Stinger MS+ overview

The Stinger MS+ chassis is designed for use in a central office environment where rack space is limited, or the local user population does not require a larger Stinger

FS+ or Stinger LS unit. The Stinger MS+ uses a mid-plane design, similar to the larger

Stinger FS+, and can be equipped with the control modules, trunk modules, LIMs, and LPMs that are used in the Stinger FS+. (For more environmental information,

see “Site specifications” on page C-4.)

The Stinger MS+ chassis

The Stinger MS+ chassis, shown in Figure 1-1, has horizontal slots in the front and

rear that engage the midplane bus. The front of the Stinger MS+ chassis has five horizontal slots for modular plug-in components and two lower bays for redundant power filters. The horizontal slots accept up to four line interface modules (LIMs) and one control module in a designated slot. Unless LIMs with integrated line protection are used, each LIM must be matched by a line protection module in a corresponding slot in the rear of the chassis. A single trunk module can also be installed a designated slot in the rear of the chassis.

Preparing for the Installation

Selecting an installation site

Modular plug-in components

The Stinger MS+ chassis supports the following modular plug-in components:

■

■

The control module—A single control module is installed in the front of the chassis provides a TAOS management interface for configuration and management of the unit. The control module manages the operation of the

Stinger MS+ unit and the traffic through the unit. It also maintains information about the configuration of the unit.

LIMs—Up to four line interface modules (LIMs) are installed in the front of the chassis to provide the internal interfaces that are configured to provide service for individual DSL subscriber lines.

■

■

Line protection modules (LPMs)—Up to four line protection modules (LPMs) are installed in the rear of the chassis to provide physical connection points for the

DSL subscriber lines associated with the LIMs in the front of the chassis. The

LPMs also provide protection for the unit from transient conditions on the subscriber lines.

The trunk module—A single trunk module or trunk aggregation module (TRAM) is installed in the top slot in the back of the chassis. This can be any of the trunk modules that can be installed in the Stinger FS+. Including:

– OC3-ATM trunk module

■

■

■

– DS3-ATM trunk module

– E3-ATM trunk module

– OC3 TRAM module

– OC12-ATM trunk module

– Fast Ethernet trunk module

Power filters—Two power filters, installed in the front of the chassis, provide redundant inputs for power to the Stinger MS+.

The alarm module—A small module provides external connections for monitoring the major and minor alarm status of the unit. It also provides connections for an external BITS signal.

The cooling module—A replaceable module contains fans that circulate air through the unit, and the electronics to control and monitor their operation.

Selecting an installation site

Before you choose a location for the Stinger unit, read and follow the site and electrical requirements defined in the Edge Access and Broadband Access Safety and

Compliance Guide .

Select the setup location carefully. Keep in mind that the unit requires sufficient

clearance for cabling, module replacement, and proper ventilation (see “Space requirements” on page C-5). You can rack-mount the Stinger MS+ in a standard

equipment cabinet that is 19 inches or 23 inches (48.26cm or 58.42cm) wide (see

“Mounting the unit” on page 2-1).

Preventing static discharge damage

Modules and semiconductor devices in general can be easily and permanently damaged due to electrostatic discharge during installation or removal. A person walking across a floor can generate electrostatic voltages in excess of 5000V.

Although you might not notice a discharge of less than 3500V, discharges below 100V can damage semiconductor components.

You can destroy a component without noticing any electrostatic discharge. Because these discharges have very little current, they are harmless to people.

To prevent damage to components from electrostatic discharge, always follow the proper guidelines for equipment handling and storage.

Use a wrist strap

To reduce the static potential on your body by proper grounding, wear an approved

antistatic wrist strap (Figure 1-3) when installing, removing, or handling modules, or

while handling any Lucent device containing semiconductor components.

!

Caution Correct use of an approved antistatic wrist strap is the only reliable way to prevent damage to components by electrostatic discharge from your body

1-4 Stinger® MS+ Getting Started Guide

Figure 1-3. Wrist grounding strap

Preparing for the Installation

Preventing static discharge damage

To minimize entanglement, right-handed people can wear the strap on the left hand.

Plug the other end of the wrist strap into the grounding jack provided on most Lucent

products, as shown in Figure 1-4.

Figure 1-4. Wrist strap plugged into a grounding jack

If a grounding jack is not available, use an alligator clip to connect the strap to electrical ground.

Use the following two simple tests to verify that the wrist strap is functioning properly:

■

■

Measure the resistance between the wrist strap and its grounding plug. Overall resistance between these two points must be approximately 1 megohm. If it is not, replace the strap.

Physically examine the strap for visible damage. If you see any damage, replace the strap.

Stinger® MS+ Getting Started Guide 1-5

Preparing for the Installation

Unpacking the Stinger

Remove plastics from your work area

Work areas must be kept clear of common plastics, such as the following items:

■

■

Polystyrene packing containers

Clear plastic bags

■

■

■

Plastic drinking cups

Food wrappers

Clear cellophane tape

These types of common plastic materials can carry a static charge that is not easily discharged to ground and must not make direct contact with modules or any other solid state components.

Store components properly

Protect modules immediately after removal from a chassis by placing them in their original factory packing materials. Storage in approved antistatic packaging is acceptable when factory packaging is unavailable.

!

Caution Never place unprotected modules directly on ungrounded metal shelving or on ungrounded carts without insulating surfaces.

Unpacking the Stinger

The Stinger unit is delivered in a protective shipping carton, in an electro-static protection bag, with all the ordered modules installed. Before you remove the Stinger unit from the shipping carton, check for damage. If you see any damage, follow the instructions described in your product warranty.

To avoid potential damage to the unit, Lucent Technologies recommends moving the unit to the installation site before unpacking it from the shipping carton.

!

Control module connections

The control module provides the following ports and connections:

needed to connect the Stinger unit to a workstation or a console. See Appendix B,

“Cables and Connectors,” for console cable pinouts.

Each control module supports three types of network management connections for communication with the Stinger unit:

■ A female DB-9 serial port, labeled DIAG PORT. This connector is used with an

RS-232 shielded straight-through cable (ITE6801), to a terminal for basic

configuration. See “Serial connection to a console” on page 5-2, for details about

this connection.

■

■

It can also be connected to an external modem for dial-in administrative access.

See “Backup management with an external modem” on page 5-3, for details of

this connection.

A female DB-15 connector labeled ALARM INPUT. This connector provides access for connecting of up to 7 pairs of wires that monitor the alarm condition of

up to 7 external devices. See “Connecting a Stinger unit to monitor the alarm status of other devices” on page 2-8, for details of this connection.

An RJ-11 jack that provides a connection for an external analog telephone line to

an optional internal modem. See “Backup management with an internal modem” on page 5-5, for details of this connection.

Note The optional internal modem is only available on Revision 2 control module models B and C.

■ An RJ-45 connector that provides a 10BaseT or 100BaseT Ethernet network connection through unshielded twisted pair (UTP) cable. This connection can provide access to an administrative network, and is not designed for end-user

data. See “Network connection to a workstation console” on page 5-2, for details

of this connection.

2-6 Stinger® MS+ Getting Started Guide

Installing a Stinger MS+

System clocking

System clocking

The control module has four possible timing sources:

■ External. The Stinger unit can accept timing from a T1 line, or a building interoffice timing source (BITS) clock, connected to the alarm module BITS

connectors. (See Figure 2-6.)

■

■

■

Trunk. The Stinger unit can accept timing from an OC3, DS3, or E3 line clock.

LIMs. The Stinger unit can accept timing from an ADSL or SDSL line clock.

Internal clock source. If the selected clock sources fail, the system is automatically reconfigured so that it is synchronized with the control module’s internal clock.

The T1 or BITS timing inputs work with DS1 timing references that comply with the

ANSI T1.102 standard. The system timing is configured through the TAOS command-line interface. For detailed information about the profile and options that

configure system clocking, see “Configuring system clocking” on page 5-14.

Alarm monitoring

There are two groups of alarm connections on the Stinger MS+. One group, on the chassis alarm module, communicates the major or minor alarm status of the Stinger

MS+ unit to an external system or status indicator. The Stinger MS+ can use another group of connections on a revision 2 or revision 2.1 control module to monitor and report the alarm status of up to seven other external systems.

Connecting to monitor Stinger unit alarm status

The alarm module on the front of the unit, in the lower right corner, contains three sets of connectors for connecting the following:

■ Major alarms

■

■

Minor alarms

External BITS clock

The alarm module along with its BITS and alarm connections is shown in Figure 2-6.

Figure 2-6. Stinger MS+ alarm module

MAJOR MINOR BITS

The alarm module contains alarm terminals for monitoring the status of the Stinger

MS+ unit. The Stinger MS+ can monitor itself for major and minor alarm conditions and illuminate appropriate status lights on the control module. In addition, you can connect audio and visual alarms to the normally open or normally closed alarm relay contracts of the alarm terminals to remotely monitor the unit for these conditions.

Stinger® MS+ Getting Started Guide 2-7

Installing a Stinger MS+

Alarm monitoring

The alarm-relay contacts operate during loss of power, during hardware failure, or whenever the Stinger unit is being reset, such as during its power-on self test (POST).

A normally closed (NC) or normally opened (NO) contact is used in combination with the common (COM) contact to monitor the normally opened or normally closed

operation of the major or minor alarm relays. (See Figure 2-6.)

The gauge of the wire you use to connect to the Stinger alarm relay must be based on the current flow of the circuit that the relay is attached to and the capacity of the alarm relay. Because the Stinger alarm relay can carry a maximum of 2 amps, 18

AWG to 20 AWG (0.8mm² to 0.5mm²) wire is adequate.

To connect a remote alarm:

1 Locate the appropriate terminal for the alarm connection you want to make.

2 Using a 1/8-inch flathead screwdriver, loosen the screws on the Major and Minor normally opened (NO) or normally closed (NC) and common (COM) terminals.

3 Using 18AWG to 20AWG (0.8mm² to 0.5mm²) solid or stranded wire, strip the ends of the wire approximately 1/4 inch (6.35 mm).

4 Insert the wire leads into the appropriate positive terminal connector and its return.

5 Using a 1/8-inch flathead screwdriver, tighten the screws on the positive and return terminals to secure the leads.

Connecting a Stinger unit to monitor the alarm status of other devices

Revision 2 and revision 2.1 control modules have a DB-15 connector that can accept connections to monitor the alarm status of up to seven external devices. The connection for each external device consists of a pair of 24-gauge to 28-gauge connectors. One connector supplies ground, and the other senses the status of the remote alarm by applying 3.3Vdc, which draws less than 10mA of current through the closed contacts of the alarm relay on the remote device. For the pinout

arrangement of these connectors on the DB-15 connector, see “Alarm input port pinouts” on page B-2.

Connections from the control module

To connect to a remote device:

1 Using a male DB-15 connector, connect a 15-lead cable to the ALARM INPUT connector of the control module. One lead is unused.

2 Run one pair of leads to the alarm connectors of each remote device to be

monitored by the Stinger unit, as shown in Figure 2-7.

Stinger MS+ operation as a DSL access multiplexer

A Stinger MS+ unit typically operates as an ATM switch-through digital subscriber line access multiplexer (DSLAM). It switches data from multiple xDSL subscribers

onto a high-speed ATM backbone. Figure 4-1 shows this type of operation.

Note A Stinger MS+ unit equipped with an IP2000 control module can also process

IP traffic. With the IP2000, a the unit typically routes IP traffic from subscribers to the

IP infrastructure across a Gigabit Ethernet interface, and forwards IP multicast video transmissions to xDSL multicast clients. Configuration for this type of operation is described in the Stinger IP2000 Configuration Guide .

Stinger® MS+ Getting Started Guide 4-1

Stinger Operational Overview

Stinger ATM switching overview

Stinger ATM switching overview

A Stinger unit receives ATM cells on a link that is identified by a pair of unique attributes. These attributes are known as the virtual path identifier (VPI) and the virtual channel identifier (VCI). The Stinger unit switches the cells from an incoming link to an outgoing link, based on the VPI and VCI attributes of each link. The connection between these links is usually a static configuration entered by an administrator, although a more dynamic method of forming link connections, known as a private network-to-network interface (PNNI), might be used.

This guide covers only basic installation information and configuration of the control module. More detailed information about configuring the unit to support ATM traffic can be found in the Stinger ATM Configuration Guide and the Stinger Private

Network-to-Network Interface (PNNI) Supplement.

Stinger configuration overview

Before you configure a Stinger MS+ unit, create a diagram that illustrates how the unit will interoperate with your current network configuration. Creating a comprehensive network diagram helps prevent problems during installation and configuration, and can help in troubleshooting any problems later.

Stinger MS+ configuration tasks include the following:

■

■

■

■

■

Configuring the control module

Configuring the DSL line interface modules (LIMs)

Configuring the trunk module

Defining ATM traffic contracts

Configuring connections, either locally or through RADIUS

Control module configuration

The control module has an RS-232 serial port (labeled DIAG PORT) and a

10/100BaseT Ethernet port. The serial port is for system management from a local workstation. It is also the standard port for error output, stack traces, and messages in the event of a system crash. Until you have configured an IP address on the Ethernet interface of the control module, you must use a local terminal or workstation connected to the serial port of the control module to configure the Stinger MS+ unit.

There is no other way to log into the unit to perform the initial configuration.

The Ethernet port on the control module is intended for light data and management traffic. Once you have assigned an IP address, you can Telnet into the unit from a local host and download configuration files from a TFTP server to the Stinger system.

A Stinger unit has a range of options for configuring IP and for protecting the unit from unauthorized administrative access.

Line interface module (LIM) configuration

A Stinger unit supports any combination of ADSL, HDSL2, SHDSL, IDSL, or SDSL

ATM modules. Each port on a LIM has a variety of configuration options, including line rates and bandwidth. The way you configure each line depends on your connectivity needs.

4-2 Stinger® MS+ Getting Started Guide

Stinger Operational Overview

Stinger management features

A T1 or E1 LIM is also available to provide up to 8 or 24 DS1 or E1 lines for traffic exiting the network (egress traffic), when the bandwidth of a DS3, E3, or OC3 trunk module is not needed.

For specific information about LIM configuration, see the module guide for the desired LIM.

Trunk module configuration

The Stinger MS+ unit supports a single trunk module or TRAM modules. Trunk modules with OC3-ATM, DS3-ATM, or E3-ATM interfaces are supported. OC3 TRAM modules with DS3, E3, or only OC3 interfaces are also supported. You can set up the unit to use the full trunk-side bandwidth actively, or you can designate one or two of the trunk ports as spares, to be used only if another trunk port fails.

The trunk module can connect the Stinger unit to another ATM switch. The line configuration includes settings that must match between the local and far-end switch interfaces.

For specific information about trunk module configuration, see the module guide for the desired trunk module.

System clocking modes

The Stinger unit requires a clock source for its timing subsystem. By default, it uses a built-in 8kHz clock on the control module as its timing source. You can configure the system to take its clock source from a trunk port or from an external building interoffice timing source (BITS) clock connected to the Stinger unit.

For detailed configuration information, see “Configuring system clocking” on page 5-14.

Stinger management features

To enable you to configure the system and monitor its activity, Stinger units support profiles, commands, and status windows in the command-line interface. Stinger units also support SNMP management, RADIUS profiles, and the ability to upload (back up) and download software and configuration files over TFTP or serial connections.

A Stinger system provides several permission levels to control the management and configuration functions that are accessible in the command-line interface. For information about User profiles and other management features, see the Stinger

Administration Guide .

For an introduction to the command-line interface and its shortcuts, see the The TAOS

Command-Line Interface Guide .

Using the command-line interface

The Stinger command-line interface provides access to commands, profiles, and status windows. You must use the command-line interface to provide the initial system and IP configuration for the unit, although you can choose to perform subsequent configuration tasks remotely through a Telnet session or SNMP, or by downloading configuration files using TFTP.

Stinger® MS+ Getting Started Guide 4-3

Stinger Operational Overview

Stinger management features

Onboard flash memory and software updates

You can perform software upgrades of the onboard flash memory in the field. You upgrade the Stinger unit by accessing it locally through its serial (DIAG) port and downloading software upgrades from a TFTP server. For details, see the Stinger

Administration Guide .

SNMP support

In addition to managing a Stinger unit by means of the command-line interface, you can manage the unit by using an SNMP management station such as the

NavisAccess™ product. A Stinger unit can generate SNMP traps (notifications) to indicate alarm conditions, and it relies on SNMP community strings to implement

SNMP security.

For information about using SNMP with Stinger units, see the Stinger Administration

Guide and the Stinger SNMP Management of the ATM Stack Supplement .

RADIUS support

You can use RADIUS to store user profiles for ATM circuits and terminating connections. The RADIUS server must be compliant with vendor-specific attributes

(VSAs), as defined in RFC 2138. To use RADIUS, you must also configure the Stinger unit to communicate with the RADIUS server.

For information about configuring and using RADIUS, see the TAOS RADIUS Guide and Reference .

Tracking system activity

A Stinger unit supports many commands for monitoring system activity. To display the commands that are available with the permission settings in the current User profile, enter the help (or ?

) command. The following example shows the commands available for the admin login. The left column shows command names, and the right column shows the command class , which determines the permissions required to use the command.

Verifying software and control module versions

The version command displays the version of TAOS that is currently running in the

Stinger unit and also displays the version and type of control module installed.

For example a model E revision 2.1 control module provides the following response to the version command: admin> version software version 9.7.0

* * * 9_7_0/stngrcm2 <tststngr> Jun 30 2004 04:09 * * *

Hardware revision: 2.1 Model E

Status windows

The command-line interface supports several status windows that focus on different aspects of system activity (such as connection status and log messages). The windows provide a great deal of read-only information about what is currently happening in the unit. To display a status window, enter the Status command: admin> status

The system prompt moves to just below the status window. To close the status window, enter the command again: admin> status

If the system prompt is not visible below the status window, press Escape to display it.

Note Stinger configuration settings are stored in onboard flash memory, and must be backed up to a TFTP host whenever changes are made. For details about backing up and restoring the Stinger configuration, see the Stinger Administration Guide .

Control module configuration overview

The control module controls the operations of the Stinger unit. It manages and boots the LIMs, maintains a central repository of the unit’s configuration, performs call control and processing operations, and manages all centralized functions, such as

SNMP access or communication with a RADIUS server.

Control module configuration includes the following tasks:

■ Connecting a console workstation to the serial port on the control module of the

Stinger unit

■

■

■

■

Logging into the Stinger unit

Changing default security settings to protect the unit

Configuring IP to make the system accessible by Telnet, SNMP, and Ping

Configuring RADIUS access (if appropriate)

Stinger units equipped with the IP2000 control module can also be configured to support termination and aggregation of RFC 2684 Asynchronous Transfer Mode

(ATM) PVCs, IGMP multicast v1/v2 and IEEE 802.1Q tagged virtual local area networks (VLANs). Information about these capabilities is contained in the Stinger

IP2000 Configuration Guide . However, the following information will allow you to perform basic administrative configuration for IP2000 control modules.

Administrative connections

The serial port the control module in a Stinger MS+ unit is used for initial configuration from a console device. The port can also be configured to connect to a

Stinger® MS+ Getting Started Guide 5-1

Configuring the Control Module and System Timing

Administrative connections modem to provide dial-in administrative access to the unit. Revision 2 control module models B and C contain an internal modem, configured by default for autoanswer. On these models, you need only to connect the RJ-11 modem jack to the telephone line and then call in to the Stinger unit for an administrative connection.

Once the Stinger unit has been configured with an IP address, it can be reached on the IP network via a Telnet connection. The following information provides details of these connection methods.

To connect the console terminal to the Stinger unit, connect one end of a shielded straight-through cable to the diagnostic port (DIAG PORT) on the control module.

Then connect the other end of the cable to the serial port on the console device.

The diagnostic port on the control module consists of a female DB-9 connector.

Examine the serial connector of your PC or dumb terminal to ensure that your shielded straight-through cable has the proper connectors. If needed, you can use

DB-9-to-DB-25 converters or gender converters to complete this connection.

See Appendix B, “Cables and Connectors,” for detailed information about the pinouts

on the console serial port.

Network connection to a workstation console

After the IP address of the Stinger unit has been configured, and the unit has been connected to a network, an administrative Telnet connection can be established

through the network. Figure 5-2 shows an Ethernet network connection from the

Stinger unit to the management workstation.

2 Connect the other end of the Ethernet cable to the local LAN.

3 Ensure that the management workstation has connectivity to the LAN on which the unit resides.

4 Ensure the Ethernet transceivers are connected properly to the network.

Connecting a dial-in backup management connection

Lucent Technologies recommends that you provision dial-up or some other access to each unit for backup administrative access. Dial-up access to a Stinger unit equipped with a revision 1 control module, a revision 2 model A control module, or a revision

2.1 model E control module, requires a properly configured external modem connected to the DIAG port on the control module. Revision 2 control module models B and C are equipped with an internal modem to support this type of backup management connection.

Backup management with an external modem

To configure a backup administrative connection with an external modem, connect the modem to the Stinger diagnostic port (DIAG PORT) with a null modem

(crossover) cable. In addition, you might need a DB-25-to-DB-9 adapter. Figure 5-3

shows the backup administrative connection with a modem to the Stinger unit.

Specifies

The internal modem automatically answers any incoming call and attempts to negotiate modem protocols with the caller.

The internal modem ignores incoming calls.

Not used in the Stinger MS+ unit.

Note In Stinger units with redundant control modules, the internal modem automatically answers incoming calls only if the control module is the primary control module for the

Stinger unit. When the control module is set as the secondary control module, the modem ignores incoming calls. This setting allows redundant controllers to share a single telephone line.

Logging into the control module

To configure the unit initially, or after clearing its NVRAM, you must connect a workstation to the control module serial port (labeled DIAG PORT). After connecting the management workstation, launch a communications program that supports terminal emulation. Make sure that the terminal emulation settings specify 9600bps,

8 data bits, 1 stop bit, and no parity or flow control.

The default settings for the serial port profile allow anyone connecting to the diagnostics port to access the system as the administrative ( admin ) user, without logging in or being authenticated. When you connect to an unconfigured Stinger unit

Configuring the Control Module and System Timing

Restricting administrative access to which power has been applied, you are presented with the prompt for the admin user: admin>

After you have supplied basic IP information, as described in “Providing a basic system IP configuration” on page 5-9, you can access the Stinger command-line

interface by using Telnet from an IP host. Or, you can log in by using an SNMP management station, such as NavisAccess™, from an IP host. These types of connections require that you authenticate a User profile and supply a password to acquire administrative permissions. During basic configuration, Lucent Technologies recommends that you also configure the serial port to require username and password authentication.

For details about User profiles, see the Stinger Administration Guide .

Restricting administrative access

Each Stinger unit is shipped from the factory with its security features set to defaults that allow you to easily access the unit so you can configure it without any restrictions. Before you bring the unit online, you must change the default security settings to protect the configured unit from unauthorized access.

Changing defaults for serial-port logins

The factory default setting for the control module serial interface specifies that any connection to that interface will use the admin User profile. To help protect the system from unauthorized administrative access on the serial interface, change the following default setting:

[in SERIAL/{ shelf-1 first-control-module 2 }] user-profile = admin

Parameter

User-Profile

Setting

Name of the User profile to be used for logins on the control module serial port. User profiles set permissions and other parameters for logins to the Stinger command-line interface. If no name is specified, the system prompts for both the name and password of a User profile, as it does for

Telnet logins.

A Stinger unit automatically creates a Serial profile for the control module. To list the

Serial profiles, use the Dir command as follows: admin> dir serial

12 03/06/2003 02:57:48 { shelf-1 first-control-module 1 }

There is only one control module slot in Stinger MS+ units. The designation, first-control-module , refers to the slot labeled CTRL on the Stinger MS+ chassis.

This slot is referred to as slot 8 or first-control-module in the TAOS interface to maintain the uniformity of the TAOS interface across the Stinger product line.

To make serial logins more secure, modify the Serial profile of the control module to specify a null User profile name, as shown in the following example. Anyone trying

Stinger® MS+ Getting Started Guide 5-7

Configuring the Control Module and System Timing

Restricting administrative access to establish a connection through the serial port is then required to provide a username and password.

admin> read serial {1 8 2}

SERIAL/{ shelf-1 first-control-module 2 } read admin> set user-profile = admin> write

SERIAL/{ shelf-1 first-control-module 2 } written

Changing the default admin password

Because the admin User profile controls permissions that enable most levels of activity, access to that login must be carefully restricted. To protect the admin login, change its well-known default password the first time you log into the unit.

Following is the password parameter, shown with its factory default setting:

[in USER/admin] password = "Ascend"

Parameter

Password

Setting

Text string of up to 20 characters, which must be entered by a user to log in with permissions authorized by the admin profile. The value is case sensitive.

You can specify any password up to 20 characters. All future logins governed by the admin User profile must provide the new password.

For example, the following commands change the admin password to x1!35DPG

: admin> read user admin

USER/admin read admin> set password = x1!35DPG

admin> write

USER/admin written

When an administrator Telnets into the Stinger unit, the system prompts for the name and password of a User profile and authenticates the information before allowing the Telnet session. For example:

% telnet 1.1.1.1

Trying 1.1.1.1...

Connected to 1.1.1.1

Escape character is ‘^]’.

Text string of up to 20 characters, required from all users requesting a Telnet session. A user is allowed three attempts, with 60 seconds per attempt, to enter the correct password. A third unsuccessful attempt terminates the login process. The value is case sensitive.

Sets the name of a default User profile for authenticating all

Telnet logins. If no name is specified, the system prompts the user to enter the name of a User profile.

For example, the following commands set the Telnet password to dpg01!

: admin> read ip-global

IP-GLOBAL read admin> set telnet-password = dpg01! admin> write

IP-GLOBAL written

When a Telnet password has been specified, the system requires a two-tier password authentication for Telnet logins, first the Telnet password, then the username and its associated password. For example:

% telnet 1.1.1.1

<stinger01> Enter Password: dpg01!

Trying 1.1.1.1...

Connected to 1.1.1.1

Escape character is ‘^]’.

User: admin

Password: **********

If the user enters an incorrect Telnet password, the system prompts again, allowing up to three attempts before timing out. If the user specifies the correct password, the connection is established and the user is prompted to enter the name and password of a valid User profile.

Providing a basic system IP configuration

To enable Telnet and SNMP access to the unit, and to allow connectivity between the unit and local IP hosts, you must assign IP addresses to the Stinger Ethernet ports and configure basic IP routing. A basic configuration for remote inband management can be saved in a special file called default.cfg

. If the basic configuration is saved in this way, the system can restart with the configured remote management capability,

Stinger® MS+ Getting Started Guide 5-9

Configuring the Control Module and System Timing

Providing a basic system IP configuration even after nonvolatile memory has been cleared with the NVRAM command. For more information about retaining a configuration after clearing NVRAM, see the

Stinger Administration Guide .

Note A Stinger unit does not require IP routing to operate as a DSLAM. IP routing is not used by the DSLAM activities. The system does not provide IP routing for DSLAM user data.

IP address syntax

The Stinger unit uses dotted decimal notation (not hexadecimal) for IP addresses.

Netmask information is appended to the IP address after a forward slash (/).

Netmasks

If no netmask is specified, the unit uses a default mask based on the class of the IP

address that is supplied. Table 5-1 shows address classes and the number of network

bits in the default mask for each class.

Table 5-1. IP address classes and number of network bits

Class Address range Default network bits

192.0.0.0 through

223.255.255.255

24

For example, a class C address, such as 198.5.248.40, has 24 network bits, leaving 8 bits for the host portion of the address. If no subnet mask is specified for a class C

address, the Stinger unit uses the default mask of 24 bits, as shown in Figure 5-5.

Figure 5-5. Default netmask for class C IP address

1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0

Default 24 bits

By default, this address is displayed as 198.5.248.40/24.

Subnets

Subnets are permitted under the same syntax. A subnet address specifies a number of network bits that does not adhere to the Class A, B, or C network limits. For example, the following address specifies a 29-bit subnet: ip-address = 198.5.248.40/29

In this address, 29 bits of the address are used to specify the network. The 3 remaining bits are used to specify eight addresses on the subnet. With 3 bits used to specify hosts on a 29-bit subnet, eight different bit combinations are possible. Of those eight possible host addresses, two are reserved:

Note Early implementations of TCP/IP did not allow zero subnets (subnets with the same base address as a class A, B, or C network). For example, the subnet

192.32.8.0/30 was illegal because it had the same base address as the class C network

192.32.8.0/24, while the subnet 192.32.8.4/30 was legal. Modern implementations of TCP/IP support zero subnets, and the Stinger implementation of Routing

Information Protocol (RIP) treats these subnets the same as any other network. Make sure that you treat zero subnets consistently throughout your network. Otherwise, you might encounter routing problems.

Table 5-2 shows subnet masks and prefix lengths for a class C network.

1 host—a host route /32

The broadcast address of any subnet has the host portion of the IP address set to all 1s

(ones). The network address (or base address) represents the network itself, because the host portion of the IP address is all 0s (zeros). For example, suppose that the

Stinger configuration assigns the following address to a remote router:

198.5.248.120/29

The Ethernet network attached to that router has the following address range:

198.5.248.120 — 198.5.248.127

A host route is a special-case IP address with a prefix length of /32. For example:

Stinger® MS+ Getting Started Guide 5-11

Configuring the Control Module and System Timing

Providing a basic system IP configuration

198.5.248.40/32

Host routes are routes to a single host, rather than to a network or subnet. This is determined by the fact that a 32-bit netmask does not allow for any host addresses on the network, other than the single address that is specified. It is, in effect, a one-address subnet.

Assigning the Ethernet IP addresses

A Stinger unit creates an IP interface for the Ethernet port of the control module. Use the Dir command to list the IP interfaces, as follows: admin> dir ip-interface

18 03/06/2003 16:36:32 { { any-shelf any-slot 0 } 0 }

29 03/06/2003 16:27:57 { { shelf-1 first-control-module 1 } 0 }

The IP interface profile identified as, first-control-module 1 , refers to the IP interface of the first (and only) physical Ethernet port on the control module in the

Stinger MS+ chassis. The IP-Interface profile with the zero index (the default any-shelf any-slot index) is reserved for the soft interface of the unit, which is

described in “Defining the soft IP interface” on page 5-12.

Note The designation, first-control-module , refers to the slot position of the control module in Stinger units that support redundant control modules. There is only one control module slot in Stinger MS+ units. This slot is referred to as slot 8 or first-control-module in the TAOS interface to maintain the uniformity of the

TAOS interface across the Stinger product line.

The following commands assign the address 1.1.1.56/24 to the ethernet interface on the control module: admin> read ip-interface { { shelf-1 8 1 } 0 }

IP-INTERFACE/{ { shelf-1 first-control-module 1 } 0 } read admin> set ip-address = 1.1.1.56/24 admin> write

IP-INTERFACE/{ { shelf-1 first-control-module 1 } 0 } written

After you assign IP addresses, you can verify that the Stinger unit is a valid IP host on its configured network by pinging other network hosts, as shown in the following example: admin> ping 1.1.1.56

PING 1.1.1.56: 56 Data bytes

64 bytes from 1.1.1.56: icmp_seq=0 ttl=255 time=0 ms

64 bytes from 1.1.1.56: icmp_seq=3 ttl=255 time=0 ms

^C

--- 1.1.1.56: Ping statistics ---

2 packets transmitted, 2 packets received, 0% packet loss round-trip min/avg/max = 0/0/0 ms

Defining the soft IP interface

A Stinger unit supports a soft IP interface that can be assigned its own IP address. the address of the soft IP interface becomes a second (proxy) address for Ethernet port on the primary or only control module in the unit. In Stinger models that support redundant control modules, this soft address can be reached through the Ethernet interface of whichever control module is the primary control module. Therefore,

5-12 Stinger® MS+ Getting Started Guide

Configuring the Control Module and System Timing

Providing a basic system IP configuration regardless of which control modules is functioning as the primary control module for the chassis, the unit can be accessed through the same soft interface address.

When power is applied to the system, the soft IP interface address is not initialized until a control module assumes the role of primary control for the Stinger unit. The

Ethernet interface of the primary control module can then respond to ARP requests for the soft IP interface address in addition to requests for its own IP address, which was previously configured. If the secondary control module becomes primary, the system reinitializes the soft IP interface address to the Ethernet interface of the new primary control module.

The soft IP interface is configured in the IP-Interface profile with the zero index.

The following commands set the soft interface IP address to 1.1.1.128/24: admin> read ip-interface {{ 0 0 0 }}

IP-INTERFACE/{ { any-shelf any-slot 0 } 0 } read admin> set ip-addr = 1.1.1.128/24 admin> write

IP-INTERFACE/{ { any-shelf any-slot 0 } 0 } written

Configuring a default route

A default route is a static route that specifies a destination for addresses that are not on the local network and to which a known route does not exist. The default route is generally the IP address of an external router that has more route information about how specific destinations can be reached. When the default route is configured, the

Stinger unit routes all IP packets with unknown destinations to the specified external router. If no default route is defined, the unit drops IP packets for which it has no route.

Figure 5-6 shows the Stinger Ethernet interface on a subnet, connected to the same

Ethernet segment as a local backbone router. In this network, the Stinger unit can use the local router as its default route.

1.1.1.1/24

Control module’s

Ethernet port address

1.1.2.3/24

Local

1.1.1.3/24

If a local router is the unit’s default route, or gateway, the Stinger unit can pass all IP packets with an unrecognized address to that router, so its own routing table can remain small. The external router maintains larger routing tables and assumes the responsibility and overhead of routing most packets.

For example, the following commands define a default route to the LAN router in

Figure 5-6:

Stinger® MS+ Getting Started Guide 5-13

Configuring the Control Module and System Timing

Configuring system clocking admin> new ip-route default

IP-ROUTE/default read admin> set gateway-address = 1.1.1.3 admin> set active-route = yes admin> write

IP-ROUTE/default written

The system can support multiple default routes. The profile name does not have to be default . The only requirements are that the destination address must be zero, and

Gateway-Address must specify a valid, accessible router.

For information about other settings in the IP-Route profile, see the Stinger Reference

Guide .

Verifying a LAN connection for administrators

To enable administrators to log into the Stinger unit’s interface from IP hosts, you must also make sure your local network can route to the unit. Your network router must have network connectivity through intermediate routers so that the administrative host can access the Stinger unit via its IP address. You can test this connectivity by pinging the unit from the local host. For example, the following command entered on a local host tests connectivity to the Stinger soft interface, identified previously:

% ping 1.1.1.128

PING 1.1.1.128 (1.1.1.128): 56 Data bytes

64 bytes from 1.1.1.128: icmp_seq=0 ttl=255 time=0 ms

Configuring system clocking

The Stinger unit requires a clock source for its timing subsystem. By default, it uses a built-in 8kHz clock on the control module as its timing source. You can configure the system to take its clock source from a trunk port or from an external building interoffice timing source (BITS) clock connected to the Stinger MS+ unit.

Using the default (controller) clock source

The Stinger unit has an internal 8kHz clock on its control module. By default, the unit uses the clock on the control module as the source for its timing subsystem. To configure the unit to obtain its clock signal from another source, set the following parameter (shown with its default setting):

5-14 Stinger® MS+ Getting Started Guide

Configuring the Control Module and System Timing

Configuring system clocking

[in SYSTEM] system-8k-clock = controller

Parameter

System-8K-Clock

Setting

Source for the master system clock.

With the default controller setting, the Stinger MS+ unit uses the built-in 8kHz clock on the control module.

If set to lim-or-trunk-module , the unit obtains its clock signal from a trunk port that has been configured as an eligible clock source, using the ports in order of their priority. If no eligible trunk ports are available, it uses the control module clock.

If set to bits , the unit sources its clock from the building interoffice timing source (BITS) T1 framer in its alarm unit.

If set to ami-8k , a model A-J control module sources the

400Hz ISDN reference clock used in Japan, from the BITS input across the backplane for use by Annex C LIMs. (The model A-J control module is available only for the Stinger

LS.)

Using the BITS clock source

The following commands cause the system to first attempt to use a BITS clock as its clock source, and to use the built-in clock only if it does not find a valid BITS signal: admin> read system

SYSTEM read admin> set system-8k-clock = bits admin> write

SYSTEM written

Loss of BITS signal indications and fall-back

If the system-8K-clock parameter in the system profile is set to bits and the system detects a loss of signal, it displays the following message:

LOG alert, Shelf 1, Controller-1, Time: 17:02:01--

BITS clock source has been lost - 8kHz clock is free running

If no other clock source is eligible, the system then displays the following message:

LOG notice, Shelf 1, Controller-1, Time: 17:02:01

Master clock source changed to local oscillator

When the Stinger unit recovers the BITS signal, it displays the following messages:

LOG alert, Shelf 1, Controller-1, Time: 17:02:03--

BITS clock source has been recovered - 8kHz clock is locked

LOG notice, Shelf 1, Controller-1, Time: 17:02:03--

Master clock source changed to T1 framer

Stinger® MS+ Getting Started Guide 5-15

Configuring the Control Module and System Timing

Configuring system clocking

If the Stinger unit detects a T1 signal in the BITS input, it prioritizes the clock source list as follows:

■

■

If the system-8K-clock parameter of the system profile is set to bits , its priority is set to the highest (1) and the T1 framer is selected regardless of other available clock sources and priorities.

If the system-8K-clock parameter of the system profile is set to a value other than bits , its priority is set as the lowest (3) and the T1 framer is selected as a clock source only if no other slot clock sources are available.

Changing the BITS clock source

The following examples show how to change the system-8K-clock parameter setting from bits to lim-or-trunk-module and use the slot-clock-source command to view the changes in clock source priority: admin> set system-8k-clock = bits admin> write

Configuring trunk ports as eligible clock sources

The DS3-ATM, OC3-ATM, and E3-ATM profiles support Clock-Source and

Clock-Priority parameters for specifying whether the port can be used to source the

ATM network clock and feed it to the primary control module as the master clock for the unit. Each of the two trunk ports can be configured as eligible or ineligible for this use, and can be assigned a high, middle, or low priority for being elected as the clock source. Following are the relevant parameters, shown with default settings:

[in DS3-ATM/{ any-shelf any-slot 0 }:line-config] clock-source = not-eligible clock-priority = middle-priority

[in OC3-ATM/{ any-shelf any-slot 0 }:line-config] clock-source = not-eligible clock-priority = middle-priority

[in E3-ATM/{ any-shelf any-slot 0 }:line-config] clock-source = not-eligible clock-priority = middle-priority

Parameter

Clock-Source

Clock-Priority

Setting

Enable/disable obtaining the system clock signal from the port. By default, ports are not eligible clock sources.

Priority of the interface as the system’s clock source (high, middle, or low priority). Once the Stinger unit chooses a clock source, it uses that source until the interface becomes unavailable or a higher-priority source becomes available.

If more than one line is eligible to be the clock source, the system chooses the one with the highest priority, as specified by the Clock-Priority setting. If multiple sources of equal priority are present, the system selects the first valid clock source. (A clock source is valid if the Clock-Source parameter is set to eligible and the DS3, OC3, or E3 interface is synchronized.)

Once it has selected a clock source, the system uses that source until the source becomes unavailable or a higher-priority source becomes available. If no eligible external sources exist, the system uses an internal clock generated by the primary control module.

Typical trunk port clock source configurations

The following sample commands configure both ports of a DS3-ATM module as eligible clock sources, with the first port assigned a higher priority for this use: admin> read ds3-atm { 1 trunk-module-1 1 }

DS3-ATM/{ shelf-1 trunk-module-1 1 } read admin> set line-config clock-source = eligible admin> set line-config clock-priority = high admin> write

DS3-ATM/{ shelf-1 trunk-module-1 1 } written

Installation and replacement considerations

The Stinger unit design enables you to install, remove, and replace most modules without shutting the unit off. However, you can turn off power to the unit as a precaution, if the unit is not currently providing service.

Warning Do not attempt to replace the power filter on a Stinger FS or Stinger FS+ unit. Doing so, you risk contact with live, electrically charged components of the unit.

Warning Before installing your Stinger unit, be sure to read the safety instructions in the Edge Access and Broadband Access Safety and Compliance Guide . For information

specific to your unit, see Appendix C, “Safety-Related Electrical, Physical, and

Environmental Information,” in this guide.

Warning If power to the unit is not turned off, an electrical energy hazard is present within the card cage. Remove all metallic objects from hands and wrist to prevent bridging of live contact points.

Caution Wear an antistatic wrist strap before handling any of the unit components.

Slot numbering and module placement

Slot numbering and module placement

LIM are installed in the slots numbered from 1 to 4 in the front of the Stinger MS+ chassis. These slots are also logically referred to by the TAOS software as slots 1 through 4, corresponding with their physical location in the chassis.

The top slot in the front of the unit is labeled “CTRL”. This slot is reserved for the control module. To maintain the uniformity across the Stinger product line, this slot is logically referred to by the TAOS software as slot 8.

The top slot in the rear of the unit is labeled “TM”. This slot is reserved for a trunk or

TRAM module. To maintain the uniformity across the Stinger product line, this slot is logically referred to by the TAOS software as slot 17.

Installing and replacing LIMs

Physical installation and replacement of a LIM are similar procedures to the installation and replacement of a control module. Refer to the illustration in

Figure 6-2 on page 6-4, if necessary.

Installing a LIM

To install a LIM:

1

Put on the antistatic wrist strap, as recommended in “Preventing static discharge damage” on page 1-4, and plug it into the ESD grounding jack located on the

front of the unit. (See Figure 1-5 on page 1-7.)

2 Remove the blank slot cover on the desired slot on the front of the unit. (See

“Slot numbering and module placement” on page 6-5.)

3 Align the LIM with the card guides and carefully slide the module into the unit.

Note Keep the connector on the LIM being inserted away from components on adjacent LIMs. Do not force the card. Once the card has engaged its bus connector, press firmly to be sure it is fully seated.

4 Depress the ejectors simultaneously.

5 Slide the card ejector lock up.

6 Using a number 2 Phillips screwdriver, secure the LIM by tightening the thumbscrews.

7 If necessary, if all other installation tasks are complete, including the installation of an associated LPM, turn on power to the Stinger unit.

8 Wait several minutes and then verify the behavior of the status lights on the LIM to verify its operational status.

For status light information, see the module guide for the LIM you are installing.

Replacing a LIM

!

Caution Lucent Technologies recommends setting the administrative status of the

LIM to Down (through the command-line interface) before replacing the module.

When a LIM is removed, all its ports and circuits are terminated, and data loss might occur. For instructions on changing a LIM’s state to Down and then back to Up, see the Stinger Administration Guide .

Cables and Connectors

Alarm input port pinouts

Alarm input port pinouts

The alarm input port, found on revision 2 control modules, consists of a DB-15 female connector. This connector provides seven pairs of pins that can be connected to the alarm relays of up to seven external devices. Operation or nonoperation of these alarm relays is sensed by the TAOS software, based on continuity or lack of continuity between the pair of pins to which it is connected.

The sensing connections apply 3.3Vdc at less than 10mA through the closed contacts of the remote relay. The cable associated with this connector must consist of 24-gauge to 28-gauge conductors.

Table B-2 provides the pinouts for the DB-15 alarm input port.

EMI class

The Stinger product belongs to EMI class A.

Minimum ground wire size

The DSL lines connected to the Stinger FS and Stinger FS+ can be subject to lightning surges. These surges must be discharged to ground through an adequate ground wire.

An adequate ground wire must present a resistance of approximately 0.02 ohms to a

surge of 500 amps. The wire gauges shown in Table C-3 are appropriate for the wire

lengths indicated.

Table C-3. Stinger FS minimum ground wire sizes

Length Wire gauge

0 to 10 feet (0m to 3.05m) 12 AWG (3.31mm²)

10 to 25 feet (3.05m to 7.62m) 9 AWG (6.63mm²)

25 to 50 feet (7.62m to

15.24m)

6 AWG (13.3mm²)

50 to 100 feet (15.24m to

30.48m)

3 AWG (26.7mm²)

Lucent Technologies does not recommend use of a ground wire longer than 100 feet

(30.48m).
