iMarc DSL 9783 Router Overview

The iMarc™ DSL (Digital Subscriber Line) 9783 Router is a component in the iMarc
system. This system allows you to perform end-to-end service level management (SLM)
across a hybrid iMarc DSL/ATM/Frame Relay network. Service providers can isolate
and correct problems remotely from their NOC (Network Operations Center).

The router has an SDSL front end and is a manageable frame relay aware endpoint. It
operates as a bridge or an IP router that connects a DSL link to an Ethernet network.

The iMarc DSL 9783 Router is used for data only and provides corporate LAN access
over traditional twisted-pair copper telephone wiring. Copper pairs run from the central
office (CO) to the customer premises (CP) to create the local loop. The local loop
terminates on the customer premises at the demarcation point in a punchdown block or
network interface device (NID). A typical example of using the iMarc DSL 9783 Router in
a network configuration is shown below.

The iMarc DSL 9783 CSU/DSU is available in two feature sets:

 Basic diagnostic feature set provides basic frame relay and diagnostic capability.

 Service Level Management (SLM) provides basic features, plus reporting and

monitoring.

Refer to the iMarc SLV Technical Description for a list of iMarc DSL features, and the
capabilities provided by each feature set.

Upgrading a Unit to the SLM Feature Set

Full Service Level Management (SLM) capability can be activated in units that have the
basic diagnostic feature set at any time. This is an optional feature that adds real-time
and historical network performance monitoring and SLA (Service Level Agreement)
reporting capabilities to your iMarc unit and network. To activate SLM, order a Feature
Activation Certificate. You can order the certificate for a single unit or for many units.

OpenLane SLM Release 5.3 or above is required to schedule activation of SLM features
in units, and to manage the number of activations remaining on the certificate.
OpenLane also provides a Certificate Summary Report to assist you in the management
of the certificate.

When the Feature Activation Certificate arrives, add the Activation Certificate Number to
your OpenLane SLM application’s database. Activations can occur at any time, for as
many units as desired, until no activations remain for the certificate.

Contact your sales representative for additional information.

Prior to Installing the Router

These Installation Instructions assume that the virtual circuits at the DSLAM have
already been configured. Provisioning of these circuits can be simplified by using the
OpenLane SLM (Service Level Management) system, as indicated in Provisioning Data

Circuits in OpenLane.

Provisioning Data Circuits in OpenLane

Use the OpenLane SLM system’s Provision Circuit screen to add new circuits that start
at the iMarc DSL endpoint and traverse the SCM and ATM line card in the Hotwire
GranDSLAM, and the default VC sets (from 1 to 4). A group of 250 VCs can be allocated
to each line card, which can be assigned to any port on the card. These custom
connections carry the frame relay traffic.

 Note that before the custom cross-connects are configured, the Maximum VCI

number for the uplink VP to be used by these custom connections must be
specified on the Max VCI per VPI screen, and the apply changes executed.

 For ATM line cards, custom connections can be used to expand the number of VCs

connected to the card. Each of the 250 VCs can be cross-connected from any VC
on the uplink to any port on the line card.

The following information is collected by the Provision Circuit process:

 Uplink VPI/VCI

 Slot number and Port number of the DSL connection

 Traffic Profile

 DSL link VPI/VCI

 Frame relay DLCI (provided by NSP)

 Frame relay CIR, B

A Circuit ID is then applied to the newly defined circuit, and stored in both the router and
the OpenLane SLM system.

Installing the Router

Place the iMarc DSL 9783 Router on a flat surface, with clearance for the rear
connectors.

Procedure

1. Use the supplied 8-pin DSL network cable (for use in the U.S.), or a 6-pin DSL

network cable (using connectors similar to RJ11), as applicable, for the DSL
connection. Insert one end of the cable into the jack labeled NET on the router.
Insert the other end into the wall jack for DSL data communications.

For domestic models, go to Step 3 on page 8.

2. For certain international models, a ferrite

choke has been provided. Place the ferrite
choke on the network cable, as close as
possible to the rear panel.

Close the two halves around the cable
and snap the latch shut.

3. Use an 8-pin Ethernet cable for the Ethernet connection. Insert one end of the cable

into the jack labeled ETHERNET.

— Use a straight-through cable to connect the other end of the cable to an

Ethernet hub. Do not connect to the hub’s optional Uplink connection with a
straight-through cable; the Uplink connection requires an Ethernet crossover
cable.

4. Use a VT100-compatible asynchronous terminal or PC to set up management

access to the unit. Insert the DB25 end of the EIA-232 cable into the router’s COM
port. Tighten the screws on each side of the connector. Insert the other end into the
terminal or PC.

The terminal or PC’s configuration must be compatible with the router’s. Refer to
the procedure on page 13 of Configuration Setup. If connecting an external modem
to the COM port, use a standard crossover cable.
