CHAPTER 2
SETUP AND INSTALLATION
Only qualified personnel should install the WPIM-T1/DDS. This
User’s Guide is intended for the experienced network equipment installer.
This chapter details set up and installation of the WPIM-T1/DDS into a host platform.
NOTE
QuickSET or Local Management must be used to set up the
WPIM-T1/DDS in management before any connections are made to the WAN. Follow the directions carefully.
2.1
INSTALLING THE WPIM-T1/DDS
For additional support related to the WPIM-T1/DDS, refer to the host platform manual into which the WPIM-T1/DDS is being installed. Locate the guide by clicking on the Cabletron Systems QuickSET program group icon after installing the QuickSET CD on your computer, or see
Related
Manuals in the
Introduction .
NOTE
Some WPIMs require version 1.02 or greater of QuickSET to participate and function correctly in your network. Contact
Cabletron Systems to obtain the latest version of QuickSET if
you do not have it. Refer to Getting Help
in the Introduction
for more information.
2.1.1
Unpacking the WPIM-T1/DDS
Both the WPIM-T1/DDS and the host platform in which the
WPIM-T1/DDS is installed are static sensitive devices. Use a grounding strap and follow all static-safe precautions during installation. Failure to do so could result in damage to the
WPIM-T1/DDS and the host platform receiving it.
1.
Carefully remove the WPIM-T1/DDS from the shipping box.
2.
Visually inspect the WPIM-T1/DDS. If there are any signs of damage,
contact Cabletron Systems immediately. Refer to Getting Help .

2.1.2
Pre-Installation
To prepare the host platform for the WPIM-T1/DDS, proceed as follows:
1.
Turn off and disconnect the host platform from the power source.
2.
Mark all network cables attached to the host platform for ease of re-installation.
3.
Disconnect all network cables attached to the host platform.
4.
Refer to detailed instructions contained in the host platform’s user guide to remove the chassis cover. This procedure must be completed before installing the WPIM-T1/DDS.
2.1.3
Installing the WPIM-T1/DDS
To install the WPIM-T1/DDS into the device, refer to Figure 2-1
and complete the following steps:
!
CAUTION
When removing an existing WPIM, make sure to pull the module straight up to avoid damaging the connector.
1.
Remove the blank faceplate from the appropriate WAN slot by removing the three WPIM screws that secure it to the standoffs.
2.
Orient the WPIM-T1/DDS as shown in Figure 2-1 .
3.
Carefully insert the WPIM-T1/DDS connector into the WPIM connector pins on the device.
4.
Press down firmly on the WPIM-T1/DDS until the pins slide all the way into the connector. Ensure that the WPIM-T1/DDS seats flush on the standoffs.
5.
Secure the WPIM-T1/DDS to the three standoffs with the WPIM screws.

Post-Installation
1.
Reinstall the cover as applicable.
2.
Refer to the host platform user’s guide to reinstall the network cables
and refer to Appendix A for cabling information for the
WPIM-T1/DDS. Do not connect the WAN cable until instructed to do so.
3.
Refer to instructions contained in the host platform user’s guide to reapply power.
4.
After reapplying power, check the LEDs for the following conditions:
• Verify that the PWR LED is on, indicating that the device is receiving power.
• After the host platform runs a self test, the CPU LED blinks green indicating normal operation.
• If the CPU LED remains red, contact Cabletron Systems.

LEDs
The LEDs on the WPIM-T1/DDS indicate the service that the
WPIM-T1/DDS is providing. (See
Figure 2-2 .) If the T1 LED is lit, the
WPIM-T1/DDS is operating in T1 mode. If the DDS LED is lit, the
WPIM-T1/DDS is operating in DDS mode.

2.3
REQUIRED OPERATIONS
The WPIM-T1/DDS must be configured before connecting to the WAN.
The configuration must be performed in the following order:
• Choose T1 or DDS mode (
Section 2.3.1
)
• WAN configuration, using QuickSET or Local Management
(
Section 2.3.2
)
2.3.1
Choosing T1 or DDS Mode
The mode (T1 or DDS) must be chosen before either QuickSET or Local
Management is used to configure the WAN set up.
NOTE
The WPIM-T1/DDS cannot operate in both T1 and DDS mode at the same time. The user must choose one or the other service, but can change it when desired.
When the WPIM-T1/DDS is first powered up, the default is T1.
2-4 WPIM-T1/DDS User’s Guide
Required Operations
This is done using Network Tools, or MIB Navigator, depending on the host platform. Refer to the host platform user’s guide for information on how to navigate through the Local Management screens in order to access
Network Tools.
Follow these steps to configure the WPIM-T1/DDS for T1 or DDS service:
1.
Once in Network Tools, choose between T1 and DDS setup using this command: t1dds <SLOT> <T1/DDS> where SLOT is either 1 for slot one of the host platform for the WPIM, or 2 for slot two, and T1/DDS is either 1 for DDS service, or 2 for T1 service.
2.
Assuming the WPIM-T1/DDS is installed in slot 1, use the following command to allow the WPIM-T1/DDS in slot 1 to perform T1 service: t1dds 1 2
To perform DDS service, use the following command, also for slot 1: t1dds 1 1
3.
Press the ENTER key. The unit automatically reboots and the user must re-enter Local Management.
2.3.2
WAN Configuration
The WPIM-T1/DDS must be configured for WAN operation using either
QuickSET or Local Management before the WAN is connected.
Refer to the QuickSET manual for specific instructions on how to access the Wide Area configuration for the WPIM-T1/DDS. Refer to
Related
Manuals in order to obtain the QuickSET manual.
For Local Management configuration, refer to
Chapter 3 for T1
configuration, or
Chapter 4
for DDS configuration.
The WAN configuration from QuickSET or either
Chapter 3 or
Chapter 4
must be completed before proceeding to the next step.

2.4
CONNECTING THE WAN CABLE TO THE
WPIM-T1/DDS
Before connecting any cabling to the WPIM-T1/DDS, the WAN configuration must be complete. Refer to the previous section for
information ( Section 2.3.2
) if the WAN configuration has not been
completed.
!
CAUTION
DO NOT plug the WAN cable into the external WAN connection until you have properly completed the WAN setup in software. If this cable is plugged in prematurely, before the host unit is configured, the telephone company can disable the WAN line for a period of time. The cable will be plugged in as a final step once you run the QuickSET configuration, or the Local
Management configuration.
The RJ45 cable from the WPIM-T1/DDS must be plugged into the WAN connection wall jack (see
Figure 2-3 , below). The cables are not supplied
with the WPIM-T1/DDS, but may be ordered separately from Cabletron
Systems (cable part number 9372094 for T1, and part number 9360119
for DDS service). Refer to Appendix A for details.
