Handling Energized Products

General Safety Practices

Do not touch or tamper with the power supply when the power cord is connected. Line voltages may be present inside certain products even when the power switch (if installed) is in the OFF position or a fuse is blown. For DC-powered products, although the voltages levels are usually not hazardous, energy hazards may still exist.

Before working on equipment connected to power lines or telecommunication lines, remove jewelry or any other metallic object that may come into contact with energized parts.

Unless otherwise specified, all products are intended to be grounded during normal use. Grounding is provided by connecting the mains plug to a wall socket with a protective earth terminal. If an earth lug is provided on the product, it should be connected to the protective earth at all times, by a wire with a diameter of 18 AWG or wider. Rack-mounted equipment should be mounted only in earthed racks and cabinets.

Always make the ground connection first and disconnect it last. Do not connect telecommunication cables to ungrounded equipment. Make sure that all other cables are disconnected before disconnecting the ground.

Connection of AC Mains

Make sure that the electrical installation complies with local codes.

Always connect the AC plug to a wall socket with a protective ground.

The maximum permissible current capability of the branch distribution circuit that supplies power to the product is 16A. The circuit breaker in the building installation should have high breaking capacity and must operate at short-circuit current exceeding 35A.

Always connect the power cord first to the equipment and then to the wall socket. If a power switch is provided in the equipment, set it to the OFF position. If the power cord cannot be readily disconnected in case of emergency, make sure that a readily accessible circuit breaker or emergency switch is installed in the building installation.

Connection of DC Mains

Unless otherwise specified in the manual, the DC input to the equipment is floating in reference to the ground. Any single pole can be externally grounded.

Due to the high current capability of DC mains systems, care should be taken when connecting the DC supply to avoid short-circuits and fire hazards.

DC units should be installed in a restricted access area, i.e. an area where access is authorized only to qualified service and maintenance personnel.

Make sure that the DC supply is electrically isolated from any AC source and that the installation complies with the local codes.

Before connecting the DC supply wires, ensure that power is removed form the DC circuit. Locate the circuit breaker of the panel board that services the equipment and switch it to the OFF position. When connecting the DC supply wires, first connect the ground wire to the corresponding terminal, then the positive pole and last the negative pole. Switch the circuit breaker back to the ON position.

A readily accessible disconnect device that is suitably rated and approved should be incorporated in the building installation.

Connection of Data and Telecommunications Cables

Data and telecommunication interfaces are classified according to their safety status.

The following table lists the status of several standard interfaces. If the status of a given port differs from the standard one, a notice will be given in the manual.

Ports Safety Status

V.11, V.28, V.35, V.36, RS-530, X.21, 10 BaseT, 100 BaseT, Unbalanced E1, E2, E3, STM, DS-2, DS-3, S-Interface ISDN, Analog voice

SELV Safety Extra Low Voltage:

Ports which do not present a safety hazard. Usually up to 30 VAC or 60 VDC.

E&M

xDSL (without feeding voltage), Balanced E1, T1, Sub E1/T1

TNV-1 Telecommunication Network Voltage-1:

Ports whose normal operating voltage is within the limits of SELV, on which overvoltages from telecommunications networks are possible.

FXS (Foreign Exchange Subscriber) TNV-2 Telecommunication Network Voltage-2:

Ports whose normal operating voltage exceeds the limits of SELV (usually up to 120 VDC or telephone ringing voltages), on which overvoltages from telecommunication networks are not possible. These ports are not permitted to be directly connected to external telephone and data lines.

FXO (Foreign Exchange Office), xDSL (with feeding voltage), U-Interface ISDN

TNV-3 Telecommunication Network Voltage-3:

Ports whose normal operating voltage exceeds the limits of SELV (usually up to 120 VDC or telephone ringing voltages), on which overvoltages from telecommunication networks are possible.

Always connect a given port to a port of the same safety status. If in doubt, seek the assistance of a qualified safety engineer.

Always make sure that the equipment is grounded before connecting telecommunication cables. Do not disconnect the ground connection before disconnecting all telecommunications cables.

Some SELV and non-SELV circuits use the same connectors. Use caution when connecting cables. Extra caution should be exercised during thunderstorms.

When using shielded or coaxial cables, verify that there is a good ground connection at both ends. The earthing and bonding of the ground connections should comply with the local codes.

The telecommunication wiring in the building may be damaged or present a fire hazard in case of contact between exposed external wires and the AC power lines. In order to reduce the risk, there are restrictions on the diameter of wires in the telecom cables, between the equipment and the mating connectors.

Order from: Cutter Networks

Ph:727-398-5252/Fax:727-397-9610

www.bestdatasource.com

Caution

To reduce the risk of fire, use only No. 26 AWG or larger telecommunication line cords.

ttentio

Pour réduire les risques s’incendie, utiliser seulement des conducteurs de télécommunications 26 AWG ou de section supérieure.

Some ports are suitable for connection to intra-building or non-exposed wiring or cabling only. In such cases, a notice will be given in the installation instructions.

Do not attempt to tamper with any carrier-provided equipment or connection hardware.

Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC)

The equipment is designed and approved to comply with the electromagnetic regulations of major regulatory bodies. The following instructions may enhance the performance of the equipment and will provide better protection against excessive emission and better immunity against disturbances.

A good earth connection is essential. When installing the equipment in a rack, make sure to remove all traces of paint from the mounting points. Use suitable lock-washers and torque. If an external grounding lug is provided, connect it to the earth bus using braided wire as short as possible.

The equipment is designed to comply with EMC requirements when connecting it with unshielded twisted pair (UTP) cables. However, the use of shielded wires is always recommended, especially for high-rate data. In some cases, when unshielded wires are used, ferrite cores should be installed on certain cables. In such cases, special instructions are provided in the manual.

Disconnect all wires which are not in permanent use, such as cables used for one-time configuration.

The compliance of the equipment with the regulations for conducted emission on the data lines is dependent on the cable quality. The emission is tested for UTP with 80 dB longitudinal conversion loss (LCL).

Unless otherwise specified or described in the manual, TNV-1 and TNV-3 ports provide secondary protection against surges on the data lines. Primary protectors should be provided in the building installation.

The equipment is designed to provide adequate protection against electro-static discharge (ESD). However, it is good working practice to use caution when connecting cables terminated with plastic connectors (without a grounded metal hood, such as flat cables) to sensitive data lines. Before connecting such cables, discharge yourself by touching earth ground or wear an ESD preventive wrist strap.

Troubleshooting and Diagnostics

4.1 Performing Local Analog Loopback

RIC-E1 supports activation of a V.54 diagnostic (loop 3) local loopback.

This loopback checks the communication and connection between RIC-E1 and the attached DTE, as shown in Figure 4-1. When RIC-E1 performs a local loopback, the data received from the local transmitter is both transmitted on the line and looped back to the local receiver at the digital level. This checks the operation of all local digital circuitry.

RIC-E1/R Card

This chapter describes the RIC-E1/R card version, designed for installation in the ASM-MN-214 card cage. The chapter contains the following sections:

• The ASM-MN-214 card cage

• The RIC-E1/R card version

• Power supply to RIC-E1/R card

• Installing the RIC-E1/R card.

5.1 ASM-MN-214 Card Cage

The ASM-MN-214 card cage contains one or two power supplies and up to 14 plug-in cards. The card types can be RIC-E1/R or other RAD rack version modems/converters – any combination of up to 14 plug-in cards.

For each of the 14 cards, the rear panel (see Figure 5-1) contains a male connector for the terminal block and a DB-25 connector. A protection cover protects the terminal block connectors.

Line Connector

The line is to be attached to the rear panel terminal block connectors (see Figure 5-1). It contains screws for connecting the transmit and receive pairs and ground, if present. When operating RIC-E1/R with unbalanced E1 interface, use a CIA/TB-BNC/214 adapter, which converts the terminal block connector into two coaxial BNC connectors (see Figure 5-1).

The ASM-MN-214 card cage is also available with BNC coaxial unbalanced or RJ-45 balanced line connectors.

DTE Connector

The 25-pin D-type female interface connector provides all interface signals for the digital interfaces. Units with X.21 or V.35 interface require an external mechanical adapter. Two optional interface attachments, CIA/X21/1 and CIA/V.35/1, can be ordered separately from RAD. CIA/X.21/1 converts one DB-25 connector to an X.21 15-pin connector. CIA/V.35/1 converts one DB-25 connector to a V.35 34-pin connector.

ASM-MN-214 Card Cage 5-1

V.36 converter cards are supplied with a RAD adapter cable CBL-530/449F, which converts between the DB-25 connector and a V.36 37-pin connector.

5.2 Power Supply

Power is supplied to the RIC-E1/R card from the ASM-MN-214 power supply via the chassis. Each RIC-E1/R card has two fuses (F5 and F6), which protect the entire system against power failure resulting from a short circuit in one card. The rating of the fuses is 500 mA, 250V, slowblow (see Figure 5-6).

The ASM-MN-214 card cage can accept both AC or DC power supplies. LED indicators located on the ASM-MN-214 front panel (see Figure 5-5) show activity when the power supply is connected to the mains plug. The power supply supports the full card cage with any combination of cards.

AC Supply

The AC power supply of the ASM-MN-214 is 100, 115, or 230 VAC, ±10%, 47 to 63 Hz.

DC Supply

The DC power supply is -48 VDC (-36 to -72 VDC) or 24 VDC (18 to 32 VDC). It uses a DC/DC converter module to provide the power required for the cards.

Power Supply with Redundancy

This special ordering option is equipped with two separate power supplies, operating together and sharing the load of the whole card cage. If either of the power supplies fails, the other one will continue to supply power to the full card cage.

Two LED indicators show activity of each power supply. They should both light when mains power is provided.

Note

It is possible to combine AC and DC power supplies in the same cage.

B.1 Introduction

IR-ETH is an interface module for RAD products, which is used for converting the Ethernet (10BaseT or 10Base2) electrical levels to the TTL levels. It also converts the Ethernet protocol to HDLC to enable long-distance transmission and avoid the Ethernet collision limitation.

IR-ETH includes an internal, self-learning Ethernet bridge, which enables a high performance link between two Ethernet segments at a low transmission rate. The low-speed HDLC transmission is sent over the G.703 link.

Figure B-1 shows a typical application using RIC-E1 with IR-ETH module.

C.1 Introduction

The IR-ETH/V interface module replaces the IR-ETH/QN interface module. The IR-ETH/V has improved functionality, however, it should be noted that there are now two priority queues available. IR-ETH/V includes a high performance self-learning Fast Ethernet bridge, which is connected to the LAN via a single 10BaseT or 100BaseT port, operating in full or half duplex and providing simple and cost-effective interconnection between 10/100BaseT LANs. The IR-ETH/V interface module also supports IEEE 802.1p frames and IEEE 802.1q frames, enabling VLAN applications.

The module automatically learns MAC addresses of the LAN to which it is connected. Its LAN table stores up to 2,048 addresses with 5-minute automatic aging. Filtering and forwarding is performed at wire speed.

Backpressure and Flow Control

DIP switch SW1/4 enables or disables both backpressure and flow control.

When the IR-ETH/V is set to half duplex, backpressure is active, and when the IRETH/V is set to full duplex, flow control is active.

Note

Full duplex flow control activation requires autonegotiation to be enabled.

Backpressure is the term given when the buffer is filled from the LAN faster than it is able to transmit to the WAN. In order to prevent packet loss, collisions are forced into the LAN, which causes the link partners to go into backoff before attempting to retransmit. Reducing, in effect, the traffic coming through the interface.

Flow control is active only in full duplex mode. When the buffer is filled from the LAN faster than it is able to transmit to the WAN, pause frames are sent to the LAN, ordering the LAN to stop for a time interval indicated by the pause frame until transmission starts again.

To use the flow control option, the link partners (switches etc.) should support flow control.

D.1 Introduction

IR-IP is a high-performance miniature IP router based on RAD's unique IP router chip, the ChipRouter.

IR-IP works by taking each Ethernet frame from the LAN and determining whether the IP packet is destined for the IP net on the Ethernet LAN. If not, IR-IP forwards the packet to the WAN (E1) link. IP packets received from the WAN link are automatically forwarded to the LAN if the IP net matches.

IR-IP includes hardware filters which handle all filtering operations at wire speed from both LAN-to-WAN and WAN-to-LAN, without dropping a single packet.

Filtering and forwarding are performed at the maximum rate of 35,000 and 30,000 frames per second (wire speed), respectively. The buffer can hold 256 frames of maximum size of 1534 bytes and a throughput latency of one frame.

IR-IP is available with 10BaseT (UTP) interface and is fully IEEE 802.3/Ethernet V2 compliant. The IR-IP interface can also operate in full duplex Ethernet applications.

RIC-E1 equipped with IR-IP can be used as a Frame Relay Access Device (FRAD) with an integral IP router. RFC 1490 is supported for a single DLCI on the E1 link. Detection of the DLCI and the maintenance protocol is performed automatically. This allows the IR-IP to be used as the termination unit of IP services over Frame Relay at the customer premises, opposite a Frame Relay switch in the backbone.

Alternatively, Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP) can be run on the WAN link with automatic negotiation on power-up, as well as support for PAP and CHAP authentication. With this feature, the IR-IP can operate opposite any PPP compliant access server or backbone router.

IR-IP supports HDLC, which is especially important for broadcast and multicast applications where bandwidth overhead is critical.

D-2 Introduction

IR-IP supports IP multicast at wire speed, making it suitable for any multicast environment including high speed downstream environments, such as satellite and

xDSL. Users on the LAN who register with the IR-IP for an IP multicast group using the IGsMP protocol filter IP multicast packets at wire-speed.

Management and advanced configuration of the IR-IP module are performed via Telnet.

 Resetting of various subsystems

 Display of error log

 Ping utility, for checking IP connectivity.

The management subsystem of the IR-IP interface module is a separate, independent entity. The communication with the IR-IP management subsystem is made through the local LAN interface connector of the IR-IP module, designated 10BASE-T, using the Telnet protocol. Passwords can be used to prevent unauthorized access.

Accessing the IR-IP Management Subsystem

The IR-IP interface module must be configured in accordance with the specific requirements of the user’s application before it can be used in the user’s network. As a result, it is not possible to supply default parameters to enable IR-IP to start service without any preliminary configuration.

Therefore, to enable the user to establish Telnet communication and configure IR-IP, IR-IP is delivered with a factory-default set of parameters. The default parameters are automatically used:

• Before IR-IP is configured by the user, e.g., when a new RIC-E1 with IR-IP interface module is put into operation

• After the user’s configuration parameters have been erased.

When the factory-default parameters are used, the ERR indicator located on the RIC-E1 rear panel, near the IR-IP Ethernet interface connector flashes rapidly (about three times per second). The flashing of the ERR indicator also serves as a warning to the user that the IR-IP WAN (E1) interface does not send, nor does it receive packets, and therefore IR-IP can be accessed only from the LAN.

After configuring IR-IP, it starts normal operation and routes the traffic in accordance with the user-selected configuration parameters.

To change the parameters of an already-configured IR-IP, establish communication from a Telnet host using the assigned IP address.

Default IP Communication Parameters

The factory-default IP communication parameters of the interface module are:

• The default IP address of the IR-IP Ethernet port is 192.168.205.1, and the default IP subnet mask is 255.255.255.252.

• The port will accept IP communication only from the IP address

192.168.205.2. Therefore, as long as the factory defaults are in effect, you must assign this address to the Telnet host used to configure IR-IP.

IR-IP Management Subsystem, General D-7

Using the IP learning mechanism, as explained below you can change the default parameters.

Rescue Configuration

In case you have forgotten the IP address or the Telnet password, you will generally not be able to view or modify the IR-IP configuration. The Rescue feature allows you to overcome this problem.



To allow the IR-IP configuration:

1. Remove RIC-E1/R from the chassis.

2. Set section 6 of the DIP switch to ON.

3. Insert RIC-E1/R back into the chassis.

As soon as RIC-E1/R is powered on, it will respond to the default IP address and permit entering configuration screens without password protection. All the other configuration parameters remain unchanged.

4. After setting the parameters to desired values, remove RIC-E1/R from the chassis and restore section 6 of the DIP switch to OFF.

D.5 Performing Preliminary Configuration

The software necessary for performing all the management and configuration functions is stored in the IR-IP interface module, and therefore you only need a regular Telnet host to perform all the activities described in this appendix.

A Telnet host is any computer, e.g., an IBM PC or compatible that fulfills the following minimum requirements:

• A standard 10BaseT Ethernet interface

• A TCP/IP protocol stack, and therefore is capable of supporting IP

communication through the Ethernet interface

• Telnet client software

• A ping utility.

Outline of Preliminary Configuration



To perform the preliminary configuration procedure:

1. Connect the Telnet host to the IR-IP interface module.

2. Configure the Telnet host to enable communication with the IR-IP interface module using the default IP parameters.

3. Establish communication with IR-IP and assign the prescribed IP address to its LAN interface.

D-8 Performing Preliminary Configuration

4. Establish again communication with IR-IP and continue the preliminary configuration in accordance with the Quick Setup Menu section below.

www.bestdatasource.com

Connecting the Telnet Host

Before starting the management and configuration activities, it is necessary to establish IP communication between your Telnet host and the IR-IP interface module. For this purpose, it is necessary to provide a communication path.

Because of the method used to assign an IP address to IR-IP Ethernet port, it is recommended to connect the Telnet host directly to the IP router 10BASE-T connector. This is made by connecting an Ethernet cross cable between the Ethernet connector of the Telnet host and the IP router connector.

However, you may also connect through a common LAN: in this case, connect your Telnet host and IR-IP to Ethernet hub ports using straight cables.

Preliminary Telnet Host Configuration

You can use the IP learning mechanism to configure the IP communication parameters of the IR-IP LAN interface. In this case, skip to the Assigning the Router

LAN Interface Address section below.

If you prefer to use the factory-default parameters to establish IP communication between your Telnet host and IR-IP, configure the Telnet host as follows:

1. Temporarily configure the host IP address as 192.168.205.2.

2. The initial destination IP address to be used by the host is 192.168.205.1.

Note

The first step in the preliminary configuration process is to assign the desired IP address to the LAN interface of the IR-IP interface module. After an IP address is assigned and saved, you must change the destination IP

address of the Telnet host to the new address, otherwise it is not possible to continue the configuration process. At the same time, you can also change the temporary IP address assigned to the host (192.168.205.2) back to its permanent address.

Assigning the Router LAN Interface Address

The IP address of the IR-IP LAN interface must be configured as part of the preliminary configuration process. To simplify this process, IR-IP includes a simple and convenient IP address learning mechanism.

The IP address can be configured and changed at any time, even after the complete IR-IP configuration process has been performed, because it does not affect other configuration parameters. Moreover, the IP subnet mask is automatically adapted to the new IP address.

IP Learning Mechanism

To simplify the configuration process, IR-IP has a special mechanism for configuring the IP address of its LAN interface. Setting section 1, called IP address learning, of the IR-IP DIP switch (Figure D-4) to ON enables this mechanism. For RIC-E1/R the IP learning procedure is performed by pressing the IP LEARN pushbutton on the card panel.

Note

Performing Preliminary Configuration D-9

The IP learning mechanism enables IR-IP to learn its LAN interface IP address by receiving frames sent by a ping utility to the prescribed LAN IP address.

To use the IP learning mechanism, you do not need to know the current address of IR-IP LAN interface, but only the prescribed IP address.

Appendix D IR-IP Interface Module RIC-E1 Installation and Operation Manual

Order from: Cutter Networks

Ph:727-398-5252/Fax:727-397-9610

www.bestdatasource.com

The IP address is actually retrieved from the ARP frames sent during pinging to locate the ping destination, not from the ping frames.

To ensure that the process is correctly performed, it is recommended to check the contents of the ARP table before starting the ping utility, to make sure that it does not contain the address to be assigned to the IP router LAN interface.



To view and edit the ARP table contents:

If the Telnet host you are using runs under Microsoft Inc. Windows™ 95, 98 or NT, use the following procedure to view and edit the ARP table contents:

1. Display the table using the

arp -a command.

2. If the table includes the intended IP address, remove it from the table using the

arp -d command.

If for some reason the IP learning process does not succeed, before repeating it make sure to remove the IP address from the table.

Assigning a LAN IP Address to a New IR-IP

The following procedure enables you to configure the LAN IP address of a new IR-IP router, i.e., a router using the default parameters (see the Accessing the IR-IP

Management Subsystem section above).

If RIC-E1 is already operating, skip Step 2 in the following procedure.



To configure the IP router LAN address:

1. Make sure the preparations described above have been completed, including the configuration of the ping utility.

2. Turn RIC-E1 on and monitor the IP router indicators:

 The INT (LINK for RIC-E1/R) indicator turns on

 The ERR indicator lights steadily for approx. 15 seconds, and then starts

flashing at a rapid rate (about three times per second).

If the ERR indicator turns off, skip to the What to Do If ... section below.

3. Set section 1 of IR-IP DIP switch to ON or push the IP LEARN pushbutton on the RIC-E1/R panel.

The ERR indicator starts flashing faster (approximately four times a second).

4. Send a ping to the new address to be used by IR-IP. A confirmation should be received after the third ping: after the confirmation, the flashing will slow down to approximately twice a second.

If your host does not begin to receive ping replies after three unsuccessful attempts, skip to the What to Do If ... section below.

5. Return section 1 of the IR-IP DIP switch to the OFF position or push IP LEARN again to return the button to its initial position.

The ERR indicator must turn off.

At this stage, the communication with IR-IP router is lost, because its IP address has been changed. Therefore, you must reconfigure the destination IP address of the Telnet host. If you wish, you may also change the temporary IP address assigned to the host (192.168.205.2) back to its permanent address.

www.bestdatasource.com

After changing the destination IP address of the Telnet host, it is recommended to turn RIC-E1 off for a few seconds and then back on, before continuing the configuration of the IP router in accordance with the Quick Setup Menu section below. At this time, in Step 2 the ERR indicator turns off after the 15-second interval.

Changing the LAN IP Address of a Configured IR-IP

The LAN IP address of an already-configured IR-IP can be changed while it operates, this means it is not necessary to turn RIC-E1 off before starting the configuration procedure. Note however that the IP traffic flow through IR-IP will be disrupted until the other stations in the IP network learn the new address.

To change the LAN IP address of an already-configured IR-IP, use the procedure described above for a new IR-IP with the following differences:

1. Configure the destination address of the ping utility to the new LAN interface IP address. It is not necessary to change the Telnet host source address.

2. When ready, set section 1 of the IR-IP DIP switch to ON or push the IP LEARN pushbutton on the RIC-E1/R panel.

The ERR indicator starts flashing faster (approximately four times a second).

3. Perform Steps 4, 5 of the procedure used for a new IR-IP.

What to Do If ...

D.6 IR-IP Management Utility

General Operating Procedures

The IR-IP interface module is managed via a simple, menu-driven utility that uses a basic terminal user interface. A typical screen is shown in Figure D-6.

As seen in Figure D-6, each screen has a header that identifies the device being configured and its logical name, assigned by the user, followed by the running software revision and date. The bottom line of the screen displays prompts that guide you in the execution of the various activities.

Use the following general procedures to perform the desired activity:

• To change a parameter or to select a menu item, type the corresponding line number.

• For a parameter, which has a discrete set of values, the parameter values are enclosed in brackets [ ]. To select a new value, press the spacebar to scroll among the available values until the desired value is displayed, and then press <Enter> to select the displayed value.

• To enter a value that requires free text entry, type in the desired string and then press <Enter>. Use backspace to erase the current string.

• After all the parameters have been selected, a prompt appears, requesting that you confirm the changes.

Note

For proper display of the screens, you must:

• Select a fixed-pitch system font for the display. Use your operating system documentation to find how to select a proper font.

• Configure the Telnet utility to use VT-100 terminal emulation.

Starting a Management Utility

The management utility is started automatically when Telnet communication is established. If password protection is enabled (see the Management Access Menu section below), you will be prompted to enter the Telnet password. The opening screen, which appears after the Telnet session activation, is the IR-IP Main menu (see Figure D-6).

LAN IP Address

Used to enter the IP address for the IP router LAN interface. This is the address to which nodes connected to the local LAN send packets addressed to the WAN.

LAN IP Mask

Used to enter the IP subnet mask. The IP router supports a maximum of 254 hosts on the LAN, therefore you must use Class C subnet masks. The basic subnet IP mask for Class C addresses, which supports the maximum possible number of hosts, 254, is 255.255.255.0. To help you understand the selection of IP subnet masks, Figure D-9 provides a configuration example for a LAN with 6 nodes: the IP subnet mask for a 6-node IP network is 255.255.255.248.

WAN IP Mask

Used to enter the IP subnet mask for the WAN interface.

Default Gateway

Operation without Default Gateway

The IP interface module is intended to enable the extension of LANs through the RIC-E1 E1 link. Therefore, its default routing operation is different from the default routing operation of standard IP routers:

• IR-IP forwards packets with destinations not located on the local LAN through

Operation with Default Gateway

You can instruct IR-IP to send packets with destinations not located on the local LAN to a specific router, which is called the default gateway. The default gateway must be connected to the local LAN.

To use this option, enter the IP address of another router attached to the local LAN in the Default Gateway field.

Note

It is very important to obtain the correct parameters from the system administrator or ISP. The most common problem when establishing an IP connection is incorrect configuration of IP parameters and default gateway. Do not try to guess these parameters.

DHCP Relay

IR-IP can operate as a DHCP relay for computers on its LAN. In this mode, the user does not need to configure the IP addresses and other related parameters for the PCs on the LAN: they receive the configuration from the DHCP server via the IR-IP module.

LAN Status

Used to enable/disable the flow of packets through LAN interface:

• Open – the flow of packets is enabled.

• Closed – the flow of packets is disabled. As a result, IR-IP does not accept, nor

sends packets to the LAN, but its WAN interface may still be active, and can interact with other IP hosts on the WAN.

WAN Status

Used to enable/disable the flow of packets through the WAN interface:

• Open – the flow of packets is enabled.

• Closed – the flow of packets through the WAN interface is disabled. As a

result, IR-IP does not accept from, nor sends packets to the WAN. However, the LAN interface of the IP router is still active.

WAN Throttle

This parameter specifies the maximum data rate at which data is sent to the WAN (i.e., to the E1 link). Since RIC-E1 operates only in the unframed mode, the only relevant parameter for the WAN throttle is Full (2048 kbps).

Aging Timeout

Used to specify the time after which inactive LAN stations are removed from the IR-IP ARP table.

A station is defined as inactive when no IP traffic is received from it by the IR-IP LAN interface.

WAN Protocol Parameters – Frame Relay Protocol Menu

The Frame Relay Protocol Parameters menu is used to configure the parameters Frame Relay WAN for protocol (the WAN protocol is selected by means of the

Quick Setup Menu) in Figure D-8.

D.13 Erasing User’s Configuration

The user-defined configuration parameters are stored in the IP router card flash memory. After the user-defined configuration parameters are erased, the IP router card automatically loads the factory-default parameters.

You may want to erase the current configuration parameters:

1. Before IR-IP is prepared for operation in a new application.

2. When you cannot configure IR-IP because its current LAN-interface IP address

and/or the Telnet password, are not known.



To erase the user’s configuration:

1. Turn RIC-E1 off.

2. Set all the four sections of the IR-IP DIP switch (Figure D-4) to ON.

3. Turn RIC-E1 on and monitor the ERR indicator: it must turn on and start

blinking.

4. While the ERR indicator is blinking (within 15 seconds), set sections 1 and 2 of

the DIP switch to OFF.

When the ERR indicator stops blinking and lights steadily, the IP router configuration becomes erased.

Note

If you do not set sections 1 and 2 to OFF within 15 seconds of power-up, the IP router card ignores the setting of all the four sections to ON and starts normal operation. In this case, it is recommended to turn the RIC-E1 off and then back on. To abort the whole operation, turn RIC-E1 off, return all the four-switch section to the desired positions, and then turn the RIC-E1 on again.

5. Turn RIC-E1 off, and the return all the four sections of the DIP switch to the

desired positions.

D.14 Erasing IR-IP Software

You may erase the IR-IP application software, without erasing the user-defined parameters.

After the application software is erased, IR-IP starts its TFTP server application, and waits for the downloading of software by a TFTP client connected to its LAN interface. The procedure to be used to download the application software in this case is also described below.

You may want to erase the application software if the downloading of new software using the Device Control menu (see Figure D-19) fails, and the IP router card does not function properly.



To erase the application software:

1. Turn RIC-E1 off.

2. Set all the four sections of IR-IP DIP switch to ON.

3. Turn RIC-E1 on and monitor the IP router ERR indicator: it must turn on and

start blinking.

4. While the ERR indicator is blinking (within 15 seconds), set sections 3 and 4 of

the DIP switch to OFF.

When the ERR indicator stops blinking and lights steadily, the IP router configuration becomes erased.

Note

If you do not set sections 3 and 4 to OFF within 15 seconds of power-up, IR-IP ignores the setting of all the four sections to ON and starts normal operation. In this case, it is recommended to turn RIC-E1 off and then back on. Alternately, to abort the whole operation, turn RIC-E1 off, return all the four switches to the desired positions, and then turn RIC-E1 on again.

5. Turn RIC-E1 off, and the return all the four sections of the DIP switch to the

desired positions.

Downloading New Software

After erasing the application software, you can download new software from any computer that can serve as a TFTP client.

To enable the downloading, IR-IP automatically activates its TFTP server application with the following factory-default IP parameters:

• IP address: 192.168.205.1

• Subnet mask: 255.255.255.252.

Connect the computer serving as a TFTP client to the IR-IP 10BASE-T connector in the way as a Telnet host used for preliminary configuration (see the Performing

Preliminary Configuration section). The computer IP parameters must be

configured as follows:

• IP address 192.168.205.2

• Subnet mask 255.255.255.252

• Default gateway 192.168.205.1



To download new software:

1. If necessary, turn RIC-E1 off.

2. Set all the four sections of the IR-IP DIP switch to OFF.

3. Turn RIC-E1 on and monitor the ERR indicator: it must start flashing.

D-32 Erasing IR-IP Software

4. Connect the computer to the IP router LAN interface and configure its IP

parameters as explained above.

5. Run a standard TFTP client application on the Telnet host, and download the

appropriate software file.

If the download is successful, IR-IP starts using the new software. If the downloading fails, repeat the download process.

E.2 Selecting the IR-X.21B Timing

IR-X.21B interface module supports two clock modes:

• EXT (external)

• INT/LBT (internal/receive).

You must set the IR-X.21B clock to match the timing you have selected for RIC-E1. The clock settings are made via the JP2 jumper located on the IR-X.21B board, as shown in Figure E-3.

JP2

EXT INT/LBT

EXT Clock Mode

The EXT clock mode is used in applications of X.21 networks where the system timing is provided by the X.21 network. The IR-X.21B module has an internal 16-bit FIFO buffer to compensate for the phase delay introduced to the system by the line delay between the two units. Figure E-4 illustrates the buffer connection and the flow of the receive, transmit and clock signals.

When RIC-E1operates in the external clock, you must set the IR-X.21B JP2 jumper to EXT.

Figure E-4. EXT Timing Mode

INT/LBT Clock Mode

The INT/LBT clock mode is used in applications where the IR-X.21B side uses the clock signal from the E1 link. This mode is used mainly when the attached equipment has an X.21 interface, but no ability to produce clock signals. The module has a 16-bit FIFO buffer to compensate for the phase delay introduced by the X.21 device. Figure E-5 illustrates the buffer connection and the flow of the receive, transmit and clock signals.

When RIC-E1 operates in the internal or receive clock, you must set the IR-X.21B JP2 jumper to INT/RCV.
