What Is Install Tool?
Install Tool is a standalone program for configuring the basic services of a
Passport 4400 unit sufficient to make it accessibl e wi thin a Passport network. It is
designed to simplify the initial setup of a new unit that you are installing in a
network.
Using Passport 4400 Install Tool Version 4.2
24
Install Tool provides a graphical representation of a Passport 4400 backpanel to
show the current configur ation of the unit and to allow basic configuration of the
primary services available on the unit.
Passpo rt 4400 Software Support Levels
Passport 4400 Install Tool Release 4.2 supports the following Passport 4400
models, running Release 3.x and Release 4.x system software:
•Passport 4430
•Passport 4450 and Passport 4455
•Passport 4460
Availability
Install Tool is included on the Passport 4400 software distribution CD. In
addition, distributors can download the Install Tool sof tware, at no cost, from the
Partner B u s ine ss Ce nter web site (http://www57.nortelnetworks.com/global/products/passport/software.html).

•A mouse or other pointing device
206906-D Rev 00 4.2
Refer to “What the Installation Procedure Does” on page 36 for a description of
additional sof twa re that is required to run Install Tool.
Security Considerations
There are two security-related issues to consider when planning your
Passport 4400 device management operations.
Community Strings
The Passport 4400 uses SNMP Version 1 for all of its dev ice management
operations (confi guring, monitoring, resetting, and so forth). SNMP Version 1
uses community strings to control access to devices in a network. Since these are
simple text strings, they are relatively insecure.
25
You can use the Passport 4400 Configurator or the Passport 4400 CLI to change
your community strings. Install Tool allows you to specify a node’s community
string (password) when you establish a connection with the node, but it does not
include a provision to change the community string.
Dial- Up Connections
The Passport 4400 provides a PPP stack, thereby enabling access to Passport 4400
nodes through dial-up connections. This PPP implementation doe s not provide
authentication controls. Therefor e, if you connect a modem to a Passport 44 00 to
support a dial- up connec tion , tha t node bec omes accessi ble to a ny rem ote hos t t hat
knows the phone number of the modem and the community string of that node.
Furthermore, any host that successfully connects to a dial-up port can potentially
gain access to all devices that are visible to the Passport 4400.
It is recommended that you take appropriate measures to protect your network
from unauthorize d access. For example:
•If you access a Passport 4400 through a dial-up connecti on, disconnect the
modem from the Passport 4400 at the completion of your session.
•Consider using a dial-back modem rather than a dial-up modem.
Using Passport 4400 Install Tool Version 4.2
26
•Treat your community strings as passwords and manage them as you would
any other password system.
For more information about dial-up connections, refer to “Connecting a
Workstation” on page 27 and “Configuring a Dia l-Up Networking Connection”
on page 46.

Readying a New Passport 4400
A factory-new Passport 44 00 requires some prepar ation before you can configure
it using Install Tool. The following manuals provide specif ic instructions for
Passport 4400 physical installation, preparation, and cable connections:
The Passport 4400 is shipped from the factory with a pre-configur ed IP address
(192.168.200.200). You can connect your workstation to the unit using the
Ethernet port, as long as the worksta tion is in the same IP segment as the
Passport 4400.
Example
This illustration shows an Ethernet connection on a Passport 4460.

Other Connection Options
If your workstation’s Ethernet port is not configured for the same IP segment as
that of the Passport 4400, you must connect your workstation to the unit ove r the
management port, as describe d in “Management Por t Direct Connection” on
page 29 and “Management Port M odem Connection” on page 30.

About the Management Cables
There are two types of management cables used on Passport 4400 units:
•Use management cable number NTAU17AA for Passport 4430,
Passport 4450, and Passport 4455 units. In this case, you connect the DB-25
end of the cable to the PC and the RJ-45 end of the cable to the Passport 4400

Configuring the Mode m Attached to the PC
When you configure the modem that is attached to your PC, be sure to choose the
correct driver for the device. Once the modem is installed, configure the modem
properties with the phone number of the modem that is atta ched to the
Passport 4400.
Configuring the Modem Attached to the Passport 4400
The modem that is attached to the Passport 4400 must be configured for Quiet
operations (no result code, no command echo/local echo).
Caution: Do not connect a modem to the Passport 4400 management
port unless it is configu red for Quiet operations (as described in the
procedure below). Otherwise, the unit will not boot up succe ssfully
following a reset operation. Refer to your hardware manual for more
detailed information.
You use a terminal emulation program or a dumb terminal to configure the
modem. In either case, you must set the modem baud rate to match that of the
Passport 4400 management port (the default is 9600 baud).
Use your modem documentation and the procedu re that follows as a guide to
configuring the modem.
Procedure
T o configure a Hayes-c ompatible mode m for Quiet ope ratio ns, foll ow these ste ps:
1Connect the P C (or terminal) to the modem.
Refer to your modem documentation to determine the cabling requirement.
2Start the termina l emulation program.
3Set the seria l port baud rate to match that of the Passport 4400 management
port (the default is 9600 baud).

Do not return result codes.
Lock the serial por t rate to the current baud rat e (this is the rate
you set in step 3 above).
Ignore DTR (always on).
Write the current settings t o NVRAM (nonvolatile RAM). This
retains the configuration thr ough power cycles.
5Once the modem is configured, conne ct it to the Passport 4400 management
port (refer to “Management Port Modem Connection” on page 30.)
The Passport should now be ready to receive calls.
Note: I f your modem doesn't support the Hayes AT commands, consult
your modem documentation for the proce dure for your particular modem.
Testing the Modem Configuration
You can test the modem configuration by using a terminal emula tion program
(such as HyperTerminal or ProComm) to call the mode m connected to the
Passport 4400. You will see the CLI prompt when you successfully connect.
In Case of Difficulty
Your modem baud rate must match th at of the Passport 4400 manage ment port. If
your modem is set to something other than 9600 baud, and you subsequently r eset
the Passport 4400 to its factory defaults, your modem connection will fail. In this
case, you need t o res et the modem to 9 600 baud by unlocking the spe ed ( AT&B0),

changing the speed of the PC (or terminal connection) to 9600 baud, the n locking
the modem to this new speed. For this reason, al though it slows communications
with the Passport 4400, it is recommended that you not change the management
port speed from the default value (9600 baud).

About the Passport Null Modem Driver
Install Tool provides a “null modem” driver to support a direct connection
between a wor kstation serial port and the Passport 4400 management port. This
modem driver is copied to your workstation when you install Install Tool.
Locating the Null Modem Driver
The Install Tool installation process copies the null modem driver to your
Install Tool installation dir ectory. (The name of the modem driver is
PP4400Direct. The file name is PassportNullModem.inf.)
Note: If you uninstall the null modem driver and subsequent ly reinsta ll
Install Tool, the installation pr ocess does not reinstall the driver. Refer
to “Null Modem Driver Troubleshooting Tip” on page 36 for a
description of and recommended solution to the problem.
If You Are Using a Dial-Up Modem Connection
You do not need to install the null modem driver if your workstation is using a
modem (versus a se rial cable) to c onnec t to the Passport 4400. In this c ase, use the
driver provided with your modem.
Required Software Components
Your workstation needs the following software compo nen ts to support an IP
connection betwe en one of its serial ports and the Passport 4400 management
port:

There are several factors to consider when deciding whether or not to sele ct the
Default Gateway option, including:
•If you are using your workstation to access other services and applications on
the network, it is recommended that you deselect Use default gateway on remote network. When the Use default gateway on remote network box is
checked, W indows r outes a ll IP packe ts t hrough the de fault ga teway, which in
this case is the Passport 4400 PPP connection. This can signific antly degrade
the performance of other network applications.
•If you are using your workstation only for Passport 4400 device management
activities, it is rec ommended that you select the Use default gateway on remote netw ork option.
•If you are using your workstation to manage remote Passpor t 4400s, it is

Collecting Configuration Data
Install Tool provides a graphical user interface for entering and activa ting
Passport 4400 configuration values. Often, the person who collects the
configuration data is not the same as the person who inputs that data. A common
division of labor is:
•The Network Designer or Ne twork Engineer provides detailed Passport 4400
configuration data to the Install Tool operator.
•The Install Tool Operator enters that configuration data and brings the
Passport 4400 up to an operational state.
The Install Tool online help provides a set of forms for recor ding Passport 4400
configuration data.

Multiple Sessions On a Single Unit Not Recommended
If you are running Install Tool over the Ethernet port, there is no technical
limitation on the number of simultaneous Install Tool sessions that you can
establish with a Passport 4400. However, as a practica l matter , multiple
Install Tool sessions with a single unit can result in excessive polling, which
manifests itself in the form of frequent timeouts and retrie s. The ref ore, it is
recommended that you maintain onl y one Install Tool session whi le working with

206906-D Rev 00 4.2
Operating Modes
Install Tool provides three operating modes: wizard mode, standard mode, and
demo mode.
Wiza r d Mode
Description
Install Tool provides several wizards, each of which leads you through the
configuration of a specific set of Passport 4400 services (or, in the case of the
Setup Wizard, it leads you through the configuration of the entire unit). Ea ch
wizard pres ents a sequence of dialog panels through which you provide the
required configuration data. As you configure eac h port on the unit, the wizard
highlights tha t port on the backpanel image.
57
When to Use It
It is recommended that you use wizard mode to configure a fa c tory-new or
factory-defaulted Passport 4400.
For More Information
See Chapter 7, “Using Install Tool Wizards, ” for a detailed description of wizar d
mode.
Standard Mode
Description
Standard mode allows you to select and modify the config uration of any availa ble
port from the backpanel image. In addition, it allows you to provision services,
test ports, and display port status.
Using Passport 4400 Install Tool Version 4.2
58
When to Use It
There are no restrictions on the use of standard mode. For example, you may
decide to use s tandard mode af ter you ha ve esta blished a ba sic conf igura tion usi ng
wizard mode. Or, you may pr efer to use it exclu sively, and not use wizard mode at
all.
For More Information
See Chapter 8, “Using Standard Mode,” for a de tailed description of this
operating mode.
Demo Mode
Description
Demo mode allows you to engage in a simulated configuration session. The
operation is identical to an actual Install Tool session, but it makes no changes to
the Passport 4400 (in the event that you have established a connec tion between
your workstation a nd a Passpor t 4400). Demo mode does not require a connec tion
from your workstation to a Passport 4400.
When to Use It
Demo mode is designed as to help you evaluate and learn the product. Since it
performs no operations on the Passport 4400, it is ideal for learning and
experimenti ng.
How to Use It
You can start Demo mode from the Install Tool folder on t he desktop (or from the
Wizards menu). When you start the demo, the Install Tool Startup Definition
screen opens with the text string “demo” in the IP Address field. Click on
IP Connect to start the demo.

Chapter 9
Accessing Remote Passport 4400s
This chapter provides basic instructions for using Install Tool to access remote
Passport 4400s in an IP network.
Topics in this chapter:
•Purpose
•IP Address R equirements
•Which Remote Nodes Are Reachable?
•Workstation Default Gateway
•Connecting To a Remote Passport 4400
89
Purpose
You can use your local connection (between your workstation and a
Passport 4400) to access remote Passport 4400s in your network. This enables you
to configure and monitor remote units.
IP Address Requirements
To use Install Tool to access remote Passport 4400s:
•Your local Passport 4400 (the unit with which you are presently connect ed)
must be configured with appropriate I P addresses. The IP address
requirements depend upon the mode (bridging or routing) for whic h this
Passport 4400 is configured.
•The remote Passport 4400 must be configured with appropri at e IP addresses,
such that it is accessible across the IP network.
Using Passport 4400 Install Tool Version 4.2
90
For more information, ref er to “Br idging and Routing Modes” on page 114.
Which Remote Nodes Are Reachable?
The routing mode of your local Passport 4400 determines which nodes you can
reach in your network:
If the routing mode is: Then you can access:
BridgingPassport 4400s that are in the same seg ment as the unit t o
which you are presently connected.
RoutingPassport 4400s that are in the same seg ment as the unit t o
which you are presently connected, as wel l as
Passport 4400s in other network segment s.
You can use the Ping utility to quic kly determine whether you can reac h a specif ic
node in the network. (Select Ping from the Install Tool System menu.)
Workstation Default Gateway
The Default Gateway option that you have set for your Windows Dial-Up
Networking connection also impacts your ability to access remote nodes.
Setting the Default Gateway Option
If you are using your workstation to manage remote Passport 4400s, it is
recommended that you select the Use d efault gateway on remote network
option in the TCP/IP settings for your Windows Dial-Up Networking connection.
206906-D Rev 00 4.2
For examp le:
91
When the Use default gateway on remote network box is checked, Windows
routes all IP packets through the default gateway, which in this case is the
Passport 4400 PPP connection. This al lows you to reach any Passpor t 4400 in the
IP network.
Defining a Route
If you are using PPP to connect your workstation to your local Passp ort 4400, and
you did not select the Use default gateway on remote network option in the your
Windows Dial-Up Networking connection, you may need to define a route for
accessing rem ote Passport 4400s.
Procedure
1Ping any remote node in your Passport network to determine whether or not
you need to add a specific route to access the Passport network.
2If the Ping operation is successful, you do not need to define a route.
However , if the Ping operation fails, continue with step 3.
3Start a DOS session, and at the DOS prompt, enter thi s command:
ROUTE ADD <IP Network> MASK <Net Mask> <Local IP Address>
Using Passport 4400 Install Tool Version 4.2
92
Where:
<IP Network> is the IP address of the network that you need to access
through the Passport 4400 to which you are presently connected. For
example, 192.168.1.0.
<Net Mask> is the network mask for this IP Network address. For
example, 255.255.255.0 is the network mask for IP Network address
192.168.1.0.
<Local IP Address> is either the internal IP address assigned to the PPP
stack in the Passport 4400 (when the unit is in ro uting mode); or it is the
bridging IP address (when the unit is in bridging mode). In either case, it
is the Gateway Address used to route pack ets from the PPP stack to other
nodes in the network.
4If you are running Windows NT, you may enter an optional paramete r that
allows the new route to be persistent through dial-up connections and PC
reboots. To do this, include the "-p" switch, as shown in this exa mple:
5To verify that the command has taken effect, try pinging the new route you
entered (or use the "route print" DOS command).
For More Information
Refer to “Connecting a Workstation” on page 27 for a description of the physical
connections between the Passport 4400 and a workstation.
Connecting To a Remote Passport 4400
To use Install Tool to establish an IP connection with a remote Passport 4400,
follow these steps:
1Select Connect from the File menu.
