Preface

Congratulations on your purchase of the AES-100 ADSL-Ethernet Switch.

This preface introduces you to the AES-100 and discusses the organization and conventions of this user’s guide. It also provides information on other related documentation.

About the AES-100

The AES-100 is an ADSL (Asymmetrical Digital Subscriber Line) to Ethernet switch. It allows you to multiplex traffic from up to 16 ADSL lines to an Ethernet network before it is forwarded to the Internet.

General Syntax Conventions

“Enter” means for you to type one or more characters and press the carriage return. “Select” or “Choose” means for you to select one from the predefined choices.

Getting to Know the AES-100

This chapter describes the key features, benefits and applications of your AES-100.

The AES-100 is an ADSL (Asymmetrical Digital Subscriber Line) to Ethernet switch. It aggregates traffic from up to 16 ADSL lines to Ethernet.

ADSL allows the coexistence of broadband data service and conventional voice service over the same telephone wire. When deployed together with ZyXEL’s ADSL modems, for instance the P642M, and WAN routers, like the P1400, the combination forms an integrated solution for providing broadband services to multiple tenant units such as apartments, hotels, offices and campus buildings.

1.1 Features

Two-Slot Chassis

The AES-100 has two slots for the ADSL to Ethernet multiplexer modules. This design provides the flexibility for you to install as few as a single module for the initial deployment and yet still has room to grow as demand increases.

8-Port ADSL to Ethernet Multiplexer Modules

Each ADSL to Ethernet multiplexer module aggregates traffic from 8 lines to an Ethernet port.

Integrated Splitters

The integrated splitters eliminate the need to use external splitters to separate voice-band and ADSL signals.

10/100 Mbps Auto-sensing Ethernet Port

This 10/100 Mbps auto-sensing Ethernet port connects the AES-100 to an Ethernet network. With Ethernet as the backbone, you can create a network that provides ADSL service to hundreds of subscribers.

AES-100 User’s Guide

IEEE 802.1Q Tagged VLAN

Your AES-100 uses the IEEE 802.1Q Tagged VLAN (Virtual Local Area Network) which allows your device to deliver tagged/untagged packets to and from its ports. The AES-100 supports up to 255 VLANs and the maximum VLAN ID 4094.

IEEE 802.1p Priority

IEEE 802.1p Priority gives your AES-100 the ability to regenerate priority changes for ports.

Fast Mode

The AES-100’s fast mode makes use of the “tag” subset of the IEEE 802.1Q standard to identify the source port of a frame and speed traffic through a service gateway.

MAC (Media Access Control) Filtering

Use MACfilter commands to filter incoming packets based on MAC (Media Access Control) address(es) that you specify. You may enable/disable specific ports. You may specify up to five MAC addresses per port.

Secured Host

Allow up to ten remote hosts to access your AES-100 via IP addresses you specify.

System Error Logging

The system error log will record error logs locally to the AES-100 memory. These logs may be viewed again after a warm restart.

UNIX Syslog Logging

Use UNIX syslog commands to send logs to your UNIX server.

1.2 Benefits

1.2.1 MTU Application

The following diagram depicts a typical application of the AES-100 is in a large residential building, or multiple tenant unit (MTU), that leverages the existing phone line wiring to provide Internet access to all tenants.

A tenant connects a computer to the phone line in a unit using an ADSL modem. The other end of the phone line is connected to a port on the AES-100. The AES-100 aggregates the traffic from the tenants to the Ethernet port and forwards it to a router. The router then routes the traffic further to the Internet. The following diagram shows the installation environment for an MTU Application.

Figure 1-1 MTU Application

Getting to Know the AES-100 1-3

AES-100 User’s Guide

1.2.2 ISP Application

The AES-100 can also be used by an Internet Service Provider (ISP) as an IP DSLAM. The AES-100 terminates all of the ADSL ATM circuits and converts the traffic to IP packets. All IP traffic goes directly to the ISP’s internal Ethernet network, before being routed to the Internet. The following diagram is an example of the AES-100 in an ISP Application.

Figure 1-2 ISP Application

1.2.3 Compact Design for Limited Space

The AES-100 occupies only 1.5 U of standard Telco rack space. Its compactness is perfect for collocation (installation in a central office) and basement installation. Because the AES-100 has built-in POTS splitters, service providers do not have to allocate extra space for POTS splitter shelves.

1.2.4 Scalable Platform for Future Expansion

The flexible design of the AES-100 series allows service providers to start with minimum cost. As the number of users and applications increases additional AES-100s can be added to provide greater bandwidth.

System Commands

This section describes basic configuration and system-related commands.

4.1 Command Line Interface (CI)

The AES-100 uses text command lines as the user interface for software configuration. Before discussing the details of configuration, the rules of the commands are listed next.

The command keywords are in regular courier font.

1. The command keywords must be entered exactly as shown, that is, no abbreviations are allowed.

2. The required fields in a command are enclosed in angle brackets (<>), for instance,

list port <port #>

means that you must specify the port number for this command.

3. The optional fields in a command are enclosed in square brackets ([]), for instance,

config [save]

means that the field save is optional.

4. “Command” refers to a command used in the command line interface (CI command).

Using commands not documented in the user’s guide can damage the unit and possibly render it unusable.

4.2 Console Connection

For the initial configuration, you must use the console port. After the initial setup, you can telnet to the system and perform additional management tasks. Connect the RS-232 cable to the console port of the ADSL Networking Module. Connect the other end to a serial port (COM1, COM2 or other COM port) of your computer.

You can use any terminal emulation program (Windows’ built-in HyperTerminal for example) with the following parameters:

• VT100 terminal emulation

• 9600 bps

• No parity, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit

• No flow control

4.3 Command Structure

The system uses a two-level command structure. The commands related to one subsystem are grouped under a primary command of that subsystem, for instance, to configure the ADSL parameters, you must first enter the ADSL subsystem by entering the adsl command. When you are in a subsystem, the system reminds you by including the subsystem name in the command prompt, for example,

192.168.1.1 adsl>

To get back to the top level prompt from a subsystem, use the home command.

The remainder of this user’s guide describes CI Commands that are helpful for configuring network

modules.

4.3.1 Help Facility

The system includes a help facility to provide you with online assistance.

• You can issue the help or ? command at any time. The system will display a list of available commands in

response.

• You can issue

192.168.1.1> help version

yields

version - show system software version

The system responds with a description of the version command.

help with a command name to get more details about it, for instance, the command

4.3.2 Saving Your Configuration

Always remember to save your configuration using the following syntax:

192.168.1.1> config save

This command saves all system configurations into nonvolatile memory. You must use this command to save any configurations that you make, otherwise the AES-100 will return to its default settings when it is restarted.

Do not turn off your AES-100 while saving your configuration.

4.4 Commonly Used Commands

This section shows you commonly used commands.

4.4.1 Uptime Command

Syntax:

192.168.1.1> uptime

This command shows the elapsed time the system has been running since the last reboot.

4.4.2 Version Command

Syntax:

192.168.1.1> version

This command shows the system firmware version and date

4.4.3 Restart Command

Syntax:

4-2 System Commands

AES-100 User’s Guide

192.168.1.1> restart

This command instructs the system to perform a warm start, that is, restarting the system without turning the power off and on.

4.4.4 Passwd Command

Syntax:

192.168.1.1> passwd

This command changes the management password. The management password is used for authentication at console or Telnet login. This command is only allowed for local console management sessions. The management password must be from 1 to 8 characters long and any character is accepted. The factory default password is “1234”.

It is very important that you remember your password. If you forget it, refer to the Troubleshooting section

for help.

4.4.5 Config Print Command

Syntax:

192.168.1.1> config print

This command lists all current system configuration settings.

4.4.6 Exit Command

Syntax:

192.168.1.1> exit

This command terminates the console or telnet management session.

4.5 Sys Commands

4.5.1 Info Command

Syntax:

192.168.1.1 sys> info

This command displays system related information.

4.5.2 Set Name Command

Syntax:

192.168.1.1 sys> set name <name>
