NTRODUCTION
This chapter introduces the Verilink 8000 Series integrated access devices
(IADs) and describes their hardware and software.
As competition in the telecommunications market intensifies, carriers find
themselves under growing pressure to reduce network costs and deliver
differentiated, highly competitive services. In response to this challenge,
Verilink provides a family of IADs that incorporates the capabilities of
multiple networking devices capable of supporting multiple networking
protocols such as TDM, Frame Relay, and ATM, and multiple applications
such as the integration of voice/data and high-speed internet access. By
consolidating multiple network devices, converging multiple services, and
moving intelligence to the network’s edge, Verilink’s 8000 Series IADs lower
requirements for capital equipment, minimize operational expenditures, and
maximize carriers’ profits. Using the Verilink Series 8000 IADs to integrate
legacy networks into evolving infrastructures, service providers can now also
enable budget-constrained customers to leverage the power of wide-area
communications for competitive advantage. In particular, these new services
allow SMBs, often lacking the resources to install and manage multiple
communications devices, to compete effectively with their larger counterparts
in the global marketplace.
The 8000 IADs are access devices that terminate a network WAN, and
provide the end user with the ability to send and receive both voice calls and
data transmissions via a single connection. The network WAN connection
may be either T1, E1, SDSL, ADSL, or SHDSL. The High POTS Port models
have from 12 to 24 POTS ports that have metal housing and a Universal
Serial Int erface (US I). The L ow PO TS Port m odels have from 4 to 8 P OTS
ports that provide service via individual RJ-11 ports. Low POTS Port models
are encased in a plastic housing. All models are equipped with a
10/100Base-T Ethernet interface with integrated routing protocols and
functionality.
The built-in flexibility of the 8000 Series, supporting emerging protocols such
as MGCP and SIP, enables the IAD to evolve with the network, and provides
an easily managed, cost-effective migration to VoIP.
8000 Series IADs provides a single unit solution that can support VoATM
and VoIP applications in a single unit. The 8208s, 8216s, and 8224s also
T he “s” version of the
Introduction1-1
support TDM. This provides the user with CPE investment protection,
reduced inventory and training requirements, as well as a built-in migration
path from TDM or VoATM to VoIP by a simple reconfiguration of the unit.
No costly truck rolls or forklift upgrades are required.
The Verilink IADs are ideal for service providers, offering small businesses or
home offices high-quality voice and data service over broadband circuits. The
8000 Series supports any POTS device via a voice subsystem, and any
IP-based computer system (Ethernet printers; personal computers, including
Windows, Macintosh, Unix, Linux, etc.; network file servers, and other
network devices via a LAN subsystem.

Quick Start Guide2-1
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, 8000 Series 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 Console Port Pin Assignments (DB-9) on page B-6 for console port specifications) to set the IP
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.
2-28000 Series
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

Basic IAD Configuration
Each IAD is shipped with a default configuration set in the file default.st.
Once you make any changes to your IAD, a new file is created to store the
new configuration—config.st—to preserve the your settings.
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
custom 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.
you made changes to the configuration that require resetting the IAD,
be sure to do so before exiting.
• Configure the LAN IP address, if not already completed (page 2-6).
• Configure each of the WAN options and the DSLAM profile (page 4-2 and
the pages following 4-1).
• Create and confi gure at least one DLCI (page 4-31) or PVC (page 4-24) for
data traffic and set the WAN IP add re ss (p age 2-6).
• Configure static or default route (page 4-42) or enable bridging (page 4-53)
for all data traffic.

configured by the service provider.
When you’ve completed this section, reset the IAD so it can synchronize
these physical connections.
Quick Start Guide2-11
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
receiver automatically detects the type of Ethernet cable
(customer-supplied).
WAN Connections
WAN connections vary, based on the WAN interface on your IAD. The 8308
is an SDSL-equipped IAD and uses an RJ-11 connector to connect to the rear
panel WAN connection. To make the connection, plug the SDSL cable into
the RJ-11 WAN connector. (Refer to page B-6.) The 8208 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.
Telephone Connections
The 8000 Series IADs provide eight RJ-11 ports for POTS devices. These
devices may be POTS telephones, modems, FAX machines, or other
POTS-compatible devices.
Life Line Connection
The IADs have an RJ-11 Life Line associated with the POTS line. (Refer to
the table b elow.) T he Life L ine is a n analog l ine that can be directly
connected to the PSTN. In case of power loss or loss of voice gateway
connection, the designated POTS line automatically switches to the Life Line
connection.

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

Defining Different SNMP Version 3 Categories
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.
Administration3-9
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.

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.
Administration3-11
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 WAN 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 4-5.
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).
Upgrading via TFTP
If your TFTP Server is not running, start it now and note the IP address of the
computer it is running on. To upgrade the IAD software, follow the steps
below.
1On the Main menu, type “9” to display the Utilities menu (see Figure 2.2).

6Type the IP address of the TFTP Server and press Enter.
As file transfer progresses, the IAD reports the status of each file being
copied. Two files − acos.bin and boot.bin − will only be copied if they match
the platform to guard against loading incorrect system files onto an IAD.
NOTICE: If the IAD cannot locate the first file to download (typically
Upon completion, the IAD reports the success or failure of each file transfer,
and then reports the completion of file transfer and resets.

NOTICE: When the IAD prompts you for input, it displays the default or current
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 Defaults on page 3-16).
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.
You may configure the IAD to use DHCP and load its operating configuration
from the TFTP server specified by the DHCP server. To do this, follow the
steps below.
1Configure the DHCP Client (page 4-90).
2Save System Settings as defaults, answering “Yes” when prompted to have
the defaulted IAD obtain its con figuration from the TFTP server.
Configuration4-1
3Set System Defaults to the Custom defaults setting.
4Reboot the IAD.
The config.st file will be read and used to set up the DHCP client. Once the
DHCP server has responded, the IAD will use its LAN MAC address to
obtain a file named MAC-address.cfg from the TFTP server specified in the
information returned by the DHCP server. This file will be used as the
operating configuration file and the IAD will reboot once in order to use the
file. If the IAD is rebooted once again, it will go through the DHCP process
again and load the operating configuration again from the TFTP server.
WAN Configuration
Basic WAN Setup Tasks
The IAD WAN can be configured for ATM, Frame Relay, or HDLC
protocols, depending on the interface. (Refer to the flowchart in Figure 4.1.)
The T1/E1 and SDSL interfaces support ATM, Frame Relay, and HDLC. The
ADSL and SHDSL interfaces support ATM only. The USI interface supports
Frame Relay and HDLC. To set up the IAD for voice and data operation, you
must first perform these basic tasks listed below:
• Configure the WAN interface for your IAD (page 4-5)
• Select ATM or Frame Relay as the datal ink protocol (page 4-4)
• For ATM protocol, configure ATM PVCs (page 4-24) and ATM options
(page 4-30)
• For Frame Relay protoc ol, configure Frame Relay DLCIs (page 4-31) and
Frame Relay options (page 4-34)
• Configure the voice path (page 4-61).

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. (Refer to Voice Path Configuration on page 4-60.)
The high-port IADs also have a Universal Serial Interface (USI) port. Menus
for the USI port are included on the high-port IADs’ WAN configuration
menus.
