IpLink Model 2884 Overview

The Model 2884 Series T1/E1 Channelized Gigabit Routers (figure 1) are a family of multi-media routers that terminate up to 124 PPP channels as well as perform Layer 2 bonding of T1/E1 WAN ports with multi-link PPP. Dual Gigabit Ethernet ports ensure connection to any LAN infrastructure.
The IPLink™ Channelized Gigabit Routers offer pre-set priorities for voice and video traffic on a per port basis up to a user configurable bandwidth. QoS configurations ease the bandwidth management of ports and applications through the creation of QoS classes and profiles. Traffic can be shaped and policed to provide full QoS control over both the egress and ingress directions. ToS/DiffServ bits can be re-striped to ensure network­wide QoS enforcement. VLAN priority bits can be used for QoS enforcement.
Stateful Firewall inspection of traffic is accomplished through the creation of Access Control Lists (ACLs) that enable the filtering of traffic based on numerous criteria including source and destination IP address, port and protocol.
Logical and physical ports are selectable for bridging or routing. Advanced IP features such NAT/NAPT and VLANs are likewise configurable on a per port basis. By supporting the latest version of PPP/BCP, the IPLink transparently negotiates the passing of VLAN traffic over PPP based WAN links. Bridged traffic can be tagged and prioritized according to user defined parameters.
The 2884 Model Series boasts easy installation, offering CLI configuration via Console/VT-100 or Tel­net/SSH, and HTTP web based management, and SNMP. Patton's series of high-speed access routers offer the versatility and reliability demanded for business-class applications at the most affordable price..

IpLink Model 2888 Overview

The Model 2888 Four-Port T1/E1 Multi-Megabit Inverse Multiplexer (figure 2) provides point-to-point high­bandwidth Ethernet/IP connectivity over TDM-based T1/E1 circuits. Dual 10/100/1000 Ethernet ports ensure easy connection to any LAN infrastructure.
In order to maximize the bandwidth utilization over the T1/E1 links, the Multi-Megabit Inverse Mux uses Multi-Link PPP to bond the individual circuits into one high bandwidth WAN link. Ethernet/IP traffic is transparently bridged over the link using PPP/BCP which adds minimal encapsulation overhead when com­pared to ATM.
Key features make the Multi-Megabit Inverse Mux an ideal solution for VLAN trunk extension. The Inverse Mux supports IEEE 802.1p/Q VLAN tagging and priority. VLAN tagged traffic that is received on any of the Gigabit Ethernet interfaces is transparently transported over the WAN to the matching Inverse Mux on the other side. The VLAN priority bits are inspected and the QoS of the individual Ethernet frames are preserved end-to-end. The Multi-Megabit Inverse Mux likewise supports VLAN tagging of Ethernet traffic.
ACLs allow Layer 3 filtering and Layer 3 based QoS of the VLAN and bridge connections. Filter by IP address, IP port or even protocol. Use the ACL to force an inspection of the ToS/DiffServ bits and preserve end-to-end QoS.
The 2888 Model Series boasts easy installation, offering CLI configuration via Console/VT-100 or Tel­net/SSH, HTTP web based management, and SNMP. Patton's series of high-speed access routers offer the ver­satility and reliability demanded for business-class applications at the most affordable price..

2. Configuring the desired IP address

Factory-default IP settings

The factory default configuration for the Ethernet interface IP addresses and network masks are listed in table 6. Both Ethernet interfaces are activated upon power-up.
Table 6. Factory default IP address and network mask configuration
IP Address Network Mask
LAN interface Ethernet 0 (ETH 0) 192.168.200.10 255.255.255.0 LAN interface Ethernet 1 (ETH 1) 192.168.1.1 255.255.255.0
If these addresses match with those of your network, go to section “3. Connecting the IpLink to the network” on page 32. Otherwise, refer to the following sections to change the addresses and network masks.

2. Configuring the desired IP address 31

Page 32
IpLink 2884/2888 Getting Started Guide 4 • Initial configuration

Login

To access the IpLink, start the Telnet application. Type the default IP address for the router into the address field: 192.168.200.10. Accessing your IpLink via a Telnet session displays the login screen. Type the factory default login: admin and password: <blank>.
login: admin password: Trinity#

Changing the IP address

You can set your IP address and network mask for the interface ETH 0 (LAN). Within this example a network
192.168.1.1/24 address is assumed. The IP address in this example is set to 192.168.1.1 (you should set this the IP address given to you by your network provider).
Trinity# configure Trinity[config]# interface ethernet eth0 Trinity[eth-eth0]# no ip address 192.168.200.10 Trinity[eth-eth0]# ip address 192.168.1.1 netmask 255.255.255.0
Copy this modified configuration to your new start-up configuration. This will store your changes in non-vol­atile memory. Upon the next start-up the system will initialize itself using the modified configuration.
Trinity#copy running-config startup-config Trinity#
The IpLink can now be connected to your network.

3. Connecting the IpLink to the network

In general, the IpLink will connect to the network via the LAN (ETH 0) port. This enables the IpLink to offer routing services to the PC hosts on LAN (ETH 1) port. The IpLink 2884/2888 Series is equipped with Auto­MDX Ethernet ports, so you can use straight-through or crossover cables for host or hub/switch connections.
The interconnecting cables shall be acceptable for external use and shall be rated for the proper application with respect to volt­age, current, anticipated temperature, flammability, and
CAUTION
You can check the connection with the ping command from the IpLink to another host on the network.

The IpLink router generates and uses radio frequency energy, and if not installed and used properly-that is, in strict accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions-may cause interference to radio and television reception. The IpLink router have been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A computing device in accordance with specifications in Subpart B of Part 15 of FCC rules, which are designed to provide reasonable protection from such interference in a commercial installation. However, there is no guarantee that interfer­ence will not occur in a particular installation. If the IpLink router does cause interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by disconnecting the unit, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures: moving the computing equipment away from the receiver, re-orienting the receiving antenna and/or plugging the receiving equipment into a different AC outlet (such that the computing equipment and receiver are on different branches).

E1 Port

The E1 Port is usually connected to a PBX or switch—local exchange (LE). Type and pin outs of these devices vary depending on the manufacturer. In most cases, a straight-through RJ-45 to RJ-45 can be used to connect the T1/E1 Port with a PBX. A cross-over cable is required to connect to an NT device, as illustrated in
figure 14 on page 45.
Hazardous network voltages are present in the T1/E1 cables. If you detach the cable, detach the end away from the IpLink or interface card first to avoid pos­sible electric shock. Network hazardous voltages may be present on the device
