IPLink Series High Speed Routers overview
The IPLink Series of gateway routers/bridges combine full set of high-speed IP routing features and WAN
access via PPP/IP/FR protocols. All IPLink routers come with an auto-sensing full-duplex 10/100Base-T
Ethernet port, MDI-X cross-over switch, console port, and internal or external power supply. There are three
versions in the IPLink series corresponding to a choice of WAN interface:
• The Model 2603 is equipped with an integrated T1/E1 CSU/DSU for connection to full and fractional T1/
E1 services.
• The Model 2621 is equipped with DTE/DCE user configurable X.21 interface.
• The Model 2635 equipped with a V.35 interface presented on a female DB-25 connector and a cable to
convert to an M34/F.
The IPLink routers provide selectable bridging or routing functionality along with advanced IP features such as
NAT/NAPT, Firewall, and DHCP. A complete set of configurable PPP/IP/FR WAN protocols allow a wide
range of choices when connecting branches via common WAN services. The IPLink routers boast easy installation offering Console/VT-100, Telnet, HTTP, and SNMP management options.

AC universal power supply.
The IPLink Series router offers internal or external AC power supply options.
• The internal power supply connects to an AC source via an IEC-320 connector (100–240 VAC, 200 mA,
50/60 Hz)
• The external power supply connects to an external source providing +5 VDC via a barrel-type connector
48 VDC power supply.
• The DC power supply connects to a DC source via a terminal block
• Rated voltage and current: 36–60 VDC, 400 mA
Connect the equipment to a 36–60 VDC source that is electrically isolated from the AC source. The 36–60 VDC source is to
be reliably connected to earth.

The MDI-X push switch operates as follows:
• When in the default “out” position, the Ethernet circuitry takes on a straight-through MDI configuration
and functions as a transceiver. It will connect directly to a hub.
• When in the “in” position, the Ethernet circuitry is configured in cross-over MDI-X mode so that a
straight-through cable can connect The IPLink Series router’s Ethernet port directly to a PC’s NIC card.

Introduction
The IPLink Series Router operates as a bridge or a router and has two ports for communication:
• The Ethernet port—Connects to the LAN side of the connection
• The Serial port—Connects to local DTE devices (Model 2621 and 2635)
• The T1/E1 port—Connects directly to T1/E1 lines (Model 2603)
The router provides all layer 2 and layer 3 protocols required for end-to-end-link communication.
When configuring the IPLink router, questions must be answered so the IPLink router functions as desired.
For example, when a router or bridge module needs to be activated, some questions would be:
• Is a default gateway required?
• Which encapsulation technique is best for this application: Frame Relay, PPP, or another?
These decisions can be made and implemented more easily if The IPLink Series router’s fundamental architecture
is understood. Also, while configuring The IPLink Series router via a browser using the built-in HTTP server is
very intuitive, an understanding of the architecture is essential when using the command-line interface (CLI)
commands.
The fundamental building blocks comprise a router or bridge, interfaces, and transports. the router and bridge
each have interfaces. A transport provides the path between an interface and an external connection. For example, the Ethernet transport attaches to an Internet Protocol (IP) interface. A transport consists of layer 2 and
everything below it. Creating a transport and attaching it to a bridge or router’s interface enables data to be
bridged or routed. The supported transports are PPPoE, Frame Relay, PPPoH, and Ethernet.
Configuring an interface and transport for the router or bridge requires naming the interface and transport before
attaching them. When using the built-in HTTP server web browser, this is done automatically. But when configuring The IPLink Series router via CLI commands through the RS-232 control port, it must be done manually.

Applications Overview
Patton’s IPLink Gateway routers deliver all the advanced features for secure, reliable, and high speed Internet
data connections. They combine ease-of-use with powerful data routing to make shared Internet connectivity
simple and easy.
With NAT support, the IPLink routers offer convenient and economical operation by using a single IP address
while the integrated DHCP server automates IP address assignment for connected LAN computers. Security is
standard with built-in firewall and violation alerting features that protect the network from would-be intruders.

Hardware installation
If you are already familiar with IPLink Series Router installation and configuration, this chapter will enable
you to finish the job quickly. Installation consists of the following:
• Preparing for the installation (see section “What you will need”)
• Installing the T1/E1 WAN, X.21, or V.35 interface cable (see section “Interface cable installation”)
• Hooking up network cables, verifying that the unit will power up, and running a HyperTerminal session
(see section “Installing the Ethernet cable” on page 36)
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
• Changing the IP address from the factory default setting (see section “IP address modification” on page 37)
• Launching a web browser in preparation for configuring the modem (see “Web Operation and Configura-
tion” on page 37)
What you will need
• IPLink Series High Speed Router
mechanical serviceability.
• Ethernet cable with RJ45 plugs on each end (included with router)
• DB9-RJ45 adapter (included with router)
• RJ45/RJ45 straight-through cable for connecting to control port (included with router)
• PC computer with HyperTerminal or equivalent VT-100 emulation program, or an ASCII terminal (also
called a dumb terminal) capable of emulating a VT-100.
Interface cable installation
An IPLink Series router comes with a T1/E1 WAN, V.35, or X.21 interface. Refer to the appropriate section to
install an interface cable on your IPLink router:
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
mechanical serviceability.

page 29)
• Model 2621 router (see “Installing an interface cable on the IPLink 2621’s X.21 interface port” on page 31)
• Model 2635 router (see “Installing an interface cable on the IPLink 2635’s V.35 interface port” on page 33)

Installing an interface cable on the IPLink 2603’s T1/E1 interface port
The IPLink Models 2603/K and 2603/T come with a selectable T1/E1 WAN interface (see figure 4). Located
on the back of the IPLink, the T1 and E1 interfaces are presented on an RJ-48C connector with selectable line
impedances of 100-ohms for T1 and 120-ohms for E1 lines (see figure 5). The 2603/K also comes with dual
BNC for alternate connection to unbalanced 75-ohm E1 lines (see figure 6 on page 30).
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
mechanical serviceability.
