Canada Requirements Only

(continued)

Repairs to certified equipment should be coordinated by a representative designated by the supplier. Any repairs or

alterations made by the user to this equipment, or equipment malfunctions, may give the telecommunications

company cause to request the user to disconnect the equipment.

Users should ensure for their own protection that the electrical ground connections of the power utility, telephone lines

and internal metallic water pipe system, if present, are connected together. This precaution may be particularly

important in rural areas.

Caution: Users should not attempt to make such connections themselves, but should contact the appropriate electric

inspection authority, or electrician, as appropriate.

Notice: For equipment using loopstart lines, please note that the Ringer Equivalence Number (REN) assigned to each

terminal device provides an indication of the maximum number of terminals allowed to be connected to a telephone

interface. The termination on an interface may consist of any combination of devices subject only to the requirement

that the sum of the Ringer Equivalence Numbers of all the devices does not exceed 5. The REN is located on the “FCC

Rules Part 68” label located on the bracket of the module, or on the back of the unit.

Canada CS-03 -- Règles et règlements

Av i s : L'étiquette d'Industrie Canada identifie le matériel homologué. Cette étiquette certifie que le matériel est

conforme aux normes de protection, d'exploitation et de sécurité des réseaux de télécommunications, comme le

prescrivent les documents concernant les exigences techniques relatives au matériel terminal. Le Ministère n'assure

toutefois pas que le matériel fonctionnera à la satisfaction de l'utilisateur.

Avant d'installer ce matériel, l'utilisateur doit s'assurer qu'il est permis de le raccorder aux installations de l'entreprise

locale de télécommunication. Le matériel doit également être installé en suivant une méthode acceptée de

raccordement. L'abonné ne doit pas oublier qu'il est possible que la conformité aux conditions énoncées ci-dessus

n'empêche pas la dégradation du service dans certaines situations.

Les réparations de matériel homologué doivent être coordonnées par un représentant désigné par le fournisseur.

L'entreprise de télécommunications peut demander à l'utilisateur de débrancher un appareil à la suite de réparations ou

de modifications effectuées par l'utilisateur ou à cause de mauvais fonctionnement.

Pour sa propre protection, l'utilisateur doit s'assurer que tous les fils de mise à la terre de la source d'énergie électrique,

des lignes téléphoniques et des canalisations d'eau métalliques, s'il y en a, sont raccordés ensemble. Cette précaution

est particulièrement importante dans les régions rurales.

Avertissement: L'utilisateur ne doit pas tenter de faire ces raccordements lui-même; il doit avoir recours à un service

d'inspection des installations électriques, ou à un électricien, selon le cas.

Av i s : Veuillez prendre note que pour tout appareillage supportant des lignes de type “loopstart,” l'indice d'équivalence

de la sonnerie (IES) assigné à chaque dispositif terminal indique le nombre maximal de terminaux qui peuvent être

raccordés à une interface. La terminaison d'une interface téléphonique peut consister en une combinaison de quelques

dispositifs, à la seule condition que la somme d'indices d'équivalence de la sonnerie de tous les dispositifs n'excède pas

1-2 114200-E Rev 00

•Your installation site meets physical, electrical, and environmental

requirements.

•You have the communications devices and the cabling that you need to attach

to the ARN.

Verifying Shipment Contents

You should inspect all items for shipping damage. If you detect any damage, do

not install the ARN. Call the Nortel Networks Technical Solutions Center in your

area, as described in “How to Get Help.”

In addition to the ARN and this guide, your shipping container should contain

several other hardware accessory items. Verify that the items in the shipping

container match those on the packing list affixed to the shipping container.

Refer to the following checklist when verifying the contents of the shipping

container:

__ One power cable for connecting the ARN to a wall outlet.

__ One console/modem cable kit (Order No. 110310) for connecting an optional

local console or modem. The console/modem cable kit contains one 15-foot

AT standard molded serial cable (with DB-9 receptacle to DB-25 plug

connectors) and one null modem crossover adapter (with DB-25 to DB-25

receptacle connectors).

__ Two flange brackets, eight #6 Phillips screws, four #10 cagenut screws and

washers, and four cage nuts for rack-mounting the ARN.

___Four rubber feet for table-top operation.

Figure 1-1 illustrates the ARN hardware accessory items.

Additional Equipment

To install the ARN, you may need some additional items that are not part of the

ARN accessory package. Before installing the ARN hardware, ensure that you

obtain all the cables, tools, and other equipment that you need.

Cables

Unless they were specifically ordered, the cables necessary for your network

configuration are not part of the ARN accessory package. If you do not have the

proper cables, contact your network administrator or see the Cable Guide.

Management Console

You can attach an optional computer terminal or PC as a console to the ARN to

monitor the results of startup diagnostics and perform manual boot configurations.

Or you can attach any AT-compatible modem to allow remote dial-in access to

diagnostics and configuration.

Mounting Hardware

To rack-mount the ARN, you need a Phillips screwdriver and an electronic

enclosure rack that meets the following specifications:

•Heavy-duty steel construction

•Electronic Industries Association (EIA) standard hole-spacing

•Width of 19 in. (48.26 cm) and depth of 24 in. (60.96 cm)

If the rack does not have threaded rail holes, you must use cage nuts (see

Figure 1-1) to use with the cagenut screws.

Note: To use the Netboot, Directed Netboot, or Local Boot options for booting

and configuring the ARN (see Chapter 3, “Operating the ARN”), you must

have a local terminal connected the first time the ARN powers up.

Installing the ARN

114200-E Rev 00 1-5

Verifying Site Requirements

The installation site must provide a certain amount of free space around the ARN

to dissipate heat, as detailed in Ta b le 1 -1.

In addition, the installation site must meet the electrical and environmental

specifications listed in Appendix C.

Installing the ARN

When you are ready to install the ARN in its final location, you have two options:

•Position the ARN on a flat, sturdy, horizontal surface.

•Mount the ARN in an electronic enclosure rack.

Positioning the ARN on a Flat Surface

When positioning the ARN on a flat surface, make sure that the surface is:

•Large enough for the ARN to operate properly (Table 1-1)

•Sturdy enough to support the combined weight of the ARN and any cables

that you connect

You should place the self-adhesive, rubber feet (shipped with the ARN) on the

bottom of the ARN chassis. These feet not only protect the surface on which you

position the ARN, they provide added friction against the weight of any cables

that you attach to the device.

Table 1-1. Installation Space Requirements

Width Depth (minimum) Depth (for servicing)

22.5 in. (57.2 cm) 15 in. (38.1 cm) 25 in. (63.5 cm)

Caution: You must use grounded electrical power outlets with the ARN.

Installing and Operating Passport ARN Routers

1-6 114200-E Rev 00

Rack-Mounting the ARN

For this procedure, you need:

•Two flange brackets and eight #6 Phillips screws (shipped with the ARN)

•A Phillips screwdriver

•An electronic enclosure rack. If the rack does not have threaded rail holes, you

must attach the four cage nuts shipped with the ARN.

•Four #10 cagenut screws and washers (shipped with the ARN)

To rack-mount the ARN:

1. Determine how you want the ARN to fit in the equipment rack.

Multiple holes in the flange brackets provide several options for

rack-mounting the ARN. How you attach the flange brackets determines how

far the router extends outside or remains inside the rack. Figure 1-2 shows

three of the most common locations for the brackets.

2. Attach a flange bracket to each side of the ARN.

a. Align four bracket holes with four holes in the ARN enclosure

(Figure 1-2).

b. Insert a #6 Phillips screw through each hole and into the ARN.

c. Tighten the four screws with a Phillips screwdriver.

Understanding the ARN Module Locations

The ARN is designed to scale to your needs. In addition to either an Ethernet or

token ring base module, the ARN can contain an optional LAN expansion module

and up to two WAN adapter modules (Figure 1-4).

Figure 1-4. ARN Module Locations

The ARN is available in the following base module configurations:

•One Ethernet AUI and Ethernet 10BASE-T interface

•One Ethernet 10/100BASE-Tx interface

•One Ethernet 100BASE-Fx interface

•One Token Ring interface (STP only)

ARN expansion modules provide additional Ethernet (AUI and 10BASE-T), token

ring (STP and UTP), and serial interfaces. Each ARN WAN adapter module adds

one serial, ISDN BRI, V.34 modem, T1/FT1, E1/ET1, 56/64K DSU/CSU, or X.25

PAD interface.

The Ethernet base and expansion modules can also contain an optional data

collection module (DCM). This optional DCM gathers Ethernet statistics for a

remote monitoring (RMON) utility. A subset of these statistics is gathered with a

built-in RMON function on the Ethernet10/100BASE-Tx and -Fx interfaces. See

Configuring RMON and RMON2 on BayRS Routers for information about how to

enable and use each RMON data collection implementation.

Connecting Communications Cables

Gather the communications equipment and cabling that you will attach to the

ARN. If you do not have the proper cables, contact your network administrator or

see the Cable Guide.

Then, complete the steps in the applicable sections:

•“Connecting to an Ethernet Interface” on page 1-10

•“Connecting to a Token Ring Interface” on page 1-13

•“Connecting to a Serial Interface” on page 1-15

•“Connecting to the ISDN Interface” on page 1-17

•“Connecting to the 56/64K DSU/CSU Interface” on page 1-18

•“Connecting to the FT1/T1 DSU/CSU Interface” on page 1-18

•“Connecting to the E1/FE1 DSU/CSU Interface” on page 1-19

•“Connecting to the X.25 PAD Interface” on page 1-21

Connecting to an Ethernet Interface

You can connect an Ethernet cable to any ARN base or expansion module that

contains an Ethernet interface option.

Note: For cable interface descriptions, see Appendix C.

Note: On Ethernet modules that offer two interface types -- an attachment unit

interface (AUI) transceiver interface or a UTP interface -- you can only use one

interface at a time. For example, you can connect to either the AUI transceiver

interface or the 10BASE-T UTP interface on the base module, but you cannot

use both interfaces at the same time.

Installing the ARN

114200-E Rev 00 1-11

Connecting to the AUI

The AUI interface provides broadband, baseband, fiber, and shielded twisted pair

(STP) support, depending on the transceiver and cables you use.

To attach an Ethernet AUI transceiver (drop) cable to the AUI connector on an

Ethernet module:

1. Connect an Ethernet AUI drop cable to the interface labeled AUI

(Figure 1-5).

The cable must have a 15-position D-SUB receptacle.

Figure 1-5. Connecting an AUI Cable

2. Secure the AUI cable using the slide lock on the interface.

3. Connect the other end of the cable to an Ethernet transceiver.

Caution: Connecting the ARN AUI interface directly to the AUI interface on

an Ethernet station violates IEEE 802.3 standards. The AUI interface is

designed only for connection to a transceiver.

Connecting to a Token Ring Interface

You can connect a token ring cable to any ARN base module or expansion module

that contains a token ring interface option. Each of these interface options offers

two token ring interface types: an STP interface or a UTP interface.

Note: You can use only one token ring interface on an ARN base or expansion

module at any time. For example, you can connect to either the STP interface

or the UTP interface on a base module, but you cannot use both interfaces at

the same time.

Chapter 2

Starting the ARN

This chapter describes how to start the Passport ARN router, as follows:

Understanding the Startup Process

To operate, the ARN requires two files: a software image and a configuration file.

Each time you start the ARN, it completes a process to load these files.

•The software image contains a group of executable files that support the

protocols that the network requires. The ARN uses the software image called

arn.exe. The process of obtaining and using this image is called booting.

•To bridge and route traffic, the ARN also needs a configuration file that is

tailored to the network. A configuration file is a binary system file that

contains hardware and software configuration data. The default configuration

file is named config.

Nortel Networks ships the executable and default configuration files on a

PCMCIA flash card, but the ARN can also obtain them over the network. Getting

a file over the network is called network booting, or netbooting. Getting a file

from the router file system, stored in flash memory, is local booting.

When you start the ARN for the first time, it completes an initial startup procedure

to boot and connect to the network using either a default configuration file or one

already customized and available on the network.

You use one of four boot options to complete the initial software startup. Table 2-1

summarizes the four options; the sections that follow provide steps for completing

each option.

the router does not operate.

Starting the ARN

114200-E Rev 00 2-3

You may not be able to use all methods described in this chapter to boot over some

interfaces on your router. For example, you cannot netboot over an FT1/T1

interface. In some cases, you may use one interface to boot your router and then

switch to a different interface (such as the FT1/T1 DSU/CSU) to establish your

initial IP network connection to the management workstation.

Starting the ARN for the First Time

The ARN factory defaults are set to find the image file and configuration file from

the following locations:

•Image file -- on the local PCMCIA flash memory card

•Configuration file -- over the network

These default settings work with the default EZ-Install procedure.

The first time you power on an ARN, the router steps through its diagnostic tests

and then attempts to boot over all of its serial (COM) interfaces using EZ-Install.

If your network administrator has configured the network for the EZ-Install

procedure, the router boots using its local image and obtains its configuration file

over the network. Your network administrator can then connect to the ARN and

manage it remotely. For more information, refer to the next section, “Using

EZ-Install.”

If your network administrator does not configure the network for EZ-Install, the

ARN cannot obtain its configuration file from the network, and the EZ-Install

procedure fails. The ARN then attempts to boot locally with the configuration file

that resides on its flash memory card. Refer to “Using Netboot, Directed Netboot,

or Local Boot” for more information.

If both the EZ-Install and local boot attempts fail, the EZ-Install and local boot

processes repeat until one of the following occurs:

•The ARN boots successfully.

•You interrupt the boot process to enter the ARN monitor.

•You turn off the ARN.

The following sections describe how to use each of the different boot options for

the ARN.

Note: Coordinate the initial startup of the ARN with your network

administrator. To determine which software configuration option is best for

your site and for instructions on setting up a boot server, the network

administrator can refer to Configuring Passport Remote Access.

Starting the ARN

114200-E Rev 00 2-5

Using EZ-Install

EZ-Install is the default installation option provided by Nortel Networks. This

option requires that your network administrator has set up the network so that you

can start the EZ-Install procedure. In addition, this option requires that you:

•Install a flash memory card.

For instructions, see “Installing the Flash Memory Card” on page 1-31.

•Connect at least one serial (COM) interface to the network.

For instructions, see “Connecting Communications Cables” on page 1-10.

To use EZ-Install:

1. Press the power switch on the ARN back panel to the ON position.

The ARN comes on and activates EZ-Install.

2. Ensure that the ARN boots correctly.

When the ARN boots, its LEDs flash in a particular order. For information on

checking the ARN front-panel LEDs to ensure that the installation was

successful, see “Understanding the ARN LEDs” on page 3-1.

Note: If your ARN does not have a COM interface, you must configure the

ARN using one of the other methods such as netboot or directed netboot over

an Ethernet or token ring interface. Or, you may local boot the ARN and run

the Quick-Start script. For more information, see “Using Netboot, Directed

Netboot, or Local Boot” on page 2-6.

Note: If you power on the ARN before the network administrator is ready,

restart the ARN by pressing the reset button on the rear panel. See Chapter 3,

“Operating the ARN” for more information on resetting the ARN.

Installing and Operating Passport ARN Routers

2-6 114200-E Rev 00

Using Netboot, Directed Netboot, or Local Boot

When you netboot or local boot the ARN, you must use a command line interface

that accesses the router software. To use a command line interface, you can:

•Wait for the ARN to local boot (that is, wait for the router to fail EZ-Install

and then attempt to boot using its local configuration file). After the ARN

boots locally, you can log in to the Technician Interface and redefine the boot

process.

•Interrupt the boot process using a break sequence and log in to the ARN

monitor to redefine the boot process.

Using the netboot, directed netboot, or local boot options requires that you:

•Connect any necessary communications cables to access the network.

•Connect a management console.

•Connect the ARN power cable.

•Install a flash memory card.

See Chapter 1, “Installing the ARN” for instructions on how to complete these

tasks.

Interrupting the Boot Process

Interrupting the boot process automatically starts the ARN monitor. Using the

ARN monitor allows you to bypass the EZ-Install procedure.

To interrupt the boot process:

1. Press the power switch on the ARN back panel to the On position.

As the router powers on, your console displays the ARN diagnostic tests.

After successfully completing these tests, the router begins the EZ-Install

procedure and attempts to boot over the network.

Note: Before you power on the ARN, make sure that you have installed the

router and connected the management console equipment you need (see

“Connecting a Management Console” on page 1-23).

Starting the ARN

114200-E Rev 00 2-7

2. While the router is running the EZ-Install procedure, issue a break

sequence from the management console.

The ARN monitor login prompt appears.

Logging in to the Command Line Software

Regardless of the command line software used (ARN monitor or Technician

Interface) the procedures to log in are identical.

To log in to the command line:

1. Type the following command (noting the use of an uppercase “M”) at the

Manager

The Technician Interface or ARN monitor command line prompt appears. You

are now using a command line interface to the router.

2. To use the netboot, directed netboot, or the local boot option, go to one of

the following sections that describes the procedure you want to use:

•“Continuing with Netboot” on page 2-8

•“Continuing with Directed Netboot” on page 2-10

•“Continuing with Local Boot (the Quick-Start Procedure)” on page 2-13

Note: Be sure to issue a break sequence before the boot process completes.

Break sequences can vary, depending on the console type. Some management

consoles have specific “Break” keys on their keyboards; other require a key

sequence to issue a break (for example, Cntrl-C or ~ #). For the break sequence

for your management console, see the PC/terminal documentation.

2-8 114200-E Rev 00

Continuing with Netboot

To use the netboot option, you must have at least one serial, Ethernet, or token ring

interface connected to the network. Before you start the netboot procedure, ask

your network administrator to:

•Verify that the network is set up for the netboot procedure, as described in the

Configuring Remote Access for AN and Passport ARN Routers guide.

•Provide you with the parameter arguments to the interface configuration

command ifconfig you will use in Step 4.

The ifconfig command configures the parameters necessary to load the

software image file and configuration file from a remote server over the

network.

You can use the ARN monitor, Technician Interface, or Site Manager to perform

netboot. However, this guide assumes that you are using either the ARN monitor

or the Technician Interface.

To use the netboot option:

1. At the command line prompt, enter the ifconfig command provided to

you by your network administrator and press the Return key.

The following is a sample command:

ifconfig com1 9.0.0.2 255.0.0.0 9.0.0.3

For more information about the ifconfig command, see “Using the ifconfig

Command” on page A-2.

2. Enter the following command and press the Return key to verify the

configuration you specified in Step 1:

getcfg

Note: Continuing with the netboot option requires that you have already

logged in to either the ARN monitor or Technician Interface command line

software. For instructions, see “Logging in to the Command Line Software” on

page 2-7.

Note: Keep a record of the complete ifconfig command, because you need it

for future reference.

Starting the ARN

114200-E Rev 00 2-9

The getcfg command shows the source location, either local or network, of

the boot image file and the network configuration file. It also shows the

interface configuration settings that you specified using the ifconfig

command.

If getcfg displays the correct information, continue to the next step.

Otherwise, reenter the correct ifconfig command. If you need assistance,

contact your network administrator.

3. Enter the following command and press the Return key to boot the ARN:

boot

Your console displays messages indicating the progress of the netboot

procedure.

4. Ensure that the ARN boots correctly and successfully connects to the

network.

When the ARN boots, its LEDs flash in a particular order. To ensure that the

installation was successful, see “Ensuring a Successful Installation” on

page 3-9.

Contact your network administrator to verify that the ARN is now connected

to the network. Your network administrator can refer to Configuring Passport

Remote Access to troubleshoot any problems.

If you need additional assistance, contact your local Nortel Networks

Technical Solutions Center.

Note: If the ARN cannot find a software image file or a configuration file

using the netboot procedure, it attempts to local boot once. If both attempts

fail, the ARN continues to netboot and local boot until it boots successfully. If

the ARN remains in this loop, follow the steps in “Interrupting the Boot

Process” on page 2-6.

Note: After connecting the ARN to the network, you can replace the local

management console with a modem connection to enable remote dial-in

access.

Installing and Operating Passport ARN Routers

2-10 114200-E Rev 00

Continuing with Directed Netboot

You must have at least one serial, 56/64K DSU/CSU, Ethernet, or token ring

interface connected to the network to use the directed netboot option. Before you

start the directed netboot procedure, ask your network administrator to:

•Verify that the network is set up so that you can start the directed netboot

procedure.

•Provide you with the parameter arguments to the interface configuration

command ifconfig you will use in Step 1.

The ifconfig command configures the parameters necessary to load the

software image file and the configuration file from a remote server over the

network.

•Provide you with the boot configuration commands (bconfig) to use in

Step 2.

The bconfig command lets you specify the location of a startup file. To use

directed netboot, the location must include the following information:

-- The source (either local or network) of the image file and the

configuration file

-- The address of the TFTP server

-- The full directory path description locating the files on the TFTP server

You can use the ARN monitor, Technician Interface, or Site Manager to perform

directed netboot. However, this guide assumes that you are using either the ARN

monitor or the Technician Interface. To manage the ARN from a remote site, refer

to Configuring Remote Access for AN and Passport ARN Routers.

Note: Continuing with the netboot option requires that you have already

logged in to either the ARN monitor or Technician Interface command line

software. For instructions, see “Logging in to the Command Line Software” on

page 2-7.

Note: Keep a record of the complete commands; you need them for future

reference.

2. Enter the bconfig commands provided by your network administrator

and press the Return key.

You must enter one bconfig command to specify the location of the software

image, and another to specify the location of the configuration file.

The following are sample commands:

bconfig image network 192.32.5.8 /usr/arnstartup/arn.exe

bconfig config network 192.32.5.8 /usr/arnstartup/config

For more information about the bconfig command, see “Using the bconfig

Command” on page A-7.

3. Type the following command and press the Return key to verify the

configuration you specified in Step 3:

getcfg

The get configuration data command getcfg shows the location of the boot

image file and network configuration file, the interface configuration settings

Ensuring a Successful Installation

After connecting the ARN to the network, you can ensure a successful installation

by checking the diagnostic LEDs on the front panel of the base module (refer to

Figure 3-1 on page 3-2).

When you power on the ARN, the following sequence of front panel LED activity

should occur:

•All base module LEDs light momentarily; this tests that the LEDs are

operational.

•The Run, Boot, and Fail LEDs count through a short, initial startup sequence.

•The Pwr (power) LED lights and remains on.

•The Run LED begins flashing and continues to flash until the ARN completes

all diagnostic tests.

•As the diagnostic procedure tests each module, the LED representing that

module flashes slowly. If the module passes its diagnostic test, the LED

remains on. If the module fails its diagnostic test, the Fail LED remains on

and the module LED flashes rapidly.

•After completing the diagnostic testing procedure, the boot process begins.

The Run and Boot LEDs indicate the boot status as shown in Table 3-15.

off, indicating that the ARN is operational.

If the LEDs on the ARN light in this sequence, your installation is successful.

Contact your network administrator to verify that the ARN is now connected to

the network.

If the LEDs do not light in this sequence, your network administrator can refer to

Configuring Remote Access for AN and Passport ARN Routers to help

troubleshoot the problem.

Protecting Memory Card Files

Nortel Networks ships each memory card with its read/write protect switch in the

unprotected position (Figure 3-5). After successfully loading the configuration file

and saving your configuration, you may want to write-protect the memory card for

backup purposes.

To change memory card protection, complete the following steps:

1. Remove the memory card as described on page 3-13.

2. Adjust the read-write protect switch, which is located on the edge

opposite the INSERT arrow of the memory card (Figure 3-5).

Figure 3-5. Memory Card Read/Write Protect Switch

3. Reinsert the memory card into the card receptacle (refer to Figure 1-27

on page 1-31).

4-2 114200-E Rev 00

Downloading New Boot and Diagnostic Code

When installating an adapter module as an upgrade to your existing hardware

configuration, you must verify that the ARN contains the minimum required

version of programmable read-only memory (PROM) code for the module you are

installing. BayRS release media includes the latest boot and diagnostic code at the

time it is shipped, but if your upgrade requires newer code, you must manually

download it to the router PROM.

To determine which version of boot and diagnostic code you need when installing

a particular adapter module, see see the module-specific Supplement that ships

with the module, and to the Document Change Notice or the Release Notes

distributed with your BayRS release. For instructions on how to upgrade the

PROM code in flash memory, refer to the Upgrading Routers guide.

Powering Down

Before installing a WAN adapter module:

1. Turn off the ARN.

Set the power switch to 0, off (refer to Figure 1-25 on page 1-30).

2. If present, turn off or disconnect the redundant power supply.

3. Attach an antistatic wrist strap.

You receive an antistatic wrist strap with the adapter module. See the

instructions included with the wrist strap.

The wrist strap directs static electricity from your body to the router chassis,

preventing discharge to sensitive electronic components.

Warning: You cannot hot-swap ARN WAN adapter modules.

Caution: Electrostatic discharge can damage hardware. You must wear the

antistatic wrist strap whenever you handle printed circuit boards.

What to Do Next

Before you can use the WAN adapter module after installation, you must start the

router on the network and modify its configuration file to include the new

interface.

See your module-specific Supplement for a list of software installation tasks and

related documentation.

Please note the following:

•BayRS recognizes the ARN WAN adapter module interfaces by their

front-panel slot number. For example, even if there is no adapter module

installed in slot 1, the interface in slot 2 is named COM2 or ISDN2.

•Configuring software for additional interfaces may increase the ARN memory

requirements.

Appendix A

Configuring the ARN for Netboot and

Directed Netboot

This appendix describes how to configure the Passport ARN router for Netboot

and Directed Netboot, as follows:

The ifconfig and bconfig commands configure the ARN for netboot and directed

netboot.

•Use the ifconfig command to configure the router initial IP interface to the

network. You need this information to complete the procedure in “Continuing

with Netboot” on page 2-8.

•Use the bconfig command to specify the location and name of the ARN

software image file and the configuration file. You need this information to

complete the procedure in “Continuing with Directed Netboot” on page 2-10.

To determine the appropriate ifconfig command and bconfig commands for the

ARN at your site, contact your network administrator. (Your network

administrator has information on these commands in Configuring Passport

Remote Access.)

Using the ifconfig Command

A router interface cannot communicate in an IP network without an IP address.

Because an ARN netboots over one of its serial, 56/64K DSU/CSU, Ethernet, or

token ring links, the netboot interface must have a valid IP address.

You use the interface configuration command ifconfig to do the following:

•Configure the router’s initial IP interface to the network. (The initial IP

interface should be a serial interface if you are using EZ-Install.) You also use

the same procedure to configure other serial interfaces for the netbooting

procedure.

•Configure Ethernet or token ring interfaces for the netbooting procedure.

•Enable or disable netbooting on an interface.

Configuring an IP Serial or 56/64K DSU/CSU Interface for Netbooting

Configure a serial or 56/64K DSU/CSU (COM) interface to the IP network using

the following interface configuration command:

ifconfig [<

synchronous_options>

]

[

<IP_address> <subnet_mask>

[

<next_hop_address>

]]

The

synchronous options

variable indicates some combination of the following

settings:

[-d | -r [56 | 64] | -fr [-annexd | -lmi | -annexa]| -int_clk]

Note: Make sure to separate command options with spaces.

114200-E Rev 00 A-7

Using the bconfig Command

You use the bconfig command to configure the boot option.

•To use netboot, you use the boot configuration command bconfig to specify

that the ARN software image file or configuration file resides on the network.

•To use directed netboot, you use the bconfig command to specify the IP

address of the server and the full pathname to the software image and

configuration file.

•To use local boot, you use the bconfig command to specify that the

configuration file and software image both reside on the local file system (that

is, the PCMCIA Flash card).

Format for the bconfig Command

To configure an interface for netboot, use the following format:

bconfig -d [image | config]

To configure an interface for directed netboot, use the following format:

bconfig [image | config] [local | network [

<TFTP_host> <TFTP_pathname>

]]

You must use the bconfig command twice: once to specify the location of the

software image, and again to specify the location of the configuration file.

Refer to Table A-5 for a complete description of the bconfig command.

Table A-5. bconfig Command Settings

Option Description

image Indicates the router’s software image.

config Indicates the router’s configuration file.

local Indicates that the specified file (image or config) resides in the router’s local file system.

network Indicates that the specified file (image or config) resides on a remote file system.

<TFTP_host>

Specifies the IP address of the TFTP server. If both the software image and configuration

file are on the network, both files must reside on the same host.

<TFTP_path>

Specifies the complete pathname of the remote software image or configuration file.

-d Reverts to the default values for the software image or configuration file and nullifies any

previously specified IP address and pathname for the file, thus disabling directed netboot.

Installing and Operating Passport ARN Routers

A-8 114200-E Rev 00

Examples of bconfig Commands

1. Configure the default netboot procedure. Use a local image file and look for

the configuration file over the network using BootP.

bconfig -d image (or

bconfig image local)

bconfig -d config (or

bconfig config network)

2. Use netboot for both the image file and the configuration file.

bconfig image network

3. Use a local configuration file and use directed netboot for the software image

file.

bconfig image network 21.3.5.62 /usr/mykernel.exe

bconfig config local

4. Use a local software image file and use directed netboot for the configuration

file.

bconfig image local

bconfig config network 21.3.5.62 /usr/arnstartup/config

5. Use directed netboot for both the software image file and the configuration

file.

bconfig image network 21.3.5.62 /usr/mykernel.exe

bconfig config network 21.3.5.62 /usr/arnstartup/config

Appendix B

Using Local Boot (the Quick-Start Procedure)

This appendix describes how to complete a local boot by running the Quick-Start

script, as follows:

This appendix explains how to local boot the ARN and create an initial Internet

Protocol (IP) interface using the Quick-Start procedure to get the ARN router up

and running on the network. (You can also configure additional interfaces using

Quick-Start, but in most cases your initial IP interface connects you to the

management workstation, where the network administrator uses Site Manager or

some other management tool to fully customize your router’s configuration.)

To start the ARN on the network using Quick-Start, you run the inst_arn.bat script

and enter information at the prompts. The ARN automatically selects options for

some prompts, and you can accept default values for many of the other prompts.

Before You Run Quick-Start

To aid you in answering Quick-Start prompts, some sample worksheets are

provided. Fill them out with assistance from your network administrator. The

worksheets contain options that appear at each prompt when configuring a serial

interface, and space for you to enter your own information. If you are configuring

an interface other than the serial interface, the prompts will differ from what is

shown in the sample worksheets. In that case, use the sample worksheets only as a

guide and review the actual Quick-Start prompts and options carefully before

replying.

Be sure to fill out the worksheets and read all sections of this appendix before you

run the Quick-Start script. The sections in this appendix, “Filling Out the

Worksheets” and “Running the Quick-Start Script,” provide additional

information about the Quick-Start script.

Understanding Quick-Start Connector Names and Numbers

The Quick-Start script assigns a name and number to each interface, depending on

its location on the ARN.

In addition to either an Ethernet or token ring base module, the ARN can contain

expansion modules and adapter modules (Figure B-1).

Figure B-1. ARN Module Locations

Note: Contact your network administrator for assistance in selecting

worksheet responses.

Table B-1 provides the connector names and numbers you should use during the

Quick-Start procedure.

Filling Out the Worksheets

The inst_arn.bat script provides many options for configuring the ARN on a

network. Since typical remote access uses a serial interface over a wide area

connection, this sample describes only the options involved with a serial

configuration.

We suggest the following procedure when you fill out worksheets:

1. Fill out the Global Information Worksheet completely.

The sample worksheet lists options common to all serial interface

configurations.

2. After you record your protocol selections on the Global Information

Worksheet, fill out one Router Protocol worksheet.

Hardware Communications Options

The ARN is designed to scale to your needs. In addition to either an Ethernet or

token ring base module, you can add an optional expansion and up to two optional

adapter modules to the ARN.

The ARN is available in the following base module configurations:

•One Ethernet AUI and Ethernet 10BASE-T interface

•One Ethernet 10/100BASE-Tx interface

•One Ethernet 100BASE-Fx interface

•One Token Ring interface (STP only)

The ARN supports the following expansion modules:

•One Ethernet AUI and Ethernet 10BASE-T interface

•One token ring media access unit interface (STP and UTP option)

•Three serial interfaces

•One Ethernet AUI and Ethernet 10BASE-T interface and three serial

interfaces

•One token ring interface (STP and UTP option) and three serial interfaces

The ARN also supports up to two of the following adapter modules:

•One serial interface

•One ISDN BRI S/T interface

Note: The Ethernet AUI and 10BASE-T base and expansion modules can also

contain an optional data collection module (DCM). This optional DCM

gathers Ethernet statistics for a remote monitoring (RMON) utility. A subset of

these statistics is gathered with a built-in RMON function on the

Ethernet10/100BASE-Tx and -Fx interfaces. If your router has both types of

RMON data collection installed, you can run the built-in RMON function or

the optional DCM module, but not both at the same time. If you have one

configured, the other is shut off. Your network administrator can refer to

Configuring RMON and RMON2 on BayRS Routers for additional information

about how to enable and use each RMON data collection implementation.

Table C-2. Network Interfaces Available on ARNs

Network

Interface Description

Ethernet and

Second Ethernet

Supports the Ethernet and IEEE 802.3 standards that provide LAN connectivity. The

ARN can have up to two Ethernet interfaces: one on the base module and one on an

expansion module.

The Ethernet interface on the base module can be a 10BASE-T, a 10/100BASE-Tx, or a

100BASE-Fx. The 10BASE-T can also be used as an expansion module. There are two

ports available for each 10BASE-T: a 10BASE-T and an 802.3 AUI port; however, you

can use only one of these ports (10BASE-T or AUI) on each module at a time.

The 10BASE-T and 10/100BASE-Tx interfaces provide unshielded twisted-pair

support; the 10BASE-T AUI interface provides broadband, baseband, fiber, and

shielded twisted-pair support, depending on the transceiver and cabling you use. The

100BASE-Fx provides fiber support.

Token Ring and

Second Token

Ring

Supports the token ring and IEEE 802.5 standards that provide LAN connectivity. The

ARN can have up to two token ring interfaces: one on the base module and one on an

expansion module.

The token ring base module supports a 9-pin (DB-9) STP token ring interface. The

token ring expansion module supports both a 9-pin (DB-9) STP connector and a UTP

connector; however, you can use only one port (STP or UTP) on the expansion module

at a time.

Both token ring connector types support the 802.5 media access control (MAC)

token-passing protocol, the 802.2 Type 1 (connectionless) protocol, the 802.2 Type 2

(connection-oriented) protocol, and the 16-Mb/s Early Token Release (ETR) protocol

over the appropriate cabling.

(continued)

ARN Technical Specifications

114200-E Rev 00 C-5

Serial Provides WAN connectivity. ARN models can have up to five serial ports (three on an

expansion module and up to two adapter modules).

Each port can operate independently with RS-232, RS-422, RS-449, RS-530, V.28,

V.35, and X.21 cables. Serial capability allows internal or external clocking.

ISDN BRI Supports an S/T or U interface. The BRI provides two B channels, and supports full

D-channel signaling and call setup/tear-down as defined in 1988 CCITT (now ITU-T)

Q.921 and Q.931. For more information on ISDN, functional groups, or reference

points, refer to

Configuring Dial Services

The ISDN BRI option is available as an adapter module for any ARN model.

56/64K DSU/CSU Supports a 56/64K DSU/CSU interface.

FT1/T1 and

FE1/E1 DSU/CSU

Provides an interface to convert incoming packet data from an external T1 or E1 line

(using an RJ-48C connector). Because the interface integrates the Channel Service

Unit (CSU) function on each T1 or E1 port, it allows direct connection to the network. A

T1 port can transmit or receive a total of 24 DSO HDLC channels for each DS1 frame.

X.25 PAD Provides an X.25 PAD interface.

V.34 Modem Provides a V.34 modem interface.

Note: For the proper cables or cable pinouts to use for each interface type, see

ISDN BRI U Interface

The ARN supports the BRI standard for ISDN using an optional ISDN/BRI

adapter module. The integrated ISDN BRI functionality allows you to connect

directly to the ISDN network, through a U interface, as opposed to connecting

over a terminal adapter. This solution reduces equipment costs and simplifies

connection to an ISDN switch.

The BRI implementation supports two dial service applications: dial-on-demand

and dial backup. Configuring Dial Services describes these services and how to

configure them for connection to an ISDN network.

X.25 PAD Connections

The ARN provides X.25 PAD functions that enable the router to access X.25

services through the 8 ports of an attached breakout box. The PAD establishes and

maintains links with the packet switch network, assembles and disassembles

packets, communicates with the character terminal, and handles special control

processes for the character terminal.

You connect the X.25 ports using an RS-232-D serial connection as shown in

Table C-12.

RJ-11 Interface (for V.34 Modem)

The ARN supports a V.34 modem connection using an optional V.34 modem

adapter module. The V.34 functionality allows you to connect directly to a phone

line, as opposed to connecting over an external modem. This solution reduces

equipment costs and simplifies connection to a wide area network.

Table C-13 lists the V.34 interface pin assignments.

Local Console Connections

The ARN back panel contains one console service interface, labeled Console; its

DB-9 plug connector provides an RS-232-D serial connection. You use this local

console port to connect the ARN to a PC or VT100 compatible console device for

direct console access.

The Passport ARN shipping package includes the console/modem kit

(Order No.110310) for connecting devices to the Console port.

•To connect a terminal to the Console port, use the complete console/modem

kit, including the cable (Order No.110307) with the null modem adapter

(Order No.110308).

•To connect a PC running Windows NT to the Console port, use the complete

console/modem kit, including the cable (Order No.110308) and the null

modem adapter (Order No.110307) plus a standard AT serial cable with one

DB-25 plug connector, supplied with the PC.

Service Modem Connections

The ARN back panel contains one modem service interface, labeled Modem; its

DB-9 plug connector provides an RS-232-D serial connection. You use this local

console port to connect the ARN to any Hayes compatible modem for remote

dial-in access.

The Passport ARN shipping package includes the console/modem kit

(Order No.110310) for connecting devices to the Modem port. To connect a

modem, use the cable (Order No.110307 from the kit), a standard, 15-foot molded

AT serial cable with DB-9 receptacle to DB-25 plug connectors.

Power Requirements for ISDN BRI and Serial Adapter

Modules

The ISDN BRI and serial adapter modules obtain power from the host chassis and

have the power requirements shown in Table D-14.

The power drawn from the host chassis combined with that required for any other

cards and accessories must be within the power rating of the host chassis.

When you install an ISDN BRI or serial adapter module in an ARN, make sure

that you do not impair the integrity of the network protection from hazardous

voltages used or generated internally by the host chassis.

Clearance and Creepage Distances for ISDN BRI and Serial

Adapter Modules

The clearance and creepage distances (shown as X and Y, respectively, in

Figure D-7 and Table D-15) must be maintained between the card and:

•The host chassis in which it is installed

•Any adjacent cards installed in the host chassis

The exception to this rule is the edge connector, which resides in the host chassis

backplane, where no minimum distance applies.

The creepage distances apply to the normal office environment. When the local

environment within the host chassis is subject to conductive pollution or dry

nonconductive pollution that could become conductive due to condensation, the

creepage distances shown in parentheses in Table D-15 apply.

The clearance and creepage distance between adjacent points should be checked

as follows:

•The clearance distance (X) is the shortest distance between two points

measured through the air.

•The creepage distance (Y) is the shortest distance between two points

measured across a surface.

If in doubt about calculating these distances, obtain advice from a competent

telecommunications safety engineer. Failure to install the ISDN BRI or serial

adapter module according to these instructions invalidates the conditions of the

BABT General Approval agreement.
