Local Management
This manual covers Local Management configuration of the CyberSWITCH CSX400,
CSX400-DC, and CSX500; and HSIM-W6 and HSIM-W84, as these devices share common component interfaces.
IMPORTANT NOTICE
This manual covers version 02.01.XX or greater, until superseded by a later version manual. For devices running version 01.XX.XX, please refer to the previous manual, part number 9032672-02.
This image adds ISDN backup support to the CSX400 and the automatic call backup support for the WPIM-S/T. A major feature of V 2.01.XX FW is the additional mode in Frame Relay so each
DLCI can be a MIB II interface. The RFC for Frame Relay DTEs (RFC 2115) is fully supported. The latest version of the ANSI Frame Relay specification is fully supported (ANSI T1-617D 1994). This also changes the FR MIB LMI type to ANSI 1994. Version 2.01.XX also supports RIP2, and the
“show” command in MIB Navigation has been updated.
This chapter explains how to access and manage an HSIM or CyberSWITCH and its attached
segments through a TELNET connection. WAN Configuration is explained in Chapter 2
.
A working knowledge of network operations and an understanding of management applications is a prerequisite to using Cabletron Systems Local Management.
NOTE
The phrase “HSIM or CyberSWITCH” is used in this document to refer to any of the host platforms listed above. In specific cases, the proper name of the host platform is used when referring to something that is particular to that host platform.

WAN Features
WAN Features
Some of the WAN features are listed and explained here, while others can be found in the
QuickSET Configuration Guide , which can be found on the QuickSET CD, or on the Cabletron
Systems web site for the manuals.
WAN Protocols
The HSIM or CyberSWITCH interface supports ISDN BRI, which encapsulates PPP. For more information, refer to the host platform manual and the Release Notes included with the host platform for a list of current supported protocols.
ISDN BRI is a switched Data Link layer control protocol that uses digital signaling to place a call into an ISDN network. Once the call is made, PPP is then used to transfer data.
PPP is a Data Link layer, industry-standard WAN protocol, used to transfer multi-protocol data traffic over point-to-point connections. With this protocol, options such as security, data compression, and network protocols can be negotiated over the connection.
Frame Relay is a packet-switching data communications protocol that statistically multiplexes many data conversations over a single transmission link. Data compression allows Frame Relay to negotiate compression over Frame Relay PVCs.
ISDN
ISDN provides inexpensive switched digital access to remote sites. The ISDN BRI standard provides for two high-speed 64-Kbps bearer (B) channels used for voice or data connections and one 16-Kbps signaling data (D) channel used for call setup, signaling, and other information.
ISDN allows all types of information to be transmitted including voice, data, fax, and video.
Multiple devices can be linked to a single ISDN connection, each having their own telephone number. Two or more channels can be combined into a single larger transmission pipe offering variable transmission speeds.
ISDN Call Backup
The ISDN call backup feature provides a backup link for a remote site or branch office when one or more primary WAN interfaces for a frame relay circuit or a nailed-up PPP connection fails. The
WPIM-S/T can serve as the backup medium for this primary connection, using the ISDN interfaces to backup any primary interfaces that have been configured for ISDN call backup.
Local Management User’s Guide 1-3
Local Management
The following are reasons to use ISDN call backup:
• Hardware failure of a nailed-up PPP connection
• line failure
Use call backup if either of the following conditions exist when using Frame Relay:
• DLCI circuit fails to connect in a predetermined amount of time.
• DLCI goes inactive.
The following is one circumstance in which it might not be advisable to use call backup:
• When going point-to-multipoint, setting backup on the head-end side is not recommended. If any DLCI fails, the backup would be activated. This may be cost prohibitive.

In Call Backup topology, two channels are connected, but one of them is a Switched Virtual
Circuit (SVC) that is only activated upon failure of the primary channel. The primary channel is a
Permanent Virtual Circuit (PVC) running Frame Relay or PPP. The Backup channel is either
ISDN BRI or PPP.
Table 1-1 shows the supported configurations at the initial release of the call backup feature.

Local Management Overview
Spoofing
The concept of mimicking correct responses to keep level requests alive at the local end of a temporarily broken connection is called connection (or call) spoofing. Call spoofing saves connect time charges by allowing the call to be disconnected without causing the NOS to time-out the client/host connection. It also enhances data throughput by keeping the line clear of these network administration packets.

Local Management Overview
Cabletron Systems Local Management is a management tool that allows a network manager to perform the following tasks:
Configure interconnected devices to form a network.
Monitor the performance of the network.
Control user access to the network and its components for the purpose of security.
Management Agent
The management agent is a process within the HSIM or CyberSWITCH that collects information about the operational performance of the managed network. Local Management communicates with the management agent for the purpose of issuing management commands to network devices.
Local vs. Remote Management
Network management applications can be defined as either local or remote applications. A Local
Management application resides within the HSIM or CyberSWITCH management agent and is accessible via a TELNET connection through either the EPIM port, or HSIM port of the device.
Remote management applications such as Cabletron Systems SPECTRUM, SPECTRUM
Element Manager, or QuickSET run in another device that provides management services. This allows you to perform network management and configuration from a remote location.

Establishing a TELNET Connection
The HSIM or CyberSWITCH is shipped with a temporary IP Address of 192.168.254.254 so that your computer can communicate with it over your Local Area Network (LAN) through a TELNET connection. However, to establish a TELNET connection, your computer must be on the same subnet as the HSIM or CyberSWITCH. Cabletron Systems recommends that you assign a temporary IP Address of 192.168.254.253 to your computer to ensure that both devices are on the same subnet. TELNET connections to the host device require the community name passwords assigned at the SNMP Community Names screen or if you are doing an initial configuration, you can use the default password public.
NOTE
See the instructions included with the TELNET application for information about establishing a TELNET session.

Subnet Mask — This field displays the default Subnet Mask, and allows you to enter a new value for the Subnet Mask if necessary. Subnets are logical divisions of the network that isolate groups of devices. A subnet mask “masks out” the network bits of the IP address by setting the bits in the mask to 1 when the network treats the corresponding bits in the IP address as part of the network or subnetwork address, or to 0 if the corresponding bit identifies the host. The default subnet mask uses the first two portions of the IP address to identify the net id, leaving the rest of the IP address to identify specific nodes.
• When the management workstations designated to receive SNMP traps reside on the same network as the HSIM or CyberSWITCH, use the Subnet Mask default setting for the IP address entered on the System Level screen.
• Set a new value for the Subnet Mask when the management workstations designated to receive
SNMP traps reside on a different subnet (for example, across a gateway or router).
To set a Subnet Mask, refer to
Phys Address — This field displays the physical address of the HSIM or CyberSWITCH. You cannot modify the physical address.
Default Gateway — Use this field to enter the IP address for the Default Gateway, intended for bridging only mode. For routing use a default route entry in your routing table. This field contains the IP address of the device to which all packets addressed to an unknown network or host are sent.
The HSIM or CyberSWITCH relies on a Default Gateway to provide the routes to destinations that are not listed in its own IP Forwarding Table, and to forward SNMP traps to a management station.
Default Interface — Use this field to select the default interface for the HSIM or CyberSWITCH
Default Gateway, intended for bridging only mode. For routing use a default route entry in your routing table. The default interface is the channel which is set up to handle SNMP traps sent to an
IP station that is not on the same subnet as the HSIM or CyberSWITCH in an IP routed environment. The default setting for this field is NONE DEFINED. To set the default interface for the Default Gateway of the HSIM or CyberSWITCH, refer to

To configure the UDP Broadcast Redirector, complete the following steps:
1.
Use the arrow keys to highlight the UDP Port option under System Level Setup.
2.
Enter the UDP port number of the UDP service request packets that you want to redirect (refer to

The entry for the UDP Port option reflects the UDP port number that is currently selected. The entry for UDP Type names the UDP service to which that port number corresponds.
Enabling Proxy ARP on a Port
By default, Proxy Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) is disabled on all ports, and IP Routing
Services respond only to ARP requests addressed to its own IP address.
For one IP host to communicate with another IP host, knowledge of the target host’s MAC address must be known. To learn this MAC address, the IP host sends an ARP request packet as a LAN broadcast with the destination IP address of the target IP host. All hosts receive this broadcast and the one host that matches the target IP address responds with its MAC-layer address.
However, because each subnet constitutes a separate broadcast domain and LAN broadcasts are not forwarded across routers, ARP does not work beyond a host’s local network or subnetwork.
One of the primary purposes of a router is to confine LAN broadcast traffic to each local network or subnetwork.
Local Management User’s Guide 1-39
Local Management
A proxy ARP response is generated when the following occurs:
• Proxy ARP is enabled on a router port.
• An ARP request is received as a LAN broadcast (looking for the MAC-layer address of an IP host on another network segment).
• An entry exists in the IP Forwarding Table for the destination host’s network.
Enabling Proxy ARP on a router port allows IP hosts to dynamically obtain the MAC-layer address of other IP hosts attached to different networks or subnetworks by using broadcast ARP request packets. With Proxy ARP enabled, IP hosts are not required to maintain knowledge of specific subnetworks.
To enable Proxy ARP on a router port, complete the following steps:
1.
Use the arrow keys to highlight the Proxy ARP option.
2.
Use the ENTER key to toggle the entry to ENABLED.
3.
Use the arrow keys to highlight the SAVE command field at the bottom of the screen, and then press ENTER. The message “SAVED OK” displays.
Configuring the Network Broadcast Type on a Port
IP Routing Services recognizes and accepts network broadcasts, IP packets with the host portion of the IP address as either all 1’s or all 0’s. Other networking devices only recognize all 0’s as a network broadcast.
To configure IP Routing Services to send network broadcasts addressed to all 0’s, complete the following steps:
1.
Use the arrow keys to highlight the Network Bcast option.
2.
Use the ENTER key to toggle the entry to ZEROS.
3.
Use the arrow keys to highlight the SAVE command field at the bottom of the screen and then press ENTER. The message “SAVED OK” displays.
IP RIP
Routing Information Protocol (RIP) is a widely implemented routing protocol that is used extensively on IP internetworks. IP Routing Services uses the RIP routing protocol to send and gather information about the internetwork topology. This information is used to construct and maintain a database called RIP Route Table, which contains the addresses of the available routes to all the networks and hosts that RIP has learned.
1-40 Local Management User’s Guide
IP Configuration Screen
Enabling the RIP routing protocol allows IP Routing Services to build and maintain a dynamic database of route information. The best routes learned by the RIP routing protocol are added to the
IP Forwarding Table to forward IP packets. The ability to switch the RIP routing protocol on and off on a port-by-port basis provides great flexibility. On the same device, some router ports can be running the RIP routing protocol while other router ports are not. If necessary, you can temporarily disable the RIP routing protocol on any port without affecting the rest of your configuration.
RIP-2
The following definitions compare and contrast some of the features of the RIP-1 and RIP-2 protocols.
RIP-1 vs. RIP-2 — A comparison of the features of RIP-1 and RIP-2 protocols (excerpted from
RFC 1722, and RFC 2080) follows:
RIP-2 is essentially an extension of RIP-1; it is not a new protocol. It is a superset of the environments in which RIP-1 has been traditionally used. It should be noted that RIP-2 is not intended to be a substitute for OSPF (Open Shortest Path First) protocol in large autonomous systems. The restrictions on autonomous system diameter and complexity which applied to RIP-1 also apply to RIP-2.
Subnet Masks — RIP-2 allows the smaller, simpler, distance-vector protocol to be used in environments that require authentication or the use of variable length subnet masks, but are not of a size or complexity that requires the use of the larger, more complex link-state OSPF protocol.
The original impetus behind the creation of RIP-2 was the desire to include subnet masks in the routing information exchanged by RIP, as this was not included in the original definition of RIP. As long as the subnet mask was fixed for a network, and well known by all the nodes on that network, a heuristic could be used to determine if a route was a subnet route or a host route.
The inclusion of the subnet mask in RIP-2 effectively creates a 64-bit address, which eliminates the network, subnet, and host distinction. Therefore the inclusion of a subnet mask in RIP-2 allows it to be used in an autonomous system which requires precise knowledge of the subnet mask for a given route, but does not otherwise require OSPF protocol.
Next Hop — Entries in RIP-2 routing tables always have a Next Hop field. The Next Hop is the
IPv6address of the next router along the path to the destination. The purpose of the Next Hop in the routing table is to prevent packets from being routed through extra hops in the system. The limitation of a maximum network diameter of 15 hops for the Next Hop field is common to both
RIP-1 and RIP-2. This statement of the limit assumes that a cost of 1 is used for each network (see
Metrics, below).
Local Management User’s Guide 1-41
Local Management
Metrics — The RIP-1 and RIP-2 protocols use fixed “metrics” to compare alternative routes. This is not appropriate where routes need to be chosen based on real-time parameters such as measured delay, reliability, or load. RIP is intended to allow routers to exchange information for computing routes through an IPv6-based network. Any router that uses RIP is assumed to have interfaces to one or more networks, otherwise it isn’t a router. These are referred to as directly connected networks.
The RIP protocol relies on access to certain information about each of these networks, the most important of which is its metric. This metric represents the total “cost” of getting a datagram from the router to that destination.
The routing table has the entries listed below for each destination that is reachable:
• The IPv6 prefix of the destination
• A metric, described above
• The IPv6 address of the next router along the path (the Next Hop)
• A flag to indicate the information about the route has changed recently
• Various timers associated with the route
Split Horizon — Split Horizon is an algorithm for avoiding problems caused by including routes in the updates sent to the gateway from which they were learned. The basic split horizon algorithm omits routes learned from one neighbor in updates sent to that neighbor.
Authentication — Authentication is a function of RIP-2 protocol only. It is not usually important to conceal the information in the routing messages, but it is essential to prevent the insertion of bogus routing information into the routers. Authentication prevents someone who cannot directly access the network (i.e., someone who cannot sniff the packets to determine the password) from inserting bogus routing information. Currently the authentication type is simple password and
MD5.
Multicasting — The RIP-2 protocol provides for the IP multicasting of periodic advertisements.
This feature was added to RIP-2 to decrease the load on systems that do not support RIP-2. It also provides a mechanism whereby RIP-1 routers will never receive RIP-2 routes. This feature is useful when the correct use of an advertised route depends on knowing the precise subnet mask, which would be ignored by a RIP-1 router.
1-42 Local Management User’s Guide
IP Configuration Screen
Compatibility Switch — A compatibility switch is necessary for two reasons. First, there are implementations of RIP-1 in the field that do not follow RFC1058, and second, the use of multicasting would prevent RIP-1 systems from receiving RIP-2 updates (which may be a desired feature in some cases). This switch is configurable on a “per-interface” basis.
The switch has four send settings:
• RIP-1, in which only RIP-1 messages are sent (and received)
• RIP-1 Compatible, in which RIP-2 messages are broadcast
• RIP-2, in which RIP-2 messages are multicast
• DON’T SEND, which disables the sending of all RIP messages
The receive control has four settings:
• RIP1, only accept RIP-1 messages
• RIP2, only accept RIP-2 messages
• RIP1/RIP2, accept both RIP-1 and RIP-2 messages
• DON’T RCV, do not accept any type of RIP messages
This control is also configurable on a “per-interface” basis.
If the router is not configured to authenticate RIP-2 messages, then RIP-1 and unauthenticated
RIP-2 messages will be accepted. Authenticated RIP-2 messages will be discarded. If the router is configured to authenticate RIP-2 messages, then RIP-1 messages and RIP-2 messages which pass authentication testing will be accepted. Unauthenticated and failed authentication RIP-2 messages shall be discarded.

IP OSPF Configuration
OSPF (Open Shortest Path First) is a Link-State Protocol. OSPF distributes routing information between routers belonging to a single Autonomous System (AS). In an Autonomous System, routers exchange routing information through a common routing protocol.
An Autonomous System may contain one or more networks, but each network within the AS may or may not support subnetting. Every OSPF routing domain must have a “Backbone”. An OSPF backbone distributes routing information between areas in an OSPF routing domain. The backbone of an OSPF routing domain is an OSPF area possessing an area ID of 0.0.0.0. Because
OSPF protocol only broadcasts link state updates when topology has changed, it is considered
“quiet” when compared to RIP protocol, which has to periodically send a portion, or all of its routing table to its neighbors.
Convergence (the time it takes to recalculate routing tables) under OSPF protocol is instantaneous and not periodic because of the use of IP Multicast to send the link-state updates. Updates are only sent when routing changes occur instead of periodically, ensuring better use of available bandwidth.
OSPF employs “flooding” to exchange link-states with other routers. Any change in routing information is flooded to all routers in the network. The use of “areas” puts a boundary on the explosion of link-state updates. All routers within an area will have the exact link-state database.

IPX Routing over Frame Relay
An additional step is required when routing IPX over Frame Relay. This step requires that entries are created in the IPX Host Map. The IPX Host Map is a database of remote IPX hosts that are defined generally by the WAN Network number and MAC Address, and more specifically by the
Interface Number and Data Link Connection Identifier (DLCI). The IPX Host Map helps a routing decision by determining which circuit a packet should be forwarded to in a point to multi-point
Frame Relay connection.
Figure 1-19 shows how IPX Host Map entries are entered using the circuitmap command. The
circuitmap command is accessed from the MIB Navigator Screen . Refer to
information on the circuitmap command.

Local Management
Enabling the IPX SAP Routing Protocol on a Port
IPX Source Advertisement Protocol (SAP) is used by IPX to exchange information about Novell service providing nodes, such as file servers and print servers that are available. IPX SAP builds and maintains a database, the Service Advertisement Table, containing the addresses and routes to specific service providing nodes, and advertises this information over the network.
Each router running IPX SAP gathers this LAN based information from the locally connected network segments and adds it to its Service Advertisement Table. Each table contains the Novell
Network Number and type of services available on all Novell servers known to the IPX SAP. IPX routing services uses this information to provide internetworked NetWare clients with access to these services.
To enable SAP Routing, complete the following steps:
1.
From the IPX Configuration screen, highlight IPX SAP and then press ENTER.

Enabling RIP on a Port
IPX RIP (Routing Information Protocol) is a widely implemented routing protocol that is used extensively on IPX intermediations. IPX Routing Services uses the RIP to send and gather information about the internetwork topology. This information is used to construct and maintain a database, called the RIP Route Table, containing the addresses and available routes to all the networks and hosts that RIP has learned.
Enabling RIP allows IPX Routing Services to build and maintain a dynamic database of route information. The best routes learned by RIP are added to the IPX Forwarding Table to be used to forward IPX packets. The ability to switch RIP on and off on a port-by-port basis provides great flexibility. On the same device, some router ports can be running RIP while other router ports are not. If necessary, you can temporarily disable RIP on any port without affecting the rest of your configuration.
To enable RIP Routing, complete the following steps:

This section describes the WAN Interface Configuration screen fields.
Interface Number (Modifiable) — Displays the active Interface Number. Use this field to configure the Interface Numbers assigned on the WAN Physical Configuration screen.
Max Xmit Unit (Modifiable) — User-configured field that displays the maximum packet size that can be transmitted on the selected Interface. Defaults are 1506 for PPP and 4095 for Frame Relay.
The default settings for this field depend on the Protocol Manager chosen.
2-10 Local Management User’s Guide
WAN Interface Configuration Screen
ProtMgrIface (Selectable) — Protocol Manager assigned for the interface number displayed. In the case of Frame Relay the Protocol Manager assigned to the FR link is automatically selected.
This allows for mapping FR DLCI(s) when the interface number field has a 000 typed into it. Type the DLCI address into the DLCI address field. Press the SPACE bar to display “Inactive” in the
Circuit State field, and then SAVE these changes.
Active Protocol (Read-Only) — Displays the active OSI layer protocol (Protocol Manager) chosen for the HSIM or CyberSWITCH. There is one set of parameters displayed for FR, and one set for PPP. Refer to the section titled
Frame Relay as the Protocol Manager
for information on the Active Protocol set to Frame Relay, and the section titled
PPP as the Protocol Manager for
PPP information.
Command and Interface Table Fields
SAVE (Command) — Saves the configuration changes.
PORTS: [1-32], [33-64], [65-96], [97-128] (Command) — Interface table displays the range of circuits shown in the command field. Use the SPACE bar and either the BACKSPACE or DELETE key to step through the displays.
RETURN (Command) — Returns user to the previous screen.
CKT# (Read-Only) — Displays the circuit number of the application ports available from the host platform. If the active protocol is PPP or FR PtoP, only one application port per interface number
(IF#) is assigned. If the active protocol is FR PtoMP, the available WAN ports from the host platform may be assigned, one per DLCI.
IF# (Read-Only) — port (CKT#).
Displays the MIB II Interface number that is associated with the application
LID (Read-Only) — Displays the Link Identifier. If the active protocol is Frame Relay, the Data
Link Connection Identifier is displayed. If the active protocol for this interface is PPP, then PPP displays in this field. For Ethernet ports, Enet is displayed.
STATE (Read-Only) — Displays the status of the application port. If the active protocol is Frame
Relay, this field displays the status as Active, Inactive, or Invalid (no LMI). If the active protocol is
PPP or Ethernet, this field displays the Link Control Protocol (LCP) state, either UP (active) or
DOWN (inactive). See PPP or FR commands within the MIB Navigator for more information on link status.
Local Management User’s Guide 2-11
WAN Configuration
Frame Relay as the Protocol Manager
Refer to Figure 2-3 for the following parameters displayed for FR.
NOTE
In FR PToMP mode, DLCI’s can be learned dynamically and do not need to be entered in the screen. Once a DLCI is entered, it becomes a “statically” entered DLCI.
To remove a statically-entered DLCI, enter the IF# of the DLCI (see the Interface
Screen), then enter “Invalid” into the Circuit State field, and then SAVE the changes.
FR LMI (Selectable) — Frame Relay Link Management Interface. Selectable states are based on the applicable RFC selections. The applicable switch type is chosen based on the switch type used by the Service Provider. The choices are: No LMI, T1.617-D, Q.933-A, and ANSI_94. The
NO LMI setting is for specialized applications in which no Frame Relay Link Management is available or required.
DLCI Address (Modifiable) — Data Link Connection Identifier given by the Service Provider. It is the PVC mapped index number of the connection identifier. The Telco switch assigns a virtual port to each DLCI. Can be set to values from 0-1023, depending on the protocol, when available for modification with certain protocol modes. The values 0-15 and 1008-1022 are reserved DLCI addresses. When using FR PtoMP as the Protocol Manager, the HSIM or CyberSWITCH can learn the DLCIs dynamically from the switch.
DLCI DCP En ( Toggle ) — The Data Compression Protocol (DCP) can be enabled or disabled in this field, on an application port per application port basis, when available. The DLCI port must be entered to change compression. Use the SPACE bar to toggle the field and ENTER to select either
On or Off.
DLCI DCP Stat ( Read-Only ) — Displays the current negotiated status of compression.
Comp Ratio ( Read-Only ) — Displays the Compression Ratio, which is the ratio of uncompressed to compressed data.
Circuit State (Selectable) — The field initially displays the state of the DLCI circuit, and can be modified. Steps through Active, Inactive and Invalid.

2-16 Local Management User’s Guide
Bandwidth-on-Demand (Multilink Protocol) Configuration
The fields for the BoD feature are described as follows:
Bandwidth-on-Demand (BoD) option — Specifies whether or not MP support is desired. To successfully negotiate MP, both devices must support MP. The default setting is DISABLE.
Line Utilization (LU) Threshold (LUT)% — Specifies a line utilization threshold (%) value to compare against the linear weighted percentage by which to determine when more or less bandwidth is to be added or removed. The default setting is 50.
History time in seconds to compute LU Avg. (LUA) — Specifies a time value in seconds over which the line utilization percentage is averaged by the linear weighted percentage algorithm. The
default setting is 5.
# of LUA computation(s) > LUT for when to add BW — Specifies the number of samples for which the condition for adding more bandwidth must persist before additional bandwidth is added.
This parameter is used to filter out traffic bursts. The value should be chosen such that the time it takes to add more bandwidth is less than the time the traffic will exceed the “line threshold”. This will avoid the additional cost of adding unnecessary bandwidth. The default setting is 1.
# of LUA computation(s) < LUT for when to remove BW — Specifies the number of seconds that the output has fallen below the line threshold before possible previously added additional bandwidth is removed. The default value is 5.
Maximum # of calls allowed including the 1st call — Specifies the maximum number of channels an MP call is allowed. The value accounts for the channel used to establish the original/ first link. The default setting is 1.
When modifying the “Maximum # of calls allowed” parameter, which accounts for the first call, a check is first made against the maximum profiles setting for that interface. Although the maximum possible value allowed is shown to be 20, the true maximum is the current maximum profiles setting for that interface (which cannot exceed 20).
# of calls to increase by — Specifies the incremental number of channels by which to increase additional bandwidth. Specifically, channels can be added in multiples. The default setting is 1.
# of calls to decrease by — Specifies the decremental number of channels by which to remove bandwidth. Specifically, channels can be removed in multiples. The default setting is 1.
Avg packet size used to determine when to fragment — Specifies the average packet size by which to determine when it is best to split a packet. This minimizes the amount of buffering necessary at the remote device to maintain packet sequentiality. The default setting is 260.
Local Management User’s Guide 2-17
WAN Configuration
Either side controls Bandwidth — Specifies whether or not bandwidth changes are permitted by either side, i.e., both parties. Normally only the caller controls the bandwidth. The default setting is DISABLE.

Configuration: Frame Relay
Frame Relay Physical Configuration
Begin the HSIM or CyberSWITCH physical configuration by accessing the WAN Physical
Configuration screen through Local Management (
). Proceed with the following steps:
1.
Use the arrow keys to highlight the [WPIM X] field at the bottom of the screen. Press the
SPACE bar to select the number of the WPIM to be configured, then press ENTER.
2.
Use the arrow keys to highlight the MgrType field. Configure the Protocol Manager Type as either Frame Relay Point to Multipoint (FR PtoMP), or Point to Point (FR PtoP).
FR PtoMP and FR PtoP are the two settings for Frame Relay. Frame Relay Point to Point has one
Interface per DLCI assigned when DLCIs are created by the Service Provider. In Frame Relay
Point to Multipoint, there is one interface to multiple DLCIs, and the DLCIs are dynamically learned. When backing Up a Frame Relay Primary circuit it is best to configure the Frame Relay protocol manager for Point to Point mode. If the Primary Frame Relay interface has only one
DLCI it can work in Point to Multi-Point mode.
The concept of a Manager for each configured protocol also exists. Each physical connection has one or more (more if a protocol is encapsulated, such as PPP encapsulated within ISDN) Protocol
Managers that control protocol operation.
Point to MultiPoint Configuration (LM WAN Physical Configuration)
1.
Set the MgrType to FR PtoMP.
2.
If more than 32 DLCIs are required, set the Max VCs value (up to a maximum of 125 on the
CSX400/HSIM-W6).
NOTE
The MAX VC value associated with a physical WAN interface is set to a default value based on the number of possible ports available and the protocol manager selected. If more PVCs/DLCIs exist than the default MAX VC value will allow, the MAX VCs may be changed.
3.
The next IF will display the value that should be entered into the timeslots, if T1 or E1. This should be done now.
4.
Configure any other required physical parameters for that interface. Such as: Sync Port Type, or clock speeds (Sync WPIM), T1 or E1 timeslot configurations etc. REMEMBER: if using the
Sync WPIM, always manually setup the Sync Clock Speeds to match the actual line configurations.
Local Management User’s Guide 2-25
WAN Configuration
Point to MultiPoint Configuration (LM WAN Interface Configuration) LMI Type
1.
If the LMI type required is ANSI T1-617 Annex D version 1994, no more configuration is needed. It is recommended that the box be reset after the DLCIs are known by the HSIM or
CyberSWITCH. The DLCIs will show up on the LM Interface screen when they are sent in
STATUS messages from the FR switch.
2.
If another selection is required this can be done by toggling the FR LMI (Link Mgt Protocol) field.
If you toggle the LMI type, all DLCI information will be removed.
NOTE
Point to MultiPoint Configuration (DLCI Address)
1.
If the DLCI LMI type is NO_LMI, or you wish to have STATIC DLCIs (that will not have information deleted when the switch does not send a report on them, or if QUICKSET configured the DLCIs), then you would add the DLCIs using this field.
2.
Type in the DLCI number you wish to use here, and arrow down to the Circuit State. Add the
DLCI in the inactive state (if NO_LMI it can be added in the active state) and SAVE. The DLCI will show up as a STATIC DLCI.
3.
If a switch is attached the DLCI should dynamically change state to active, and then data can be received and transmitted. In NO_LMI mode, the state must be changed manually.
4.
To remove a STATIC DLCI, arrow to the Circuit State field and select invalid and SAVE. This will remove the DLCI from the system. NOTE: This does not apply to DYNAMIC DLCIs.(c)
CKT_DCP enable: This will turn Fr Data Compression negotiation on or off. The next two fields, Status and ratio, display whether or not DCP successfully negotiated. If successful, the
Compression ratio is displayed.
In Point To MultiPoint mode the DLCIs will be dynamically added (unless the DLCI has been tagged STATIC or deleted. This allows you to actually see the DLCI information provided by the
Frame Relay DCE Switch in the WAN cloud that the CSX is connected to.
Point To Point Mode (LM WAN Physical Configuration)
Set the MgrType to FR PtoP. All the other information in FR PtoMP configuration is applicable.
2-26 Local Management User’s Guide
Configuration: Frame Relay
Point To Point Mode (LM WAN Interface Configuration)
The difference in configuration between PtoP and PtoMP is that DLCIs are not learned dynamically. DLCI information must be entered in statically, even if in an LMI mode. All the other information in FR PtoMP configuration is applicable.
Since in Point To Point mode the DLCI is static, it will not be deleted if the switch sends no information on the DLCI, but must be deleted manually through LM or SNMP, nor will DLCIs be added dynamically. The state will reflect the correct value that the FR DCE Switch reports, and static circuits will go “Invalid” if there is a physical connection problem.
NOTE
When changing from one protocol to another on a HSIM or CyberSWITCH that has been operational, save NONE as the protocol before changing to another protocol.
The previous version of firmware allowed multiple Frame Relay Protocols running on different T1 or E1 channel groups. This is no longer possible. Therefore, only one
Frame Relay Protocol can be configured per physical interface.
5.
Use the arrow keys to highlight Timeslot View. Press the SPACE bar to select New, then press
ENTER. The cursor moves to the first timeslot available in the Timeslot Configuration Table.
6.
Insert the interface number (refer to NOTE below) into the timeslot being used. Type the number, press ENTER, then exit this field by using the arrow keys. The cursor automatically moves to the T1 Line Coding field.
NOTE
The value assigned to the timeslots is the interface being used for WAN communication. Only one interface can be assigned to the timeslot when running
Frame Relay.

Access the WAN Interface Configuration screen through the WAN Physical Configuration screen, by using the arrow keys to highlight the WAN INT CONFIG command, then press ENTER.
Proceed with the following steps to configure the WAN Interface.
1.
Set the Interface Number that is being used for the WAN connection by typing the same number into the Interface Number field that was input into the timeslots in the WAN Physical
Configuration screen, then press ENTER (see the Note on page 2-27 ). For Frame Relay PtoP:
The interfaces are assigned when DLCIs are created (in this case a zero needs to be entered in this field).
2.
Use the arrow keys to highlight FR LMI. Press the SPACE bar to select ANSI_94, T1.617-D or Q.933-A, then press ENTER.
NOTE
The choice NO LMI under FR LMI is a test mode only and should not be used in a practical application.
3.
Make any changes to the available settings as desired.
4.
Use the arrow keys to highlight SAVE, then press ENTER. The message “SAVE DONE!” displays and Local Management saves the changes to memory.
In FR PtoP, the DLCIs must be entered statically, as they will not come up dynamically as in
FR PtoMP.
2-28 Local Management User’s Guide
Configuration: DDS Service
In FR PtoMP, there is an option to statically enter the DLCIs in association with a Protocol
Manager, the physical port and MIB II, using the DLCI field in the Interface screen. If the DLCI is not static, it will be deleted if the Frame Relay switch determines that the DLCI has been eliminated. If the Frame Relay switch previously reported status on a DLCI, when it does not report the status of the DLCI, the DLCI and its associated information is deleted from the platform. Static entries are never deleted automatically. They must be deliberately deleted by the user. To enter a DLCI, it is set to “Inactive” and saved, but to delete a DLCI, it must be accessed and entered as “Invalid” and saved.
The WAN configuration for Frame Relay is complete. Communications between the HSIM or
CyberSWITCH and the service provider’s switch takes approximately one or two minutes to complete. A status of Inactive displays on a DLCI per DLCI basis by default until both ends of the
DLCI are configured correctly. Once both end devices have negotiated link management with the switches, and are configured correctly on a DLCI per DLCI basis, the status field displays Active.
Configuration: DDS Service
This section provides step-by-step instructions for connecting the HSIM or CyberSWITCH to a
Digital Data Service circuit in a PPP or Frame Relay environment. This example assumes the setup similar to the one shown in
Figure 2-13 using two CSX400s with HSIM or CyberSWITCH
modules installed.

Troubleshooting the Frame Relay Connection
There are three troubleshooting tools on the HSIM or CyberSWITCH platform.
• LM
• The FR Error MIB Table, and reflects LMI or DLCI data errors
• The Mib Navigator command “fr”
A discussion of what is provided by the FR DTE bridge/router and the FR DCE switch needs to be clarified:
Communication with the FR switch is done through one of two methods:
• Asynchronous Status Messages. At any time the Fr Switch can send an unsolicited (no polling from us) message to us. Each message contains information on one DLCI and one only. It has the DLCI number and the DLCI state. We don't respond to this message, but we do adjust what we know about DLCIs based on this information.
2-32 Local Management User’s Guide
Troubleshooting the Frame Relay Connection
• Synchronous Polling Messages. The t391 timer for ANSI/ITU Frame Relay forms the basis for polling between the FR switch and the FR DTE (us). We transmit a STATUS ENQUIRY every t391 seconds (10 by default) to the FR switch. We expect a STATUS RESPONSE before we reach our next t391 polling cycle. The very first time we transmit a STATUS MESSAGE, and every successive N391 times (6 by default) we send out a FULL STATUS ENQUIRY. We expect a FULL STATUS RESPONSE, which contains information on the DLCIs the switch has assigned to us. Every other T391 cycle we send out a LINK INTEGRITY VERIFICATION
ENQUIRY message (LIV). We expect to get a LINK INTEGRITY VERIFICATION
RESPONSE back from the Fr switch before out t391 polling cycle expires. This is a keep alive message that does no more than let us know the link between us and the FR switch is still alive.
The information provided in a FULL STATUS RESPONSE, or ASYNCHRONOUS STATUS
MESSAGE basically has two parts, the FR Switch provides a DLCI number, and whether that
DLCI is in the Active or Inactive state.
• The Active state means that both ends of the connection (this DTE and the DTE at the other end of the WAN cloud) are speaking correctly to the FR DCE Switches in the WAN cloud.
• The Inactive state means that either the local or far end DTE is either just starting up and has not completed its initial negotiation with the FR Switch, or there is some sort of LMI error. Data
(other than LMI negotiation messages) will only be transferred when in the Active state.
• A third state value, Invalid, is reported locally only. It is not done by polling the FR switch. This is done if the physical connection has some sort of problem. The circuit will remain in the
Invalid state until negotiation with the FR DCE Switch completes successfully.
FR Error Table
This table is a standard part of RFC 2115, and provides the following information on a physical interface per physical interface basis:
• The time of the failure: (value of Mib II sysUpTime)
• The type of failure receiveShort: The frame was not long enough to allow demultiplexing - the address field was incomplete, or for virtual circuits using Multiprotocol over
Frame Relay, the protocol identifier was missing or incomplete.
receiveLong: illegalAddress:
The frame exceeded maximum length configured for this interface.
address field did not match configured format.
Local Management User’s Guide 2-33
WAN Configuration unknownAddress: frame received on a virtual circuit which was not active or administratively disabled.
dlcmiProtoErr: unspecified error occurred when attempting to interpret link maintenance frame.
dlcmiUnknownlE: link maintenance frame contained an Information Element type which is not valid for the configured link maintenance protocol.
dlcmiSequenceErr: link maintenance frame contained a sequence number other than the expected value.
dlcmiUnknownRpt: link maintenance frame contained a Report Type Information Element whose value was not valid for the configured link maintenance protocol.
noErroSinceReset: no errors have been detected since the last cold start or warm start.
• The number of times the interface has gone down due to faults
• The value of sysUpTime when the interface last went down due to errors.
Configuration: Call Backup
This section provides instructions for configuring the HSIM or CyberSWITCH to automatically backup a PPP dedicated/permanent connection or a Frame Relay PVC using a dial-up ISDN.
These are the two primary uses. All connections configured as call backup are continuously monitored for a failed condition. Whenever a primary connection with call backup fails, the backup call is automatically made using Dial-on-Demand (DoD). Once the failed connection is restored the backup call may be automatically closed. DoD automatically brings up the backup
SVC connection whenever the primary connection has failed and there is traffic to be forwarded across the backup SVC.
This example assumes the setup shown in Figure 2-15
, using two CSX400s with primary connections using WPIM-T1s (WPIM-E1, WPIM-DDS, or WPIM-SY could also be used) and with HSIM or CyberSWITCH backup modules installed in each CSX400. The NT-1 is needed if the connection to the Telco cloud has a U interface.

NOTE
Configuration: Call Backup
The commands in the rest of the procedure are Network Tools commands. Refer to the host platform manual for detailed information on accessing Network Tools.
Configure Backup
Backup is normally used to configure a backup connection if a primary connection fails. It can also be used to reduce CPU time for an unused interface. Use the following Network Tools command to configure backup: setbackup [PRIMARYIFACENUM] [BACKUPIFACENUM] [TIMETOCONNECT]
[TIMETODISCONNECT] [CONNECTRETRIESNUM] [TIMEBETWEENCONNECTRETRIES]
[BACKUPOVERRIDE]
PRIMARYIFACENUM — The number of the primary interface that is going to be backed up.
BACKUPIFACENUM — primary interface.
The number of the interface assigned as the backup interface to the
TIMETOCONNECT — How long the system will wait (in seconds) before attempting to switch over to the backup interface. Default is zero. Allowed values are in increments of five seconds.
TIMETODISCONNECT — How long the system will wait (in seconds) before attempting to switch over to the primary interface once the primary interface has been restored. Default is 90 seconds. Allowed values are in increments of five seconds.
CONNECTRETRIESNUM — Specifies the number of tries to bring up the backup interface before giving up. The default is three. Allowed values are in increments of one.
TIMEBETWEENCONNECTRETRIES — Specifies the time interval between tries to bring up the backup interface. The default is 30 seconds. Allowed values are in increments of five seconds.
Values below 30 seconds are allowed but not advisable.
BACKUPOVERRIDE — Specifies if the backup interface will disconnect whenever the primary interface is restored (reconnected). Choosing ENABLED for this command will not disconnect the backup interface even though the primary interface is restored. Used specifically when the primary interface has an intermittent problem, as it is desirable for the backup interface to stay connected until the primary interface problem is corrected. Once the primary connection is fully operational,
BACKUPOVERRIDE should be set to DISABLED, the default value.
Local Management User’s Guide 2-39
WAN Configuration
Example 1:
There is a nailed-up PPP interface #3, and to back it up, ISDN interface #4 is used with the default values. Use the command: setbackup 3 4
Example 2:
For any switched medium like ISDN there are two types of interfaces, primary and secondary
(backup). Primary interfaces automatically attempt to connect using DoD. Because of this, it is recommended not to create any unnecessary interfaces because they will consume unnecessary time in trying to connect. However, if additional interfaces have been created for which their need is unknown, then DoD should be disabled. To do this, set the backup interface to itself. Do this for each interface that should have DoD disabled. This recommendation also applies to Dial-in only interfaces (i.e., answer mode interfaces). Use the command: setbackup 3 to 3
Answer mode only is set, a “dormant” state. This will set the backup interface to itself if the ISDN interface is to be used only as a dial-in circuit (i.e., answer mode only).
NOTE
If the interface is active, you cannot configure backup. De-activate the interface before proceeding.
Set Idle Timeouts
Set the receive and transmit idle timeouts for backup interfaces using Network Tools. This command automatically disconnects an idle switched interface when either one of the parameters
TRANSMITIDLETIMEOUT or RECEIVEIDLETIMEOUT is met for the interface: setidletimeout [IFACENUM] [TRANSMITIDLETIMEOUT] [RECEIVEIDLETIMEOUT]
IFACENUM — The number of the interface to be configured.
TRANSMITIDLETIMEOUT — The idle time out parameter for the transmit time out.
RECEIVEIDLETIMEOUT — The idle time out parameter for the receive time out.
Example: To set the receive time out to 180 seconds and the transmit side to 600 seconds for
ISDN interface #4, use this command: setidletimeout 4 180 600
2-40 Local Management User’s Guide
Configuration: Call Backup
Configure the D Channel
Use the following command in Network Tools to set the switch type: setswitchtype [WANPORTNUM] [SWITCHTYPE]
WANPORTNUM — If the HSIM or CyberSWITCH occupies WAN port number one, use 1, if it occupies port number two, use 2 as the WANPORTNUM.
SWITCHTYPE — Choose between the types of ISDN BRI switches. The choices are NI1 (default for BRI), DMS100 (BRI/PRI), ATT5 ESS (BRI/PRI, default for PRI), ATT-4ESS (PRI) and
NET3 (BRI).
Set Phone Numbers and SPIDs for the Port
The following Network Tools command is used to set the phone numbers and the SPIDs (if applicable): setisdnbri [WANPORTNUM] [LDN1][SPID1] [LDN2] [SPID2]
LDN1 —
Number.
The first Local Directory Number. Likewise, LDN2 is the second Local Directory
SPID1 —
Identifier.
The first Service Profile Identifier. Likewise, SPID2 is the second Service Profile
SPID format: [XXXYYYZZZZ] [01] [01]
Where XXX represents the area code, YYY represents the prefix, and ZZZZ represents the local number. [01] [01] is the fixed suffix. This is the proposed generic SPID format.
Example 1: For the first WAN port to be configured for ISDN, issue the command: setisdnbri 1 5551000 0555100001 5553000 0555300001
For the second WAN port to be configured, issue the command: setisdnbri 2 5551000 0555100001 5553000 0555300001
The command also allows for skipping or clearing any entry by using the key letters S (or s) to skip the field, and C (or c) to clear the field.
Example 2: To skip LDN1 and SPID1, change LDN2, and clear SPID 2, issue the following command: setisdnbri 2 s s 0555600001 c
Local Management User’s Guide 2-41
WAN Configuration
Set Maximum Number of Neighbor/Remote Profiles
A neighbor/remote profile describes a possible connection. The maximum should be set to account for support of PPP Multilink. If PPP Multilink is used, then the number of profiles must accommodate the maximum possible number of additional “more BW” connections/calls desired.
Consequently, each neighbor profile would then describe a possible connection to the same remote end point (user). In the example, two profiles will be set up for the first ISDN interface. This means that this ISDN interface can be used to connect (call) two different end users or the same end user twice (e.g., Multilink). The default is one profile per ISDN interface.
Use the Network Tools command: setmaxprofiles [IFACENUM] [MAXPROFILESNUM]
Example: To set two profiles for ISDN interface #4 issue the command: setmaxprofiles 4 2
Configure the Profiles
Configure the profiles and specify phone numbers for backup interfaces. Use Local Management to configure BoD (submenu of the profiles menu) and enable using MLP if desired. Refer to
for details.
NOTES
Set max profiles, total profiles to allow multilink (QuickSET does this automatically).
Multilink is dynamic and will automatically create an interface to support the link.
Verify Status
Use the Network Tools command idsnstat to verify the D channel status; it should read active. The isdnstat command is used to display the ISDN settings, including the switch type, LDNs, SPIDs, and the operational status of the D channel. This command is normally used to verify that the switch and the HSIM or CyberSWITCH are working properly. If the settings are not correct, or the
D channel is not operational, the situation must be corrected before continuing the configuration.
The connection must be operational or the backup configuration will not work.
isdnstat [WANPORTNUM]
2-42 Local Management User’s Guide
Configuration: Call Backup
Use the Network Tools commands ct and dt to test the line by doing a manual connect or disconnect: ct [IFACENUM] connects (places) a call for the interface designated.
dt [IFACENUM] disconnects (hangs up) the call.
These three Network Tools commands allow the user to check whether or not the ISDN line and profile(s) have been configured properly and that a connection is possible.
When reconfiguring an interface, the host platform does not have to be reset.
NOTE
Configuration is complete.
Reset
If the Telco must be re-initialized, the host platform must be reset or the ISDN line must be disconnected. Refer to the host platform user’s guide to reset the platform.

Managing Device MIBs
The MIB Navigator lets you manage objects in the HSIM or CyberSWITCH Management
Information Bases (MIBs). MIBs are databases of objects used for managing the device and determining the device’s configuration. The commands within the MIB Navigator enable you to view and modify a device’s objects.
3-2 Local Management User’s Guide
MIB Navigator Command Set Overview
The MIB Navigator views the MIB tree hierarchy as a directory.
hierarchy. Each layer is numerically encoded, so that every branch group and leaf object in the
MIB is identified by a corresponding number, known as an Object Identifier (OID). This allows the
MIB Navigator to navigate through the MIB and access the manageable leaf objects.
Root 1
Group 1.1
Group 1.2
Group 1.3
Object 1.1.1
Object 1.1.2
Object 1.2.1

Object 1.3.1
Object 1.3.2
Figure 3-2 Hierarchical MIB Tree Structure
Often an ASCII name is assigned to the OID of a leaf object, making it more readable. To identify the value for the object “ipForwarding” you use the OID (/1/3/6/1/2/1/4/1), or its ASCII name
(/iso/org/dod/internet/mgmt/mib-2/ip/ipForwarding).
MIB Navigator Command Set Overview
TIP
Use the help command for an on-line description of each MIB Navigator command. For example MIB Nav-> help branch provides help information for the branch command.

This manual uses the following conventions for denoting commands:
• Information keyed by the user is shown in this helvetica font.
• In the examples, information keyed in by the user is indicated by bold font .
• Command arguments are indicated by two types of brackets:
required arguments are enclosed by [ ].
optional arguments are enclosed by < >.
MIB Navigator command conventions are as follows:
• To abort the output or interrupt a process the escape character is ^C (where ^ indicates the
Control key).
• A slash (/) preceding an OID issues that command from the root directory regardless of where you are in the MIB. If no slash precedes the OID the command issues from your current MIB location.
• Dot notation (1.1.1.1) is equivalent to slash notation (1/1/1/1). Use slash notation with the navigational commands, and the dot notation with the built-in commands that are using SNMP to access and manage network devices.
MIB Navigation Commands are listed in the format shown below: command:

Other Commands fr:
Syntax:
Description: fr
The fr command provides status related to Frame Relay and its Control
Protocols. This allows you to monitor DLCIs and aids troubleshooting.
• MGR: This is the physical WPIM for the DLCI
• CKT: This is the virtual port number for the DLCI
• IF: This is the MIB II interface number for the DLCI
• DLCI: This is the circuit DLCI number
• DCP: This is the state of FR Data Compression on this DLCI (on/ off)
• STATE: This is the DLCI circuit state (active/invalid/inactive)
• Inactive Reason: This value is empty for active/invalid states. It is filled in if the circuit is inactive. It has the following values: a.
t391 Polling Error: This is a result of a failure in the
Synchronous polling between us and the FR switch. If 3 out of any 4 polling cycles fail then both will place the link between us and the FR switch in a “link down” state. This will cause all
DLCIs to be set to inactive, and no data placed on the wire (other than polling messages) until the service affecting condition is cleared. This service affecting condition can be the result of a number of things:
Our STATUS ENQUIRY message never reaches the FR switch, due to: our WAN driver, or our physical WAN connection to the Fr switch dropping the packet for some reason.
The STATUS RESPONSE message never reaches the FR protocol code, due to: our WAN driver, or our physical WAN connection to the Fr switch, or the FR switch itself dropping the packet for some reason.
The incorrect LMI type Si selected at our side or the Fr switch side. If they do not match, then polling errors will result.

DLCMI Protocol Error: This is a service affecting condition that can/will occur due to any error that has happened between/ before the link goes down due to excessive polling errors. If 3 out of 4 errors have not occurred yet, but the circuit was prevented from going active by any one of the FR errors listed in Section, then this will be the condition listed for the inactive reason.
c.
Startup/Initialization: This basically means there have been no errors, we are polling correctly with the switch, but for some reason the switch reports to us inactive for that DLCI. Possible reasons for this are:
The FR DTE bridge/router <-> FR DCE switch on the far side of the WAN cloud is not connected, or has polling error problems. Refer to the remote mibnav/LM screen for CSX products, the Telecommunications/Remote Access Service provider, or other means (remote device console support/ protocol analyzer) at the far end to troubleshoot the remote device.
It may take up to 60 seconds (by default) [t391 (10 by default) seconds x n391 (6 by default) cycles for a circuit to go active, even in a well behaved properly communicating network. This is due to STATUS polling convergence of both FR DCE switches, with both FR DTE bridge/routers.
imux <options>
The imux command lets you balance your LAN traffic between two T1
WAN ports and is used with Point to Point Protocol (PPP). When you select Inverse Multiplexing via QuickSET, bridging, IP routing, and IPX routing functions are all disabled.

WPIM-SY Physical Configuration Fields
The configuration fields specific to the WPIM-SY shown in
Figure A-1 are defined as follows:
Sync Port Type — Displays the Synchronous port electrical interface type. The selections toggle between V.35, X.21, None, RS232, and RS422. This field always displays a Synchronous Port
Type, even if the Synchronous Port is not the active WAN port. The default setting for this field is
V.35.
Force CTS True — Displays the source of the Clear To Send (CTS) signal. The CTS signal is an input to the WPIM-SY. The WPIM-SY can either use or ignore the CTS signal. You can toggle the selections between Yes and No. The Yes (On) setting indicates that the WPIM-SY ignores the CTS signal from an external DCE (Data Communications Equipment) and forces the signal high. The
No (Off) setting indicates that the CTS signal is received from an external DCE. The default setting is No.
Force DSR True — Displays the source of the Data Set Ready (DSR) signal. You can toggle the selections between Yes and No. The Yes (On) setting indicates that the DSR is internally “Forced
True” . The No (Off) setting indicates that the DSR signal is received from an external DCE. The default setting is No.
Force RTS True — Displays the setting of the Ready To Send (RTS) signal. RTS Enable places the modem in the originate mode so it can begin to send. The default setting is Enable. The other
choice is Disable. Used for sync modem backup. See Appendix D
.
Force DTR True — Displays the setting of the Data Terminal Ready (DTR) signal. DTR Enable indicates that the DTE is powered on and ready to communicate. The default setting is Enable. The
other choice is Disable. Used for sync modem backup. See Appendix D .
Sync Clock Source — Displays the clock source as External, Split, or Internal. The default setting is External. The Internal and Split settings are for Cabletron testing purposes only. Always set this field to External.
Sync Tx Clock Speed — Cabletron testing purposes only. Displays 64000 (Kbps) upon startup.

THE WAN PHYSICAL CONFIGURATION SCREEN
The WPIM Timeslot Configuration Table
The WPIM Timeslot Configuration Table allows the user to configure the way in which the
Cabletron WAN module uses the E1 line. The configuration table consists of 32 timeslots. Only 31 of the timeslots are available for use, because the first timeslot is used by the device to transmit framing data. N/A (Not Available) always displays in Timeslot #1. You must assign each of the remaining 31 timeslots an Interface number (for example, 002 for an active Interface number or
000 if the timeslot is not used). When you lease an entire E1 line, you can use all 31 timeslots (the full E1 bandwidth). If you lease only a fraction of the E1, the service provider tells you which timeslots to use.
NOTE
The WPIM-E1 always uses the first timeslot (Timeslot #1) to transmit framing data. A full E1 line with 32 timeslots has 31 customer-usable timeslots.
You can utilize timeslots any way you choose. The WPIM-E1 supports Time Division
Multiplexing (TDM) allowing demultiplexing of circuits (timeslots) within the public network.
For example, if you have access to a full E1 (31 customer-usable timeslots), and you want to
communicate with two other sites, your configuration might look like Figure B-2
.
SITE #2
23 Timeslots
SITE #1
32 Timeslots
(31 available to customer)
Telco Cloud
SITE #3
8 Timeslots
148402
Figure B-2 Sample Timeslot Configuration
shows a sample configuration for three sites. Of the 32 timeslots, Site #1 uses the first timeslot for transmitting framing data, 23 timeslots to communicate with Site #2 and the remaining 8 timeslots to communicate with Site #3. This configuration varies tremendously depending on how the service provider maps out the E1 timeslots. Your service provider will tell you which timeslots to configure.

Local Management User’s Guide C-1
Appendix C: WPIM-DI Configuration
NI/DI Timeslot View — Displays the status of the Timeslot Configuration table. This field toggles between Active and New. The Active setting displays current Timeslot Configuration table settings. The New setting allows you to change Timeslot Configuration table settings. The default setting is Active (D/I).
NI/DI Line Coding — Displays the line coding for the physical T-1 line. This field toggles between B8ZS and AMI. The default setting is B8ZS.
NI/DI Frame Type — default setting is ESF.
Displays the T-1 Frame type. This field toggles between ESF and D4. The
NI/DI Tx Clock Source — Displays the T-1 Transmit Clock Source. This field toggles between
Loop Timing (Extracted Line Data) and Local Timing (Internal Clock). The default setting is Loop
Timing. If the DI Enabled field is set to diDataEnable, Local Timing cannot be selected as a choice.
NI/DI Line Buildout — Displays the line coding for the physical T-1 line. Set this field to 0 dB unless the service provider recommends another setting. The default setting is 0 dB. This field steps between the following levels:
• 0 db
• -7.5 db
• -15 db
• -22.5 db
NI/DI Loop-back — Displays the loopback for the WPIM-DI. Loopback is a testing procedure that segments the line and allows the user to isolate faults. This field toggles between None,
Line-Loop, and Payload-Loop. In Line-Loop the entire T1 is looped back. In Payload-Loop only the 24 timeslots are looped back. The NI/DI Tx Clock Source must be in Loop Timing mode to use this option. The default setting is None.
DI Enable — Displays the status of the Drop-and-Insert function of the WPIM-DI. This field steps between On, Off, and diDataEnable. Choosing On allows another device (e.g., WPIM-T1) that is connected to the DI interface of the WPIM-DI to use any timeslots that the WPIM-DI is not using (Drop and Insert is enabled between the two ports). The data from the host device passes through the NI port. Choosing Off allows the Network Interface to be used as a standard T-1 port.
Choosing diDataEnable enables Drop and Insert, and data from the host device will pass through the DI port. The default setting is On.
C-2 Local Management User’s Guide
The WAN Physical Configuration Screen
NOTE
When the diDataEnable option is selected in the DI Enabled field, data from the host device passes through the DI port and not the NI port on the host platform.
WPIM-DI Timeslot Configuration Table
The WPIM Timeslot Configuration table allows you to configure the way in which the WAN module uses the T-1 line. The configuration table consists of 24 timeslots. You must assign each timeslot an Interface number (for example, 002 for an active Interface number or 000 if the timeslot is not used). When you lease an entire T-1 line, you can use all 24 timeslots (the full T-1 bandwidth). If you lease only a fraction of the T-1, the service provider tells you which timeslots to use.
The WPIM-DI supports Time Division Multiplexing (TDM) allowing channelization of circuits
(Timeslots) within the public network. You can use timeslots any way you choose. When using the
WPIM-DI, you have the option of implementing all the available leased timeslots with the
WPIM-DI, or you may map any of the available timeslots to another WAN module through the DI interface.

Modem Settings for RS-232 Dial-up PPP Backup
This appendix details the backup configuration of a Frame Relay or PPP nailed-up connection using modems and the WPIM-SY.
TIP
To avoid incurring a cost due to possible unintentional call(s) do not connect the modem line to the telephone wall jack until both the modem and the host platform have been configured.
The modem used in the first example is the FastPro II (GDC 060R124-000) from General
DataComm. The second example uses the Courier B.Everything from USRobotics (3COM). Any brand modem meeting these requirements may be used. A typical configuration can be seen in
