4-2

Install the Wizard

Install the INAWizard by running the program inawizard_install.exe. The installation program can be found on the CD-ROM included with this guide. Follow the instructions in the resulting dia log boxe s t o com plete the i nstall ation . Luc ent recomm ends using the Java runtime engine that comes with the installation package, rather than any existing copy.

Connect the Workstation to the INA Module

For the wizard to work, an Ethernet connection between the workstation running the wizard and the module must exist. You can usually make the connection through your network, but you can use a free standing workstation and a crossover Ethernet cable instead.

Over a LAN

If the module is being configured for the first time and does not have an Ethernet address configured, the workstation running the INAWizard and the INA module itself must be on the same subnet. The wizard automatically identifies the INA module and sets the Ether0 address.

If the workstation is not on the same sub net, then the initial Ethe rnet configuration for the module must be set through a console connection and the command line interface. See “Connect a Console (O ptional)” on page 3-3 an d “Set the Ether0 Network Address” on page 5-3.

4-1

Run the Wizard

Using the Command Line Interface 5

The ComOS commands can be used to configure the INA module directly through the ComOS command line interface. You access the command line interface through the console port C0 using a terminal or PC running a terminal emulator. Once the module has been connected to a network, the best way to access the command line interface is through a Telnet session from a network workstation.

This chapter shows the basic ComOS commands that are used to configure the INA module. Further details ca n be found in the PortMast er Command Lin e Reference and the PortMaster Configuration Guid e.

The following configuration steps are discussed:

• “Connect a Console” on pa ge 5-1

• “Log In” on page 5-2

• “Set the Administrative Passw ord” on page 5-2

• “Set the Ether0 Network Address” on page 5-3

• “Set the System Name” on page 5-4

• “Set the Default Route Gatew ay” on page 5-4

• “Use Name Resolution (Optional )” on page 5-4

• “Configure the WAN Port” on page 5-5

Before configuring the INA module with the command line interface , make sure you have done the following:

• Assigned T1/PRI channels to the INA module. See “Assign T1/PRI Channels” on page 2-2.)

• Collected all the information needed for your network. (See “Network Settings” on page 2-2.)

Connect a Console

There are three ways to establish a console session. Yo u can use the console port, a Telnet session or use the ME RLIN MAGIX in ternal modem and the Wi nS P M passthrough option.

Using the C0 Console Port

You can connect to the console port with a terminal or a PC workstation running a terminal emulation program . See “Con nect a Cons ole (Optiona l)” on page 3-3 for more details.

5-1

Log In

Using a Telnet Session

Once the INA module has been connected to a network and an Ethernet address has been assigned, Telnet is the best way to establish a console session.

1. Run a Telnet application from a network connec ted workstation.

2. Sel ect the connect func tion, and enter the IP address assigned to the INA module’s Ethernet port.

3. Press Enter if needed.

A login prompt appears.

Using the Passthrough Serial Connection

1. Make su re that the serial passth rough cable has been c onnec ted t o the IN A module and the MERLN MAGIX processor module.

See “Connect a Serial Passthrough Cable” on page 3-1.

2. Use th e MERLIN MAGIX WinSPM applicati on on a PC workstatio n with a modem to dial up a connection to the MERLN MAGIX processor module.

Connect to *10 to access the modem.

3. Enter your MERLIN MAGIX system administration password and select the WinSPM Passthrough option.

4. Press Enter to receive a login prompt to the comm and line inte rface of the router.

Follow these steps to log in to the INA module:

1. At the login prompt, type !root and press Enter.

2. At the password prompt, press Enter—no password is needed for a first-time installation.

Set the Administrative Password

The password is an AS CII-printa ble string of u p to 16 chara cters used t o access the I NA module administrative features. Only a person with administrative access can change this password.

Enter the following commands to set the password:

5-2 INA Module Installation and Configuration Guide

Command> set password [Password] Command> save all

Caution – Change the administrative password each time you give it to somone outside

the organization for servicing.

Set the Ether0 Network Address

You can set an IP and IPX address on the INA module . Both IP and IPX ro uting protocols are enable d by default. Info rmation on IPX se ttings can be found in the

PortMaster Configuration G uide and the PortMaster Command Line Reference.

Set the IP Address and Netmask

The IP address identifies the port for IP Ethernet traffic. The default netmask (subnet mask) is 255.255.2 55.0. If you r netwo rk is divid ed into sub nets, en ter the n etmas k that identifies how your network addresses are divided between the network portion and the host portion.

Set the Ether0 Network Address

Use the following commands to set the IP address and netmask:

Command> set ether0 address Ipaddress Command> set ether0 netmask Ipmask Command> save all

Set the Broadcast Address

The broadcast addre ss, constructed from the IP address a nd netmask of a spec ified Ethernet interface, is used by RIP to send information to other hosts on a local Ethernet network.

When you set a broadcast a ddress for the Ethe rnet port on the INA m odule, all other hosts on the local Ethernet ne twork, must be se t to the same broa dcast addres s.

Use these commands to set the broadcast address:

Command> set ether0 broadcast high|low Command> save all

high—Use when the host part of the binary address is all 1s (ones)—such as

192.168.1.255. This is the most often used setting.

low—Use w hen the host part of the binary ad dress is all 0s (ze ros)—such as

192.168.1.0. This is the default sett ing.

Using the Command Line Interface 5-3

Set the System Name

The system name identifie s the INA module for Sim ple Network Manageme nt Protocol (SNMP) querie s, IPX protoc ol routing, and Challenge Handshake Au thenticati on Protocol (CHAP) authentica tion.

Use these comma nds to set the sy stem name:

Command> set sysname String Command> save all

The system name can have up to 16 characters. When the system name is set, it replaces the word Command in the prompt.

Set the Default Route Gateway

The default gateway address is the destination address to which the INA module sends the packet when its

The INA module supports ei ther the NIS or the DN S. See the PortMaste r Configuration Guide for more informa tion on name serv ices.

Use these comman ds to set the nam e service:

Command> set namesvc dns|nis Command> save all

Once the name service is set, you must set the address of your NIS or DNS name server and enter the domain name of your networ k.

Set the Name Server

The INA module supports RF C 1877, which allows remo te hosts also support ing RFC 1877 to learn the name of a server through PPP negotiation. You must provide the IP address of the name server if you use a name service.

Use the following command to set the name server:

Command> set nameserver Ipaddress Command> save all

Note – You can disable the use of a name service by setting the name server’s IP address



to 0.0.0.0.

Set the Domain Name

The domain name is used for hostname resolution. If you are using DNS or NIS, you must set a domain name for your network.

Command> set domain String

Configure the WAN Port

ComOS automatically creates a WAN port that makes the high-speed dedicated connection to the INA module. For example, if four PRI channels numbered 5, 6, 7, 8 have been assigned to the INA module, ComOS creates WAN port W4. With a data capacity of 4 x 64Kbps or 256Kbps.

The WAN port number assigned by ComOS is based on the lowest channel number used by the channel group minus one. For example, if T1/PRI channels 12, 13, 14, and 15 are assigned to the INA module, port W11 is assigned to the group.

All data channels assigned to the INA module are initially placed in channel group 1. I f necessary you can configure the channel rate for this channel group.

More than one WAN port can be confi gu r ed if d iffe re nt g roup s o f T1 /PR I c ha nne ls se rv e more then one destination. Additional WAN ports must be separately configured with IP address, netmask, prot ocol, channel spee d, and any other desire d parameters. See “Se t Up Additional WAN Ports” on page 5-6.

Using the Command Line Interface 5-5

Configure the WAN Port

Note – Be sure to reset the WAN port or reboot the rou ter aft er maki ng cha nges t o the WAN port configuration. To reboot, enter the reboot co mmand or press the re boot



button on the INA module.

Set the Channel Rate

Almost all data channels have a channel rate of 64Kbs, the default value assigned by ComOS. However, if the channel rate is 56kbs, you must set the channel rate to that value.

Cgroup is the defined channel group number. ComOS initially assigns all INA module data channels to group 1. If you set up addition al WAN ports, you must issue this command for each of the channel groups you have set up.

Use the following commands to set the channel rate:

Command> set line0 group Cgroup 56K|64k Command> save all

Set Up Additional WAN Ports

To set up additional WAN ports use the following commands:

Command> set line0 group Cgroup channels Channel-list Command> save all

For example, suppos e you had a PRI lin e with channels 1, 2, 3, and 4 assigned to you r ISP and channels 9 and 10 assigned to a connection to a branch office. Initially, channels 1, 2, 3, 4, 9, and 10 are all assigned to W0 by ComO S. To create a new WAN por t, you must enter the following commands:

Command> set line0 group 2 channels 9 10 Command> save all Command> reboot

As a result, WAN port W0 is assigned to channels 1, 2, 3, and 4 and WAN port W8 is assigned to channels 9 and 10.

You must then configure W8 with the desir ed pro to col, I P address, netmask, and r el ate d settings. Be sure to set the correct channel rate for the new group, if necessary, with the

set line0 command.

Set the Port IP Address (Optional)

You can set the local IP addre ss of the W0 p ort to create an interfac e with a IP ad dress. You can use any IP address. If you set the local a ddress of the WAN port to 0.0.0.0 for

PPP, the I NA m o dule use s t he E th er0 a dd re ss for t he en d of the s er ial link. If you set the WAN port address to 0.0.0. 0 for a Frame Relay conne ction, the port is dis abled.

Use the following commands to set the IP address:

5-6 INA Module Installation and Configuration Guide

Command> set W1 address Ipaddress Command> save all

Set the Destination IP Address

The destination IP ad dress is the IP a ddress or hostn ame of the machine on the other end of the connection. The de stinatio n IP addr ess can also be set to 255. 255.255 .255 for PPP users. This settin g allows the INA modu le to learn the IP address of the syst em on the other end of the connection using PPP IPCP address negotiation.

Do not set a destination IP address for Frame Relay connections. Instead, use a data link connection identif ier (DLCI) list to link I P addresses to DLC Is, or use the Local Management Inte rface (LMI) or Ann ex-D status u pdates and Inv erse ARP to discov er Frame Relay addres ses dynamically. See the PortMaster Configur ation Guide fo r more information.

Use the following commands to set the destination IP address:

Command> set W1 destination Ipaddress [Ipmask] Command> save all

Configure the WAN Port

Set the Netmask

The default netmask is 255. 255.255.0. If the remot e network has been divi ded into subnets, enter the netmask that identifies how the remote network addresses are divided between the ne twork portion and the host portion. The va lue of Ipmask is dependent upon the s ize of the IP subne t of which the IP addr ess is a member.

Use the following commands to set the netmask:

Command> set W1 netmask Ipmask Command> save all

Set the Transport Protocol

The transport protocol can be set to either PPP or Frame Relay. If Frame Relay is used, additional Frame Re lay settings must be configured. See th e PortMaster Configurati on Guide for more information .

Use these commands to set the transport protoco l:

Command> set W1 protocol ppp|frame Command> save all Command> reboot

Apply Filters to the WAN Port (Opti onal)

Filters can be used to provide elementary firewa ll protection for your WAN port. For information on input and output filters, see the Port Master Configura tion Guide.

5-8 INA Module Installation and Configuration Guide

Using PMVision 6

PMVision is a Java-based program with a graphical user interface (GUI) that can be used to monitor and configure the INA module. Information about using PMVision on other platforms can be found in the PMVision User’s Guide, which describes the capabilities of PMVision in more detail.

PMVision runs on platforms that use Microsoft Windows 95, Windows 98, or NT 4.0 and later. A platform with a 486/DX or faster process or with 32 MB RAM min imum is required. A processor with 48 megabytes RAM is recommended.

This chapter briefly describes how to use PMVision to configure a INA module. Consult the PMVision User’s Guide for information on using othe r PMVision functions. Topics covered include:

• “Install PMVision” on page 6-1

• “Connect the Workstation to the INA Module” on page 6-1

• “Run PMVision” on page 6-2

• “Communicate with the INA Module” on page 6-3

• “Selecting PMVision Functions” on page 6-4

Install PMVisio n

To install PMVision on a Windows 95, Windows 98 or NT 4.0 platform, run the pmvision_install.exe program found on the I NA software CD. Follow the in structions provided by the progra m.

Connect the Workstation to the INA Module

For PMVision to communicate to the module, an Ethernet connection between the workstation and the module must exist. You can usually make the connection through your network. A free standing workstation and a crossover Ethernet cable can be used instead.

Over a LAN

The Ethernet address for the INA module must be set before you can use PMVision. If the INAWizard has been already been used to configure the module, then the Ether0 address is set. The Ether0 address can also be set through a console connection and the command line interface . See “Connect a Conso le (Optional)” on pag e 3-3 and “Set the Ether0 Network Addres s” on page 5-3.

6-1

Run PMVision

Using a Crossover Cable

An independent laptop or desktop workstat ion equipped with a n etwork interface ca rd can be used to run PMVison. Connect an Ethernet crossover cable between the Ethernet connection on the workstation and the Ethernet port on the INA module. (See “Crossover Cable” on page B-3.)

Before proceeding, determine the Ethernet address that the INA module has been set to. Set the workstation’s IP address to an address on the same subnet as the module’s Ether0 address. An easy way to do so is to choose an address one number above or below the module’s address.

Run PMV ision

Before configuring the INA module with PMVI SION, make sure you have done the following:

• Assign T1/PRI channels to the INA module. See “Assign T1/PRI Channels” on page 2-2.)

• Collect all the information needed for your network. (See “Network Settings” on page 2-2.)

To start PMVision, select the PMVision icon from the Lu cent folder in your Start → Programs menu. The m ain PMVision screen appea rs (Figure 6- 1).

MERLIN MAGIX Administration C

This appendix describes t he MERLIN MAGIX sy stem programmi ng options for the INA module. The INA module is identified as a 100R module in MERLIN M AGIX programming and consol e displays.

The following topics are cov ered:

• “INA Module System Progr amming Summary ” on page C-1

• “INA Module Administra tion Options” on pa ge C-1

• “INA Module Maintenanc e Options” on page C-3

• “INA Module System Interactions” on page C-7

INA Module System Programming Summary

In general, the INA/100R module supports the same system programming options as the 100D module. Specific exceptio ns and additions are noted in this appendix. Additio ns include the ability to configure and maintain the internal CSU/DSU support ed by the 100R module. Exceptions include that on ly bipolar 8- zero substit ution (B8ZS) encoding is supported when the mo dule is used in PRI mod e. For more informati on on 100D module programming, s ee the System P rogramm ing Manual (555-710-111).

Note – To avoid corruption of data sent and received by the integrated data rou ter,



Lucent recommends tha t all T1/PRI lines used w ith the INA module be provisioned for B8ZS encoding.

Each 100R module accommodates up t o 23 PRI channels or 24 T1 channels. Each channel can be either used by the MERLIN MAGIX or assigned to the data router. Channels assigned to the router can be used for Internet access, remote network connections, and other WAN applications.

Channels on the 100R module provide the same features and capabilities as channels on a 100D module. For exa mple, the channels on t he 100R module can be configured as robbed-bit channels for T1 applications or can be used in B-channel groups for PRI applications. Channels on the 100R module count towa rds system capacities just as channels on the 100D mod ule d o. C han ne ls th at ar e assi gn ed t o th e rou ter are inc lude d in the count. Therefore , the combined total of 100R and 100D modu les in a system cannot exceed three.

In addition to MERLIN M AGIX system progr amming, the INA modu le requires programming sp ecifically fo r the router s ubsystem. (S ee “Netwo rk Settings” o n page 2-2.)

INA Module Administration Options

The INA module introduce s two additional admi nistration options : to activate or deactivate the onboard CSU and DSU cha nnel selection.

The rest of the a dministra tion optio ns are ess entially the s ame as for the 100D mo dule. For more information on configuring the 100D modu le, see System Programming manual (555-710-111).

Activate or Deactivate the Onboard CSU

The internal CSU on the INA mo dule is activated by d efault. You can view and change this setting by using the following seq uence on your sy stem programm ing console:

Menu: SysProg→Start→LinesTrunks→More→More→CSU/DSU→Slot#→Enter→ ActivateCSU

Caution – The MER LIN MAGIX is forced into an idle sta te if the CSU settings are

changed during active voice calls. In this case, the change in CSU s tatus occurs after a ll active voice calls have been terminated.

Deactivating the CSU has the following impact on 100R m odule operation:

• The 100R board does not res pond to network initia ted loopback reque sts.

• The 100R board does not se nd T1 performance statistics to the network.

• The line compens ation value u sed by the 100R board corr esponds to the DTE settings appropriate for a 100D module inste ad of a CSU. The DTE and CSU values are summar ized in Table C-1



INA Module Maintenance Options

Note – For T1 configurations, you can assign a channel to the router only if the channel is Unequipped from a switch perspective. For PRI configurations , you can assign a channel to the router only if the channel is not used in a B channel group or a line pool on the switch.

Note – For the router to recognize a change in channel assignments, you must reboot the router either from it s command line interf ace or by pressing the re boot button on the INA module.

You can view a summary of DSU channel assignments by using the following sequence on your system programming console.

Menu: SysProg→Start→LinesTrunks→More→More→CSU/DSU→ Slot#→Enter→ChannelSel→Inspect

All channels are listed and marked with one of the selections shown in Table C-2: Tab l e C - 2 Inspect DSU Channel Assignments

Selection Description

R The channel is assigned to the router. S The channel is assigned to the switch. U The channel is assigned to neither the router nor the

switch.

Use the following sequence on your system programming console to unassign channels from the router.

Menu: SysProg→Start→LinesTrunks→More→More→CSU/DSU→ Slot#→Enter→ChannelSel→Channel#→Delete

You must repeat this sequence for each channel to be unassigned from the router.

INA Module Maintenance Optio ns

The 100R module has im proved T1/PRI err or event report ing and has an expa nded set of demand tests. All 100D module maintenance options are also included.

Error Events

The INA module provides three additional error event counts as well as the ability to manually clear these error event counts. Included are

• 24-hour event totals

• Current events

• Selected interval events

• Clearing error events

C-3

INA Module Maintenance Options

Note – The additional error event counts are cleared whenever the INA module is reset. Be sure to view the error events before resetting the module or busying out the module.



From your system programm ing console, use the follow ing sequence to access the INA module Error Event s screen. Be sure t o select the corres ponding INA modu le slot number.

Menu: Maintenance→Slot→Slot#→Enter→Error Events

The Current Hour and Previous Hour error event screens that are also used on the 100D module are available on the INA mo dule. Cleari ng the new er ror event counts does n ot affect the Current Hour and Previous Hour error event counts. Because the Current Hour and Previous Hour statistics are computed with a different algorithm, Current Hour and Previous Hour counts do not match the newer counts.

24 Hour Event Totals

The 24-hour tot al error event screen reports c umulative er ror statist ics spanning th e past 24 hours. The current even t totals are no t included in this re port. From yo ur system programming console, use the following sequence to access the INA 24 Hr Total screen. Be sure to selec t the correspo nding INA module slot number.

Menu: Maintenance→Slot→Slot#→Enter→Error Events→24 hr total

This screen provides s tatistics related to the health of the T1/PRI int erface. These statistics are summarized in Table C-3.

C-4 INA Module Installation and Configuration Guide

Each error statist ic represents th e sum of error even ts from all valid intervals includin g the current interval. The message “9999” represents an overflow situation.

You can refresh the 24-hour total screen by pressing →Back and then pres sing →24 hr total again.

Current Events

The Current error ev ent screen rep orts error statis tics for the 15-min ute interval th at is currently active. The elapsed minutes line displays the number of minutes that have elapsed for the current int erval. The elapsed m inutes display ran ges from 0 to 15 and is rounded to the nearest minute. From your system programming console, use the following sequen ce to access t he Current sc reen. Be sure to select the co rresponding INA module slot number.

INA Module Maintenance Options

Selected Interval Events

The Selected Inte rval Events scre en reports on err or statistics fo r a specific 15-minu te interval from the pa st 24 hours. Ninety -six 15-minute in tervals occur in a 24-hour period. Interval 1 is the most recent 15 minute interval just b efore the current interval, and interval 96 is the oldest interval. Fr om your system pro gramming conso le, use the following sequence to select a specific interval from the Selected Interval Events screen. Be sure to select the co rresponding INA module slot numbe r.

Menu: Maintenance→Slot→Slot#→Enter→ErrorEvents→Interval→ Interval#→Enter

Note – Invalid int ervals have all zeroes for err or data, but n o visual indi cation is give n



to show that the interval is not valid. Yo u can, however, compute the total number of invalid intervals by subtracting the valid interval count on the 24-hour total screen from

96.

Clearing Error Events

The Clear Erro r Eve nts scree n ca uses e rror eve nts fo r all inte rval s, inc luding th e cu rrent interval, to be cleared. From your system programm ing console, use the fol lowing sequence to access the Clear Err or Events scre en. Be sure to sele ct the corres ponding INA module slot number.

Menu: Maintenance→Slot→Slot#→Enter→Error Events→Clear

To stop the clear even t and retain all er ror events, pres s →Back or →Cancel. You will return to the Error events screen.

INA Module Maintenance Options

Demand Tests

The INA module board i ncorporates three ne w demand tests:

• Line loopback

• Payload loopback

• Bit error rate test (BERT)

Line Loopback T est

The line loopback test loo ps the T1 signal back towards the net work without regenerating framing and without recalculating a cyclic redunda ncy test (CRC) checksum. To perform this test, you must first busy out the I NA module. From your system programmi ng console, us e the followin g sequence to start the li ne loopback t est:

Menu: Maintenance→Slot→Slot#→Enter→Demand test→LineLpbk

After the line loopback test has been started , selecting →Back terminates the test. Note – During the line loopback te st, the INA module tran smit clocking is derived from

the signal received by the I NA module. The remote e nd of the T1 connection mu st be set up as the clock master for the T1/PRI inrfco v(o)6.5il tilcloo

INA Module System Interactions

Backup and Restore

Like the 100D module, an y programming done o n the MERLIN MAGIX fo r the INA module can be backed up an d restored wit h the system Person al Computer Me mory Card International As sociation (PCM CIA) card or by a PC ru nning WinSPM. The new administration options f or the INA module (CSU Act ivate/D eactivate and DSU Chann el Selection) are included.

Note – Administr ation dat a associat ed with t he route r is not backe d up and rest ored by



the MERLIN MAGIX backup functions. Router administration data must be backed up and restored separa tely by using PMVision (see C hapter 6, “Using PM Vision”). The INAWizard may be used to restore the basic network settings, but is not a true backup. (See Chapter 4, “Using the I NAWizard”.)

Surrogate Oper ation

The INA module supports su rrogate mode progr amming. The INA modu le is indicated on MERLIN MAGIX system program ming screens by the label 100R-U.

C-7

INA Module System Interactions

Board Renumbering

The INA module works in the s ame manner as the 100 D module for board renumbering. Use boa rd renumbering to re place a 100D module with a 100R module, and vice versa. After the board renumbe ring, T1/PRI data that had been previou sly administered for the replaced module is associated with the new module. The data channels assigned to the 100R are now be unassigned on the 100D module.

Print Reports

The System Inventory Report is enhanced to include summary information about INA modules present in the system. This summary information is pr esented under the

100-RU label.

PCMCIA Flash Memory Card-Based Upgrade Operation

The INA module firmware is upgradeable using the MERLIN MAGIX PCMCIA card. Note – Performing an upgrade to the INA module firmware using the MERLIN MAGIX



PCMCIA card does n ot upgrade the INA mo dule router so ftware. Router so ftware is upgraded separately with the PMVision application. Depending upon the nature of the upgrade, either a INA module firmware upgrade, or a router software upgrade, or both might be required.
