Telecommunications Regulations

Equipment that complies with Part 68 of the FCC rules includes a label or permanent marking on the printed circuit board that connects to the network that contains, among other information, the FCC registration number and ringer equivalence number (REN) for this equipment. If requested, this information must be provided to the telephone company. A plug and jack used to connect this equipment to the premises wiring and telephone network must comply with the applicable FCC Part 68 rules and requirements adopted by the ACTA. A compliant telephone cord and modular plug is provided with this product. It is designed to be connected to a compatible modular jack that is also compliant. See installation instructions for details.

The REN is used to determine the number of devices that may be connected to a telephone line. Excessive RENs on a telephone line may result in the devices not ringing in response to an incoming call. In most but not all areas, the sum of RENs should not exceed five (5.0). To be certain of the number of devices that may be connected to a line, as determined by the total RENs, contact the local telephone company. The REN for this product is part of the product identifier that has the format US:AAAEQ##TXXXX. The digits represented by ## are the REN without a decimal point (e.g., 03 is a REN of 0.3).

If this equipment causes harm to the telephone network, the telephone company will notify you in advance that temporary discontinuance of service may be required. But if advance notice isn't practical, the telephone company will notify the customer as soon as possible. Also, you will be advised of your right to file a complaint with the FCC if you believe it is necessary. The telephone company may make changes in its facilities, equipment, operations or procedures that could affect the operation of the equipment. If this happens the telephone company will provide advance notice in order for you to make necessary modifications to maintain uninterrupted service. If the equipment is causing harm to the telephone network, the telephone company may request that you disconnect the equipment until the problem is resolved. Connection to party line service is subject to state tariffs. Contact the state public utility commission, public service commission or corporation commission for information. If your home has specially wired alarm equipment connected to the telephone line, ensure the installation of this equipment does not disable your alarm equipment. If you have questions about what will disable alarm equipment, consult a trained technician.

Equipment that meets the applicable Industry Canada Terminal Equipment Technical Specifications is conformed by the registration number. Equipment that complies with Industry rules includes a label or permanent marking on the printed circuit board that connects to the network. The abbreviation, IC, before the registration number signifies that the registration was performed based on a Declaration of Conformity indicating that Industry Canada technical specifications were met. It does not imply that Industry Canada approved the equipment.

Applications

IP Traffic The demand for Internet applications (search engines, browsers, video conferencing,

e-commerce) has resulted in explosive growth in the area of client networks. Furthermore, serial and non-IP LAN applications are migrating to IP. This is driven by the success of the Internet. The Vanguard 6435, equipped with the latest software, addresses these needs with IP enhancements such as IP Multicast, RIP2, and Router Proxy.

Figure 1-3 shows a network with a Vanguard 6435 on one end of a link and Vanguard 6560s on the other. IP Traffic is being transported by Frame Relay. The Applications Ware software in the Vanguard nodes (the 6435 and the 6560s) has the capability found in most routers plus the ability of packaging IP traffic in Frame Relay frames. Additionally, the 6435 and the 6560s can back up IP traffic with dial-on-demand or ISDN links.

Virtual Private Network through Data Encryption

This application example (Figure 1-5) shows how a Virtual Private Network (VPN) can be created by encrypting data before it is transmitted over Frame Relay or X.25 networks. There is no security and privacy for unencrypted data as it moves from one location to another through the public network. After encryption, the Vanguard 6435 offers secure transmission of data over any shared public medium, creating a virtual private network.

Enhanced Vanguard Daughtercards

Introduction This section describes the Enhanced Vanguard Daughtercards currently supported by

the 6435 and 6455. These include:

• “10/100BaseT Enhanced Daughtercard” on page 2-19

• “ATM Enhanced Daughtercard” on page 2-21

2-18 Hardware Description

Enhanced Vanguard Daughtercards

10/100BaseT Enhanced Daughtercard

Introduction The 10/100BaseT Enhanced Vanguard Daughtercard conforms to the Fast Ethernet

specification (IEEE 802.3u) known as 100BaseT. This LAN standard has raised the Ethernet speed limit from 10 Megabits to 100 Megabits per second. Furthermore, the card has an auto-sensing feature that allows it to determine if the connection is 10BaseT or 100BaseT and adjust its speed as required. This card supports half or full duplex operation with the default being half duplex.

Figure 2-26 shows a drawing of the 10/100BaseT Enhanced Vanguard Daughtercard.

Enhanced Vanguard Daughtercards

Configuring the 10/100BaseT Card

The Vanguard 6435/6455 supports only one 10/100BaseT Enhanced Vanguard Daughtercard at a time. However, the Vanguard 6435/6455 can simultaneously support the onboard Ethernet 10BaseT port (Port 5) and the 10/100BaseT port (either Port 10 or Port 13, depending on the card’s location).

Ethernet Port records can be configured for both ports (providing there are no conflicts between the two records such as bridge link and router interface numbers).

• If you manually configure the onboard 10BaseT Port (Port 5), the 10/100BaseT port (Port 10/13) automatically uses the default Ethernet Port record.

• If you do not configure either port, the 10/100BaseT Port (Port 10/13) uses the default configuration and the 10baseT Port (Port 5) is disabled.

• You can configure the 10/100BaseT Port (Port 10/13) as NULL which effectively disables the port.

For more information about configuring an Ethernet port, refer to the Ethernet Basics Guide (Part Number T0109).

Multiple LANs The Vanguard 6435/6455 can simultaneously support only two LANs in any of these

combinations:

• Two Ethernet LANs

• One token Ring LAN and one Ethernet LAN

Note

The Ethernet LANs can be either two 10BaseT LANs or one 10BaseT and one 100 BaseT.

• Annex G Termination

• Variable Bit Rate (VBR) - real time and non-real time

2-22 Hardware Description

T1E1 ATM Port Configuration

If you are running T1 ATM on a Vanguard 6435 or 6455 Series product, the AAM port may not function after upgrading to release 6.0.R00A or greater (when certain parameters are not at default). You must have local CTP access to the node if this is the case. Do not upgrade to release 6.0.R00A if you have no other way to access the CTP than through ATM. The ATM connection could be down after booting in Release 6.0.R00A or greater.

You must have local CTP access if the following parameters are not configured as follows (prior to the upgrade):

Parameter Default

*Port Type: AAM *Maximum VPI Range: 3 *Maximum VCI Range: 127 F5 Link Assurance Timer: 3 F5 Link Assurance Count: 3

Enhanced Vanguard Daughtercards

CC Activate/Deactivate Timer: 5 CC Activate/Deactivate Count: 3

If these parameters are not set at default, you must reconfigure all AAM ports after release 6.0.R00A or greater has been booted on-line and then reboot the node again. All AAM station configurations are correctly transferred in the upgrade and will function once the AAM port is reconfigured properly.

Installing the 6455 Rack Mount Version

Introduction This section explains how to install the rack mount version of the Vanguard 6455.

Be sure that you have the mounting brackets that came with the unit.

Installation Variation

Rack-Mount Cautions

When rack-mounting a Vanguard 6455, you can orient the unit in either of two ways:

• Front Panel Forward: The front panel faces the front of the rack. This allows you to easily read the LCD panel display. The cables run out the rear of the rack.

• Rear Panel Forward: The rear panel faces the front of the rack. This allows you to easily access the cables and to replace and install the motherboard and cards.

For either mounting method, refer to Figure 3-3.

Take note of these considerations before and after rack-mounting your Vanguard

6455.

Caution

It is possible to subject the rack-mounted Vanguard 6455 to high temperatures. Be sure the ambient temperature in the equipment rack and around the inlets of the cards and power supply does not exceed the recommended temperature limits listed in Appendix A.

Caution

Be sure that the rack-mounted Vanguard 6455 has adequate air flow for cooling purposes. Leave a minimum of 2 inch (5 cm) clearance on each side. (Inadequate airflow can cause thermal shutdown of the power supply.)

Caution

When mounting a Vanguard 6455 in a rack, be sure the mounting screws are adequately tightened so the enclosure does not bend or fall.

Caution

Be sure that the power circuit to which the Vanguard 6455 is connected is not overloaded.

Caution

Be sure that the rack-mounted Vanguard 6455 is properly grounded at all times.

Inlet Temperature After the unit is running, check the ambient air temperature. Make sure it does not

exceed the operating temperature limits specified in Appendix A.

Thermal Shutdown If a Vanguard 6435/6455 is not properly cooled, the power supply will overheat and

shut down. This is called Thermal Shutdown. The power supply remains off until it cools, after which it automatically comes back on.

Thermal Shutdown can occur if the Vanguard 6435/6455’s internal temperature is too high because of any of these conditions:

• Blocked vents

• Insufficient clearance around the unit

• Air inlet temperatures exceeds the operating limits

After it cools, the unit powers on again. However, the unit will continue to automatically shut down until the problem is corrected.
