BOUT THE
The telecommunications network service market is rapidly changing, where
network monitoring, control, and higher performance in packet processing are
not only expected, but demanded, at competitive price points. Verilink’s
WANsuite family is based on our innovative, next-generation WAN access architecture − a high ly flexible and po werful arch itecture that ca n meet th e
needs of many different customers in many different applications. Because it
is so flexible, WANsuite products will continually evolve, offering our
customers cutting-edge features at competitive prices.
WAN
SUITE
5160/5130
The WANsuite 5160 is a service-aware T1/FT1 CSU/DSU with two Network
ports (both of which operate in long-haul and short-haul mode); two Serial
ports software-configurable for RS-232, EIA-530, or V.35 electrical
connections; an asynchronous Supervisory port; a 10/100Base-T Ethernet
interface; four status LEDs; an LCD front panel; and three input control keys.
The WANsuite 5130 has one Serial port and does not have a Network 2 port.
Except for these two differences, the 5130 has the same features as the 5160.
Capable of accommodating a wide range of network configurations, the
WANsuite 5160 and 5130 effectively combine voice, data, and network traffic
over a single transmission facility and work with industry-standard network
management solutions.
All of WANsuite 5160/5130’s installation, performance configuration, traffic
monitoring, alarm reporting, and diagnostic capabilities can be configured
through the units’ embedded We b server interface(WANsight™) using
Microsoft® Internet Explorer™ . The W eb ser ver interfa ce can be accessed
locally through the Ethernet port or the Supervisory port, or remotely through
the Network port. Especially advantageous is WANsuite’s advanced monitorin g and co ntrol cap abilit y that gives network administrators the
ability to plan future capacity requirements. To extend the WANsuite
5160/5130’s functionality even further, Verilink offers an element
management software system for reporting and real-time diagnostics.
About the WANsuite 5160/51301-1
The unit’s built-in ServiceAware™ technology lets network managers
maximize available WAN bandwidth and verify SLAs. This management
platform lets the end user see network activity (performance) and problems
(diagnostics) on any permanent virtual circuit (PVC), access line or physical
circuit.
Verilink’s FrameStart™ technology is standard with the
WANsuite 5160/5130 and benefits the initial installation of frame relay
circuits by eliminating the requirement for a frame relay test set. FrameStart
ensures that T1 circuit status, signal quality, loopback code detection, access
link condition, and the various Layer 2 frame relay investigation and reporting
features ar e availabl e and ac curate.
Another feature of the WANsuite product line, IP Gateway enables IP packet rout ing throughout a LAN/WAN network architecture using static
routing configurations or dynamic routing protocols (Routing Information
Protocol − RIP 1 and RIP 2− or Open Shortest Path First − OSPF).
RIP 1 and RIP 2 allow routers to exchange routing information. WANsuite
then uses this information exchange to build routing tables for IP Packet
routes. After building the routing tables, WANsuite periodically broadcasts
the contents to neighboring routers so that your network can choose the most
efficient rou tes available.
OSPF uses link-state routing algorithms to calculate routes based on the
number of routers, transmission speeds, delays, and route costs. Using the
OSPF protocol, WANsuite works with other routers in your
telecommunications fabric to dynamically change routing “on the fly” to make
use of the most efficient and cost-effective transit across your network.
Because IP Gateway enables WANsuite to route IP traffic either statically or
dynamically across your LAN/WAN architecture, your need for costly routers
is substantially reduced. WANsuite is a one-stop solution that can help you
meet the requirements of your many different applications.
DHCP uses a server-clie nt architecture to assign IP addresses to PCs and
workstations on the LAN. The DHCP server dynamically assigns these IP
addresses, which can be either temporary or permanent, to each PC or
workstation (DHCP client). These IP addresses are "housed" on the DHCP
server.
NAT e nables an enterprise to set up two sets of IP addresses − one set fo r
internal network use (or LAN traffic) and one set for external use (or Internet
traffic). This can provide a layer of security f or a company by eliminating
outside access to internal IP addresses from the In ternet.
Bridging separate LANs together is another option for the IP traffic. Using
the IEEE Standard 802.1D Transparent Bridging specification, the
WANsuite 5160/5130 can simplify your network architecture by allowing you
to bridge separate LANs across a WAN so they operate as a single LAN.
The WANsuite 5160/5130 gives service providers and enterprise customers
the capability to monito r end-to -end n etwork p erforma nce (with support
for up to 256 virtual circuits) as well as the capability to verify Service Level
Agreements (SLAs); isolate performance problems to the LAN, local loop, or
1-2WANsuite 5160/5130
frame relay network; determine appropriate bandwidth needs; and monitor
network trends to aid in future capacity planning.
TCP Server, a feature of the WANsuite product line, provides connectivity
to multiple endpoints by associating a TCP port with each endpoint while
reducing the number of physical connections at the central site to one
10/100Base-T Ethernet port.
Features of the WANsuite 5160/5130
Performance
Historically, WAN access devices have tended to perform well as
single-function devices such as CSUs/DSUs, but have not been optimized to
address higher level traffic issues such as service levels and integration.
Verilink's architecture and Web-based user interface work together to address
all access issues as services and ap plications , rather th an as circ uits and
protocols, for exceptional WAN management performance.
To further leverage its Web browser interface, Verilink's new architecture also
allows firmware to be upgraded via the Web from a standard browser, with
password control, if desired.
SNMP Management
With integrated SNMP in-band management, enterprise managers can now
manage Verilink WANsuite units and their integral CSUs/DSUs as a single
unit. With only one LAN segment in the network, all Verilink WANsuite
platforms can be managed by SNMP. With self-learning functionality, these
platforms learn their frame rel ay environmen t and eliminate the need for
remote, trained personnel. By downloading all configuration parameters from
the central site, no interaction is required at remote sites to establish
connectivity. WANs can be constructed using frame relay or leased-line
services. Verilink’s WAN suite 5160/5130 allows any port to be configured for
any of its available service technologies through simple software
configuration. Network managers can now fine tune the enterprise network for
the lowest cost and highest performance.
Intelligent WAN Access Architecture
Verilink's next-gen eration WAN access architect ure is built around a
PowerPC™ processor, and works with non-proprietary network management
solutions via SNMP. An embedded Web server supplies a simple-to-use
interface for configuration and statistics collection, with a service table for
mapping services to ports, an endpoint table for configuring and monitoring
service endpoints, and a user table for traffic monitoring and control.
About the WANsuite 5160/51301-3
Optional Advanced Network Management
As an option for the WANsuite 5160/5130, Verilink offers a network
management system based on RedPoint's NetVoyant™ software, which was
designed to provide IT professionals with the information required to make
informed, enterprise-wide capacity-planning and investment decisions.
NetVoyan t is an NT -based element m anageme nt syst em that i ncludes an
ODBC-compliant database, CORBA IDLs for customization and flexibility,
real-time diagnostics, and extensive reporting and trending application
support. The solution employs an open-system, multi-vendor support approach
for network management, monitoring, and the collection of statistics from any
SNMP-based networking device, including Verilink equipment already in the
field.
WANsuite extends the functionality of NetVoyant’s software by incorporating
customized configuration modules. This advanced network management
system is offered as an option for the WANsuite 5160/5130. Please contact
Verilink for availability and pricing information.
About FrameStart Technology

10/100 Ethernet
NOTICE: For information on pinout assignments for this connector, refer to
Supervisory Port Pin Assignments on page A-10. See Ordering
Information on page A-6 for information on cables for this connector.
The Supervisory port performs several different functions. It serves as the
VT100 interface port, providing VT100 screens. It also supports asynchronous
PPP, providing access to the Web Server interface. In addition, the
Supervisory port is an asynchronous data port. Data is encapsulated in frame
relay packets and then transmitted through the Network port.
On power-up, the Supervisory port sends out diagnostic messages at the bit
rate of 115.2 kbps until the Supervisory service acquires the Supervisory port.
These diagnostic messages can disrupt the connected device; however, you
can configure the unit to disable their transmission.
NOTICE: A null modem (crossover) cable is required to connect a modem to the
Supervisory port.
The WANsuite 5160/5130 provides one 10/100 ETHERNET in terf ace . Th is
interface is an eight-pin modular jack that complies with standard
twisted-pair, 10/100Base-T requirements. The 10/100Base-T cable is supplied
by the end user. Refer to Ethernet Connection Pin Assignments on page A-9
for pin assignments and cable descriptions.
Ethernet LED Indicators
There are two unlabeled indicator LEDs on either side of the
10/100 ETHERNET jack. The LED on the left side of the jack pulses amber to
indicate da ta activ ity (eith er trans mit or re ceive). The L ED on th e righ t side of
the jack lights green to indicate that the link layer is operational.
Serial Interface(s)
The two SERIAL interfaces on the 5160 and the single SERIAL interfa ce on
the 5130 located on the rear of the units are multi-protocol interfaces
presented physically as DB-25 connections. The protocols supported by these
interfaces are RS-232, EIA-530, and V.35.
Optional cables that adapt the DB-25 interface to the 34-pin V.35 interface
are available. These cables are listed under Optional Equipment on page A- 6.
DB-25–to –DB-25 cables are al so available if your instal lation needs require
them. See Ordering Information on page A-6 for details. Pin assignments for
the Serial interface are als o listed in Appendi x A, Specifications.

ERVER INTERFACE
The WANsuite 5160/5130 has an innovative, embedded Web-based user
interface (WANsight) for remote configuration and real-time reporting via
Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.0 or higher. Access to the Web server interface
and how the interface is used to configure the WANsuite 5160/5130 unit are
described in detail below.
NOTICE: Verilink recommends the use of Microsoft’s Internet Explorer 5.0 or
higher because if you use other Internet browsers to access the Web
server interface , some screen elemen ts will not disp lay as describe d in
this manual.
NOTICE: The material presented in this chapter follows the order listed in the
Configuration through the VT100 interface is covered in Chapter 4, and
configuration through the front panel is covered in Chapter 5.
Web Server Access
You can access the Web Server interface by connecting to its IP address. This
connection can be directly through the 10/100 Ethernet port, in-band via PPP
over any port, or in-band via encapsulated IP traffic on the Frame Relay
circuit.
NOTICE: Any changes to the unit’s configuration MUST be followed by a
navigation bar on t he left side of the Web Server interface screen.
However, because the parameters you specify in the Service Table
attach proto cols to inter faces , you m ust c onfig ure t he Serv ice Table
first. (See S ervic es Scr een on page 3-19.) You will not be able to
allocate channels (see Channel Table Details Screen on page 3-26)
until the Service Table has been configured.
“Submit” if there is a “Submit” button on the menu. If you
change the Service Table, you must perform a “Save and
Restart.”
Web Server Interface3-1
To access the Web Server interface, type th e unit’s IP address in the
browser’s Address (or Location) field and press the “Enter” key.
Layout of Interface Screens
When you first access the Web Server interface, your browser will display a
screen that is divided into three frames. The upper frame forms a border
across the top of the screen; it identifies the Verilink unit in service and
displays the hardware and software revision and serial numbers under which
the unit is operating. The far right corner of the upper frame displays whether
or not a “Save an d Restar t” is nece ssary when param eters are change d on the
currently displayed screen.
The area beneath the upper frame is divided into two side-by-side frames. The
frame on the left side of t his area d epicts a hierarch ical “tree” structure used
to navigate through the various interface screens. Each “branch” on the tree
guides you to more specific upper-level information about the unit and its
configuration. Note that the Interfaces, Applications, and Utilities branches do
not link to a page − these branches simply provide structure for navigation.
The frame on the right side of the screen will display the actual configuration
or display screen. The screen captures throughout this chapter show only the
configurat ion/displa y portion of the s creen, ex cept in th e case of the Uni t
screen, which shows all three frames. The Unit screen represents the top of
the navigation tree.
Unit Screen
The Unit screen shown in Figure 3.1 is the first screen displayed by your
unit’s Web Server interface. The Unit screen for the WANsuite 5130 is very
similar to the 5160, with the exception being that the 5130 has one Network

Error Status and Alarm Thresholds Table
The unit can be programmed to generate an alarm condition based on a
specific level of performance degradation. The Network screens present a
table that provides current error status and alarm threshold information.
Acceptable alarm thresholds are set for periods 15 minutes (900 seconds) and
sampled every second. The error types listed in the following paragraphs can
be preset to a value between 0 and 900 seconds. Setting a field to “0” (zero)
disables the alarm on that statistic. To effectively disable alarm reporting, set
all fields to “0” (ze ro).
The 15-minute time frame is not based on the TR 54016 or T1.403 interval
boundaries, but is a time window based on the accumulated counts over the
previous fifteen 1-minute intervals. In all cases, if the number of actual
network errored seconds in the previous 15 minutes reaches the preset
threshold for the specified error type, an alarm condition is declared.
The four columns o f the s tatus tab le are as follows:
• Status Displays the current status of the network port.
• Alarm Displays the alarm value of the network port. The unit
• CountDisplays t he numb er of eve nts or o ccurrence s of this statistic
• ThresholdA read/write field that can be set to a desirable threshold.
The table provides error sta tus and alarm thre shold in formation f or the

Serial Screens
The Serial 1 and Serial 2 screens on the WANsuite 5160 or Serial screen on
the WANsuite 5130 let you view and make changes to the unit’s Serial
interface configuration as described below. The parameters on all Serial
screens are the same except for the Invert Clock parameter, which is found
only on the Serial 2 screen; therefore, the WANsuite 5160 Serial 2 screen
(Figure 3.9) is the only one shown below.

Values: V.35, RS-232, EIA-530
Default: V.35
NOTICE: V.35 requires the use of an optional cable. Refer to Optional Equipment
on page A-6 for ordering information.
By default, the Serial port serves as a DCE port in both Packet and TDM
modes. However, the Serial port can serve as a DTE port when the unit is in
Packet m ode.
If the Serial port connects to a DTE device (such as a FRAD or a router), the
Mode parameter must be set to “DCE.” If this port connects to a DCE device
(such as a DSU/CSU), this parameter must be set to “DTE” (valid only for
Packet m ode, not T DM).
Values: DCE, DTE
Default: DCE
NOTICE: DTE mode requires the use of an optional DTE cable. Refer to
Appendix A for ordering information.
Packet Rate
If the port is running in Packet mode, the Rate must be configured to the
desired port speed (in bits per second). In TDM mode, the port speed rate will
be set by configuring the next four parameters (Start Channel, Number of
Channels, Bundling, and Channel Rate).
Values: Nx56K or Nx64K where N = 1-32
Default: 1536 kbps
3-12WANsuite 5160/5130
Bundling
Selects whether the DTE channel assignment is made as a “Contiguous”
group or as “Alternate” channels. Selecting “Alternate” ensures ones density.
Because the unit allows individual channels to be configured for a service, a
value of “Arbitrary” will be returne d for this parame ter if the current channel
allocation is not contiguous or Alternate. The “Arbitrary” value can only be
supplied by the unit − it cannot be set by the user.
NOTICE: Because “Alternate” Bundling assigns every other channel, only half
the channels are available.
Start Channel
Number of Channels
Channel Rate
Invert Clock
Selects the starting channel in the 24-channel DS1 bit stream. Starting with
the specified channel, the unit automatically assigns the channels that follow.
Values: 1 through 24
Default: 1
Specifies the number of channels to be assigned to the DTE.
Values: 0 through 24
Default: 24 Channel Rate
The unit can operate at any data rate that is a multiple of 56 or 64 kbps. If
“Νx64K” is selected, the ones density requirements of the T1 network line
must be ensured . If “Νx56K” is selected, ones density for the selected DS0
channel is maintained.
Values: Nx56K, Nx64K
Default: Nx64K
NOTICE: Start Channel, Number of Channels, and Channel Rate cannot be
changed if Bundling is not also changed from “Arbitrary.”
In DTE Packet mode, this parameter changes the clock edge of the
transmitted data. The Invert Clock parameter is only available for use in DTE
mode, and DTE mode is only available for the Serial 2 port. Consequently,
this configuration option only works for the Serial 2 port, and should remain
disabled when configuring services for the Serial 1 port.
Values: Disable, Enable
Default: Disable
Character Size
Tx Clock
Selects the number of bits required to make up one asynchronous character.
Values: Five, Six, Seven, Eight
Default: Eight

Default: None
Selects the number of bits required to end the character.
Values: 1, 2
Default: 1
The Local Loopback parameter can be set to “Enable” or “Disable.” Selecting
“Enable” allows the unit to go into Local Loop when the LL pin on the
Serial 1 port goes high. The unit exits the loop when the LL pin goes low. If
you select “Disable,” the unit ignores the LL pin on the Serial port.
Values: Disable, Enable
Default: Disable
Selecting “Enable” allows the unit to respond to in-band V.54 loop codes. If
you select “Disable,” the unit ignores these codes.
Values: Disable, Enable
Default: Disable
CTS
The Clear T o Send p arameter can be set to “Forced Tr ue,” “For ced Fal se,” or
“Internal.” If this parameter is set to “Internal,” the CTS control lead follows
the RTS control lead from the DTE after a delay of a duration established by
the RTS/CTS Delay parameter.
Values: Forced True, Forced False, Internal
Default: Fo rced Tru e
DSR
Data Set Ready can be set to “Forced True,” “Forced False,” or “Internal.”
The “Internal” option sets DSR “On” if the port is enabled and “Off” if the
port is disabled.
Values: Forced True, Forced False, Internal
Default: Fo rced Tru e
DCD
The Data Carrier D etect p arameter ca n be se t to “Forc ed True ,” “Forced

is being received from the remote end, and is “Off” when network carrier is
not being recei ved from the far end.
Values: Forced True, Forced False, Internal
Default: Fo rced Tru e
RTS
RTS/CTS Delay
Flow Control
The Request To Send parameter determines the source from which the unit
reads the RTS signal status. If set to “Normal,” the unit gets RTS from the
DTE on the Serial interface. If set to “Forced True,” RTS is always perceived
as “On.”
Values: Normal, Forced True
Default: Normal
The Request To Send/Clear To Send parameter determines how long the unit
waits before it changes the level of CTS to match RTS when the CTS
parameter is set to “Internal.”
Values: Normal (~30 ms delay), Long (~100 ms delay)
Default: Normal
Selects the type of flow control to be used if the port is asynchronous.
Values: None, Xon/Xoff, RTS/CTS
Default: None
Current Pin Status
The Current Pin Status, which shows the state of the RS-232 pins, is also
displayed on the Serial interface screens.
DTR Alarm Control and Status Table
In addition to the configurable fields, the Serial screen displays a table that
lets you set the Data Terminal Ready (DTR) Alarm Control parameters and
view the c urrent DT R Alarm Statu s.
Choices for DTR Alarm Control are “Enable” and “Disable”; the default
setting is “Disable.” Setting DTR Alarm Control to “Enable” allows the unit
to go into alarm on a loss of DTR, which occurs when the Serial port detects
that the D TR s ignal is low . Th e DTR Stat us fi eld indi cates the cu rrent state o f

If this service is conn ected to a Frame Relay net work, the Interface Type
should be set to “UNI” as it is the user side of a User-to-Network interface. If
it is connected to a FRAD/Router, the Interface Type should be set to “NI” as
it is the network side of a User-to-Network interface. If it is connected to an
equipment set for Network-to-Network interface, the Interface Type should be
set to “NNI.”
Values: UNI, NI, NNI
Default: UNI if interface is Network, NI if interface is Serial
This parameter should be set to the link management used by the equipment
connected to it. If set to “Auto,” the unit will learn the link management type
and display it on the status portion of this screen.
Once it discovers the link management type, the unit should be set to the
discovered value so that subsequent unit or network re-initialization will be
faster.
If Auto Diagnostic is set to “Yes,” the unit will discard received frames that
are larger than the maximum frame size. If Auto Diagnostic is set to “No,”
these large received frames will be sent, but will be counted in the Rx Invalid

Default: 4
T1
This parameter specifies the number of seconds the unit waits between issuing
status inquiry messages.
Values: 5–30
Default: 10
RFC1315 Trap
Normal Tx Queue Size
When this parameter is set to “Enable,” the unit will send the standard
RFC1315 frame relay DTE circuit state change trap every time a DLCI
changes state, provided at least one destination IP address for trap is
configured in the SNMP configuration.
Values: Disable, Enable
Default: Disable
Each Frame Relay service has two distinct transmit queues: one for normalpriority traffic and one for high-priority traffic. At this time, only SCADA and
TCP Server traffic are considered high-priority and are placed in the highpriority queue. All other types of traffic are placed in the normal-priority
queue.
This parameter defines how many normal priority frames can be put in front
of a high-priority frame. The sofware always checks for high-priority frames
before placing normal-priority frames in the transmit queue. However, once
the frames are in the hardware transmit queue, their order of transmission
cannot be changed.
If SCADA and/or TCP Server are not up, set this parameter to 28 (the
default). If SCADA and/or TCP Server are up, set this parameter according to
the SCADA host system’s ability to support higher latency. For example, if a
SCADA host system has a timeout of 500 ms when polling remote devices
through a DDS Fr ame Rel ay servic e, the No rmal Tx Q ueue S ize param eter
should be set to 2. This would allow two 1500-byte IP frames to be sent
Web Server Interface3-29
between SCADA frames without reaching the 500-ms limit. If the SCADA
host application has a timeout lower than 500 ms, this parameter should be set
to 1. This then ensures a minimum latency for SCADA applications.
However, it will slow IP traffic since only one IP frame at a time can be
placed in the hardw are transmit queu e.
Default CIR (bps)
Default Be Rate (bps)
Enforce CIR and Be
This is the Committed Information Rate (in bits per second) provided by your
frame relay service provider. The unit will apply this value to each DLCI
learned from the network side to gather statistics and to perform CIR
enforcem ent, if req uired. If a DLCI i s configu red with a CIR different from
the default, the DLCI configuration will be used instead.
Values: 0–1536000
Default: 0
This is the Excess Burst Rate (in bits per second) provided by your frame
relay service provider. The unit will apply this value to each DLCI learned
from the network side to gather statistics and to perform CIR enforcement, if
required. If a DLCI is configured with a different Excess Burst from the
default, the DLCI configuration will be used instead.
Values: 0–1536000
Default: 0
If this parameter is set to “Yes,” the unit will enforce Committed Information
Rate and E xcess Burst.
Values: No, Yes
Default: No
NOTICE: The Auto Diagnostic parameter must be set to “Yes” to enforce CIR and
Be.
Management DLCI
If there is a DLCI entered (and submitted) in this field, it will be the only
DLCI that looks for in-band management packets. If a value of “0” (zero) is
entered in this field, all DLCIs will look for management packets.
Management Auto IP
DLCI
If this parameter is set to “Yes,” the unit will monitor the specified
management DLCI for 5 pings over 5 seconds, after which the unit uses the
destination address as its management IP address.
FrameStart Auto
Diagnostic
When this parameter is set to “Yes,” the unit will always source LMI on both
sides of the frame relay connection. The unit will dynamically learn the type
of link management used on each side of the connection (Network and
Serial).
When set to “No,” the unit will monitor LMI between the Serial and the
Network port. If one side of the connection goes down, it will source LMI
until the connection goes back up, and will automatically go back to Monitor
mode once both sides are up. In Monitor mode, the unit will switch all frames
received between the network and the serial port regardless of the number of
DLCIs o r frame si ze.
3-30WANsuite 5160/5130
FrameStart Auto Diagnostic mode should be left set to “Yes” unless the frame
relay connection has more that 128 DLCIs, or if there is a very high traffic
rate on a constant basis.
Values: No, Yes
Default: Yes
NOTICE: If either side of the Frame Relay connection goes down, you will be
unable to remotely access any connected units.
FrameStart Auto
Discovery
Round T rip Delay Size
(bytes)
Round T rip Delay Rate
(secs)
When this parameter is set to “Yes,” the unit will send FrameStart discovery
and delay frames to each DLCI it learns as soon as the DLCIs are set active.
This is required to calculate round trip delay as well as to discover remote
WANsuite 5160/5130/FST/FSD units. This parameter should be set to “Yes”
only on network services that have a WANsuite 5160/5130/FST/FSD at the
far end of the frame relay connection. Also if set to “Yes,” the unit will gather
SLA parameters such as frame and data delivery ratio as defined in the Frame
Relay Forum Implementation, FRF.13. Those gathered statistics are then
displayed on the DLCI Statistics screen as shown on page 3-49.
Values: No, Yes
Default: No
Specifies the frame size (in bytes) of packets making the round-trip.
Specifies the rate (in seconds) at which Round Trip Delay packets are sent.

all DLCIs from the Network side and relay that information on the Serial side
with default values.
The Endpoint Table and its corresponding DLCIs will be saved in the
configuration database only after at least one endpoint parameter has been
changed and submitted in the Endpoint Details screen (page 3-42).
NOTICE: The Endpoint Table and its corresponding DLCIs will be saved in the
configuration database only after at least one endpoint parameter has
been changed and submitted in the Endpoint Details Screen on
page 3-43. When in IP Gateway, if you decide to use a “discovered”
endpoint, you must rename it. A discovered endpoint cannot be used
elsewhere (i.e., IP Gateway) until it has been renamed. Also, it will not
be saved in the configuration database.
NOTICE: Endpoint names of the form PPP-Sn and SCADA-Sn are reserved by the
system. These system-generated endpoints cannot be modified.

IP Gateway Details Screen
The IP Gateway is a feature of the WANsuite 5160/5130 that allows routing
of IP packets from one network to another using static routes configuration
and/or dynamic routing. The IP Gateway uses Routing Information Protocol
(RIP) 1 or RIP 2 or Open Shortest Path First (OSPF) routing.
RIP 1 and RIP 2 are protocols that allow exchange of routing information
between two routers. With that information exchange, a router can build its
own routing tables that later can be used for “routing” IP packets.
OSPF is a shortest path first (SPF) or link-state protocol. OSPF is also an
internal gateway protocol (IGP) that distributes routing information between
routers in a single autonomous system (AS). OSPF chooses the least cost path
as the be st path.
While RIP is ideal for small- to medium-sized networks, OSPF is more
suitable for complex networks with a large number of routers. OSPF provides
equal cost multipath routing where packets to a single destination can be sent
via more than one interface simultaneously.
The IP Gateway also supports unnumbered networks. An unnumbered
network is a point-to-point connection without an assigned IP address This
feature reduces the number of IP addresses required.
Globally enables the trusted neighbors feature. If there is a list of trusted
neighbors in an IP Gateway, only RIP packets coming from those trusted
neighbors will be used to build the internal routing table.
Values: Enable, Disable
Default: Enable
Interval for RIP packet to be sent. Default is 30 seconds.
Value representing the RIP domain. Default is 0.
OSPF Parameters
Globally enables OSPF.
Values: Disable, Enable
Default: Disable
This 32-bit number assigned to each router running the OSPF protocol
uniquely identifies the router within an Autonomous System. Each router
requires a unique router ID. Default is the LAN IP address of the unit.
