1. Introduction

The Atlas250 is a device developed by TELDAT designed to adapt to most habitual teleprocess networks scenarios: corporate, SME and personal environments (SOHO).

Through its WAN-LAN connections, this device provides router IP functions, supporting OSPF and other dynamic routing protocols. The Atlas250 also presents a wide variety of connection possibilities in SNA environments, from LLC2 and SDLC to QLLC conversion, that allow direct interconnection of an Atlas250 to a local network without requiring a communication card in the server, and includes SNA transport over IP networks through Data Link Switching (DLSw). This option permits the transport network architecture to be standardized for TCP/IP.

As regards interfaces with public or private Wide Area Network (WAN), the Atlas250 permits access to the Integrated Services Digital Network (ISDN) through a basic access through D and/or B channel. In addition to the direct X.25 option, the possibility of FRAME-RELAY or PPP connections up to speeds of 2 Mbps has been added.

The basic configuration consists of two LAN interfaces and three serial WAN interfaces and an ISDN access. This can be amplified through the insertion of cards, both in Teldat format as well as in PMC format (PCI Mezzanine Card), which can support encryption, voice over IP (VoIP), xDSL, etc.

1.1. Recycling and the Environment

Please do not under any circumstances throw away any Atlas250 with normal domestic waste. Ask your local town hall for information on how to correctly dispose of them so protecting the environment against e-waste. Always respect the current laws regarding waste material.

Anyone found violating the environmental laws will be subject to fines and any additional steps established by law.

All the packing materials i.e. the cardboard box, plastic and any other packaging together with the pieces making up an Atlas250 must be recycled complying with the current active laws regarding recycling materials.

The above symbol with a cross over the rubbish container can be seen on the device. This means that when a device reaches the end of its life, it must be taken to the official recycling/disposal centers where it must be disposed of in an environmentally responsible manner and separate from normal domestic waste.

2. Installation

The Atlas250 multimedia router is designed to be both a desktop and a rack device. In either case, in order to accomplish correct installation, please follow the recommendations given below:

BEFORE CONNECTING THE DEVICE PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY.

2.1. General installation conditions

Workplace Conditions

Bear in mind the following recommendations:

1. Excessive cold and heat should be avoided, as should humidity and dust. Direct exposure to sunlight should be avoided as well as other heat sources. The device should not be placed amongst papers, magazines or other elements that could hinder natural air circulation.

2. The device should not be placed very close to strong electromagnetic fields such as speakers, engines, etc.

3. Knocks and/or strong vibrations should be avoided during transport, operation and storage.

Power supply

The Atlas250 communications device does not require special conditions as regards voltage stability or protection against power malfunctions as it is already protected.

To avoid electric shocks, residual current circulation and other unwanted effects, also affecting data communications, the following is recommended:

• It is highly recommended that all interconnected data devices be plugged to THE

SAME GROUNDED POWER OUTLET, which should at the same time be of good quality (lower than 10ohms).

• Whether the workplace is provided with an uninterrupted power supply system

(UPS), regulated supply or it is independent from the rest (such as lighting, etc.); it is highly recommended that all data devices should be connected to the same power source. This will avoid operating and premature aging problems of drivers and other components.

WARNING: Electric supply current, telephone and communication cables are dangerous. To

prevent electric shock while installing, moving or opening the device covers, cables should be disconnected and connected as follows.

To connect the Atlas250

To disconnect the Atlas250

• Make sure that the device power supply

switch is OFF

• Switch off the device.

• Connect all the data cables. • Disconnect the power supply cable

• Connect the power supply cable. • Disconnect the data cables.

• Switch on the device.

2.2. Connection

a) LAN Ethernet connection

The LAN interface has two female RJ45 connectors in order to connect to the Ethernet 10BaseT / 100BaseT networks through shielded twisted pairs (STP) or unshielded (UTP) cables. These cables are not supplied with the equipment; please consult your supplier with regard to this.

Depending on the design of the Network, the connection is carried out through a HUB or directly to another terminal device Ethernet interface through a crossover cable (please consult your supplier for information on crossover Ethernet cables).

b) WAN or external modem connection

The DTE/DCE multistandard serial interfaces have a DB25 female connector in order to connect to an external modem or for connection to X.25, Frame Relay networks, etc.

Depending on the type of connection established, a different type of cable will be needed. This cable can be supplied by Teldat if you wish.

On the underside on the device, there is a flap providing access to the sockets in order to insert the V.24 DTE/DCE, V.35 DTE/DCE, and X.21 DTE/DCE drivers. These drivers are not multi- purpose. The configuration for the operation mode is carried out by inverting the position of the driver (this appears labeled as “T” indicating that this acts as terminal, and “M” indicating modem functions). The operation mode is that indicated by the label closest to the connector.

La The default configuration for the drivers (on leaving the factory) is indicated on a label located on the underside of the device, close to the drivers access flap.

In the below figure you can see a given drivers configuration. WAN 1 operates in DCE mode and WAN 2 in DTE mode.

WAN 2 WAN 1

Figure 3. Situation of the drivers depending on operating mode

Ver.2.0

c) ISDN Connection

The ISDN interface presents an RJ45 female connector to connector the 4-wire S bus coming from the ISDN network terminator (NT1 or TR1).

You can use a flat cable with RJ45 male connectors, provided with the device for connection purposes.

Passive-Bus terminal resistances

The Atlas250 routers have a pushbutton (labeled as “TERM”) in order to connect the BUS-S termination resistances. The placing of these terminal resistances in the correct position is important as contrariwise this can lead to errors in data (or voice), particularly if the “S” bus line is long. On leaving the factory, the pushbutton, by default, is in the “ON” position.

• The only or last terminal in the ISDN “S” bus

The “TERM” pushbutton must be in the ON position if the router is the only element connected to the network terminal (NT1, TR1, etc) or is in the last position on the ISDN “S” bus.

2.3. Installation in a rack

In order to install the Atlas250 router in a 19-inch rack, you require two plastic strips as can be seen in the figure. The strips and the associated screws are not included in the basic packet and need to be acquired separately.

Both strips are attached to the device through four screws, two at each side, as shown in the figure.

Figure 7. Attaching the strips

The spaces for the screws in the Atlas250 router leave the factory protected by covers. These can be removed by using a sharp tool (such as a small flat screwdriver). We recommend removing the upper cover in order to carry this out more easily.

2.4. Switching on the device

Once the device has been installed in the workplace following the steps previously given, you can switch on the device. Once this has been carried out, a process of auto-test and initialization, explained below, takes place.

Firstly, the device carries out a brief auto-test where it checks that the startup program is correct and a brief detection and initialization of the SDRAM present in the device. With each step taken, a LED lights up in yellow beginning with the S LED. If any problems are detected the process stops and the S LED flashes in red. Once this process has completed, the console is available and begins to display data.

Once the booting process has terminated, an auto-test and auto-detection test of the motherboard hardware takes place. Firstly all the device LEDs light up in yellow followed by red and lastly in green. This simplifies the operations visual checking procedure. Subsequently, for each tested internal element, a device LED lights up in yellow beginning with the S LED. If the test is successful the LED remains green. If any malfunctions are detected, the corresponding LED remains lit up in red and once the auto-test has completed, depending on the problem, the device resets and repeats the process or permits you to operate through the console in order to resolve the problem.

Initializing the device, all the LEDs switch off and the routing application code is decompressed. During this process the B1 LED flashes in green and the console displays both the dots and the blocks of the decompressed code.

Once the decompression process has terminated the application executes. The configuration, if found, is read and the device prompt or an access login is displayed. At this point, if everything has gone smoothly, the S LED is lit up in green. An example of what is displayed on the console can be found in section 3.2.a.

3. Description of the equipment

The aspect of the equipment can be seen in the following figure. Here you can see both the front panel and the various rear panels depending on the version.

On the front panel, you can see the LEDs which display the status of the various interfaces and devices that the Atlas250 router has.

Located on the rear panel is the power point, the AUX console connection (in DB-9 format) for local configuration and monitoring and the microswitches. From the communications point of view, you will find the connection to the LAN (in RJ45 format) with the link LED (in yellow), the ISDN connection (in RJ24 format) with the TERM pushbutton controlling the ISDN bus terminal resistance and the WAN connectors (in DB-25 format). Finally, depending on the version, you will find diverse types of slots which permit access to the various expansion cards that can be situated in the interior of the device; by default, these slots are protected by blind covers and once removed permit you to access the distinct connectors supporting the expansion cards.

Figure 9. Front and rear panels of the equipment

On the underside of the device you will see a flap that provides access to the serial line drivers. Here you can select the operating mode (DTE/DCE) and change from one to the other depending on the standard you are going to use.

3.2. Description of the microswitches

In the interior of the Atlas250 routers, you will find a group of SW2 microswitches. These are identified by the numbers ‘1’ to ‘8’ as shown in the below figure. These activate test functions, software loading functions etc. By default (manufacturer) all these microswitches are in the OFF position. These should not be handled by the user except in cases to reestablish the default configuration as described below.

Figure 12. Location of the microswitches

To ensure correct operating procedures, all the microswitches must be in the OFF position.

a) Procedure to ignore the configuration

This procedure is applied if you have to discard the whole configuration of the device, for example, if you cannot remember the password.

The procedure is as follows:

• Turn off the device through the ON/OFF switch.

• Using a screwdriver or another sharp instrument, move microswitch ‘5’ to the ON position.

• Turn the device on with the ON/OFF switch.

When the device is switched on, a message similar to the one shown below will appear on the configuration console:

4. Appendices

4.1. Smart Card

The configuration is stored in a card in the device and is read each time the device boots. This configuration is generally stored in the device Flash memory. However, in some models, you can use an external device in order to store the configuration: a Smart Card, which simplifies the transfer of configurations from one device to another. The information is compressed in order to take advantage of the space available in the Smart Card. The choice of the active storing medium where you read the configuration and where this is stored is carried out through console commands. These commands can be found in more detail in the “Dm704-I Configuration and Monitoring” manual.

a) Description and insertion

The Smart Card is a card with an integrated circuit permitting you to store and process information. The available space is variable, however it can always be measured in Kilobytes. The external aspect of the card is displayed in the following figure: on one side of the card you can see the integrated circuit and on the other there is an arrow indicating which way to insert the card.

Figure 13. Aspect of a SmartCard

In those models that have this device, the Smart Card is inserted in the slot located on the front panel of the equipment. The card should be placed in the slot so that the arrow is face up and the chip face down. The card must be carefully inserted following the arrow until a small click is heard.

Figure 14. SmartCard insertion slot

Next to the insertion slot you can see a LED which indicates the card activity. This LED lights up in green when it is reading or writing in the card and remains off when there is no activity.

• DO NOT extract or introduce the card when the activity LED is on. Contrariwise

data stored in the card may be lost.

b) Viewing the content

The content of the Smart Card may be viewed from either the console or through FTP.

Page 16

Doc.DM698-I

Ver.2.0

• In order to view the content of the Smart Card, or the free space, use the ‘FILE LIST’

command from the configuration menu (please see manual “Dm704-I Configuration and Monitoring”). Given that the Smart Card is a slow device, it may take a few seconds to respond.

Viewing the Smart Card’s available files on the console

• In order to view the content of the Smart Card accessing the device via FTP, use the ‘dir’

command from the equipment assembled for the Smart Card. The steps are as follows:

• Introduce the login and password.

o If you have defined users, use the names and passwords assigned to these as

o If there are no defined users, use “root” as the login. o If the password has not been configured, press “intro”. o If you have a console password configured, introduce this password in order to

access the FTP server.

o If authentication with a RADIUS server is activated, introduce the

corresponding password.

• Exit the FTP default device through the “cd ..” command.

• Change to the FTP device using the Smart Card through the “cd smc” command.

• Display the content of the Smart Card through the “dir” command.

Ver.2.0

c) Write

Configurations can be stored in the Smart Card through FTP and from the console. Writing through FTP is carried out as described in the “Updating the software and the configurations” appendix of this manual.

From the console, you can use the ‘SAVE’ and ‘FILE COPY’ configuration process commands. The ‘SAVE’ command always uses the active storing unit. The ‘FILE COPY’ command permits you to select a unit distinct to the active one (in order to specifically refer to the Smart Card, you need to use the unit identifier “S:” (s following by a colon). For further information please see manual “Dm704-I Configuration and Monitoring”.

Choosing the active unit is executed through the ‘CONFIG-MEDIA’ configuration command. This allows you to select the following options:

• SMARTCARD-FLASH. Both mediums are considered active; priority however is given to

the Smart Card over the Flash memory.

• SMARTCARD. The Smart Card is considered as the only active medium or unit.

• FLASH. The Flash memory is considered as the only active medium or unit.

By default, the device has the value ‘SMARTCARD-FLASH’ configured in those devices that support Smart Card and the ‘FLASH’ option for those devices which don’t. You can check which unit is active by using the ‘FILE LIST’ command.

As previously indicated in this appendix, the configuration in the Smart Card is stored in compressed format. To indicate this, the files stored in the Smart Card have the last letter of the extension changed to “z”. If the file you wish to store in the Smart Card does not have any extension a “.z” is added. Any file saved in the Smart Card will be recorded in compressed format through the gzip compression application.

In cases where the file recorded in the Smart Card is already sent in gzip compressed format, this will not be compressed nor will the extension be modified. Files transferred via FTP from the Smart Card to a PC will be transferred in exactly the same way as they were stored in the Smart Card, i.e. compressed. The compression format used can be decompressed with the majority of decompression applications available on the market including WinZip. The ‘FILE COPY’ command however, should the original file be a Smart Card file destined to be a Flash memory file, will copy the file in decompressed format.

Additionally there are commands to delete (‘FILE DELETE’ command) and to rename (‘FILE RENAME’ command) files in a storage unit. For further information on these commands please see manual “Dm704-I Configuration and Monitoring”.

d) Access Mode

Under normal circumstances, the device on booting or on saving the configuration uses the storing medium which is configured as active.

When the device boots, the behavior, depending on the active medium, is as follows:

Page 18

ATLAS 250 – Installation Manual

Doc.DM698-I

Ver.2.0

• SMARTCARD-FLASH. The Smart Card configuration is read. If the card is not present or

the file cannot be found, the operation is repeated in the Flash. If the file is not found in the Flash memory then the device will boot with the default configuration.

After reading the Smart Card configuration file the device checks to see that this is written in the Flash memory. If the configuration is not present then the device enters it so that both mediums are synchronized.

• SMARTCARD. The Smart Card configuration is read. If the card is not present or the file

cannot be found, the device will boot with the default configuration.

• FLASH. The Flash configuration is read. If the file cannot be found the device will boot

with the default configuration.

On saving the configuration through the ‘SAVE’ command, the behavior, depending on the active media is as follows:

• SMARTCARD-FLASH. The configuration is saved in both the Smart Card and the

Flash. The console indicates the devices where the configuration has been stored and

through a warning text will show the devices where recording has not been possible.

• SMARTCARD. The configuration is saved in the Smart Card.

• FLASH. The configuration is saved in the Flash memory.

Occasionally, you may wish to boot the Smart Card device independently of the active medium configured in the device and you may want the Smart Card configuration to be automatically stored in Flash. In this way, in subsequent device start-ups, this will boot with the configuration present in the Smart Card even if the card has been extracted (this could be useful for example to update the configuration in a device pool where you need to start from a common base configuration). To do this, use microswitch ‘5’ (default configuration microswitch) so that provided this is active (ON position) the following procedure will be executed:

1. Firstly the device will try to read a configuration titled ‘STARTUP.CFZ from the Smart Card. If this is found, this configuration is copied to the device Flash memory with ROUTER.CFG as name (configuration file device default name) and is marked as the active configuration file. If the device has a ROUTER.CFG configuration in the Flash memory, this is stored as ROUTER.BAK. This is configured as “FLASH” independently of the configured active medium.

2. If this cannot be found, the device will search the Smart Card for a configuration with the default name of the configuration file (ROUTER.CFZ). If this is found it is marked as active and NOT copied to the Flash memory. This is configured as “SMARTCARD-FLASH” independently of the configured active medium.

3. In cases where neither of the above mentioned files is found, the device will search the Smart Card for any configuration file (files with extension .cfz). If one is found, the device will boot with this configuration marking it as the active configuration file. In the same way as the above case, the configuration will NOT be copied in the Flash memory. This is configured as “SMARTCARD-FLASH” independently of the configured active medium.

4. Finally, if the Smart Card is not available or none of the configuration files is found, then the device will boot with the default configuration. The configured active medium is not modified.

As with any logical support, the Smart Card must be formatted before it can be used. The Smart Card is already formatted on leaving the factory. However should it be necessary the Atlas250 has

the means to do this.

In order to format a Smart Card you can use the ‘FILE FORMAT SMARTCARD’ command from the configuration menu. Please bear in mind that the formatting process destroys any information that is in the Smart Card, consequently should you format a card containing valid information it will not be possible to recover this.

You can also format a Smart Card from the BIOS management menus which are accessible on booting the device: within the disk menu you will find the “format” command which permits you to format the card.

For further information on how to format your card, please contact you regular supplier or an authorized technical service.

4.2. Troubleshooting

Below, you will find a table, which will help you to solve problems during the installation of the device. If you cannot resolve the problem, please consult your distributor for additional information.

Symptom Solution

None of the LEDs lights up on the device

Check the power supply to the device (power source, ON/OFF

switch, main power outlet). The S LED does not light up. Check that all the microswitches are in the OFF position. The local console does not

respond.

Check that you are using the correct console cable and that this

is connected to the device and the asynchronous terminal.

Check that the terminal has the correct port configured.

Check that the terminal configuration is 9600 8N1.

Check that the console is not in an events process.

Check that the device is not being remotely accessed via telnet. The local console is only

displaying garbage

Check that the terminal has the correct port configured.

Check that the terminal configuration is 9600 8N1. The device does not initialize and

the console displays the WARMUP text.

Check that microswitch ‘1’ is in the OFF position. In this

situation, you may have to reload the device BIOS and the

routing application. The device is very slow in

displaying the application prompt.

Check that microswitch ‘3’ is in the OFF position.

You have forgotten the password to access the device

Ignore the configuration through microswitch ‘5’ as explained in

the section on microswitches. The LAN LED never lights up in

green.

Check that the rear LINK LED is ON.

Check the Ethernet cable and the connection to the network (you

may need a crossover cable). The WAN LED never lights up in

green.

Check that the cable you are using is adequate, that the driver is

inserted in the correct position (DTE or DCE).

Check that the configuration is correct (speed, protocol, etc.). The ISDN LEDs never light up in

either yellow or green.

Check that the connection to the bus is correct and that the Sbus

terminal switch is in the correct position. The LEDS indicate the interfaces

are established but there is no connectivity at the data levels.

Check the configuration (routes, IP addresses, serial interface

speed, etc).

4.3. Updating the software and the configurations

Both the BIOS as well as the routing application code and the configurations are stored in the device flash memory. This is handled as a standard disk unit. The executable codes have a .bin extension and can by updated via FTP using the Atlas250 router FTP server, and by XModem through the device local console.

The configurations have a .cfg extension and can only be read and written via FTP. If you wish to make copies of your configurations, simply obtain the .cfg router file possessed by the router. In the same way, if you wish to use a configuration, simply overwrite the said file.

UPDATING THE APPLICATION

The code storage system simulates a standard disk drive unit: you must make sure that the application file name loaded in the device coincides with that already existing. If this is not so, it is possible that the loaded code will not automatically activate and the system will continue to execute the code that existed prior to the updating.

If you always use the same file name, the system will delete the previous code, substitute it with the new code and activate automatically.

a) Updating using FTP

The Teldat devices have an internal FTP server that is capable is distinguishing if a file that is loading is from BIOS, application or from another. Therefore, the server operation is completely transparent.

By default, the FTP server is located in port 21; through the configuration, you can change the FTP port server. You must check to make sure you are accessing the correct port, if not you will not be able to receive a response from the server.

In order to carry out a code transfer (assuming the server port has not been modified):

• Introduce the login and the password.

o If users have been defined, use the names and passwords for these as login and

password. Updating will be executed or not depending on the user access levels.

o If there are no defined users, use “root” as login. o If the password has not been configured, press “intro”. o If you have the console password configured, introduce the same password in

order to access the FTP server.

o If you have authentication activated with a RADIUS server, introduce the

corresponding password.

• Pass to binary mode through the “binary” command.

• Carry out the transfer through the “put” command.

• Permanently save the loaded file with “quote site savebuffer” command.

• If you want the device to automatically restart and begin executing the new code, you

can send the “quote site reload on” command; on leaving the FTP session, the device will restart after approximately 30 seconds.

Loading the code via FTP using a Windows MSDOS screen

If you need help, you have the standard FTP “help” command available. This permits you to obtain a commands list (not all of them are operative in this server). “help” <command_name> provides help on the indicated command. For further information, please consult the Teldat Router manual related to FTP, reference “Dm724-I FTP Protocol”.

You can, at any point, view the status of the buffer through the “quote site statbuffer” command. If you wish to delete it, use the “quote site clearbuffer” command.

b) Updating via XModem

This code updating mode is for those cases where you do not have an IP connection available with the device or for emergencies.

To carry out updating:

• Set the microswitch ‘3’ in the ON position and switch on the device. By default, the

transfer speed is 115200 bps; if you wish to change the said speed you must access the device console and set a new speed (you are shown how to do this in the following figure).

• Wait until the B1 LED is green and the S LED is slowly flashing in yellow: the device

is waiting to load the code.

• Through a program with a function to send data with the XModem protocol, you carry

out loading from an application file; you will notice that the S LED is flashing rapidly, indicating the transfer process. If the S LED passes to red, the transfer has failed; repeat the process slowing down the speed.

• Once the transfer has successfully completed, you will see that the B1 LED activates in

green and the S LED continues flashing in yellow, indicating that the recording process is in progress: if the S LED passes to red the recording process has failed; if this passes to green the recording process has finalized satisfactorily.

• Once the code has been successfully loaded, deactivate the microswitch ‘3’ so the

device will not pass to the wait mode in order to download the code through the XModem.

By default, the application loaded through the XModem is saved with the name “AT2G.BIN”; you can modify the name, following the instructions that appear on the console when carrying out the download.

Loading through the console can also be carried out by accessing the BIOS menus; in order to access the said menus you must press CTRL-T when a series of dots appear after the “>>” symbols.

Current file name: AT2G.BIN Press Ctrl+t to change file name
