Introduction to the TNE1544 and TNE1584

Paradyne’s TNE1544 and TNE1584 are loop bonding network extenders for Paradyne’s 12000 and 4000 IP Broadband Access Concentrators that provide up to 6 Mbps (TNE1544) or 12 Mbps (TNE1584) of symmetrical bandwidth using T1 lines.

The TNE1544 features four T1 ports, and the TNE1584 eight T1 ports, each capable of up to 1.5 Mbps bandwidth. When used with any Paradyne loop bonding compatible product, one to eight ports may be used to deliver high-speed bandwidth at any given distance. Paradyne’s loop bonded technology provides automatic load balancing and fail-over for optimum redundancy and data throughput. In addition the TNE1544 and TNE1584 support repeaters installed on the T1 loop, ensuring maximum distance and flexibility.

The TNE1544 and TNE1584 can be connected to any combination of T1 uplink interface modules, micro interface modules, and network extenders, so long as every connection pairs a provider and a subscriber unit.

Provider and Subscriber Defaults

The following table highlights the differences between provider and subscriber units.

Unpack and Inspect the network extender. If there is any visible damage, do not attempt to connect the device. Contact your sales or service provider.

Powering Up the Network Extender

The DC power terminal block on the network extender has five terminals: two positive, two negative, and one ground. Only one positive terminal and one negative terminal pair need be connected for operational purposes. The second positive and negative terminal pair may be connected to a backup DC power supply for redundancy. The ground terminal must be connected regardlessly. DO NOT OPERATE THE NETWORK EXTENDER WITHOUT A GROUND CONNECTION.

Procedure

1. Loosen all screws at the top of the power terminal strip.

2. Insert your ground wire in the center terminal and tighten the screw.

3. Insert your positive and negative leads into the left or right + and – pair of terminals,

taking care to match polarity. Tighten the screws for those terminals.

Connecting the T1 Lines

The primary feature of the network extender is loop bonding capability, although both the provider and subscriber units are able to function with a single T1 connection.

Loop Bonded Connection

Using multiple T1 lines for one network connection (loop bonding) multiplies the speed and data passing capability of the network extender. Multiple T1 lines also act as a backup should any of the lines become disabled.

A network extender can only establish loop bonded connections with other Paradyne equipment with the loop bonding feature. See Product to Product T1 Loop Bonding Compatibility (document number COMP-A2-GK43).

Procedure

1. Plug the T1 cables into the T1 Connections RJ45 ports on the back of the network extender. The order of connection is not important.

2. Verify all connections: the T1 Connections Lnk/Alm LEDs on the front of the network extender will pulse green to indicate the connections are established and operational.

Page 7

Single T1 Connection

A single line connection can be established between a subscriber unit and any Paradyne T1 provider unit, regardless of loop bonding capability. Likewise, a single line connection can also be established between a provider unit and any of Paradyne’s T1 subscriber units, regardless of loop bonding capability.

Procedure

1. Plug the T1 cable into any of the T1 RJ45 ports on the back of the network extender.

2. Verify the connection: the related T1 Connections Lnk/Alm LED on the front of the network extender corresponding to the connected port will pulse green to indicate the connection is established and operational.

Connecting the Ethernet Lines

The 10/100BaseT Ethernet ports can auto-negotiate speed and duplex mode in accordance with the remote equipment to which it is connected, or Ethernet speed and duplex mode configurations can be configured using NMS. (See Web Interface on page 10.) For the best connection results, the remote devices (PCs, hubs, or switches) should be set to auto-negotiate speed and duplex mode.

Procedure

1. Plug the Ethernet cable into one of the 10/100 Ethernet ports on the back of the network extender. A straight-through cable can be used for all applications.

2. Verify the connection: solid green illumination of the corresponding 10/100 Ethernet Connection Lnk/Act (Link/Activity) LED on the front of the network extender indicates a connection has been established. If the Ethernet Lnk/Act LED is illuminated but not the Ethernet 100 LED, then a 10 Mbps connection has been established. If the Ethernet Lnk/Act and 100 LEDs are both illuminated, then a 100 Mbps connection has been established.

Web Interface

The network extender’s integral Network Management System (NMS) lets you configure and monitor the network extender using a standard web browser.

To manage a Provider unit using NMS, connect your PC to any Ethernet port of the Provider unit.

By default, the Subscriber unit can be managed by NMS through an active T1 line from the Provider side of the network. To enable inband management and configure an IP address, you must use the Command Line Interface. (See Command Line Interface on page 12.) After that is done, the Subscriber unit can be managed through its Ethernet ports.

Web Interface System Requirements

 Web Browser – Required for running NMS. Compatible web browsers include, but

are not limited to, Microsoft Internet Explorer (v4.0 or higher) and Netscape Navigator (v4.0 or higher). NMS is optimized for use with Internet Explorer.

Use your browser's default settings when running NMS. JavaScript must be enabled.

 Screen Resolution – 1024 x 768 pixels is the minimum resolution required for all

NMS views to fit within the dimensions of most monitors and laptops. Lower screen resolutions (such as 800 x 600 pixels) may cause NMS screens to exceed the width or height of the screen. To verify screen resolution on a Windows system:

— Right click on your desktop

— Select Properties

— Click the Settings tab

— Adjust the Screen Resolution as needed

Configuring Your Windows PC to Communicate with NMS

To communicate with NMS, your PC’s Ethernet interface must be on the same subnet as the network extender. For example, to configure the IP address under Windows XP:

Procedure

1. In the Windows task bar, click on the Start button, and then click on Control Panel.

2. Double-click on the Network Connections icon.

3. In the LAN or High-Speed Internet window, right-click on the icon corresponding to

your network interface card (NIC) and select Properties. (Often this icon is labeled Local Area Connection.) The Local Area Connection dialog box is displayed with a list of currently installed network items.

4. Ensure that the check box to the left of the item labeled Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) is checked, and click on Properties.

Page 11

5. Write down the current IP Address and Subnet Mask in the Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) Properties dialog box. When you are done using NMS, you will need to reconfigure your PC with these values.

6. In the Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) Properties dialog box, click in the radio button labeled “Use the following IP address” and type 192.168.254.x (where x is any number between 3 and 250, inclusive) in the IP Address field.

7. Type 255.255.255.0 in the Subnet Mask field.

8. Click on OK twice to confirm your changes, and close the Control Panel.

9. Start your web browser. Type 192.168.254.252 (for a provider unit) or

192.168.254.251 (for a subscriber unit) into the Address field and press Enter. The web server opening screen appears.

Command Line Interface

The network extender can be managed with a Command Line Interface (CLI) through either a direct PC to DSLAM COM (Communication) Port connection or from a remote network connection via Telnet.

CLI System Requirements

 Straight-Through RJ45 to RJ45 Ethernet Cable – Required for establishing a

direct connection from the COM port to a DB9 adapter.

 DB9 Female to RJ45 Male Adapter – Required for conversion of your PC’s RS232

serial port for use with the RJ45 to RJ45 Ethernet cable.

 Terminal Emulation Program – Required for running the CLI over a direct

connection. The program must emulate a VT100 terminal.

 Telnet Client – Required for remote management with the CLI. Microsoft Windows

Operating Systems (98, 2000, NT and XP) include a Telnet client which is run using the Windows command prompt (cmd.exe). If you are using an operating system other than Windows, you may need to install a Telnet client.

 Trivial File Transfer Protocol (TFTP) Client – Required for downloading firmware

updates and for saving configurations to local files for backup.

Page 13

Connecting a PC Directly

Initial configuration using the CLI requires a direct physical connection from your PC to the COM port of the DSLAM, management card, or Network Extender you are configuring. (However, the web interface is recommended for subsequent configuration.)

Procedure

1. Plug a DB9 to RJ45 adapter into the RS232 serial port on your PC. See DB9 to

RJ45 Adapter Pinouts on page 15.

2. Connect one end of a straight-through RJ45 to RJ45 Ethernet cable into the adapter plugged into your PC, and the other end of the cable into the COM port on the face of the network extender.

Launching the Terminal Emulation Program

Launch the terminal emulation program on your PC and configure the program settings. Actual configurations will depend upon the program being used, though settings should be modeled after the list below; most are standard defaults. Refer to your terminal emulation program’s user manual for further information.

Baud: 9600 Port: Com 1 Data Bits: 8 Stop Bits: 1 Flow Control: Software or XON/XOFF Transmit Delay: n/a Parity: none

Logging Into the CLI

Once your terminal emulation program has been launched, device information is displayed, followed by a request for username and password. You must log in as a superuser in order to make configuration changes.

Username: superuser Password: Password

After you have logged in, enter a question mark (?) to list the available commands.

Using the CLI to Establish Inband Management

CLI Set commands are used to establish inband management. For example:

set slot 1 ip_address 137.182.10.251 set slot 1 subnet_mask 255.255.255.0 set slot 1 default_gateway 137.182.10.10 set slot 1 inband_management on

The Subscriber unit in this example can now be managed with NMS by attaching a PC to one of the network extender’s Ethernet ports and opening the address

137.182.10.251 in a web browser.
