Quick Start Guide 2-1
NOTICE: Verilink suggests you keep the shipping container and packing material
for future storage or shipping of the unit.

Installing the IAD

After you unpack the IAD, find a suitable location to install the unit. Ideal locations include a computer equipment room or a telephone or wiring closet. You can locate the IAD on a table or shelf, or it may be wall-mounted. Install the IAD in a location that is generally protected and where it will be undisturbed.

AC Power and Uninterruptible Power Supply

The IAD requires access to AC power (NEMA 15-3R). Make sure the IAD is located within 6 ft of an AC power outlet. Locate the nearest power outlet and plug in the supplied AC power adapter or AC power cord. If there is an uninterruptible power supply on premises, plug the AC power adapter or cord into that p ower so urce.
Ensure the power cord conveniently and safely reaches the rear panel of the IAD whe re the po wer plug or adapt er jack is located.
NOTICE: Do not attach the AC power adapter or power up the unit at this time.

Clearance Requirements

When you install the IAD horizontally, make sure you maintain at least 2 inches of horizontal distance from other IADs or other electronic equipment to ensure adequate ventilation and heat dissipation.
NOTICE: Due to generated heat, 7200p/7500p IADs should not be stacked on top
of each other.

Wiring Requirements

Make sure the telephone wiring, LAN, and WAN cables reach the IAD and can be dressed in a manner that is safe for the wiring, does not pull or create lateral stress on the connectors or ports on the rear of the IAD, and does not present a trip hazard to personnel working in the vicinity of the equipment. Do not connect any cables or wiring at this time.

Connecting the IAD Via a Terminal Emulator

The IAD is configured and managed from either the console or Ethernet port. A Telnet session is usually used to access the IAD via Ethernet. After you use a terminal emulator program via the console port (refer to DB-9 Console Port Pin Assignments on page 6 for console port specifications) to set the IP
2-2 7000 Series (7200p/7500p)
address, you may continue to use a terminal emulator via the console port. The factory-set default IP address is
192.168.1.254 for the Ethernet port.
NOTICE: After a period of inactivity (3 min by default), the IAD automatically
terminates console-based and Telnet sessions to maintain security. To change this value, see Configure Console Timeout on page 3-15.
Before you can connect to the IAD via Telnet, make sure the IP address is set correctly for this network by following these steps:
Connect the IAD to a PC
Log in to the IAD
Set th e IP add re ss
Each of these steps is described in detail below.
NOTICE: Ensure the IAD and PC are both powered OFF before connecting the
console cable. If both devices are not turned off when you connect the cables, you may place the IAD in an unstable state, and you may need to reset one or both devices before you can perform configuration tasks.
Connecting the IAD to a PC
To connect the IAD to a PC via the console port, follow the steps below.
1 Turn off both devices and insert the male connector of a DB9 serial cable
into the console port on the IAD.
2 Insert the female connector of the cable into a serial (COM) port on your
PC.
WARNING: For Ground Start applications, ensure the IAD is properly grounded. Refer to
Figu re 2.1.

3 With the console cable connected, plug the AC power adapter into the IAD.
This starts the IAD, and it executes the boot process to begin normal operation. Verify that the Power indicator on the front pa nel illuminates.
NOTICE: For “cold start” access, the IAD default (factory-set) IP address is
192.168.1.254 on the Ethernet side.
NOTICE: As the IAD boots, it sends status messages to the console port. If you
are connected, you will see the boot sequence progress.
NOTICE: This unit should be installed by qualified service personnel only, and
must be connected to a socket outlet with protective earthing connection.
Logging in via a Terminal Emulation Program
With a serial cable connected, follow the steps below to log in to the IAD:
1 Open a terminal emulatio n program (Hypertermin al, for example). 2 Select the COM port to which the IAD is connected.

NOTICE: When you configure the IAD, you must restart the IAD each time you
change the settings for those changes to take effect. You may make several configuration changes before resetting.
If you plan to use Telnet for configuration tasks (Connecting via Telnet on page 2-9), this is a good time to disconnect the serial cable from the PC and IAD.

Setting the WAN Port IP Address

To set the WAN port IP address, follow the same procedures as those listed in Setting the Ethernet Port IP Address on page 2-6.

Resetting the IAD

Many configuration tasks require that you reset (or restart) the IAD before the new settings or configuration will take effect. When you use the menu interface (or the Command Line Interface - Chapter 6, Command Line Interface) to make changes, or change the physical characteristics of the IAD (such as the Ethernet port MAC address), you must reset the IAD.
The IAD stores all configuration settings in memory. When it restarts, it loads the last configuration saved before it was powered down or restarted. When restarting is required, it will be included as a step in the configuration process.
You can reset the IAD in one of the two following ways: To reset the IAD from the menu:
1 On the Main menu, type “R” to select Reset System. 2 Type “R” again at the prompt. This resets and starts the IAD with your
new settings.
3 To log in again, enter your user ID and password.
To reset the IAD manually, unplug the power adapter from the IAD and then plug it back in.

Menus in the IAD configur ation sys tem are ar ranged hierarch ically. Th at is, you select single-key options to navigate down to display specialized menus and specific tasks, and press the Escape key successively to return back to menus higher in the interface.
The specific menus, submenus, and commands that display depend on the interfaces for the specific IAD, the options configured, and the security level you use to log in.
To select a menu item, type the option displayed to the left of the item. Although character options are displayed in upper case, the IAD accepts both upper- and lower-case options. It is not necessary to press Enter after typing the selection the IAD immediately responds with a request for input or another menu for more options.
For a hierarchical map of the Main menu, its menus and commands, see Appendix A.
When the IAD requests input for a setting or configuration value, type it at the prompt. Press the Enter key to terminate the input and proceed to the next step. The IAD responds with error messages if a value is incorrect, or it displays the current menu so you can continue with related tasks.
The IAD displays a default or current value in parentheses immediately to the right of ea ch mess age, just t o the le ft of the command prompt . To acc ept this value, press the Enter key.
For example, when the prompt asking you to enter a new Subnet mask displays, you may press Enter to cause the IAD to set Subnet Mask value. Using the Enter key to skip through default or current values often speeds the process of proceeding through a family of input steps to more quickly reach the input step where you wish to change a value.
Exiting the Menu

you made changes to the configuration that require resetting the IAD, be sure to do so before exiting.
2-10 7000 Series (7200p/7500p)
After you have configured the IAD for correct operation in a customer’s premises, the current system settings in the config.st file may be saved as the default configuration file (custdef.st), and you may choose to set the IAD to boot from this file each time it is reset. You may also copy this file to a PC or TFTP server for downloading to other identically configured IADs. Once you have replaced the original custdef.st file, you cannot retrieve it. Consider copying the custdef.st file to a safe location before replacing it.
To perform basic IAD configuration, follow the steps below.
NOTICE: Only the 7200p supports DLCIs in the WAN configuration.
Configure the LAN IP address, if not already completed (page 2-6).
Configure each of the WAN options and the DSLAM profile (page 4-1 and
the pages following 4-1).
Create and confi gure at least one DLCI (page 4-23) or PVC (page 4-15) for
data traffic and set the WAN IP add re ss (p age 2-6).
Configure static or default route (page 4-29) or enable bridging (page 4-46)
for all data traffic.
Create and configure a DCLI (page 4-23) or PVC (page 4-15) for voice
where required, and select appropriate voice gateway settin gs (page 4-54).
Reset the IAD (page 2-8) to enable all configuration changes.
NOTICE: You must reset the IAD after configuring IP addresses before you may
add routes.

Connecting LAN, WAN, and Telephones

This section details how to connect the IAD to the computer and telephone systems the IAD is intended to support.
Before proceeding, make sure you have an appropriate serial cable for your PC, identify the LAN switching equipment where you’ll connect the IAD, identify the telephone cables, and verify that WAN service is installed and configured by the service provider.
When you’ve completed this section, reset the IAD so it can synchronize these physical connections.
Ethernet LAN Connection
The Ethernet LAN port on the rear of the IAD is an RJ-45 jack for 10/100Base-T Ethernet cables. If the IAD is intended to act as an Internet gateway for the LAN in the customer’s premises, connect the IAD to the switch, hub, or router using an Ethernet straight-through cable.
NOTICE: You may temporarily connect the IAD directly to a PC for Telnet
configuration (without going through a hub or router). The Ethernet
Quick Start Guide 2-11
receiver automatically detects the type of Ethernet cable (customer-supplied).
WAN Connections
WAN connections vary, based on the WAN interface on your IAD. The 7500p is an SHDSL-equipped IAD and uses an RJ-11 connector to connect to the rear panel WAN connection. To make the connection, plug the SHDSL cable into the RJ-11 WAN connector. (Refer to page B-6.) The 7200p is a T1/E1-equipped IAD and uses an RJ-48 connector on the IAD rear panel for WAN connection. To make the connection, plug the cable from the ATM network into the RJ-45 WAN connector. Refer to page B-6 to see the pinouts for the T1/E1 connection.
USI Connection
If your IAD is equipped with a USI port, you may connect it now. Located on the rear panel, the port uses a shielded, DB25 connector. The connector is DCE data is transmitted on the receive pin and received on the transmit pin. The V.35 and EIA-530 interfaces use different voltage levels. You must supply the appropriate cable for each interface. Refer to Appendix B for pinout connections.

Confirming Proper Setup

When you have completed the tasks in this chapter, reset the IAD and test your configuration for proper data and voice operation. Reset the IAD (page 2-8) to synchronize the physical connections using the verification procedure described in Figure 8.

IAD Security

NOTICE: After setting IAD Security pa rameters, you m ust reset the IAD
(page 2-8) for the new settings to take effect.
To maintain IAD security, the IAD provides multi-level login access using a single user ID and password, which you can set at the following levels:
User
Network Administr ator
Supervisor
The user ID at the User secu rity level ma y be modified , but the user ID at the Network Administrator and Supervisor levels may not.
The password for each security level may be changed. Although you may use the same password for all security levels, Verilink recommends that you use a different one for each level. The table below lists the privileges available at each secur ity level.
Administration 3-1
Security level Privileges
Supervisor This user level is the highest level. Users who log in as
Supervisor have full access to all IAD features (menu and command line interface , including changing User security level, user ID, and any level passwords, plus complete IAD configuration capability.
Network Administrator At this level, users may perform tas ks that alter the
network settings of the IAD, pl us are abl e to acces s to all data networking conf iguration menus, and ca n update routing and bridging information and status. This user can change the password at this leve l, and also can change the User-level User ID and password, and can access all display-only menus.
At this level, users user cannot modify WAN or LAN settings, alt er derived timing, use the Command Line Interface, or modify voicepath settings.
User At this level, the user has access to displ ay-only menus,
and can view the current configuration, interfa ce, and media statistics, routing and bridging information, and status. The user may ch ange this level User ID and password, but cannot make or save any changes to the configuration of the IAD.
To maintain IAD security, a user with Supervisor privileges should modify the User security level user ID and passwords for both User level and Network Administrator level prior to placing the IAD into production.
The table below lists the default values for the user IDs and passwords:
Security Level User ID Password
User <Enter> <Enter> Network
Administrator Supervisor Supervisor supervisor
The user ID and password may contain up to 17 alphanumeric characters. These values are case sensitive; spaces and punctuation characters are not allowed.
The IAD can store only one user ID and password at each security level.

Including User IDs and Passwords in Config Files for Multiple Site Distribution
If you create master configuration files for distribution to multiple IADs, you may include the user ID and passwords directly in the configuration file to reduce configuration tasks.
NOTICE: When the user ID and passwords are stored in a configuration file, the
IAD saves the configuration file immediately upon rebooting, without requiring the log-in process. The user ID and passwords are stripped from the configuration file before saving to prevent a security risk.
Using a text editor, update the config file by adding the following attributes in the [user] category:
userid={string} password={string} netman-password={string} support-password={string}
The password parameter is for User-level access, the “netman” password is for Network-Administrator-level access, and the “supervisor” password is for Superviso r-level access.

To exit, deliberately enter an incorrect password at the confirmation step, or reset the IAD.
RADIUS Server Settings
You can use a RADIUS Server to determine the validity of unknown user ID/password pairs in your IAD. Verilink does not provide a RADIUS Server; the user must provide a RADIUS Server to use this feature. For more information on RADIUS Server, see RFC 2865.
If you co nfigure a RADIU S Server, the IAD must b e able to succes sfully connect to the RADIUS Server. This requires WAN configuration, IP configuration, static or default routes, and other configurations for your network. Additionally, you must use a RADIUS-authenticated user ID/password for Telnet access. If the RADIUS Server becomes inoperative, Telnet access will not work.
To use a RADIUS Server, set the following options:
Change the primary or secondar y RADIUS Server Address
Change the primary or secondar y RADIUS Server Encryption Secret

Defining Different SNMP Version 3 Categories
SNMP is supported via Internet Protocol (IP) and the Loop Emulation System Embedded Operation Channel (LESEOC). The LESEOC interface is only available with either the AAL2/LES CAS or ELCP voice gateway. This interface allows the voice gateway to monitor and control specific IAD operational parameters.
NOTICE: Some voice gateways with this feature require a read-write community
name of LESEOC to be configured in the IAD.
The SNMP Configuration menu is accessible from the Main menu. You may enable SNMP via IP, EOC, or both. Traps may be sent to a configurable IP address, the EOC, or both. The System Contact, System Name, and System Location may also be con figured. T hese valu es are acc essible via the R FC 1213 MIB.
SNMP 3.0 requires the configuration of six data structures on the SNMP 3.0 menu (Figure 3.3), which is accessible from the SNMP Configuration menu. Menu options are available to configure a default set of structures, which will allow SNMP 1.0 or SNMP 3.0. Choose Option 3 on the SNMP 3.0 Configuration menu to set a simple default configuration.
Administration 3-9
Figure 3.3
SNMP V3 Configurat ion Me nu
Two SNMP “community entries” are generated: public (read-only community), and a read-write community. Since a read-only community of public is the default for all SNMP implementations, you are encouraged to reconfigure the first community entry to a more secure value.
The “targ et entries” specify who may access the IAD via SNM P. The first entry, named “everyone,” allows access from the entire Internet. Entries are added if an IP trap host is configured, or if EOC access is configured. For example, if you want only IP addresses 1.2.3.0 through 1.2.3.255 to have SNMP access to the IAD, you will reconfigure the target entry with the address of 1.2.3.0, and the mask 255.255.255.0. Note EOC access is specified by the reserved IP address 255.255.255.255.
The “group entries” specify which version of SNMP to allow: 1.0 or 3.0 (user security m odel).
The “acc ess entry” specifi es which v ersion of SNMP to allow, the sec urity level (MD5 authorization encryption), and which views are accessible.
The “view entry” specifies which portion of the MIB is accessible or not accessible. For exa mple, it is possible to cre ate a view to allow access t o the ATM Forum LES MIB from the EOC, and allow the entire MIB to be accessible from an I P locatio n.
The “user entry” applies to SNMP 3.0 only. This is where you configure the MD5 authorization encryption password.

NOTICE: Full duplex Ethernet operation is controlled by the switch. If the switch
is set to full duplex, you may enable it in the IAD. If you enable full-duplex Ethernet in the IAD when the switch is operating in normal half-duplex mode, your IAD will not communicate on the LAN.
You can display the current LAN settings using the Display Current Configuration command in the Reports menu (page 5-1).

Upgrading the System

Periodically, Verilink may provide new software that you will download to the IAD to upgrad e the sys tem. You must u se TFTP t o perform the f ile transfer when upgrading the entire system.
Administration 3-11
NOTICE: Some gateways directly support file transfer as a means of upgrading
IADs. For information, refer to the Voice Gateway manufacturer’s operating manual.
To use TFTP, you must configure both the IAD and the computer that contains the TFTP Server program, a program for the computer that you license separately.

Using TFTP Servers via LAN or WAN

Before the IAD can access a LAN or Intranet-based TFTP server, you must configure the IP address of the Ethernet port (page 2-6) on the same subnet as your TFTP server, and the IAD must be connected to the LAN.
To access a WAN-based server, you must configure the T/E1 or SHDSL Interface with a management DLCI or PVC and a WAN IP address. For information about setting the IP address of the WAN port, see Setting the WAN Port IP Address on page 2-8 or WAN Configuration Menu on page 4-4.

Copying the Source Files

Typically, you will receive two ZIP files (a core ZIP file and an application ZIP file) for each upgrade.
First, extract each file into a single directory on your PC. Then, set the directory as the path that the TFTP Server will use to send files to the IAD (often identified as upload/download or outbound directory).

value in parentheses. To conveniently accept this value, just press Enter.
NOTICE: You must reset the IAD (refer to page 2-8) for configuration changes to
take effect.

Managing Configuration Files

Each IAD is shipped with a factory default configuration set in the file default.st. Once you make any changes to your IAD, a new file (config.st) is created to store the new configuration.
After you have configured the IAD for correct operation in a customer’s premises , the curre nt system settings in the c onfig.st file may b e saved as the custom default configuration file (refer to Set System Default on page 3-14). You may also copy this file to a PC or TFTP server for downloading to other identically configured IADs. Once you have copied over the custom default file (custdef.st), you cannot retrieve it. You should consider copying the
custdef.st file to a safe location before replac ing it.

Basic WAN Setup Tasks

To set up the IAD for voice and data operation, you must first perform the basic tasks listed below. WAN setup tasks depend on the IAD model and on the specified datalink protocol:
Configure the WAN interface for your IAD (page 4-4)
Select ATM or Frame Relay as the datal ink protocol (page 4-3)
For ATM protocol, configure ATM PVCs (page 4-16) and ATM options
(page 4-21)
For Frame Relay protoc ol, configure Frame Relay DLCIs (page 4-23) and
Frame Relay options (page 4-26)
Configure the voice path (page 4-51).
Use the flowchart below to plan your tasks for configuring either SHDSL (7500p) or T1/E1 (7200p).

Identifying the WAN Interface and Datalink Protocol

The sections you’ll refer to in this manual for WAN configuration depend on the IAD model and the datalink protocol you choose.
Voice and data traffic are each carried in their own PVCs (ATM protocol) or DLCIs (Frame Relay protocol). You may define up to eight PVCs or DLCIs for voice and data.
For a voice circuit , a single PVC or DLCI can carry the voice traffic for all voice ports on the IAD. The 7000 Series IADs also have a Universal Serial Interface (USI) port, menus for which are included on the WAN configuration menu.
First, identify your IAD and datalink protocol using the information listed in the tables below. T hen, perfo rm the tasks as directed.

Router Configuration

This section describes how to configure the IAD as a router. You may configure the IAD as a router or a bridge, depending on your application.
Optionally, you may also configure some ports for routing and some ports for bridging. For example, you might use a bridge connection for Internet traffic and use a separate routed port for remote management. Alternatively, you can configure the bridge port on the WAN side with IPoBridge to use the bridged connection for remote management. Refer to Basic Bridge Setup Tasks on page 4-43.
A router is a network layer device that uses one or more metrics to determine the optimal path along which network traffic should be forwarded. Routers forward packets from one network to another based on network layer information.
A router generally improves overall efficiency for a complex network, but a bridge provides better speed and flexibility for the overall network.

Basic Router Setup Tasks

To configure the IAD as a router, complete the following tasks:
Configure IP addresses on the LAN and WAN ports (page 4-31)
Enable RIP poisone d reverse (recommended) (page 4-35), add a static route
(page 4-33), or add a default route (page 4-34)
Configuration 4-29
Disable bridging globally (page 4-46) or by port (page 4-46)
Disable Spanning Tree Protocol (Spanning Tree) globally (page 4-47) or by
port (page 4-48)
Use the flowchart below to plan your tasks, based on your router configuration requirements.

IP Filtering lets you specify rules for handling data packets transitioning an interface. Based on a set of rules, packets can be passed or blocked when entering or leav ing an interface.
IP Filtering is one part of creating a Firewall to protect local networks from undesirab le access.
NOTICE: Please refer to the Applications Notes on IP Filtering found in
Appendix C for the general information and syntax needed to program the fi lter.
NOTICE: Because each packet must be tested against one or more filters, IP
filtering may significantly affect IAD performance.

Bridge Configuration

This section describes how to configure the IAD as a bridge. A bridge is a device that connects and passes packets between two network segments that use the same communications protocol. A router generally improves overall efficiency for a complex network, but a bridge provides better speed and flexibility for the overall network.
host ID
specified gateway
4-42 7000 Series (7200p/7500p)
NOTICE: Verilink recommends that bridged network architecture be thoroughly
understood prior to configuring the IAD. Suggested reading: “Interconnections: Bridges and Routers” by Radia Perlman, Addison­Wesley, 1992.
Bridges operate at the data link layer (Layer 2) of the OSI reference model. In general, a bridge filters, forwards, or floods an incoming frame based on the MAC address of that frame.

Basic Bridge Setup Tasks

Although the IAD is preconfigured with bridging enabled, you should perform these tasks for your network:
Enable bridging globally (page 4-46) or by port (page 4-46)
Set the bridge aging timer (page 4-47)
Disable RIP poisone d reverse globally (page 4-35) or by port (page 4-35)
Enable Spanning Tree globally (page 4-47) or by port (page 4-48)
Use the flowchart below to plan your tasks, based on your requirements.

Bridge Configuration Menu

Configuring the IAD as a bridge involves several tasks, all of which are displayed and accessed on the Bridge Configuration menu, displayed by typing “3” on the Main menu (Figure 2.2).
4-44 7000 Series (7200p/7500p)
Figure 4.53
Bridge Configuration Menu
You may sign on as Supervisor or Network Manager to configure the IAD as a bridge. Options that display in the Bridge Configuration menu are the same for both security levels.
NOTICE: Be sure to reset the IAD when you have finished making changes to
Bridge configuration. Resetting the IAD causes the configuration changes to take effect.
Enabling and Disabling Bridging
For bridging to function correctly, you must enable bridging by port and then set the bridge aging timer. At least two ports must be enabled for bridging to function. You must also disable RIP poisoned reverse. The order in which you perform the procedures is irrelevant.
To enable routing globally, you must disable bridging globally. However, you may enable routing on some ports and bridging on others, depending on your requirements.
NOTICE: When bridging is disabled globally or on an interface (port) or an IP
address is unconfigured, IP Over Bridge is disabled automatically.
IP Over Bridging
IP Over Bridging is intended for use when the IAD is in full bridged mode, and remot e acc ess (T elne t) and /or us er aut hent icatio n (R ADIUS) are r equ ired.
To implement IP Over Bridging, enable bridging globally and by port (as described in the paragraphs below) on the WAN connection (at least one DLCI/PVC must be configured), and assign an IP address to the WAN interface. When these conditions have been met (either in Routing or Bridging configuration), the IAD will prompt you to enable or disable IP Over
Configuration 4-45
Bridging. When the IP address is unconfigured, IP Over Bridging is disabled automatically. The IAD will also prompt you to enable or disable IP Over Bridging when bridging is being enabled on an interface that already has an IP address assigned.
When an IP address is unconfigured or when bridging is disabled globally or on an interface (port), IP Over Bridging is disable automatically.
When IP O ver Bri dging is en abled , the IAD e xamines all Ether net packe ts that have its MAC address as a destination. The ARP packets and IP packets with a des tination I P addres s that is assigne d to an in terface on the IAD are processed as IP packets normally are, including ARP resolution. All other packets are processed in the usual way that a bridge processes them.
When the IAD should send an IP packet out (for example, in response to a ping, or RADIUS authentication), the ARP resolution is performed in a manner similar to the way it’s accomplished on Ethernet. If the destination Mac address is not known, the ARP broadcast request is sent to all interfaces. The interface tha t receives the reply is used to se nd the actual IP packet.
NOTICE: When using IP Over Bridging with CopperMountain HDIA or
CopperVPN, the default route for the IP interface should be specified using the IP addre ss of the router, rather than a WAN port number.
Enable/Disable Bridging Globally
To enable or disable bridging globally, follow the steps below.
1 On the Bridge Configuration menu (Figure 4.53), type “G” to display the
status of bridging and a prompt to enable or disable Bridging globally.
2 Type “E” to enable bridging globally, or “D” to disable it globa lly. The
IAD saves the configurati on and displays the Bridge Configuration menu (Figure 4.53).
3 Continue with other configuration tasks, or press Escape to return to the
Bridge Configuration menu.
Enable/Disable Bridging by Port
To enable or disable bridging by port, follow the steps below:
1 Type “P” on the Bridge Configuration (Figure 4.53) menu to select Enable/
Disable Bridging by Port. The IAD displays the interfaces availabl e on this IAD as shown in Figure 4.44.
2 Type the number of the interface for which you want to enable bridging.
The IAD displays a port table and prompts you to select the por t.
3 Type the number of the port. The IAD displays the status of br idgi ng on this
interface and port, and prompts you to enable or disable it.
4 Type “E” to enable bridging on this port, or “D” to disable it. The IAD
updates the configuration and displays the Bridge Configur ation menu (Figure 4.53).
