1) offers high-speed Wide Area Network (WAN) access to remote sites via two WAN Port Interface Modules (WPIMs) to the device into which it is installed.

The WPIM-S/T provides an Integrated Services Digital Network (ISDN) 128 Kbps Basic Rate Interface (BRI) for the HSIM-W6. The WPIM-S/T provides an ISDN back-up link for a remote site or branch office when the main WPIM for a frame relay or leased line loses a connection or becomes disabled.
The LANVIEW LEDs are located on the HSIM-W6 front panel. Remote Management Capabilities The HSIM-W6 can be remotely managed with any SNMP network management system including the following: •...
HSIM-W6 over PPP and Frame Relay. Depending on the packet type and size, hardware data compression provides a minimum of 2:1 data compression, giving 3 Mbps throughput on each T-1 WPIM interface.
Page 23
ISDN BRI is a switched Data Link layer control protocol which uses digital signaling to place a call into an ISDN network. Once the call is made, PPP is then used to transfer data. Chapter 2: About the HSIM-W6 HSIM-W6 User’s Guide...
The IMUX function evenly distributes a data packet stream from the LAN interface through the two WAN interfaces on the HSIM-W6. Since the data traffic is equally shared between the two Full T1 interfaces, each with 1.5 Mbps throughput, the total throughput over the logical link is 3 Mbps, or 6 Mbps full-duplex operation with the optional hardware compression module (CSX-COMP/ENCR) installed in the HSIM-W6.
The HSIM-W6 acts as a DHCP server that allows individual clients (PCs, network equipment) to take turns using a range of private IP addresses (often referred to as local IP addresses), and provides optional secondary setup features for these clients on a per-port basis.
The NAT method allows several DHCP clients on a sub network to connect to WAN clients by allowing the DHCP clients to share a single public IP address. When the HSIM-W6 uses NAT, the NAT method modifies the IP headers and addresses, and the selected fields in upper layer protocol headers.
Chapter 2: About the HSIM-W6 In half-duplex operation, the authenticator device challenges the peer device by generating a CHAP challenge, and the challenge contains an MD5 algorithm with a random number that has your encrypted password and system name. The peer device then applies a one-way hash algorithm to the random number and returns this encrypted information along with the system name in the CHAP response.
The HSIM-W6 supports one ISDN BRI line and either or both of the B channels for transferring data. If the two B channels are used for separate connections, each provides up to 64 Kbps transfer rates.
Time to Connect, Time to Disconnect, Connect Retries, Back-up Override, Input Idle Time-out and Output Idle Time-out, are the six back-up parameters used to manage the ISDN Back-up feature on the HSIM-W6, and are described as follows: Time to Connect —...
Chapter 2: About the HSIM-W6 HDSL High-bit rate Digital Subscriber Line (HDSL) technology uses existing copper twisted pair cables designed for conventional analog voice transmission from a telephone carrier servicing area as a low-cost alternative to the quality and speed of fiber optic cables, and provides high-speed full-duplex digital transmission links of up to 1.544 Mbps.

The HSIM-W6 can operate as a bridge, a router, or both. HSIM-W6 Bridging and Routing — The HSIM-W6 operates as a router for network protocols that are supported when routing is enabled and operates as a bridge when bridging is enabled. When both bridging and routing are enabled, routing takes precedence over bridging (i.e., the HSIM-W6 uses the protocol address...
Bridge filtering allows a network administrator to control the flow of packets Bridge Filtering — across the HSIM-W6. Bridge filtering can be used to “deny” or “allow” packets based on a “matched pattern” using a specified position and hexadecimal content within the packet. This enables restricting or forwarding of messages based on address, protocol, or data content.
The HSIM-W6 provides SNMP agent support for the following: standard and Enterprise Specific Management Information Bases (MIBs), and support for standard and Enterprise Specific SNMP Traps. SNMP is also used internally for configuration of the HSIM-W6. The active SNMP agent within the HSIM-W6 accepts SNMP requests for status, statistics and configuration updates.

CTISDN-REMOTEPROFILE-MIB. SNMP Trap Support SNMP Traps are notifications of network events sent by an SNMP compliant device to an SNMP management station. The following SNMP Traps are supported by the HSIM-W6: • IETF Standard Traps: • Warm Start Trap Type Code #1RFC1214 •...

Arranging ISDN Service The service provider requires certain information about the capabilities of the HSIM-W6. You must give the service provider the required switch settings (parameters) for the provider’s central office switch.
Your telephone company may offer a variety of ISDN switch types. You must contact your service provider and find out which type of ISDN service is available. The following switch types are currently supported by the HSIM-W6 within the U.S.: •...
The S refers to a connection between customer equipment in some ISDN configurations when a PBX is present. The T refers to the connection between the NT1 device and the HSIM-W6.

During configuration, you specify information identifying the HSIM-W6 and define the LAN and WAN connections of the HSIM-W6. All of the remote routers to which this device may connect are added to a database called the remote router database that resides in the HSIM-W6. Each remote router entry in the database defines the connection parameters, security features, route...
Other information is obtained from your ISDN service provider. You must define the name and security password of the HSIM-W6, ISDN line information and the Ethernet LAN IP and/or IPX address. You need to identify all of the remote routers and their routing and bridging capability, ISDN phone numbers, addressing and security information.

HSIM-W6. You may need different addressing information depending on whether you are configuring IP routing and/or NetWare IPX routing. The diagrams show the information required to configure only the HSIM-W6. If you need NOTE to configure both ends of the WAN link, you should label all information for the network.
Page 47
If the HSIM-W6 is to direct traffic to networks or stations beyond TCP/IP Route Addresses — the remote router, the routing table in the HSIM-W6 can be “seeded” with static IP routes. An IP route includes an IP address, subnet mask and metric. The metric is a number representing the perceived cost in reaching the remote network or station.
Page 48
HSIM-W6 For numbered mode, consider the capabilities of the remote router as well as your requirements. Specify a Source WAN IP address if the HSIM-W6 must be on the same subnetwork as the remote router. Figure 7 is an example of a Class B IP network (128.1).

Chapter 4: Planning for HSIM-W6 ISDN Configuration An Ethernet LAN IPX network number is required for the HSIM-W6 NetWare IPX Routing — local Ethernet LAN connection. The ISDN WAN link to each remote router must have an assigned IPX network number. IPX Routes and IPX SAPs for each remote router are also required for the configuration process.
Page 51
If the HSIM-W6 is to direct traffic to network segments and servers beyond the IPX Routes — remote router, the routing table in the HSIM-W6 can be “seeded” with static IPX routes. An IPX route includes a network number, hop count and ticks. The hop count is the number of routers through which traffic must pass to reach the remote network segment or server.
