Radio Frequency Interference Regulations

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital
device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules, CISPR22 and EN55022. These limits are
designed to provide reasonable protection against interference when the equipment is
operated in a residential environment. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio
frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instruction manual,
may cause harmful interference to radio communications.

Changes or modifications not expressly approved by VanguardMS could void the user's
authority to operate the equipment.

This Class B digital apparatus meets all requirements of the Canadian Interference-Causing
Equipment Regulations.

This is a Class B product. Operation of this equipment in a residential environment may
cause radio interference, in which case the user may be required to take adequate measures to
correct the interference at his/her own expense.

This product was verified under test conditions that included the use of shielded DTE
cable(s). A cable equipped with a ferrite bead may also have been used. Use of different
cables will invalidate verification and increase the risk of causing interference to radio and
TV reception.

You can obtain the proper cables from Vanguard Managed Solutions.

Telecommunications Regulations

Equipment that complies with Part 68 of the FCC rules includes a label or permanent
marking on the printed circuit board that connects to the network that contains, among other
information, the FCC registration number and ringer equivalence number (REN) for this
equipment. If requested, this information must be provided to the telephone company. A plug
and jack used to connect this equipment to the premises wiring and telephone network must
comply with the applicable FCC Part 68 rules and requirements adopted by the ACTA. A
compliant telephone cord and modular plug is provided with this product. It is designed to be
connected to a compatible modular jack that is also compliant. See installation instructions
for details.

The REN is used to determine the number of devices that may be connected to a telephone
line. Excessive RENs on a telephone line may result in the devices not ringing in response to
an incoming call. In most but not all areas, the sum of RENs should not exceed five (5.0). To
be certain of the number of devices that may be connected to a line, as determined by the total
RENs, contact the local telephone company. The REN for this product is part of the product
identifier that has the format US:AAAEQ##TXXXX. The digits represented by ## are the
REN without a decimal point (e.g., 03 is a REN of 0.3).

If this equipment causes harm to the telephone network, the telephone company will notify
you in advance that temporary discontinuance of service may be required. But if advance
notice isn't practical, the telephone company will notify the customer as soon as possible.
Also, you will be advised of your right to file a complaint with the FCC if you believe it is
necessary. The telephone company may make changes in its facilities, equipment, operations
or procedures that could affect the operation of the equipment. If this happens the telephone
company will provide advance notice in order for you to make necessary modifications to
maintain uninterrupted service. If the equipment is causing harm to the telephone network,
the telephone company may request that you disconnect the equipment until the problem is
resolved. Connection to party line service is subject to state tariffs. Contact the state public
utility commission, public service commission or corporation commission for information. If
your home has specially wired alarm equipment connected to the telephone line, ensure the
installation of this equipment does not disable your alarm equipment. If you have questions
about what will disable alarm equipment, consult a trained technician.

Equipment that meets the applicable Industry Canada Terminal Equipment Technical
Specifications is conformed by the registration number. Equipment that complies with
Industry rules includes a label or permanent marking on the printed circuit board that
connects to the network. The abbreviation, IC, before the registration number signifies that
the registration was performed based on a Declaration of Conformity indicating that Industry
Canada technical specifications were met. It does not imply that Industry Canada approved
the equipment.

For detailed information about a VPN, refer to your Virtual Private Network Manual
(VPN) (Part Number T0103-10).

What is a VPN? A Virtual Private Network (VPN) is a network that has the appearance and many of

the advantages of a dedicated link but occurs over a shared network. Using a
technique called “tunneling,” packets are transmitted across a public routed network,
such as the Internet or other commercially available network, in a private “tunnel”
that simulates a point-to-point connection.

This approach enables network traffic from many sources to travel through separate
tunnels across the same infrastructure. A VPN allows network protocols to traverse
incompatible infrastructures. A VPN also enables traffic from many sources to be
differentiated, so that it can be directed to specific destinations and receive specific
levels of service.

Advantages of a
VPN

A VPN provides following advantages:

• Cost Effectiveness

- Infrastructure Cost - By using a VPN, a company need not invest money

on connectivity equipment like leased lines, WAN switches etcetera. The
connectivity is provided by the service provider.

- Operational Cost - Costs involved with maintaining leased lines or a

private WAN along with the money spent on people to maintain them can
be avoided.

• Manageability

- A VPN is more easily managed when compared to a fully private network.

Requirements of a
VPN

Below are some of the requirements of a VPN:

• Connectivity

- There needs to be network connectivity among the various corporate sites.

This connectivity is typically used through the Internet.

•Security

- Data exchanged between the various corporate sites is confidential. When

data is sent over a public network it is usually encrypted. The encryption
algorithm must be robust enough to withstand any type of snooping.

1-10 About the Vanguard 340 and 340 Enhanced

• Address Management

- The Addresses of the clients on each of the private sites should not be the

ones used in the public domain, however, packets sent out onto the public
network must have public source/destination addresses.

• Multiprotocol Support

- The solution must be able to handle common protocols used in the

corporate network.

Cost-effective VPN Solutions

Small to Medium
Enterprise (SME)

The Vanguard VPN solution is ideal for SMEs that are looking to take advantage of
the flexibility, global reach, security, and cost savings of Internet-based VPNs. The
current Vanguard installed-base can be easily upgraded to support VPN site-to-site
applications at a very competitive price point.

Hardware-based Encryption and Compression

Data Encryption
and Compression

Data encryption is a very CPU intensive process and is therefore best implemented
on hardware. The VanguardMS solution provides a secure hardware-based
encryption and compression on a single module. Figure 1-1 shows an example of a
secure hardware-based VPN solution for a site-to-site application.

Hardware Options
Vanguard 340

The Vanguard 340 supports the DES (56-bit) and Triple-DES (112-bit) Encryption
and Compression SIMMs. Vanguard Triple-DES encryption uses 2 pre-shared keys
with throughputs of up to 3 Megabytes per second (Mbps).

Hardware Options
Vanguard 340
Enhanced

The Vanguard 340 Enhanced uses an ECC DIMM which supports DES, Triple-DES
(168-bit) and AES Encryption.

For detailed information regarding Encryption, refer to your Encryption Manual
(Part Number T0103-09).

Standard-based Tunneling and Encryption for IP Traffic

IPSec IPSec is the predominant tunneling and security standard for IP Networks. It defines

protocols required for site-to-site as well as remote access VPN implementations at
layer 3 of the OSI model. Vanguard Applications Ware release 5.5 and greater
supports these IPSec features:

• Authentication Header (AH) and Encapsulating Security Payload (ESP) for
user authentication and encryption.

• Internet Key Exchange (IKE) using preshared keys for key management.

• Message Digest (MD5) and Secure Hashing Algorithm-1 (SHA-1) for data
integrity.

340 Enhanced:

• ISAKMP supports DES, Triple-DES and AES

• ESP support DES, Triple-DES and AES

Note

ISAKMP and ESP support is available with the ECC DIMM on the Vanguard
340 Enhanced.

Multi-protocol Tunneling and Encryption

General Router
Encryption (GRE)

Whereas IPSec can only tunnel IP traffic over IP Networks, GRE tunneling is a
Layer 2 protocol that can tunnel multi-protocol traffic over IP Networks. This
enables the Vanguard to tunnel and encrypt IP, IPX, AppleTalk, and other bridge
data.

DES and Triple-DES (112-bit) are used as encryption algorithms and the fast and
efficient SAM proprietary key exchange protocol is used for key management.
Integrity Check Character (ICC) establishes data integrity when the SAM protocol is
implemented.

Target Applications

Frame Relay and X.25 Encryption

Frame Relay and
X.25 Networks

Another value-added feature in Vanguard Managed Solutions VPN implementation
is the ability to encrypt LAN traffic and serial legacy protocols (SNA, SDLC, SLAC,
and TBOP) and tunnel them over Frame Relay and X.25 networks. This is
particularly useful in the financial industry where SNA traffic going out into the
branches and ATM machines require a high level of security. This implementation
also uses DES, Triple-DES (112-bit) for encryption and VanguardMS Proprietary
SAM key exchange protocol to negotiate the keys.

Figure 1-2. Encryption over IP, Frame Relay, and X.25 Networks

Security Features

The security features in Vanguard Applications Ware release 5.5 and greater also
include Firewall functionality based on IP Packet Filtering. Access Control Lists can
be configured based on a combination of source and destination addresses. IP
Protocol, TCP/UDP source and destination port numbers/ranges, and interface
numbers. A feature called Cypher Block Chaining prevents repeated patterns in
Plaintext from appearing as repeated patterns in Cyphertext, thus making it harder
for hackers to find traffic patterns.

Target Applications

Vanguard 340 and 340 Enhanced DSL and G.SHDSL

DSL/Cable Modem The Vanguard 340, and 340 Enhanced support connectivity to high-speed broadband

services such as DSL and Cable by connecting the 10/100BaseT port on the
Vanguard 340 Enhanced to the Ethernet port on the DSL or Cable modem.

Cable modem speeds vary in the downstream direction. Network speeds can reach
27 Mbps., but this is an aggregate amount of bandwidth that is shared by users. Few
computers will be capable of connecting at such high speeds, so a more realistic
number is 1 to 3 Mbps. In the upstream direction speeds can be up to 10 Mbps. Most
modem producers have selected a more optimum speed between 500 Kbps and 2.5
Mbps.

DB25 V.24 Pinouts

Connector Pinouts This table shows the DB25 V.24 connector pinouts for DCE/DTE mode. To use DTE

to DTE or DCE to DCE mode, a crossover adapter cable is required. Refer to
Figure 3-5 on page 3-21 for crossover cable connections.

These pins are assigned double functions in the V.24 cable:

• Pin 15: Outputs TRANSMIT CLOCK if the port is configured for internal
clocks. Otherwise it acts as a V.54 Loop 1 signal when connected to a modem.

• Pin 22: Used as the Ring Indicator output if the port is configured to emulate a
dial modem. For this to work properly, the RI/TM port must be configured to
RI. When the RI/TM is configured to TM, this pin acts as an input, and the
TM output from the attached modem (pin 25 on the modem) comes into the
6500 on this pin.

For more information on configuring the V.24 interface type, refer to the “Setting the
Interface Type” section on page 3-9.

Accessing the Control Terminal Port

Accessing the Control Terminal Port

Introduction Once you have powered on the Vanguard 34x, you can access the Control Terminal

Port from the PC or terminal attached to the CTP port.
This section does not provide all information about accessing the CTP. For more

information on accessing and using the CTP refer to the Vanguard Basic
Configuration Manual (Part Number T0113).

Procedure Follow these steps to access the Vanguard 34x CTP Main menu:

Note

This procedure assumes that a PC or terminal is connected to the Vanguard 34x
using the CTP access cable.

CTP Access Using
Remote Telnet

Another way to connect to the CTP, after the node is configured and operational, is to
access remotely via your established IP network by telneting into the node from an
IP network-based personal computer or workstation. You can create a telnet session
from your PC to the target node using and IP address configured in that node.

Connect to the CTP by entering atds0 <CR> after the Vanguard 34x outputs the OK
prompt on your Telnet terminal window.

CTP Access Using
Remote X.25 or
Frame Relay
Network

If the Vanguard 34x is operating in an X.25 network, or if Frame Relay Annex-G is
used to connect with other VanguardMS Network Access Product nodes, you can
access the Vanguard CTP remotely by making a Switched Virtual Circuit (SVC) call
to the node and specifying subaddress 98.

For example:

• If you are using ASYNC PAD, type 10198 at the asterisk (*) prompt, and

then press Enter.

• If you are using AT PAD, type atds010198, and then press Enter.

Step Action

1 Set your terminal, or terminal emulation software, to VT100, 9600 bps,

8 bit, no parity, 1 stop bit.

2 Type

<CR> until either an asterisk (*) or the OK prompt appears.

3 When you see OK, type

atds0 <CR>. When you see the asterisk (*) type

.ctp.

The CTP banner will appear. If this banner does not appear, verify that
these steps have been followed correctly.

Alternative Methods for Accessing the CTP

Introduction This section describes alternative methods for accessing the CTP over a Frame Relay

Bypass connection when:

• the terminal of the local Vanguard device does not have IP connectivity or

• cannot connect to the target device over the LAN (serial port only)

• the WAN is not using X.25 or Annex G

Using Remote
Telnet

VanguardMS Vanguard devices have a built-in Telnet feature that allows to you
access the CTP of other Vanguard devices. To use this feature, both the local and
target devices must be configured using an IP network connection. Use these steps to
access the CTP of another Vanguard device from your local node:

1) Access the local Vanguard’s CTP.

2) Select the Diagnostics Menu, and then select Telnet.

3) Type any IP address that is configured in the target Vanguard.

Using SoTCP If the target Vanguard device has been previously configured for a particular network

connection using SoTCP and AT PAD, you can access the CTP using Frame Relay
Bypass. Use these steps to establish an SoTCP connection to the target Vanguard’s
CTP using Frame Relay Bypass:

1) From the (*) prompt, type 10198 and press Enter.

2) At the OK prompt, type atds0<target node> (example: atds010198) and press

Enter.
