Page 13: Introducing The Contivity Extranet Switch
The Nortel Networks Contivity Extranet Switch 1500 Series provides scalable, secure, manageable extranet access for up to 100 simultaneous users across the Public Data Network (PDN). The Contivity Extranet Switch 1500 Series consists of the 1500, 1510, 1520, and 1530 models. - Page 14 Server Intranet Figure 1-1. The Switch provides more security than traditional remote access schemes due to the combination of authorization, authentication, privacy, and access control on a per user basis. Additionally, the IPsec protocol and related Internet Security Association & Key Management Protocol (ISAKMP) and the Oakley key establishment protocol support further enhance the security offering.
- Page 15 The Switch offers RADIUS accounting support and extensive logging, including events, system, configuration, and security logs. Figure 1-2 shows a front view of the Switch. Figure 1-2. The Switch, Front View The Extranet Switch 1500 Series must be placed only in a horizontal position.

Page 23: Power Cord Requirements
CAUTION: You should protect your Switch by plugging it into a surge The power cord must be rated for the available AC voltage, and it must have a current rating which is at least 125 percent of the Switch's current rating. See the “Physical, Electrical” specifications on page A-1. -
Page 24: Lan Interface Connections
LAN Interface Connections The LAN interface is available for the Contivity Extranet Switch 1500 and 1510. There is at least one LAN interface connection, which provides a connection to the Web for management. 100BASE-TX connections require Category 5, twisted-pair wire. The 100BASE-TX specification supports 100 Mb/s transmission over two pairs of Category 5 twisted-pair Ethernet wiring;... -
Page 25: Single V.35 Wan Interface (Optional)
Single V.35 WAN Interface (Optional) The Single V.35 WAN connector is located on a PCI card that offers a separate DB26S connector that provides the signals needed to interface to V.35 equipment. Included in the accessory box is a cable that maps the DB26S signals to a standard V.35 connector. - Page 26 The following notes apply to the Single V.35 WAN Interface: • You will need a DSU/CSU (digital service unit/channel service unit) between the WAN connection and the Switch. • At each end, Cable shield and connector shell must connect respectively to pin A of 34-pin connector and pin 1 of the standard 28-pin connector.

Page 27: T1 Csu/Dsu Wan Interface (Optional)
T1 CSU/DSU WAN Interface (Optional) The T1 CSU/DSU WAN interface is available for the Contivity Extranet Switch 1530. The T1 CSU/DSU WAN crossover cable crosses the blue pair with the orange pair. This is different from the commonly available crossover cable, which crosses the green pair with the orange pair. -
Page 28: Serial Interface Cable (Optional)
Nortel Networks recommends that you use the IP Address Configuration Utility diskette for easy initial IP address configuration (refer to page 4-3 for details). However, Nortel Networks ships a serial cable with the Switch. Optionally, you can use the Serial Interface to provide the Switch with a Management IP Address, subnet mask, and default gateway address (refer to page 4-2 for details). -

Enter a Management IP address for the system. You need this address to manage all system services, such as HTTP, FTP, and SNMP. This address must be accessible from one of the Switch's private physical interfaces. Therefore, the Management IP address must map to the same network as one of the private interfaces. -
Page 35: Ip Address Configuration Utility
The program ExtNetIP.exe is on a diskette labeled IP Address Configuration Utility that accompanies the Switch. You can copy the utility to your hard disk and execute it from there, or you can load it from the diskette drive. The ExtNetIP.exe program launches the IP Address Configuration Utility, which allows you to assign a Management IP address and subnet mask to the Switch. - Page 36 The following display appears while the program searches for an unconfigured Switch.
