Handling Energized Products
General Safety Practices
Do not touch or tamper with the power supply when the power cord is connected. Line voltages may
be present inside certain products even when the power switch (if installed) is in the OFF position or a
fuse is blown. For DC-powered products, although the voltages levels are usually not hazardous,
energy hazards may still exist.
Before working on equipment connected to power lines or telecommunication lines, remove jewelry
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 earth terminal. If an earth lug
is provided on the product, it should be connected to the protective earth at all times, by a wire with a
diameter of 18 AWG or wider. Rack-mounted equipment should be mounted only in earthed 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 are disconnected before
disconnecting the ground.
Connection of 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 power to
the product is 16A. The circuit breaker in the building installation should have high breaking capacity
and must operate at short-circuit current exceeding 35A.
Always connect the power cord first to the equipment and then to the wall socket. If a power switch is
provided in the equipment, set it to the OFF position. If the power cord cannot be readily
disconnected in case of emergency, make sure that a readily accessible circuit breaker or emergency
switch is installed in the building installation.
Connection of DC Mains
Unless otherwise specified in the manual, the DC input to the equipment is floating in reference to the
ground. Any single pole can be externally grounded.
Due to the high current capability of DC mains systems, care should be taken when connecting the DC
supply to avoid short-circuits and fire hazards.
DC units should be installed in a restricted access area, i.e. an area where access is authorized only to
qualified service and maintenance personnel.
Make sure that the DC supply is electrically isolated from any AC source and that the installation
complies with the local codes.
The maximum permissible current capability of the branch distribution circuit that supplies power to
the product is 16A. The circuit breaker in the building installation should have high breaking capacity
and must operate at short-circuit current exceeding 35A.
Before connecting the DC supply wires, ensure that power is removed form the DC circuit. Locate the
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 the corresponding terminal, then the
positive pole and last the negative pole. Switch the circuit breaker back to the ON position.
A readily accessible disconnect device that is suitably rated and approved should be incorporated in
the building installation.
Connection of 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-Interface ISDN, Analog voice
E&M
SELV Safety Extra Low Voltage:
Ports which do not present a safety hazard. Usually
up 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 the
limits 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 the
limits of SELV (usually up to 120 VDC or telephone
ringing voltages), on which overvoltages from
telecommunication networks are not possible. These
ports are not permitted to be directly connected to
external telephone and data lines.
FXO (Foreign Exchange Office), xDSL
(with feeding voltage), U-Interface
ISDN
TNV-3 Telecommunication Network Voltage-3:
Ports whose normal operating voltage exceeds the
limits of SELV (usually up to 120 VDC or telephone
ringing voltages), on which overvoltages from
telecommunication 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.
When using shielded or coaxial cables, verify that there is a good ground connection at both ends. The
earthing 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 of
contact 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 equipment and the mating
connectors.
To reduce the risk of fire, use only No. 26 AWG or larger telecommunication line cords.
Pour réduire les risques s’incendie, utiliser seulement des conducteurs de
télécommunications 26 AWG ou de section supérieure.
Some ports are suitable for connection to intra-building or non-exposed wiring or cabling only. In such
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 of major
regulatory bodies. The following instructions may enhance the performance of the equipment and will
provide better protection against excessive emission and better immunity against disturbances.
A good earth connection is essential. When installing the equipment in a rack, make sure to remove all
traces of paint from the mounting points. Use suitable lock-washers and torque. If an external
grounding lug is provided, connect it to the earth bus using braided wire as short as possible.
The equipment is designed to comply with EMC requirements when connecting it with unshielded
twisted pair (UTP) cables. However, the use of shielded wires is always recommended, especially for
high-rate data. In some cases, when unshielded wires are used, ferrite cores should be installed 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-time configuration.
The compliance of the equipment with the regulations for conducted emission on the data lines is
dependent on the cable quality. The emission is tested for UTP with 80 dB longitudinal conversion loss
(LCL).
Unless otherwise specified or described in the manual, TNV-1 and TNV-3 ports provide secondary
protection 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 with plastic
connectors (without a grounded metal hood, such as flat cables) to sensitive data lines. Before
connecting such cables, discharge yourself by touching earth ground or wear an ESD preventive wrist
strap.

FCD-IPM can be ordered in several configuration options. The main link is always
E1/T1 (E1 over SHDSL), and there is always at least one LAN link. The other
interfaces may be a sub E1/T1 link, analog voice, ISDN backup, n x 64 data port,
or router port.
Main Link and Sublink Characteristics
The FCD-IPM E1 main and sublink meet the requirements of ITU-T Rec. G.703,
G.704, G.706, G.732, and G.823, and support 256N and 256S multiframes
(2 or 16 frames per multiframe, respectively), in accordance with ITU-T Rec.
G.704. For FCD-IPM T1 versions the main and sublink comply to AT&T TR62411
and ANSI T1.403 standards, and support D4 and ESF framing.
The framed mode and use of the CRC-4 function are user-selectable.
FCD-IPM Installation and Operation Manual Chapter 1 Introduction
Functional Description 1-7
The main and sublinks have two line interfaces:
• 120Ω balanced line interface, terminated in an RJ-48C eight-pin (ISO 10173)
connector
• 75Ω unbalanced interface, terminated in two BNC coaxial connectors
• T1 versions have a 100Ω balanced interface.
You can select the E1 interface to activate the LTU option. With the T1 version,
you can choose to activate CSU or DSU.
When a power failure occurs, the failsafe bypass of the sub E1/T1 link ensures the
continuity of voice services between the main and the fix sublink.
The fail-safe bypass of the E1/T1 sub-link is not available for the FCD-IPM units
equipped with SHDSL interface.
E1 over SHDSL
E1 traffic can also be transmitted using 2-wire SHDSL physical interface. The
SHDSL link uses TC-PAM technology and complies with the requirements of the
ITU-T G.991.2 standard. Table 1-1 lists typical FCD-IPM ranges over 2-wire
24 AWG line.

IO Data Channel Interfaces
Each of the two IO data channels can be operated as n x 64k or n x 56k data port
(DCE only).
System Timing Considerations
Internally, FCD-IPM uses one system timing source (clock). This system clock
determines the transit timing of all the E1 links and data ports. The clock source
options are as follows:
• Main link 1
• Sublink (each of them)
• Internal.

Integrated Router
IP Router
FCD-IPM as an IP router supports:
• Static IP net configuration
• Dynamic IP net learning using RIP and RIP-2 protocols
• CIDR topologies
• Multiple IP nets on the LAN
• Numbered and unnumbered interfaces
• IP fragmentation
• RIP1, RIP2 & OSPF Routing Protocols.
IPX Router
FCD-IPM also supports standard IPX routing that includes support for RIP and SAP.
Bridging
FCD-IPM supports bridging. The bridge is used to interconnect a number of LANs
by accessing layer 2 (MAC layer). FCD-IPM automatically extends the scope of any
interface, allowing the interface to interconnect several networks, providing that all
supported interfaces are set to bridge mode.
FCD-IPM Installation and Operation Manual Chapter 1 Introduction
Functional Description 1-9
FCD-IPM interconnects:
• Any LAN to link
• Two LANs of the same Bridge
• Two LANs and link.
FCD-IPM interconnects all of its interfaces to one extended LAN.
FCD-IPM supports standard bridging, as specified in IEEE 802.1D, and can operate
opposite any other third party bridge. Spanning Tree Algorithm is not supported.
Bridging works over PPP, Frame Relay RFC-1490 and also a ‘Native’ protocol.
MAC frames pass in an HDLC format.
Protocols
FCD-IPM supports:
• PPP (Point to Point Protocol) – this protocol supports a variety of links and
connection options
• Frame Relay – a network interface, which provides high-speed frame or packet
transmission with minimum delay and maximum bandwidth utilization.
Management
FCD-IPM features a variety of inband and out-of-band management options. These
options include dedicated time slot, dedicated DLCI, and dial-in connectivity.
You can manage the following capabilities:
• FCD-IPM configuration
• Viewing FCD-IPM status
• Testing FCD-IPM
• Viewing alarm status and history.
The management functions are performed via:
• SNMP management – enables management using the RADview or any other
standard SNMP-based management systems.
• Telnet – enables a remote IP host to control the operation of FCD-IPM using
functions identical to those provided by a supervision terminal.
• Supervision terminal – an ASCII terminal connected to the RS-232 control port
of FCD-IPM (or a PC running a terminal emulation program) can be used as a
supervision terminal.
Undesired access to FCD-IPM via Telnet or SNMP can be blocked by the firewall,
or password protected. The dual-level management authentication allows access to
router configuration parameters while restricting the access to network
configuration parameters.
Chapter 1 Introduction FCD-IPM Installation and Operation Manual
1-10 Functional Description
Software download is available via the control port using XMODEM and via
LAN/WAN using TFTP. Parameter file download and upload is available via LAN or
WAN using TFTP.
FCD-IPM has an alarm history memory that holds the up to 100 alarms.
Management Using Dedicated Time Slot (DTS)
FCD-IPM features out-of-band management through a dedicated time slot.
The DTS is a management channel that connects directly to the FCD-IPM host
using a separate IP interface, i.e. address, and operates as an additional WAN
interface connected to the management IP network.
This management channel is totally separated from the IP traffic that the integrated
router forwards, so there is no way to expose the manager IP network to
unauthorized IP users.
The DTS channel should be synchronized with other equipment such as a cross
connect unit or router. This can be done with standard WAN protocols such as
Frame Relay and PPP.

Protocol PPP
RFC-1490
Point to Point Protocol. PPP consists of 3 components:
Encapsulation method – for IP datagrams on a serial link PPP supports HDLC
synchronous links.
LCP – Link control procedure to establish, configure, and test the data-link
connection. Having an LCP allows each end to negotiate various options.
NCP(s) – A family of network control protocols specific to different network layer
protocols. The NCPs allow each end to configure network control parameters.
PPP is often used across slow serial lines. It is therefore important to reduce the
number of bytes per frame in order to reduce the latency time. Using LCP, most
implementations negotiate to omitting the constant address and control fields and
reducing the size of the protocol fields from 2 bytes to 1 byte. In addition, when
using IP NCP, most implementations use Van Jacobson header compression to
reduce the size of IP and TCP headers.
Encapsulation method for carrying network interconnect traffic over a Frame
Relay backbone. RFC-1490 also supports a simple fragmentation procedure for
carrying large frames over a frame relay network with a smaller MTU.
DLCI – Every network interface card (NIC) has a Data Link Communication
Identifier (DLCI) that uniquely identifies the node on the network. DLCI enables
connection to the Frame Relay network without configuring Frame Relay
parameters.
DLCI executes congestion control when an explicit congestion notification is
received for the DLCI from the Frame Relay network. The unit reduces the
transmitted information rate of the DLCI and increases it when the congestion
condition is cleared.
Default : PPP
DLCI Number Sets the DLCI identification number.

Select this parameter to enter the IP address. Every device on
a TCP/IP network must have an identification address. 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 consists of 4
parts, where each part consists of 3 digits. One part of the
address identifies the network and another part of the
address identifies the host. The numbers in the address,
which identifies the host, depend on the 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 to
255 computers.
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. 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 like this would
allow 254 hosts on the LAN. If you want to create a subnet,
which allows 6 users, including FCD-IPM, configure the mask
as 225.225.225.248. on FCD-IPM, as well as each host
included on the subnet (refer to Figure 4-4).

Table 4-3. LAN Parameters (Cont.)
Parameters Possible Values Description
Default Gateway
Setting
Select this parameter to set the Default Gateway configuration
(see Figure 4-4). The default gateway is the address to which
frames are sent, if no other address is defined in the routing
table.
The default gateway can be an IP address or a WAN interface.
If you choose to use an IP address, enter the address of the
router, which will deliver the frames. Specifying an IP address
for the default gateway is done with shared media, such as LAN
interface. If you choose to use a WAN interface, the connection
to the router is point-to-point. Choose by interface and enter
interface/DLCI number (for Frame Relay).
Warning: It is very important to obtain the correct parameters
from the system administrator or ISP. The most common
problem when establishing an IP connection is incorrect
configuration of the IP parameters and Default Gateway. Do not
try to guess these parameters.
E1/T1 Settings Prompts to perform advanced configuration on the main link
settings – E1 or T1, depending on your unit. By entering YES
you are sent into the Advanced Configuration menu. For more

Firewall Option
Solid Firewall is a rule-based security mechanism, which monitors incoming and
outgoing traffic and allows or restricts access according to the user-defined criteria
(rules).
You can configure the Solid Firewall to monitor incoming or outgoing traffic on any
WAN and LAN link. The firewall blocks all traffic coming from the unprotected
network segment to the protected section, and allows traffic from protected to
unprotected segments. Only those applications that are enabled via the application
list (e.g. HTTP, FTP, POP3 servers, etc.) are allowed for use. By default, the Solid
Firewall is disabled.
To select the Solid Firewall interface and direction:
1. From the Main menu, select option 2, Security Setup.

intend to set the firewall and traffic type to monitor:
Inbound – The firewall blocks the traffic coming into FCD-IPM via the link
on which the firewall is enabled. The firewall forwards the traffic going out
of the firewall-protected interface to its destination.
Outbound – The firewall blocks the traffic going out of FCD-IPM via the
link on which the firewall is enabled. The firewall grants access to the traffic
coming into FCD-IPM from the network segment attached to the
firewall-protected interface.
5. Press <Esc> and save new values.

E1/T1 Diagnostics
Select this option to display error information for the E1/T1 link. This information
enables you to evaluate the line quality. The errors are accumulated in 15-minute
intervals. FCD-IPM keeps up to 96 intervals (for 24 hours).
In addition, there is a rolling 24 hour total of each error parameter. The rolling
total is displayed for the interval parameter called TOTAL. The interval parameter
called CURRENT is the open interval, which did not yet reach 15 minutes. The
errors counted in the CURRENT interval are not included in the TOTAL interval.
The amount of time that has elapsed is displayed on the right of the CURRENT
parameter line. T1 diagnostics are available only when frame mode is ESF. E1
diagnostics are available only when CRC-4 is enabled.

Parameters Description
Current Errored Seconds (ES) An errored second is any second containing one or more CRC error
events, one or more OOF events, or one or more controlled slip
events.
Unavailable Seconds Out-Of-
Frame (UAS)
An unavailable second out-of-frame is any second in which a failed
signal state exists. A failed signal state is declared when 10 consecutive
severely errored seconds (SES) occur, and is cleared after 10
consecutive seconds of data are processed without a SES.
Severely Errored Seconds
(SES)
A SES is a second with 832 or more CRC error events, or one or more
OOF events.
Bursty Errored Seconds Out-
Of-Frame (BES)
A BES is a second with 2 to 831 CRC error events.
Current Loss of Frame
Counter (LOFC)
The loss of frame (LOF) counter counts the loss of frame alignment
events.
Current Slip Second Counter
(CSS)
A CSS is a second with one or more controlled slip events.
Degraded Minutes (DM) The total number of degraded minutes in the current 24-hour interval.
A degraded minute is a minute in which the bit error rate (BER)
exceeded 1x10-6. This number is updated every minute.

Every device on a TCP/IP network must have an address
for identification. 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. The numbers in
the address, which identify the host, are dependent on
the 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 to 255 computers.
The numbers in each part of the code are translated
into binary code, which 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.
IP Mask Default IP mask for Class A
255.0.0.0
Default IP mask for Class B
255.255.0.0
Default IP mask for Class C
255.255.255.0

A subnet is a portion of a network that shares a
common address component. On TCP/IP networks,
subnets are defined as all devices whose IP addresses
have the same prefix. For example, all devices whose IP
addresses begin with 133.100.100. are part of the same
subnet. An IP mask allows you to filter IP addresses on a
subnet. When an IP address is configured, the IP mask is
automatically configured according to the Class of the IP
Network.
Note: The default IP mask can be edited.
Default Gateway The default gateway defines where frames will be sent,
if no explicit routing is defined in the routing table.
The default gateway can be an IP address or a WAN
interface. If you choose to use an IP address, enter the
address of the router that will deliver the frames.
Specifying an IP address for the default gateway is done
with shared media, such as LAN interface.
If you choose to use a WAN interface, the connection
to the router is point-to-point. Choose by interface and
enter the interface/DLCI number.

The RADIUS (Remote Authentication Dial-In User Service) is a client/server
security protocol. Security information is stored in a central location, known as the
RADIUS server. RADIUS clients, such as FCD-IPM, communicate with the RADIUS
server to authenticate users. Although the term RADIUS refers to the network
protocol that the client and server use to communicate, it is often used to refer to
the entire client/server system.
The three main functions of RADIUS are:
• Authentication
• Authorization
• Accounting.
To perform these functions, you must configure the parameters described in

Link Cost/Metric Assigns a cost to each WAN link for routing purposes. This
parameter affects FCD-IPM’s operation of the corresponding
interface configured to use RIP routing protocol.
Each routing entry is accompanied by a metric, which is the
number of routers through which a packet must go to get to its
destination.
Before updating routing tables, FCD-IPM adds link cost value to
all routing metrics received from this link; this may affect further
routing decisions.
A router will automatically send packets using the lowest possible
metric. If a router is not functioning, FCD-IPM will send the
packets through an interface with a higher metric.

compressed.
In Van Jacobson TCP Header Compression the TCP/IP packet header is
compressed according to RRC 1144. Other protocols running over IP
(for example, UDP, ICMP) are not affected by using Van Jacobson
compression. Since PPP is used for point to point transmissions, both
the local and remote devices must have Van Jacobson TCP Header
Compression enabled for compression to be performed. To verify that
Van Jacobson TCP Header Compression is being performed, open the

BOD
Determines if a line supports multilink PPP (RFC 1990 compliant).
The line does not support multilink PPP
The line supports multilink PPP
The line enables multilink PPP with Bandwidth-on-Demand support
(for ISDN line only).
Permitting multilink PPP means that two neighboring links (or two
ISDN B-channels) will work as a single logical channel, thereby
increasing the total link bandwidth. If you select Permanent, then both
links will be connected simultaneously, independent of bandwidth
utilization. Using BOD permits you to be connected most of the time
with only one B-channel and to be connected with the second channel
for small periods of high bandwidth utilization. This method reduces
connection costs.
If you choose BOD, then configure the following parameters:
Sensibility Direction and Sensibility Timeout.
BOD Sensibility
Direction

Routing Protocol
This parameter sets the type of routing advertisement protocol to be used for each
FCD-IPM interface (LANs and WANs).
If FCD-IPM is configured as a RIP router, it sends/receives information from its
routing table to/from corresponding router(s), learning its environment
dynamically.
Table 5-8. Routing Protocol Settings
Values Description
RIP1 Sends and receives routing information about IP nets only
RIP2 Sends and receives full routing information, including subnets
RIP1+2 Sends information as for RIP2 (full routing information, including
subnets), and receive both RIP1 and RIP2 (routing information about IP
nets only)
OSPF Uses Open Shortest Path First protocol
None FCD-IPM will not negotiate routing information with neighboring
routers
Maximum Transmit Unit
This parameter sets the maximum transmit unit (MTU) for IP fragmentation. Set the
MTU for each interface (LANs and WANs). If a frame is larger than the MTU, it will
be fragmented into smaller units, while it is sent through the specified interface.
DHCP Relay
This parameter enables transmission of DHCP requests to specified IP addresses
via WAN and LAN links.
IP Address Pool Setting (DHCP)
This parameter determines the option for how FCD-IPM assigns IP addresses
dynamically to connected workstations. FCD-IPM uses one of the following
mechanisms to assign IP addresses dynamically to workstations:
Table 5-9. IP Address Pool Setting (DHCP)
Values Description
IPCP
Negotiations
This is a mechanism where the remote router or a workstation
connected to FCD-IPM via a link requests an IP address. This request is
made by specifying zero for the IP address in the IPCP configure
request (PPP).
BOOTP This is a method where another router or workstation sends an
affirmation for an IP address. FCD-IPM uses BOOTP to confirm the IP
address by sending a BOOTP reply packet via a link or LAN. FCD-IPM
using BOOTP supports basic options only.
Chapter 5 Setup Menu FCD-IPM Installation and Operation Manual
5-18 Routing/Bridging Menu
Table 5-9. IP Address Pool Setting (DHCP) (Cont.)
Values Description
DHCP This protocol is an extension to BOOTP and permits FCD-IPM to
supply not only an IP address but also additional parameters, such as
Default Gateway, DNS server addresses etc. FCD-IPM supplies these
parameters to the client's workstation. In contrast to BOOTP, DHCP
supplies these parameters on a temporary basis. FCD-IPM using DHCP
checks on the workstation periodically. If the workstation is not using
the IP address, the IP address can be supplied to other workstations
later.
FCD-IPM supports all these mechanisms simultaneously.

Backup
Transmits frames. Normally you want all links in enabled status
Does not transmit frames. The link may be permanently
disabled, for example, when testing. A disabled line freezes all
link operation, including connection attempts and forwarding.
If a link is defined as backup to another, then whenever the
main link operates normally, the backup link is disabled. If the
main link fails, the backup link begins to operate and become
enabled. You must that the routing settings are correct so that
traffic will be forwarded to the desired destination via the
backup link. When you restore the main link connection, the
backup link becomes disabled again.
Type Synchronous
Asynchronous
Frame Relay
Data bits are transmitted at a fixed rate, because the sender and
the receiver are synchronized
Units of data are sent one character at a time. Characters are
preceded by start bits and followed by stop bits, which provide
synchronization at the receive terminal.

Protocol)
PPP supports two types of security systems:
CHAP is a type of authentication in which the authentication agent
(typically a network server) sends the client program a key to be used
to encrypt the username and password. This enables the username and
password to be transmitted in an encrypted form to protect them
against hackers.
PAP is the most basic form of authentication, in which a user's name
and password are transmitted over a network and compared to a table
of name-password pairs. Typically, the passwords stored in the table
are encrypted. The main weakness of PAP is that both the username
and password are transmitted in an unencrypted form.

FCD-IPM script is a sequence of commands, with a maximum of 20 commands in
the script. As soon as a physical connection to the remote host is achieved (and the
script is enabled), FCD-IPM begins to forward the script. Script processing finishes
when the last script command has been forwarded.
FCD-IPM script comprises one or more command lines. Each command line
consists of a Command Code followed by an Argument.
Command Code
The command codes are described in Table 5-28.
Table 5-28. Command Codes
Command Code Description
waitcase pattern Waits until the specified case-sensitive pattern is received from the remote host and
forwards the next command. The maximum pattern length is 24 characters.
Or, waits until timeout (default = 15 seconds). The link then disconnects and
FCD-IPM performs the same actions as required during authentication failure.
waitnocase pattern Same as waitcase pattern except not case sensitive.
send pattern Transmits specified pattern to remote host. The pattern can contain any recognized
control symbols. The maximum pattern length is 24 characters.
sendhide pattern As above. However, the pattern is displayed on the screen as asterisks. The control
symbol is displayed as two asterisks when editing and as one when viewing.
timeout number Changes the timeout for waitcase, waitnocase and getip commands. The number is
the timeout value, in seconds. This value can be any number from 1 to 99 and will be
used until the next timeout command.
delay number The delay in seconds between sending commands. All symbols received during this
time will be ignored. This value can be any number from 1 to 99.
getip number This command waits for an IP address from the remote host. If the remote host
returns several IP addresses in a string, the number specified by this command will
determine which IP address should be used.
If an IP address is received successfully from the host, and the Single IP feature is
enabled, the IP address will be used on FCD-IPM WAN interface. If an IP address is
not received successfully within the specified timeout period, the link disconnects.

Argument
The argument is any string without apostrophes, quotation marks or unsigned
integers (depending on the command). In addition to ASCII symbols, the argument
string can include any control characters with ASCII codes from 1 to 31. While
editing scripting commands, these symbols are entered in the ‘control’ mode i.e.
each symbol is entered as "^", followed by the corresponding ASCII character

forwarding.
Blocking
The block command causes FCD-IPM to test every packet of data that is sent to or
from the LAN. If the packet passes the test, passage is denied.
Example:
You want to ensure that IP/UDP packets do not go on to the link in the direction
of the Internet/Intranet. Thus, you design a filter, which tests each packet to see if
it is an IP/UDP packet. If the packet tests positive, it is automatically blocked.
Forwarding
The forward command works in the same way as the block command. However,
with forwarding, if the packet passes the test, the packet is allowed to pass to or
from the LAN.
Example:
To allow a certain user on the Small Office LAN to access the Internet for FTP
purposes, create a filter to test each packet for the IP host address of the specified
user and the FTP socket of the packet. If the packet passes the test, the packet is
forwarded to the Internet/Intranet.
Multiple Filters
Up to 18 filters can be defined. If there are 2 filters that have contradictory
operations, forwarding takes precedence over blocking.
Example:
You want to allow only one particular user on the Small Office LAN to access the
Internet for FTP purposes. To insure that no one else is able to access the Internet,
create a blocking filter for all traffic going to the link. To do this, from the Blocking
and Forwarding menu enter Block all traffic for Link1. In addition, create a filter to
test each packet for the IP host address of the specified user and the FTP socket of
the packet. Since forwarding takes precedence over blocking, that user's frames are
forwarded.
Chapter 5 Setup Menu FCD-IPM Installation and Operation Manual
5-84 WAN Economy Menu
Definition of Filter Tests
You need to define the filter test which will be applied to every packet that is
transmitted. Use any combination of the following parameters to define the filter
test:
• Protocol
• Operation (block, forward, etc.)
• Interface (LAN, Link)
• Destination and/or source IP address of the packet
• Destination and/or source MAC address of the packet (layer 2)
• IP socket (upper and lower level)
• IP packet type (broadcast, multicast).
Up to 18 filters can be defined. To avoid reducing FCD-IPM performance, minimize
the number of active filters.
Defining Filters
Filters can be defined through the control port, TELNET or SNMP. First decide on
the mode and conditions for a filter, then follow the instructions below to set filter
parameters.
Remember that forwarding takes precedence over blocking. If there is a
combination of filters which contain both operations, the frame will be forwarded.

Table 5-31. Advanced Filter Parameters (Cont.)
Parameter Possible Values Description
Low Level (IP
protocol)
UTP
TCP
ICMP
Toggle to the required low level protocol for the filter. If
the port number is defined in decimal format, specify the
low level protocol as UTP or TCP. If no port number is
defined, specify the low level protocol as UTP, TCP, or
ICMP. Choose True or False.
Low Level (IPX
protocol)
Toggle to the required low level protocol for the filter. If a
socket is defined in the destination address, a low level
protocol or socket number may not be specified.
Conversely, if a socket address or low level is not defined,
a socket number may be specified.
Mask A mask is a test pattern that is used to allow certain frame
patterns only. You define a code against which the frame
is compared.
To create a mask, toggle to Yes. Three pairs of codes and
offsets must be created. The offset defines the point in the
frame at which the comparison is made.
For example, an offset of 8 means that the 8th byte is
compared to the code. The offset can be from the 7th byte
onwards.
The frame is made of 3 different portions:
MAC - is at the beginning of the frame
LLC - is after the source address in the frame
DATA - is after the LLC section in the frame.
For each code-offset pair, select the code format:
Binary - specify 48 address bits to be either 0,1, or X
(unspecified)
Hexadecimal - specify 12 hex digits to be 0-F or X
(unspecified).
For each code-offset pair, choose True or False.
Every frame, at the designated offsets, is compared to the
three codes in the mask. If all three codes and the
True-False condition match the code written in the frame,
the frame passes.
Note: Only one mask can be defined.
Status Active
Not Active
The filter is in use.
Allows you to define filters which can be stored and used
at a later time.
Saving Filter Parameters
All filters are stored in the Flash Memory, thereby preserving them if the power
goes down. When filtering is selected, all of the filters are copied into the RAM.
The RAM copy is then used to activate the software filtering process. Any filter
which is modified, (by clearing all, deleting one, or changing a parameter) goes
into effect immediately. The previous filter also remains in effect until the system is
rebooted.

To save money, you may want to limit the time that a link is kept open. COD
allows you to determine the traffic conditions that open and close the link. Using
COD, a line is opened only when traffic conditions fulfill specified conditions.
When there is no need for a connection, the line is automatically terminated.
COD is only effective if:
• The line is connected to a modem or ISDN (a dialup link)
• The link is asynchronous
• The connection type is Originate or Answer&Originate.
If the connection type is Answer only, the line connection is started when the unit
is turned on in order to receive calls. If the connection type is Originate only or
Answer&Originate the connection starts when a telephone number is defined.

Start Connection is used to determine under which conditions is a
line established. To use this function, the line must not be
designated as answer only. After a physical connection is made,
data is transferred.
The line is established when the unit is turned on. Upon Power Up
is recommended for leased lines only
The line is established when any frame that is directed to the link
arrives
The line is established only when specific types of frames directed
to the link arrive. To determine which frames establish a line, filters
are used to specify the type of frame.
Any number of filters can be used. Filters work as a Boolean "OR";
by specifying a filter for frame type A and filter for frame type B,
you establish a line for Frame type A or Frame type B.
Choosing this option automatically opens the Advanced Filter
menu, with Connect Operation selected
The line is permanently cutoff. In this case, you manually decide
when to activate a line.
Terminate Connection

Terminate Connection is used to determine under which conditions
does a link terminates. Termination takes place only after a physical
connection is made.
The line is never terminated. Never is usually used when Upon
Power Up is used
The line is terminated after a specified time passes without a frame
passing through the line. You specify the time in which a frame
must pass. The default is 60 seconds
The line is terminated after a fixed period of time regardless of the
traffic. The default is 60 seconds
The line is terminated if traffic of a specific type of frame falls below
a certain rate over a period of time. You determine the number of
frames and the time period in which they must pass. Using filters,
you specify which type of frames are counted. If frames other than
those specified pass through, they are not counted.

Example 2:
To lower expenses, FCD-IPM is configured so that a line to the Internet is activated
when there is a need to connect to the Internet and terminates when no frames
are transmitted for 60 seconds. Therefore the following must be defined:
• Start Connection is any frame to forward
• Terminate Connection is no frame to forward for 60 seconds (see Figure 5-93).

The company management wants to allow the PC with the IP address 1.2.3.4 only
access to the Internet. In addition, the connection to the Internet is to be
terminated if 3 frames every 60 seconds are not transmitted from this PC.
Therefore the following must be defined:
• Start connection must be specific frame to forward. A filter which allows only
frames from the 1.2.3.4 IP address must be defined.
• Terminate connection must be no specific frame to forward. A filter which
counts only frames from the 1.2.3.4 IP address must be defined. In addition
the rate must be defined at 3 frames/60 seconds (see Figure 5-94).

need to upload or download files to a FTP site. Any connection to the Internet is to
be done manually. After the file has been uploaded or downloaded the
connection is to be terminated automatically. Therefore the following must be
defined:
• Start connection must be never. Any time someone wants to connect, the user
must connect manually.
• Terminate connection must be upon time out. The time is set to 30 seconds.
• Set filter to FTP only forwarded (see Figure 5-95).

Spoofing is a technique used to reduce network overhead, especially in wide area
networks (WAN). Some network protocols send frequent packets for management
purposes. These can be routing updates or keep-alive messages. In a WAN this can
introduce significant overhead, due to the typically smaller bandwidth of WAN
connections.
Spoofing reduces the required bandwidth by having devices, such as bridges or

A.6 Fiber Optic Interface
FCD-IPM equipped with a fiber optic main link can be used to provide a secure
link in hazardous or hostile environments, increase the maximum connection
range, and achieve immunity against electrical interference and protection against
the deleterious effects of ground loops.
The fiber optic main link interface is terminated in two ST, FC/PC or SC
connectors, in accordance with order. Table A-5 lists the various available fiber
optic interface types and their main specifications (Maximum ranges are calculated
assuming a 3 dB margin).

1550L, 9/125, single mode 25 100/62 SC, ST, FC
All the fiber optic interface options offer high performance and have a wide
dynamic range. This ensures that the receiver will not saturate even when using
short fiber optic cables (saturation is caused when the optical power applied to the
receiver exceeds its maximum allowed input power, and results in very high bit
error rates).

Accessing Boot Manager B-1
Appendix B
Boot Manager
This appendix describes the various options of the Boot Manager.
B.1 Preface
FCD-IPM includes a Dual Image Flash, capable of storing two different versions of
software in two different partitions.
Upon reset, FCD-IPM automatically runs the program stored in the active
partition.
New software versions are loaded into the backup partition. If loading succeeds,
the backup partition becomes the active partition and FCD-IPM is reset
automatically, running the new software version. If loading fails, the device is still
capable of working, since the Flash partition storing the old version remains active.
The Boot Manager can control dual Image Flash. Use the Boot Manager to:
• Download new software
• Manually define the active and backup partitions
• Run the backup partition
• Erase some or all information from Flash.
B.2 Accessing Boot Manager
There are several ways to access Boot Manager:
• Via option 2 in the Software Download menu
• Via the “Rescue” option.
Access via Software Download Menu
To access Boot manager via Software Download menu:
1. In the Advanced Menu, press 3. The Device Control menu appears.
2. Press 1. The Software Download menu appears.
3. Press 2 to display the Boot Manager menu.

Run Backup Partition
Select this option to run the program stored in the backup partition of the Flash
memory. Normally that program is the previous software version.
The “backup” program runs once. The next hardware reset or Boot will run the
program stored in the active partition.
Reactivate Backup Partition
Select this option to turn the backup partition into the active partition (and vice
versa). In this way you can return to the previous software version permanently.
This command may be executed up to 16 times, after which downloading of the
new software will be required. Therefore avoid using this option for a one-time run
of the old version (use the Run Backup Partition option for that purpose).
Duplicate Active Partition
Select this option to duplicate the program stored in the active partition into the
backup partition.
Erase Configuration
Select this option to erase the device configuration parameters. The device
configuration parameters are also stored in the flash memory. Sometimes these
configuration parameters are needed after downloading a new version of Boot
Manager. When the new version's parameter set is not fully compatible with the
previous version's parameters, then you need to erase the previous version's
parameters. You can also use this command to set the device to the default
settings. The Erase Configuration command is also useful if you forget the
password.
Erase All FLASH
Select this option to erase the device configuration parameters, and the programs
stored in both partitions. Remember to download new software before attempting
to operate the device.

SNMP Environment C-1
Appendix C
SNMP Management
This appendix provides the specific information required for managing FCD-IPM
with the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP).
C.1 SNMP Environment
This section describes the SNMP environment.
The SNMP management functions of the FCD-IPM are provided by an internal
SNMP agent, which can use in-band and out-of-band communication.
The SNMP management communication uses the User Datagram Protocol (UDP).
UDP is a connectionless-mode transport protocol, part of the suite of protocols of
the Internet Protocol (IP).
This section covers the information related to the SNMP environment.
SNMP Principles
The SNMP management protocol is an asynchronous command/response polling
protocol. All of the management traffic is initiated by the SNMP-based network
management station, which addresses the managed entities in its management
domain. Only the addressed managed entity answers the polling of the
management station, except for trap messages.
The managed entities include a function called an “SNMP agent”, which is
responsible for interpretation and handling of the management station requests to
the managed entity, and the generation of properly-formatted responses to the
management station.
SNMP Operations
The SNMP protocol includes four types of operations:
• getRequest – Command for retrieving specific management information from
the managed entity. The managed entity responds with a getResponse
message.
• getNextRequest – Command for retrieving sequentially specific management
information from the managed entity. The managed entity responds with a
getResponse message.
• setRequest – Command for manipulating specific management information
within the managed entity. The managed entity responds with a getResponse
message.
• trap – Management message carrying unsolicited information on extraordinary
events (that is, events which occurred not in response to a management
operation) reported by the managed entity.
Appendix C SNMP Management FCD-IPM Installation and Operation Manual
C-2 SNMP Environment
The Management Information Base
The management information base (MIB) includes a collection of managed
objects. A managed object is defined as a parameter that can be managed, such as
a performance statistics value.
The MIB includes the definitions of relevant managed objects. Various MIBs can
be defined for various management purposes, types of equipment, etc.
An object's definition includes the range of values (also called “instances”) and the
“access” rights:
• Read-only - Instances of that object can be read, but cannot be set
• Read-write - Instances of that object can be read or set
• Write-only - Instances of that object can be set, but cannot be read
• Not accessible - Instances of that object cannot be read, nor set.
MIB Structure
The MIB has an inverted tree-like structure, with each definition of a managed
object forming one leaf, located at the end of a branch of that tree. Each “leaf” in
the MIB is reached by a unique path. By numbering the branching points from the
top down, each leaf can be uniquely defined by a sequence of numbers. The
formal description of the managed objects and the MIB structure is provided in a
special standardized format, called Abstract Syntax Notation 1 (ASN.1).
Since the general collection of MIBs can also be organized in a similar structure,
under the supervision of the Internet Activities Board (IAB), any parameter
included in a MIB that is recognized by the IAB is uniquely defined.
MIBs are classified in various classes (branches): the experimental branch, and the
group of private (enterprise-specific) branch. This is to provide the flexibility
necessary in a global structure. Under the private enterprise-specific branch of
MIBs, each enterprise (manufacturer) can be assigned a number, which is its
enterprise number. The assigned number designates the top of an enterprise-
specific sub-tree of non-standard MIBs. Within this context, RAD has been
assigned the enterprise number 164. Therefore, enterprise MIBs published by RAD
can be found under 1.3.6.1.4.1.164.
MIBs of general interest are published by the IAB in the form of a Request for
Comment (RFC) document. In addition, MIBs are also often assigned informal
names that reflect their primary purpose. Enterprise-specific MIBs are published
and distributed by their originator, which is responsible for their contents.
FCD-IPM Installation and Operation Manual Appendix C SNMP Management
SNMP Environment C-3
MIBs Supported by the FCD-IPM SNMP Agent
The interpretation of the relevant MIBs is a function of the SNMP agent of each
managed entity. The general MIBs supported by the SNMP agent are as follows:
• RFC1213
• RFC1215
• RFC1231
• RFC1659 – RS-232
• RFC1398 – Ethernet (dot3)
• RFC1406 – DS1
• RFC1471 – PPP
• RFC1473 – PPP-IP-Group
• RFC1724 – RIP
• RFC2011
• RFC2096 – IP-FORWARD
• ianaIfType
• RFC2233 – IfMIB
• RFC2127 – ISDN
• RFC2128 – ISDN
• RFC2115 – FR
• RFC3276 – SHDSL
• RAD private MIB.
In addition, the FCD-IPM SNMP agent supports the RAD-private (enterprise-
specific) MIB identified as (read the following as a continuous string):
Iso(0).org(3).dod(6).internet(1).private(4).enterprises(1).
rad(164)
Enterprise-specific MIBs supported by RAD equipment, including those for
FCD-IPM, are available in ASN.1 format from the RAD Technical Support
Department.
Management Domains Under SNMP
SNMP enables, in principle, each management station that knows the MIBs
supported by a device to perform all the management operations available on that
device. However, this is not desirable in practical situations, so it is necessary to
provide a means to delimit management domains.
SNMP Communities
To enable the delimitation of management domains, SNMP uses “communities”.
Each community is identified by a name, which is an alphanumeric string of up to
255 characters defined by the user.
Any SNMP entity (this term includes both managed entities and management
stations) is assigned by its user a community name. In parallel, the user defines for
each SNMP entity a list of the communities which are authorized to communicate
Appendix C SNMP Management FCD-IPM Installation and Operation Manual
C-4 SNMP Environment
with it, and the access rights associated with each community (this is the SNMP
community name table of the entity).
In general, SNMP agents support two types of access rights:
• Read-only − the SNMP agent accepts and processes only SNMP getRequest
and getNextRequest commands from management stations which have a
read-only community name.
• Read-write − the SNMP agent accepts and processes all the SNMP commands
received from a management station with a read-write community name.
SNMP agents are usually configured to send traps to management stations
having read-write communities.
Authentication
In accordance with the SNMP protocol, the SNMP community of the originating
entity is sent in each message.
When an SNMP message is received by the addressed entity, first it checks the
originator's community: messages with community names not included in the
SNMP community names table of the recipient are discarded (SNMP agents of
managed entities usually report this event by means of an authentication failure
trap).
The SNMP agents of managed entities evaluate messages originated by
communities appearing in the agent's SNMP Community Names table in
accordance with the access rights, as explained above. Thus a setRequest for an
MIB object with read-write access rights will nevertheless be rejected if it comes
from a management station whose community has read-only rights with respect to
that particular agent.

Glossary
10BaseT - 10BaseT is a LAN protocol that allows stations to be attached via
twisted pair cable.
ARP (Address Resolution Protocol) - ARP is a method for finding a host's Ethernet
address from its Internet address. The sender broadcasts an ARP packet containing
the Internet address of another host and waits for the second host to send back its
Ethernet address.
ARP is defined in RFC 826.
Bandwidth - Bandwidth is the rate at which data passes through the link. The
greater the bandwidth, the more information can be sent through the link at a
particular time.
Bridging - Bridging is the forwarding of traffic between network segments based
on data link layer information. These segments have a common network layer
address.
Broadcast - Broadcast is a transmission to multiple, unspecified recipients. On an
Ethernet network, a broadcast packet is a special type of multicast packet which all
nodes on the network are always willing to receive.
Default Gateway - Default Gateway is a routing table entry that is used to direct
packets addressed to hosts or networks not explicitly listed in the routing table.
DHCP - The Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) provides a framework
for passing configuration information to hosts on a TCP/IP network.
DLCI (Data Link Control Identifier) - DLCI is a channel number that is attached
to data frames to tell the network how to route the data in Frame Relay Networks.
DNS (Domain Name System) - DNS is a general-purpose distributed, replicated,
data query service chiefly used on Internet for translating hostnames into Internet
IP addresses.
DNS is defined in STD 13, RFCs 1034 and 1035.
Dynamic Station - A dynamic station is a host that is added automatically to an
ARP or LAN table.
E1/T1 - E1/T1 services provide high-speed connections. E1/T1 supports Frame
Relay, PPP and HDLC, providing the flexibility to support high-performance point-
to-point or point-to-multipoint topologies.
Firewall - A firewall system controls access to or from a protected network (i.e., a
site). It implements a network access policy by forcing connections to pass through
the firewall, where they can be examined and evaluated.
Frame Relay - Frame Relay is a packet-switching protocol for connecting devices
on a WAN. Frame Relay networks support data rates up to 1.544Mbps.
Appendix D Glossary FCD-IPM Installation and Operation Manual
D-2
I/O - Data Channel Interfaces that can be operated as n x 64k or n x 56k data port
(DCE only).
IP Address - The IP Address is a 32-bit host address. It is usually represented in
dotted decimal notation, e.g. 128.121.4.5. The address can be split into a network
number (or network address) and a host number unique to each host on the
network and sometimes also a subnet address.
IP Address is defined in RFC 791.
IP Mask - The IP mask is a unique 4 byte (32 bit) value that allow the recipient of
IP packets to distinguish between different host IDs.
IP/IPX Routing - IP/IPX Routing is the process, performed by a router, of selecting
the correct interface and next hop for a packet being forwarded. Routing is done
in order to send a packet to a specific destination.
IPX (Internetwork Packet Exchange) - IPX is a network layer protocol used in
Novell NetWare file server operating system.
A router with IPX routing can interconnect LANs so that Netware clients and
servers can communicate.
Leased Lines - A leased line is a private telephone circuit permanently connecting
two points, normally provided on a lease by a local PTT.
MAC (Media Access Control) - MAC is the lower sublayer of the data link layer.
MAC is the interface between a node's Logical Link Control and the network's
physical layer. The MAC differs for various physical media.
MAC Address - The MAC Address is the hardware address of a device connected
to a shared network medium.
Mask - A mask is a filtering aid that is used to define classes of addresses. By
defining classes, any packet can be judged as to whether it should pass the filter or
not.
MTU (Maximum Transmit Unit) - The Maximum Transmission Unit is the largest
frame length which may be sent on a physical medium.
MultiCast - MultiCast is an Ethernet addressing scheme used to send packets to
devices of a certain type or for broadcasting to all nodes.
NAT – Network Address Translation converts source/destination IP/UDP ports
according to management configurations. Address translation allows hosts in a
private network and vice versa. NAT is implemented by modifying end node
addresses en-route and maintaining a state for these updates so that datagrams
pertaining to a session are routed to the right end-node in either realm.
This solution only works when the applications do not use the IP addresses as part
of the protocol itself. Even if the NAT includes a mechanism for changing the
upper layer protocols IP, encrypted frames will fail in the NAT.
NCP (NetWare Core Protocol) - NCP is a Novell trademark for the protocol used
to access Novell NetWare file and print service functions. NCP uses an underlying
IPX or IP transport protocol.
FCD-IPM Installation and Operation Manual Appendix D Glossary
D-3
NetBEUI (NetBIOS Extended User Interface) - NetBEUI is the network transport
protocol used by all of Microsoft network systems and IBM LAN Server based
systems.
Parity - Parity is an extra bit added to a byte or word to reveal errors in storage (in
RAM or disk) or transmission. Even/odd parity means that the parity bit is set so
that there are an even/odd number of one bits in the word, including the parity
bit. Odd parity means that the parity bit is set so that there are an odd number of
one bits in the word, including the parity bit.
PPP (Point to Point Protocol) - PPP is the protocol defined in RFC 1661, the
Internet standard for transmitting network layer datagrams (e.g., IP packets) over
serial point-to-point links.
PPP is designed to operate both over asynchronous connections and bit-oriented
synchronous systems, it can configure connections to a remote network
dynamically, and test that the link is usable. PPP can be configured to encapsulate
different network layer protocols (such as IP, IPX, or AppleTalk) by using the
appropriate network.
Protocol - A protocol is a set of formal rules describing how to transmit data across
a network. Low level protocols define the electrical and physical standards to be
observed, bit- and byte-ordering, and the transmission, error detection and
correction of the bit stream. High level protocols deal with the data formatting,
including the syntax of messages, the terminal to computer dialogue, character
sets, sequencing of messages, etc.
PSTN (Public Switched Telephone Network) - PSTN is the collection of
interconnected systems operated by the various telephone companies and
administrations (PTTs) around the world.
RFC (Request for Comment) - RFC is a numbered Internet informational
documents and standards widely followed by commercial software and freeware
in the Internet and UNIX communities.
RIP (Routing Information Protocol) - RIP is the companion protocol to IPX for
exchange of routing information in a Novell network. It is not related to the
Internet protocol of the same name.
SAP - SAP is the OSI term for the component of a network address that identifies
the individual application on a host which is sending or receiving a packet.
SHDSL is an international standard for symmetric DSL, developed by the ITU
(G.991.2). It provides for sending and receiving high-speed symmetrical data
streams over a single pair of copper wire, at rates between 192 kbps and
2.31 Mbps. SHDSL incorporates features of other DSL technologies, such as ADSL,
SDSL, and will transport T1, E1, ATM, and IP signals.
SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) - SNMP is the Internet standard
protocol, defined in STD 15, RFC 1157, developed to manage nodes on an IP
network.
SOCKS - SOCKS is a security package that allows a host behind a firewall to use
Finger, FTP, Telnet, Gopher, and Mosaic to access resources outside the firewall
while maintaining the security requirements.

Spoofing - Spoofing is a technique used to reduce network overhead, especially in
a WAN. Some network protocols send frequent packets for management
purposes. These can be routing updates or keep-alive messages. In a WAN this can
introduce significant overhead, due to the typically smaller bandwidth of WAN
connections.
Spoofing reduces the required bandwidth by having devices, such as bridges or
routers, answer for the remote devices. This fools (spoofs) the LAN device into
thinking the remote LAN is still connected, even though it's not. The spoofing saves
the WAN bandwidth, 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 in Novell NetWare systems for communications in client/server
application programs, e.g., BTRIEVE (ISAM manager).
Static Station - A static station is a host, which is added manually to an ARP or
LAN table.
Stop Bit - Stop Bits mark the end of a unit of transmission (normally a byte or
character). In serial communications, where each bit of the message is transmitted
in sequence, stop bits are extra "1" bits which follow the data and any parity bit.
Synchronous Transmission - Synchronous transmission is when data bits are
transmitted at a fixed rate. The sender and the receiver are synchronized.
TCP (Transmission Control Protocol) - TCP is the most common transport layer
protocol used on Ethernet and the Internet.
TCP is built on top of Internet Protocol (IP) and is nearly always seen in the
combination TCP/IP (TCP over IP). It adds reliable communication, 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 into 4.2BSD UNIX. While
TCP and IP specify two protocols at specific layers, TCP/IP is often used to refer to
the entire DoD protocol suite based upon these, including Telnet, FTP, UDP and
RDP.
TFTP (Trivial File Transfer Protocol ) - TFTP is a simple file transfer protocol used
for down-loading boot code to diskless workstations.
Throughput - Throughput is the amount of data a communications channel can
carry, usually in bytes per second.
UDP (User Datagram Protocol) - UDP is an Internet standard network layer,
transport layer and session layer protocols which provide simple but unreliable
datagram services. It adds a checksum and additional process-to-process
addressing information. UDP is a connectionless protocol which, like TCP, is
layered on top of IP.
UDP is defined in STD 6, RFC 768.
WAN (Wide Area Network) - A WAN is a network, usually constructed with serial
lines, extending over distances greater than one kilometer.
DC Power Supply Connection – Terminal Block Connector
Note: Ignore this supplement if the unit is
AC-powered.
Certain DC-powered units are equipped with a plastic 3-pin
VDC-IN power input connector, located on the unit rear panel.
Different variations of the connector are shown in Figure 1. All
are functionally identical.
Supplied with such units is a kit including a mating Terminal
Block (TB) type connector plug for attaching to your power
supply cable.
Connect the wires of your power supply cable to the TB plug,
according to the voltage polarity and assembly instructions
provided below.
Caution: Prepare all connections to the TB plug before
inserting it into the unit’s VDC-IN connector.
Preparing and Connecting the Power
Supply Cable with the TB Plug
Refer to Figure 2 for assistance.
1. Strip the insulation of your power supply wires
according to the dimensions shown.
2. Place each wire lead into the appropriate TB
plug terminal according to the voltage polarity
mapping shown in Figure 4. (If a terminal is
not already open, loosen its screw).
Afterwards, tighten close the three terminal
screws.
3. Pull a nylon cable tie (supplied) around the
power supply cable to secure it firmly to the
TB plug grip, passing the tie through the holes
on the grip.
4. Isolate the exposed terminal screws/wire
leads using a plastic sleeve or insulating tape,
to prevent the possibility of short-circuit.
5. Connect the assembled power supply cable to
the unit by inserting the TB plug into the unit’s
VDC-IN connector until it snaps into place.
