Figure 1-4. ASMi-51 Block Diagram The ASMi-51 modem consists of the following major modules: MSDSL Interface Module translates the received and transmitted data from the line to the DTE interfaces. Modem Glue and BERT Logic Module processes the data from/to the MSDSL interface module. It also generates the pattern signals for the Bit Error Rate (BER) tests. The pattern generator sends a standard 511-bit, pseudo-random pattern to the remote unit when the user activates the modem diagnostic. At the same time, the pattern receiver checks the data received from the remote unit and compares it with the standard 511-bit pattern. If any errors are detected, the ALM LED indicator blinks. The errors or the BER are also displayed in the appropriate menu on the terminal. Administration Data Transfer Module manages the data transfer between the two modems on both sides of the line. Terminal and LEDs Module provides modem status information via LED indicators on the front panel, and communicates with the terminal to display the modem status. The terminal is connected for configuration, control and monitoring of ASMi-51. Modem Controller This module, based on a MC68302 microprocessor, controls the ASMi-51 operation.

Chapter 4 Management from a Terminal

The configuration of ASMi-51 is performed via menu-driven embedded software using a standard ASCII terminal or a PC running a terminal emulation application connected to the front panel CONTROL DCE port. This terminal can be used for performing the following management activities supported by ASMi-51: Modifying setup configuration Monitoring of device status and settings Running diagnostic tests and collecting performance statistics Downloading software updates Restarting ASMi-51.
4.1 Preparing for the Control Session

This section describes how to prepare ASMi-51 and the supervisory terminal for the control session.
Control Port Interface Characteristics

ASMi-51 includes a V.24/RS-232 asynchronous DCE port, designated CONTROL DCE and terminated in a 9-pin D-type female connector. The control port continuously monitors the incoming data stream and immediately responds to any input string received through this port. The terminal can be connected either directly to the ASMi-51 control port, or through a modem or any other type of full-duplex data link. The ASMi-51 control port interface type must be set in accordance with the connection method, as follows: DCE direct connection to terminals. Since terminals usually have DTE interfaces, the connection to the port is made by means of a straight-through cable. DTE connection through a modem or data link. In this case, you need a cross-cable (also called a null modem cable) to connect to the CONTROL DCE connector.
Preparing for the Control Session

4-1
The ASMi-51 control port can be configured to communicate at the following rates: 9.6, 19.2, 38.4 or 57.6 kbps. The word format consists of one stop bit and 7 or 8 data bits; parity can be odd, even or disabled. For multidrop operation, each ASMi-51 (local or remote) can be assigned a node number in the range of 1 through 255. Assigning node number 0 to the ASMi-51 means that it will accept and answer any message: this is not permitted in multidrop operation. Node number 0 is however recommended for use with both point-to-point and dial-up modes. Each ASMi-51 can be assigned a logical name of up to eight characters. The logical name is sent in each transmission of alarm messages. The name helps the operator to identify the source of messages that are received by the terminal.
Preparing the Terminal

Any standard ASCII terminal (a dumb terminal or a personal computer running a terminal emulation application) equipped with a V.24/RS-232 communication interface can be used to configure ASMi-51.
Control Port Handshaking Protocol

The control lines used in each DCE and DTE mode and the direction of the control signals are detailed in the following table. Table 4-1. Control Port Control Signals
Control Line DCE CTS DCD DSR DTR RI RTS Out Out Out In Not Used In Interface Type DTE Not Used Out Out In In In
Data Terminal Ready (DTR) When connected and turned on, the terminal sets the DTR line ON (active) to gain control over ASMi-51 and starts a configuration or monitoring session.
4-2
Preparing for the Control Session

Initiating a Control Session

To initiate a control session: 1. Connect the terminal cable to the CONTROL DCE connector of ASMi-51. 2. Turn the control terminal on. 3. Configure the terminal to the default communication parameters: 9.6 kbps, one start bit, eight data bits, no parity, one stop bit. 4. Select the full-duplex mode. 5. Turn the terminal echo off. 6. Disable any type of flow control. You are now ready to start a control session.

4.7 Installing New Software Releases

This section presents procedures for installing new software releases into the ASMi-51 units. The modem stores two software versions, each of them in one of the two 512-byte sections of its Flash memory, which also contains a boot program. The software is stored in compressed format. The active version is decompressed and loaded into the ASMi-51 RAM upon power-up. The passive software is kept for the backup purposes. By default, ASMi-51 is delivered with the active software only. The new software releases are distributed on diskettes as an *.img file, which is downloaded to the local or remote modem using the XMODEM protocol. Upon downloading, the new software release becomes active, the former active software turns into passive, and the former passive is erased. If a failure occurs during downloading or decompression, the new version is erased from the Flash and the passive version becomes active. In this case, only one version is left stored in the Flash memory. If an active software becomes corrupted, you can replace it with the passive in both local and remote ASMi-51 units.

5.1 Error Detection

Power-Up Self-Test
ASMi-51 performs a hardware self-test upon turn-on. The self-test sequence checks the critical circuit functions of the modem. The results of the hardware self-test for the local or remote ASMi-51 are displayed in the Local/Remote Status screen (see Figure 4-28).
Front-Panel LEDs
The status of ASMi-51 is indicated by the ALM, TST and SYNC LED indicators located on the front panel. For the description of LEDs and their functions, refer to Chapter 3.
Alarms
ASMi-51 maintains two alarm buffers: Temporary buffer, holding up to 10 alarms. Displayed by the ASMi-51 management software as Local/Remote Alarms screen (see Figure 5-1). Permanent buffer, holding up to 99 alarms. Displayed as Local Log File (see Figure 5-2).
An alarm enters simultaneously both Local/Remote Alarms display and log file, and the ALM LED turns on to indicate the condition. When the event that caused the alarm is cleared, the alarm is removed from the temporary buffer, but it remains in the log file, enabling you to view the alarm history.

5.3 Performing the Diagnostic Tests

The user-controlled test functions of ASMi-51 consist of the loopback tests, BERT and LEDs test. The purpose of these tests is to determine the source of a break in the data flow. Before executing a test, note the following: Both local and remote ASMi-51 units must be configured and synchronized properly to allow remote loopback activation. Only one loopback can be activated at a time, either on the local or remote unit. The BER test can be run on both units.
Running Loopback Tests

ASMi-51 supports the local analog and remote digital loopbacks as per ITU V.54. Additionally, ASMi-51 features RAD's proprietary local digital loopback Channel Loopback.

Performing the Diagnostic Tests

Running the Local Analog Loopback

The local analog loopback (LLB) checks the performance of the local ASMi-51 modem, the local DTE and connection between them (see Figure 5-6). The LLB can be performed separately on the local and remote modems. ASMi-51 allows you to set the LLB timeout causing the loopback to deactivate automatically after the desired period of time (see Figure 5-9).
Note
The LLB timeout is available only for the local ASMi-51 units.

Note
You can also activate the RLB via appropriate pins of the DTE interface. This type of the loopback activation is not supported by the X.21, G.703 E1 and Ethernet interfaces.
Running the Channel Loopback

In addition to the ITU V.54 diagnostics, ASMi-51 features a proprietary local digital loopback channel loopback (CLB). The channel loopback checks the ASMi-51 DTE interface without disrupting the traffic between the modems (see Figure 5-11).

The Local/Remote Test menu is displayed (see Figure 5-8). 2. Type 2, and press <Enter>. The CLB value in parenthesis changes to ON. 3. Choose 'Save' by typing the appropriate number, and press <Enter> to activate the CLB. The CLB is initiated. The TST indicators light up on both local and remote units.
Deactivating the Loopbacks

You can deactivate a running loopback by typing the number corresponding to the loopback in progress to change its value from ON to OFF and choosing 'Save'. Also, you can deactivate the multiple diagnostic tests running simultaneously by selecting 'Clear All' and then 'Save'. Once a loopback is deactivated, the TST indicators turn off. In case of the LLB, the synchronization between the modems is restored within a few minutes.
Running the BER Testing

ASMi-51 includes an internal BER tester, which tests the line quality and calculates the bit error rate in the data stream. The ASMi-51 BERT transmits a pseudo-random 511-bit pattern according to V.52 standard. A pattern evaluator receives the pattern, compares it to the transmitted pattern and detects errors. You can run BER testing simultaneously on the local and remote ASMi-modems, thus checking the integrity of the link from both sides of the application at the same time.
Note
You can run the BER testing only if the local and remote ASMi-51 units are synchronized.

To activate the BER testing: 1. From the Test menu (see Figure 5-7), type 1 to run the BERT on the local ASMi-51, or type 2 to run the BERT on the remote ASMi-51, and then press <Enter>. The Local/Remote Test menu is displayed (see Figure 5-8). 2. Type 4, and press <Enter>. The BERT value in parenthesis changes to ON. 3. Choose 'Save' by typing the appropriate number, and press <Enter> to activate the BERT. The BERT is initiated. The following LED conditions are observed: The TST indicators light up on both local and remote units. The TD indicator starts blinking on the local unit. The ALM indicator blinks whenever an error is detected.
Running LLB+BERT and RLB+BERT

You can also combine the LLB or RLB with the BER testing by activating a corresponding loopback and BERT simultaneously. In this case, an internal pattern generator connects the standard 511-bit pattern to the transmit input of the DTE interface. The receive output is connected to the pattern evaluator, which compares the received and transmitted patterns, and detects errors. The LLB+BERT checks the local ASMi-51, the local DTE and connection between them. The RLB+BERT check both the local and remote units, and connections between them.

Appendix B IR-ETH Interface Module

B.1 General Description
IR-ETH is an interface module for RAD modems, used for converting the Ethernet (10BaseT or 10Base2) electrical levels to the modem TTL levels. It also converts the Ethernet protocol to HDLC to enable long-distance transmission and avoid the Ethernet collision limitation. IR-ETH includes an internal, self-learning Ethernet bridge, which enables a high performance link between two Ethernet segments at a low transmission rate. The low-speed HDLC transmission is sent over the link using the modem modulation technique. It is converted back to an Ethernet signal at the remote modem. Figure B-1 shows a typical application using an Ethernet interface bridge. Each modem is connected to an Ethernet network via the Ethernet interface bridge.

Appendix D IR-IP Interface Module

D.1 Introduction
Overview
IR-IP is a high-performance, miniature IP router based on RAD's unique IP router chip, the ChipRouter. IR-IP works by taking each Ethernet frame from the LAN and determining whether the IP packet is destined for the IP net on the Ethernet LAN. If not, IR-IP forwards the packet to the WAN (MSDSL) link. IP packets received from the WAN link are automatically forwarded to the LAN if the IP net matches. IR-IP includes hardware filters which handle all filtering operations at wire speed from both LAN-to-WAN and WAN-to-LAN, without dropping a single packet. Filtering and forwarding are performed at the maximum rate of 35,000 and 30,000 frames per second (wire speed), respectively. The buffer can hold 256 frames of maximum size of 1534 bytes and a throughput latency of one frame. IR-IP is available with 10BaseT (UTP) interface and is fully IEEE 802.3/Ethernet v2 compliant. The IR-IP interface can also operate in full duplex Ethernet applications. ASMi-51 equipped with IR-IP interface module can be used as a Frame Relay Access Device (FRAD) with an integral IP router. RFC 1490 is supported for a single DLCI on the WAN link. Detection of the DLCI and the maintenance protocol is performed automatically. This allows the IR-IP to be used as the termination unit of IP services over Frame Relay at the customer premises, opposite a Frame Relay switch in the backbone. Alternatively, Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP) can be run on the WAN link with automatic negotiation on power-up, as well as support for PAP and CHAP authentication. With this feature, IR-IP can operate opposite any PPP compliant access server or backbone router. IR-IP supports HDLC, which is especially important for broadcast and multicast applications where bandwidth overhead is critical. IR-IP supports IP multicast at wire speed, making it suitable for any multicast environment including high speed downstream environments, such as satellite and xDSL. Users on the LAN who register with IR-IP for an IP multicast group using the IGMP protocol filter IP multicast packets at wire speed. Management and advanced configuration are performed via Telnet.

D.4 IR-IP Management Subsystem, General

Introduction
The IR-IP interface module management subsystem supports the following functions: Preliminary configuration Configuration of management access parameters Advanced configuration of IR-IP parameters Collection and display of statistical performance data Maintenance functions, which include: Software downloading Resetting of various subsystems Display of error log Ping utility, for checking IP connectivity. The management subsystem of the IR-IP interface module is a separate, independent entity, and therefore it cannot be managed through the ASMi-51 management subsystem. The communication with the IR-IP management subsystem is made through the local LAN interface connector of the IR-IP module, designated 10BASE-T, using the Telnet protocol. Passwords can be used to prevent unauthorized access.
Accessing the IR-IP Management Subsystem

The IR-IP interface module must be configured in accordance with the specific requirements of the users application before it can be used in the users network. As a result, it is not possible to supply default parameters to enable IR-IP to start service without any preliminary configuration. Therefore, to enable the user to establish Telnet communication and configure IR-IP, IR-IP is delivered with a factory-default set of parameters. The factory-default parameters are automatically used: Before the IP router is configured by the user, e.g., when a new ASMi-51 with IR-IP interface module is put into operation After the users configuration parameters have been erased. When the factory-default parameters are used, the ERR indicator located on the ASMi-51 rear panel, near the IR-IP Ethernet interface connector flashes rapidly (about three times per second).
Note
The flashing of the ERR indicator also serves as a warning to the user that the IR-IP WAN (MSDSL) interface does not send, nor does it receive packets, and therefore IR-IP can be accessed only from the LAN. After configuring IR-IP, it starts normal operation and routes the traffic in accordance with the user-selected configuration parameters. To change the parameters of an already-configured IR-IP, establish communication from a Telnet host using the assigned IP address.
D-4
IR-IP Management Subsystem, General

Default IP Communication Parameters

The default IP communication parameters of the interface module are: The default IP address of the IR-IP Ethernet port is 192.168.205.1, and the default IP subnet mask is 255.255.255.252. The port will accept IP communication only from the IP address 192.168.205.2. Therefore, as long as the factory defaults are in effect, you must assign this address to the Telnet host used to configure IR-IP.
Using the IP learning mechanism, as explained below you can change the default parameters.
Note
In the default configuration, the IR-IP WAN interface is disabled. In order to enable the WAN interface, you have to modify the Ethernet port address or the IP subnet mask.
D.5 Performing Preliminary Configuration

General
The software necessary for performing all the management and configuration functions is stored in the IR-IP interface module, and therefore you only need a regular Telnet host to perform all the activities described in this appendix. A Telnet host is any computer, e.g., an IBM PC or compatible that fulfills the following minimum requirements: A standard 10BaseT Ethernet interface A TCP/IP protocol stack, and therefore is capable of supporting IP communication through the Ethernet interface Telnet client software A ping utility.
Outline of Preliminary Configuration

To perform the preliminary configuration procedure: 1. Connect the Telnet host to the IR-IP interface module. 2. Configure the Telnet host to enable communication with the IR-IP interface module using the default IP parameters. 3. Establish communication with IR-IP and assign the prescribed IP address to its LAN interface. 4. Establish again communication with IR-IP and continue the preliminary configuration in accordance with the Quick Setup Menu section below.
Performing Preliminary Configuration

D-5
Connecting the Telnet Host

Before starting the management and configuration activities, it is necessary to establish IP communication between your Telnet host and the IR-IP interface module. For this purpose, it is necessary to provide a communication path. Because of the method used to assign an IP address to IR-IP Ethernet port, it is recommended to connect the Telnet host directly to the IP router 10BASE-T connector. This is made by connecting an Ethernet cross cable between the Ethernet connector of the Telnet host and the IR-IP connector. However, you may also connect through a common LAN: in this case, connect your Telnet host and IR-IP to Ethernet hub ports using straight cables.
Preliminary Telnet Host Configuration

You can use the IP learning mechanism to configure the IP communication parameters of the IR-IP LAN interface. In this case, skip to the Assigning the Router LAN Interface Address section below. If you prefer to use the factory-default parameters to establish IP communication between your Telnet host and IR-IP, configure the Telnet host as follows: 1. Temporarily configure the host IP address as 192.168.205.2. 2. The initial destination IP address to be used by the host is 192.168.205.1.
Note
The first step in the preliminary configuration process is to assign the desired IP address to the LAN interface of the IR-IP interface module. After an IP address is assigned and saved, you must change the destination IP address of the Telnet host to the new address, otherwise it is not possible to continue the configuration process. At the same time, you can also change the temporary IP address assigned to the host (192.168.205.2) back to its permanent address. The IP address of the IR-IP LAN interface must be configured as part of the preliminary configuration process. To simplify this process, IR-IP includes a simple and convenient IP address learning mechanism. The IP address can be configured and changed at any time, even after the complete IR-IP configuration process has been performed, because it does not affect other configuration parameters. Moreover, the IP subnet mask is automatically adapted to the new IP address.
Assigning the Router LAN Interface Address
IP Learning Mechanism
To simplify the configuration process, IR-IP has a special mechanism for configuring the IP address of its LAN interface. Setting section 1, called IP address learning, of the IR-IP DIP switch (Figure D-3) to ON enables this mechanism. The IP learning mechanism enables IR-IP to learn its LAN interface IP address by receiving frames sent by a ping utility to the prescribed LAN IP address. To use the IP learning mechanism, you do not need to know the current address of IR-IP LAN interface, but only the prescribed IP address.
Note
D-6

The IP address is actually retrieved from the ARP frames sent during pinging to locate the ping destination, not from the ping frames. To ensure that the process is correctly performed, it is recommended to check the contents of the ARP table before starting the ping utility, to make sure that it does not contain the address to be assigned to the IP router LAN interface. To view and edit the ARP table contents: If the Telnet host you are using runs under Microsoft Inc. Windows 95, 98 or NT, use the following procedure to view and edit the ARP table contents: 1. Display the table using the arp -a command. 2. If the table includes the intended IP address, remove it from the table using the arp -d command. If for some reason the IP learning process does not succeed, before repeating it make sure to remove the IP address from the table.
Assigning a LAN IP Address to a New IR-IP

The following procedure enables you to configure the LAN IP address of a new IR-IP router, i.e., a router using the default parameters (see the Accessing the IR-IP Management Subsystem section above). If ASMi-51 is already operating, skip Step 2 in the following procedure. To configure the IP router LAN address: 1. Make sure the preparations described above have been completed, including the configuration of the ping utility. 2. Turn ASMi-51on and monitor the IP router indicators: The INT indicator turns on The ERR indicator lights steadily for approx. 15 seconds, and then starts flashing at a rapid rate (about three times per second). If the ERR indicator turns off, skip to the What to Do If ... section below. 3. Set section 1 of IR-IP DIP switch to ON. The ERR indicator starts flashing faster (approximately four times a second). 4. Send a ping to the new address to be used by IR-IP. A confirmation should be received after the third ping: after the confirmation, the flashing will slow down to approximately twice a second. If your host does not begin to receive ping replies after three unsuccessful attempts, skip to the What to Do If ... section below. 5. Return section 1 of the IR-IP DIP switch to the OFF position. The ERR indicator must turn off. At this stage, the communication with IR-IP router is lost, because its IP address has been changed. Therefore, you must reconfigure the destination IP address of the Telnet host. If you wish, you may also change the temporary IP address assigned to the host (192.168.205.2) back to its permanent address.

D-7
After changing the destination IP address of the Telnet host, it is recommended to turn ASMi-51 off for a few seconds and then back on, before continuing the configuration of the IP router in accordance with the Quick Setup Menu section below. At this time, in Step 2 the ERR indicator turns off after the 15-second interval.
Changing the LAN IP Address of a Configured IR-IP

The LAN IP address of an already-configured IR-IP can be changed while it operates, this means it is not necessary to turn ASMi-51off before starting the configuration procedure. Note however that the IP traffic flow through IR-IP will be disrupted until the other stations in the IP network learn the new address. To change the LAN IP address of an already-configured IR-IP, use the procedure described above for a new IR-IP with the following differences: 1. Configure the destination address of the ping utility to the new LAN interface IP address. It is not necessary to change the Telnet host source address. 2. When ready, set section 1 of the IR-IP DIP switch to ON. The ERR indicator starts flashing faster (approximately four times a second). 3. Perform Steps 4, 5 of the procedure used for a new IR-IP.
What to Do If ...
The INT indicator does not light immediately after ASMi-51 is turned on The IR-IP interface module does not receive power from the ASMi-51 power supply. Service is required.
Note

After the power-up process ends, the INT indicator shows LAN integrity. It may stay turned off without indicating power supply failure. The ERR indicator does not light immediately after ASMi-51 is turned on IR-IP is faulty and must be replaced. After turn-on, the ERR indicator lights for 15 seconds and then turns off. ACT does not light, and there is no response from IR-IP No software loaded into IR-IP. Download software using the procedure described in the New Software Download Menu section below.
After turn-on, the ERR indicator lights for 15 seconds, and then turns off. ACT lights from time to time, but there is no response from IR-IP IR-IP has been configured. If you do not know the current IP address of the LAN interface, erase IR-IP router configuration using the procedure given in the Erasing Users Configuration section below.
No ping replies from IR-IP If your host does not begin to receive ping replies after three unsuccessful attempts, check the physical connection path between the Telnet host Ethernet interface and the IR-IP 10BASE-T connector.
The IP learning process is not successful Check that the prescribed IP address does not appear in the ARP table.

D.6 IR-IP Management Utility

General Operating Procedures
The IR-IP interface module is managed via a simple, menu-driven utility that uses a basic terminal user interface. A typical screen is shown in Figure D-4. As seen in Figure D-4, each screen has a header that identifies the device being configured and its logical name, assigned by the user, followed by the running software revision and date. The bottom line of the screen displays prompts that guide you in the execution of the various activities. Use the following general procedures to perform the desired activity: To change a parameter or to select a menu item, type the corresponding line number. For a parameter, which has a discrete set of values, the parameter values are enclosed in brackets [ ]. To select a new value, press the spacebar to scroll among the available values until the desired value is displayed, and then press <Enter> to select the displayed value. To enter a value which requires free text entry, type in the desired string and then press <Enter>. Use backspace to erase the current string. After all the parameters have been selected, a prompt appears, requesting that you confirm the changes. Select a fixed-pitch system font for the display. Use your operating system documentation to find how to select a proper font. Configure the Telnet utility to use VT-100 terminal emulation.

LAN IP Address
Used to enter the IP address for the IP router LAN interface. This is the address to which nodes connected to the local LAN send packets addressed to the WAN.
LAN IP Mask
Used to enter the IP subnet mask. The IP router supports a maximum of 254 hosts on the LAN, therefore you must use Class C subnet masks. The basic subnet IP mask for Class C addresses, which supports the maximum possible number of hosts, 254, is 225.225.225.0. To help you understand the selection of IP subnet masks, Figure D-7 provides a configuration example for a LAN with 6 nodes: the IP subnet mask for a 6-node IP network is 225.225.225.248.

D-11
Default Gateway
Operation without Default Gateway
The IP interface module is intended to enable the extension of LANs through the ASMi-51 MSDSL link. Therefore, its default routing operation is different from the default routing operation of standard IP routers: IR-IP forwards packets with destinations not located on the local LAN through the WAN interface Packets received from the WAN interface and destined to hosts located on the local LAN are forwarded to the LAN; other packets are discarded.
The default operation is used when the Default Gateway field is blank.
Operation with Default Gateway

You can instruct IR-IP to send packets with destinations not located on the local LAN to a specific router, which is called the default gateway. The default gateway must be connected to the local LAN. To use this option, enter the IP address of another router attached to the local LAN in the Default Gateway field.
Note
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 IP parameters and default gateway. Do not try to guess these parameters.
Read Protocol from DIP Switches

Selecting YES for this parameter forces IR-IP router card to use the WAN protocol selected by section 2 of its DIP switch: PPP or Frame Relay. If you want to be able to select the WAN protocol by means of the Protocol field (parameter 7) of the Quick Setup menu, select NO.
Protocol
Used to select the WAN protocol to be used by the IP router card: PPP, HDLC or Frame Relay. This parameter is available only if the Read Protocol from DIP Switches parameter is set to NO.
D.8 Management Access Menu

Using the Ping Function

The Ping option is used to confirm IP connectivity by pinging other IP hosts. Connectivity is confirmed by receiving a reply from the remote (pinged) IP host. To ping a host: 1. From the Diagnostic Tools menu, type 1 and enter the desired host IP address. 2. Press <Enter> to confirm the destination IP address. 3. To start pinging, type 2 on the Diagnostic Tools screen. After pinging starts, you can monitor the ping status. A typical screen is shown in Figure D-26.
Note
After pinging is started, it continues in the background even if you exit the Diagnostics Tools screen. In this case, a Ping Running message appears in the top upper left-hand corner of the screen. 4. To stop pinging, type 3 from the Diagnostic Tools menu. A Ping Stopped message is displayed. To clear the message and return to the Diagnostic Tools screen, press any key.

Erasing Users Configuration
The user-defined configuration parameters are stored in the IP router card flash memory. After the user-defined configuration parameters are erased, the IP router card automatically loads the default parameters. You may want to erase the current configuration parameters: 1. Before IR-IP is prepared for operation in a new application. 2. When you cannot configure IR-IP because its current LAN-interface IP address and/or the Telnet password, are not known. To erase the users configuration: 1. Turn ASMi-51 off. 2. Set all the four sections of the IR-IP DIP switch (Figure D-3) to ON. 3. Turn ASMi-51 on and monitor the ERR indicator: it must turn on and light steadily. 4. While the ERR indicator is lit (within 15 seconds), set sections 1 and 2 of the DIP switch to OFF.
Note
The IP router configuration is erased. If you do not set sections 1 and 2 to OFF within 15 seconds of power-up, the IP router card ignores the setting of all the four sections to ON and starts normal operation. In this case, it is recommended to turn ASMi-51 off and then back on. To abort the whole operation, turn ASMi-51 off, return all the four-switch section to the desired positions, and then turn ASMi-51 on again. 5. Turn ASMi-51 off, and the return all the four sections of the DIP switch to the desired positions.
D.14
Erasing IR-IP Software
You may erase the IR-IP application software, without erasing the user-defined parameters. After the application software is erased, IR-IP starts its TFTP server application, and waits for the downloading of software by a TFTP client connected to its LAN interface. The procedure to be used to download the application software in this case is also described below. You may want to erase the application software if the downloading of new software using the Device Control menu (see Figure D-16) fails, and IR-IP does not function properly.
Erasing Application Software

To erase the application software: 1. Turn ASMi-51 off.
D-28

2. Set all the four sections of IR-IP DIP switch to ON. 3. Turn the ASMi-51 on and monitor the IP router ERR indicator: it must turn on and light steadily. 4. While the ERR indicator is lit (within 15 seconds), set sections 3 and 4 of IR-IP DIP switch to OFF.
Note
The IP router application software is erased. If you do not set sections 3 and 4 to OFF within 15 seconds of power-up, IR-IP ignores the setting of all the four sections to ON and starts normal operation. In this case, it is recommended to turn ASMi-51 off and then back on. Alternately, to abort the whole operation, turn ASMi-51 off, return all the four switches to the desired positions, and then turn ASMi-51 on again. 5. Turn ASMi-51 off, and the return all the four sections of the DIP switch to the desired positions.
Downloading New Software

After erasing the application software, you can download new software from any computer that can serve as a TFTP client. To enable the downloading, IR-IP automatically activates its TFTP server application with the following factory-default IP parameters: IP address: 192.168.205.1 Subnet mask: 255.255.255.252. Connect the computer serving as a TFTP client to the IR-IP 10BASE-T connector in the way as a Telnet host used for preliminary configuration (see the Performing Preliminary Configuration section). The computer IP parameters must be configured as follows: IP address 192.168.205.2 Subnet mask Default gateway 255.255.255.252 192.168.205.1
To download new software: 1. If necessary, turn ASMi-51 off. 2. Set all the four sections of the IR-IP DIP switch to OFF. 3. Turn ASMi-51 on and monitor the ERR indicator: it must start flashing. 4. Connect the computer to the IP router LAN interface and configure its IP parameters as explained above. 5. Run a standard TFTP client application on the Telnet host, and download the appropriate software file. If the download is successful, IR-IP starts using the new software. If the downloading fails, repeat the download process.

Appendix E IR-E1 2048 kbps Unframed Interface Module

IR-E1 is an interface module for the ASMi-51 modems that converts G.703 E1 unframed signals to TTL levels. The converted data is sent over the modem link using the modem's modulation technique. It is then converted back at the other end into G.703 E1, or any other possible digital interface signal, at 2048 kbps signals.
E.1 IR-E1 Connector Options

The IR-E1 interface module fits into a standalone modem, and is available with two types of physical connections: RJ-45 for balanced twisted pair connection and BNC for unbalanced coaxial connection. Figure E-1 illustrates the ASMi-51 rear panel with IR-E1 interface module. Table E-1 lists the RJ-45 connector pinout.
