Handling Energized Products

General Safety Practices

Do not touch or tamper with the power supply when the power cord is connected. Line voltagesmay be present inside certain products even when the power switch (if installed) is in the OFFposition or a fuse is blown. For DC-powered products, although the voltages levels are usuallynot hazardous, energy hazards may still exist.

Before working on equipment connected to power lines or telecommunication lines, removejewelry or any other metallic object that may come into contact with energized parts.

Unless otherwise specified, all products are intended to be grounded during normal use.Grounding is provided by connecting the mains plug to a wall socket with a protective groundterminal. If a ground lug is provided on the product, it should be connected to the protectiveground at all times, by a wire with a diameter of 18 AWG or wider. Rack-mounted equipmentshould be mounted only in grounded racks and cabinets.

Always make the ground connection first and disconnect it last. Do not connect

telecommunication cables to ungrounded equipment. Make sure that all other cables aredisconnected before disconnecting the ground.

Some products may have panels secured by thumbscrews with a slotted head. These panels maycover hazardous circuits or parts, such as power supplies. These thumbscrews should thereforealways be tightened securely with a screwdriver after both initial installation and subsequentaccess to the panels.

Connecting AC Mains

Make sure that the electrical installation complies with local codes.

Always connect the AC plug to a wall socket with a protective ground.

The maximum permissible current capability of the branch distribution circuit that supplies powerto the product is 16A (20A for USA and Canada). The circuit breaker in the building installationshould have high breaking capacity and must operate at short-circuit current exceeding 35A (40Afor USA and Canada).

Always connect the power cord first to the equipment and then to the wall socket. If a powerswitch is provided in the equipment, set it to the OFF position. If the power cord cannot bereadily disconnected in case of emergency, make sure that a readily accessible circuit breaker oremergency switch is installed in the building installation.

In cases when the power distribution system is IT type, the switch must disconnect both polessimultaneously.

Connecting DC Power

Unless otherwise specified in the manual, the DC input to the equipment is floating in referenceto the ground. Any single pole can be externally grounded.

Due to the high current capability of DC power systems, care should be taken when connectingthe DC supply to avoid short-circuits and fire hazards.

Make sure that the DC power supply is electrically isolated from any AC source and that theinstallation complies with the local codes.


7/104

The maximum permissible current capability of the branch distribution circuit that supplies powerto the product is 16A (20A for USA and Canada). The circuit breaker in the building installationshould have high breaking capacity and must operate at short-circuit current exceeding 35A (40Afor USA and Canada).

Before connecting the DC supply wires, ensure that power is removed from the DC circuit. Locatethe circuit breaker of the panel board that services the equipment and switch it to the OFF

position. When connecting the DC supply wires, first connect the ground wire to thecorresponding terminal, then the positive pole and last the negative pole. Switch the circuitbreaker back to the ON position.

A readily accessible disconnect device that is suitably rated and approved should be incorporatedin the building installation.

If the DC power supply is floating, the switch must disconnect both poles simultaneously.

Connecting Data and Telecommunications Cables

Data and telecommunication interfaces are classified according to their safety status.

The following table lists the status of several standard interfaces. If the status of a given port

differs from the standard one, a notice will be given in the manual.

Ports Safety Status

V.11, V.28, V.35, V.36, RS-530, X.21,10 BaseT, 100 BaseT, Unbalanced E1,E2, E3, STM, DS-2, DS-3, S-InterfaceISDN, Analog voice E&M

SELV Safety Extra Low Voltage:

Ports which do not present a safety hazard. Usuallyup to 30 VAC or 60 VDC.

xDSL (without feeding voltage),Balanced E1, T1, Sub E1/T1

TNV-1 Telecommunication Network Voltage-1:

Ports whose normal operating voltage is within thelimits of SELV, on which overvoltages from

telecommunications networks are possible.

FXS (Foreign Exchange Subscriber) TNV-2 Telecommunication Network Voltage-2:

Ports whose normal operating voltage exceeds thelimits of SELV (usually up to 120 VDC or telephoneringing voltages), on which overvoltages fromtelecommunication networks are not possible. Theseports are not permitted to be directly connected toexternal telephone and data lines.

FXO (Foreign Exchange Office), xDSL(with feeding voltage), U-InterfaceISDN

TNV-3 Telecommunication Network Voltage-3:

Ports whose normal operating voltage exceeds thelimits of SELV (usually up to 120 VDC or telephoneringing voltages), on which overvoltages fromtelecommunication networks are possible.

Always connect a given port to a port of the same safety status. If in doubt, seek the assistance

of a qualified safety engineer.

Always make sure that the equipment is grounded before connecting telecommunication cables.Do not disconnect the ground connection before disconnecting all telecommunications cables.

Some SELV and non-SELV circuits use the same connectors. Use caution when connecting cables.Extra caution should be exercised during thunderstorms.


8/104

When using shielded or coaxial cables, verify that there is a good ground connection at bothends. The grounding and bonding of the ground connections should comply with the local codes.

The telecommunication wiring in the building may be damaged or present a fire hazard in case ofcontact between exposed external wires and the AC power lines. In order to reduce the risk,there are restrictions on the diameter of wires in the telecom cables, between the equipmentand the mating connectors.

To reduce the risk of fire, use only No. 26 AWG or larger telecommunication linecords.

Pour rduire les risques sincendie, utiliser seulement des conducteurs detlcommunications 26 AWG ou de section suprieure.

Some ports are suitable for connection to intra-building or non-exposed wiring or cabling only. Insuch cases, a notice will be given in the installation instructions.

Do not attempt to tamper with any carrier-provided equipment or connection hardware.

Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC)

The equipment is designed and approved to comply with the electromagnetic regulations ofmajor regulatory bodies. The following instructions may enhance the performance of theequipment and will provide better protection against excessive emission and better immunityagainst disturbances.

A good ground connection is essential. When installing the equipment in a rack, make sure toremove all traces of paint from the mounting points. Use suitable lock-washers and torque. If anexternal grounding lug is provided, connect it to the ground bus using braided wire as short aspossible.

The equipment is designed to comply with EMC requirements when connecting it with unshieldedtwisted pair (UTP) cables. However, the use of shielded wires is always recommended, especiallyfor high-rate data. In some cases, when unshielded wires are used, ferrite cores should beinstalled on certain cables. In such cases, special instructions are provided in the manual.

Disconnect all wires which are not in permanent use, such as cables used for one-timeconfiguration.

The compliance of the equipment with the regulations for conducted emission on the data linesis dependent on the cable quality. The emission is tested for UTP with 80 dB longitudinalconversion loss (LCL).

Unless otherwise specified or described in the manual, TNV-1 and TNV-3 ports provide secondaryprotection against surges on the data lines. Primary protectors should be provided in the building

installation.The equipment is designed to provide adequate protection against electro-static discharge (ESD).However, it is good working practice to use caution when connecting cables terminated withplastic connectors (without a grounded metal hood, such as flat cables) to sensitive data lines.Before connecting such cables, discharge yourself by touching ground or wear an ESD preventivewrist strap.

Parity

Parity is an extra bit added to a byte or word to reveal errors instorage (in RAM or disk) or transmission. Even/odd parity meansthat the parity bit is set so that there are an even/odd number ofone bits in the word, including the parity bit. Odd parity meansthat the parity bit is set so that there are an odd number of onebits in the word, including the parity bit.

Node

A point of interconnection to a network.

Packet

An ordered group of data and control signals transmitted througha network, as a subset of a larger message.

Packet Switching

A data transmission technique, which divides user information intodiscrete data envelopes called packets, and sends the informationpacket by packet.

PAP

The Password Authentication Protocol is a simple authenticationprotocol used by a point to point protocol (PPP) to authenticateusers to a network server. This protocol transmits unencrypted

ASCII messages over the network and is considered unsecure. It isused if the server does not support a stronger protocol such asCHAP.

parameters

Parameters are often called arguments, and the two words areused interchangeably. However, some computer languages such asC define argument to mean actual parameter (i.e., the value), andparameter to mean formal parameter. In RAD CLI, parametermeans formal parameter, not value.

Polling

See Multidrop.

Port

The physical interface to a computer or multiplexer, for connectionof terminals and modems.

PPP (Point to Point

Protocol)

PPP is the protocol defined in RFC 1661, the Internet standard fortransmitting network layer datagrams (e.g. IP packets) over serialpoint-to-point links.

PPP is designed to operate both over asynchronous connectionsand bit-oriented synchronous systems, it can configureconnections to a remote network dynamically, and test that thelink is usable. PPP can be configured to encapsulate differentnetwork layer protocols (such as IP, IPX, or AppleTalk) by using theappropriate network.

prompt

One or more characters in a command line interface to indicatethat the computer is ready to accept typed input.

Protocol

A formal set of conventions governing the formatting and relativetiming of message exchange between two communicatingsystems.

Telephone Network)

PSTN is the collection of interconnected systems operated by thevarious telephone companies and administrations (PTTs) aroundthe world.


19/104

RFC (Request for

Comment)

RFC is a numbered Internet informational documents andstandards widely followed by commercial software and freeware inthe Internet and UNIX communities.

RIP (Routing

Information Protocol)

RIP is the companion protocol to IPX for exchange of routinginformation in a Novell network. It is not related to the Internet

protocol of the same name.

RIP-2

Routing information protocol used to discover agents and theroutes that IP packets must traverse. This is done automaticallyusing periodic broadcasts. RIP-2 also supports IP subnets.

Router

An interconnection device that connects individual LANs. Unlikebridges, which logically connect at OSI Layer 2, routers providelogical paths at OSI Layer 3. Like bridges, remote sites can beconnected using routers over dedicated or switched lines to createWANs.

Routing

The process of selecting the most efficient circuit path for amessage.

SAP

SAP is the OSI term for the component of a network addresswhich identifies the individual application on a host which issending or receiving a packet.

Serial Transmission

A common mode of transmission, where the character bits aresent sequentially one at a time instead of in parallel.

Single Mode

Describing an optical wave-guide or fiber that is designed topropagate light of only a single wavelength (typically 5-10 micronsin diameter).

SLIP (Serial Line Internet

Protocol)

SLIP is software allowing the IP, normally used on Ethernet, to beused over a serial line, e.g. an RS-232 serial port connected to a

modem. It is defined in RFC 1055.SNMP (Simple Network

Management Protocol)

SNMP is the Internet standard protocol, defined in STD 15, RFC1157, developed to manage nodes on an IP network.

SOCKS

SOCKS is a security package that allows a host behind a firewall touse finger, FTP, Telnet, Gopher, and Mosaic to access resourcesoutside the firewall while maintaining the security requirements.

Space

In telecommunications, the absence of a signal. Equivalent to abinary 0.


20/104

Spoofing

Spoofing is a technique used to reduce network overhead,especially in wide area networks (WAN). Some network protocolssend frequent packets for management purposes. These can berouting updates or keep-alive messages. In a WAN this canintroduce significant overhead, due to the typically smallerbandwidth of WAN connections.

Spoofing reduces the required bandwidth by having devices, suchas bridges or routers, answer for the remote devices. This fools(spoofs) the LAN device into thinking the remote LAN is stillconnected, even though it's not. The spoofing saves the WANbandwidth, because no packet is ever sent out on the WAN.

SPX (Sequenced Packet

Exchange)

SPX is a transport layer protocol built on top of IPX. SPX is used inNovell NetWare systems for communications in client/serverapplication programs, e.g. BTRIEVE (ISAM manager).

Static Station

A static station is a host which is added manually to an ARP or LANtable.

Stop Bit

Stop Bits mark the end of a unit of transmission (normally a byteor character). In serial communications, where each bit of themessage is transmitted in sequence, stop bits are extra "1" bitswhich follow the data and any parity bit.

Synchronous

Transmission

Transmission in which data bits are sent at a fixed rate, with thetransmitter and receiver synchronized.

T1

A digital transmission link with a capacity of 1.544 Mbps used inNorth America. Typically channelized into 24 DS0s, each capable ofcarrying a single voice conversation or data stream. Uses two pairsof twisted pair wires.

TCP (Transmission

Control Protocol)

TCP is the most common transport layer protocol used on Ethernetand the Internet.

TCP is built on top of Internet Protocol (IP) and is nearly alwaysseen in the combination TCP/IP (TCP over IP). It adds reliablecommunication, flow-control, multiplexing and connection-oriented communication. It provides full-duplex, process-to-process connections.

TCP is defined in STD 7, RFC 793.

TCP/IP stack

(Transmission Control

Protocol over Internet

Protocol)

TCP/IP stack is the standard Ethernet protocols incorporated into4.2BSD UNIX. While TCP and IP specify two protocols at specificlayers, TCP/IP is often used to refer to the entire DoD protocolsuite based upon these, including Telnet, FTP, UDP and RDP.

Telnet

The virtual terminal protocol in the Internet suite of protocols. Itlets users on one host access another host and work as terminalusers of that remote host. Instead of dialing into the computer,the user connects to it over the Internet using Telnet. Whenissuing a Telnet session, it connects to the Telnet host and logs in.The connection enables the user to work with the remote machineas though a terminal was connected to it.


21/104

TFTP (Trivial File

Transfer Protocol)

A simplified version of the File Transfer Protocol that transfersfiles but does not provide password protection or user-directorycapability.

Throughput

number of packets per second (pps).

Traffic Management

Set of actions and operations performed by the network toguarantee the operability of the network, exercised in the form oftraffic control and flow control.

UDP (User Datagram

Protocol)

UDP is an Internet standard network layer, transport layer andsession layer protocols which provide simple but unreliabledatagram services. It adds a checksum and additionalprocess-to-process addressing information. UDP is aconnectionless protocol which, like TCP, is layered on top of IP.

UDP is defined in STD 6, RFC 768.

Hot-swappable plug-in module.

Bridging

KMBE supports standard proprietary functionality. Because bridging is the KMBE

default, you can use KMBE as a bridge with little or no configuration.

IP Routing

KMBE is an IP router that supports:

Static IP net configuration

Dynamic IP net learning using the RIP and RIP-2 protocols

CIDR topologies

Multiple IP nets on the LAN or WAN interfaces

Numbered and unnumbered I/F

IP fragmentation.

IPX Routing

In addition to IP routing, KMBE also supports IPX routing and includes support for

RIP and SAP.

Address Translation (Single IP) and FirewallKMBE includes a feature called Single IP. Single IP, designed by RAD, translates IP

addresses. Single IP can be enabled or disabled. When enabled, KMBE allows

users in a Small Office to connect to the Intranet quickly and transparently.

Connection is via a synchronous link. Single IP also protects all Small Office users

from hackers on the Intranet.

Normally, a LAN requires a complete statically assigned, unique and legal subnet

in order to connect to the Intranet. Single IP allows an entire Small Office to


27/104

Installation and Operation Manual Chapter 1 Introduction

KMBE Kilomux-2100/2104 Applications 1-3

connect to the Corporate Intranet using only one dynamically or statically

assigned IP address.

Solid Firewall

The Solid Firewall feature prevents access from the Intranet into the Small Office

LAN. This feature makes the Small Office LAN invisible to outside users. The Solid

Firewall feature is a simple and foolproof way of protecting security sensitive

Small Offices (e.g. doctors and lawyers) from Intranet hackers.

1.3

Applications

This section gives four examples of the applications KMBE can be used in.

Basic Bridging

Two KMBEs can be used opposite each other in a bridging application. The KMBE

connected to the larger network or to a network with connections to other

networks, is the Main KMBE. The KMBE connected to the smaller network is the

Remote KMBE, see Figure 1-1.

Figure 1-1. Bridging Application

Routing Between Central and Remote Offices

You can use the KMBE as a router to connect a central office to a remote office.

This application allows you to:

Use data compression

Setup firewall protection

Supply Internet access to all of the remote offices through only one Internetconnection.

KMBE modules with thin Ethernet and AUI interfaces do not have additionaljumpers, as all of their remaining functions are programmable. The KMBE module

with UTP interface, however, has one additional switch, designated STN/HUB,

located on the LAN interface card. Figure 2-2also identifies the location of this

switch. The switch is located on the printed circuit side of the module.

The STN/HUB switch controls the connection of the internal transmit and receive

pairs to the external UTP pairs to allow direct connection, without cross cables.

Table 2-2shows the switch settings.

Table 2-2. STN/HUB Switch Settings

Switch Setting Receive Transmit

STN (Station) Pins 1, 2 Pins 3, 6

HUB Pins 3, 6 Pins 1, 2

The correct position of the switch depends on the wiring used in your particular

network. In general:

Set the switch to STN if the KMBE module connects directly to the LAN (thisinterchanges the connections of the receive and transmit pairs).

Set the switch to HUB if the KMBE module connects to an Ethernet hub.

Factory setting is HUB.

Module Installation

The KMBE module can be inserted into, or removed from, an operating chassis

(hot-swappable).

Refer to the system installation plan and insert the module in the assigned I/O

slot of the Kilomux chassis.

The module is ready to start operating as soon as it is plugged into an operating

Kilomux chassis. For module configuration instructions, see Chapter 3.

Normal Indications

After the power-up self-test, either the MAIN or the REM indicator must light,

indicating the selected mode. The LAN RX and LAN TX indicators must light (or

flash), and the ERR LAN and ERR LINK indicators must be off.

The READY indicator will turn on when the LAN and WAN interfaces are ready.

If a links synchronization is lost, the KMBE modules will attempt to re-establish

the link automatically. If the attempt does not succeed, the KMBE modules reset

themselves, and continue the attempts to resynchronize. During these attempts,

the LINK ERR indicator flashes slowly.

KMBE Bridge or Router Configuration

KMBE can be configured as either a bridge or a router. KMBE, by default is

automatically configured in the bridge mode. Decide whether KMBE will be used

as a bridge or a router before you start the configuration.

Configuring KMBE as a Bridge

By default, KMBE is automatically configured in bridge mode. Before you

configure KMBE as a bridge, set the location parameter to Remote or Main. One

of the two KMBEs in the bridge must have the location parameter set to Remote

and the other set to Main:

Remote- If the KMBE you are configuring as a bridge is connected to the

network that is smaller, and has no connections via a router to other

networks

Main- If the KMBE you are configuring as a bridge is connected to the

network that is larger or has connections via a router to other networks.

Configuring KMBE as a Router

You can use KMBE as a router with compression capability to separate networks.

Before configuring KMBE as a router, set the location switch to Main.

3.3 Menus and Screens

This section provides a brief description of the available KMBE menus andscreens.

The Main Menu

The name of the device (KMBE) connected to the terminal is listed at the top of

the screen. The Main menu has five options. To choose an option, type the

number preceding the option.

The fields in the Quick Setup example are described below:

Link Mode

Select this parameter to determine how data is transmitted across the link. When

the mode is synchronous, data bits are transmitted at a fixed rate. The sender

and the receiver are synchronized. The other mode is Frame Relay. Frame Relay is

a packet-switching protocol for connecting devices on a WAN.

Use the space bar to toggle between Synchronous, or Frame Relaymodes.

Routing

Select this parameter to assign the link type. Use the space bar to toggle

between Bridge, IP, IPXor IP IPXlink types.

Selecting IPX link type disables the Single IP and WAN IP Address features, andremoves the corresponding parameters from the screen.

Host IP Setup

LAN IP Address

Select this parameter to enter the IP address. Every device on a TCP/IP network

must have an address to identify it. The IP address is a value consisting of the

network address and the host address on that network. The value assigned to a

network depends on the number of computers on that network.

The IP address is a 32-bit number. The number is made up of 4 parts, with each

part consisting of 3 digits. One part of the address identifies the network and

another part of the address identifies the host. Which numbers in the address

identifies the host is dependent on the IP class.

There are 5 classes of IP addresses. Each class represents a network having a

certain number of computers. For example, a Class C address is given to a

network having between 1-255 computers. Table 4-1gives the ranges for

different classes of IP addresses.

Table 4-1. IP Classes

Class Range

A 0.0.0.0 to 127.255.255.255

B 128.0.0.0 to 191.255.255.255

C 192.0.0.0 to 223.255.255.255

D 224.0.0.0 to 239.255.255.255

E 240.0.0.0 to 247.255.255.255

The numbers in each part of the code are translated into binary. The binary code

identifies the network and the host.

IP addresses are assigned by the Internet Network Information Center (InterNIC).

InterNIC assigns the network ID. Host IDs are assigned by the network

administrator.

LAN IP Mask

Select this parameter to enter the IP mask. The mask is configured automatically

from the IP address class, as shown in Figure 4-1. If you want to change the

default mask, enter a new mask. For example, the IP mask is usually

225.225.225.0. A mask of this sort would allow 254 hosts on the LAN. If you

want to create a subnet which allows 6 users, including KMBE/N, configure the

mask as 22.225.225.248. on KMBE/N and each host that is included on the

subnet.
