Inverse Multiplexing (IMUX) Cabletron Systems products that support IMUX, such as the CSX400, HSIM-W6 and NOTE HSIM-4T1, must exist on both ends of the WAN link for the IMUX function to work.
Page 25: Hdlc
HDLC Cabletron Systems has provided the High-level Data Link Control (HDLC) protocol which is used in conjunction with the Inverse Multiplexing (IMUX) feature and the WPIM-HDSL to conserve a user’s WAN bandwidth between two Cabletron Systems products, over a point-to-point connection.
Page 26: Point-To-Point Protocol (Ppp)
About the CSX400 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 CSX400 uses NAT, the NAT method modiﬁes the IP headers and addresses, and the selected ﬁelds in upper layer protocol headers.
Page 27: Lqm
About the CSX400 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.
Page 28: Isdn
About the CSX400 ISDN ISDN provides an inexpensive switched digital access to remote sites. The ISDN BRI standard provides for two high speed 64 Kbps bearer (B) channels used for voice or data connections and one 16 Kbps signaling data (D) channel used for call setup, signaling and other information. ISDN allows all types of information to be transmitted including voice, data, fax and video.
Page 29: Isdn Back-Up
About the CSX400 ISDN Back-up The ISDN back-up feature provides a back-up link for a remote site or branch ofﬁce when one or more primary WAN interfaces for a frame relay circuit or a nailed-up PPP connection fails. The WPIM-S/T serves as the backup medium for this primary connection. The WPIM-S/T uses the ISDN interfaces to back-up any primary interfaces which have been conﬁgured for ISDN back-up.
Page 30: Hdsl
About the CSX400 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.
Page 31 About the CSX400 Routing provides a way to transfer user data from source to destination over different Routing — LAN and WAN links using one or more network protocol formats. Routing relies on routing address tables to determine the best path for each packet. Routing tables can be seeded (i.e., addresses for remote destinations are placed in the table along with network address masks and a metric for path latency).
Page 32: Bridging And Routing Protocol Filtering
About the CSX400 Bridging and Routing Protocol Filtering Filtering is used to allow efﬁcient usage of network resources and provide security for your network and hosts.

Page 44: Collect Network Information
Planning for CSX400 ISDN Configuration Collect Network Information Before you begin, you need to obtain information about the network to which you are adding the CSX400. Some of the information is obtained from your central site or remote site network administrator.
Page 45: Isdn Line Information
ISDN Line Information You need to know the telephone switch type and phone numbers associated with the ISDN line. The telephone switch types supported are listed in provider gives you up to three sets of numbers for identifying the ISDN line and attached devices. You may be assigned none, one or two SPIDs or DNs and this varies by service provider and country.
Page 46: Network Information Diagrams
Planning for CSX400 ISDN Configuration Network Information Diagrams It is helpful to draw a diagram including all locations, addresses, router names, etc. This section includes diagrams needed to conﬁgure the CSX400. 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 CSX400.
Page 47 Planning for CSX400 ISDN Configuration If the CSX400 is to direct trafﬁc to networks or stations beyond the TCP/IP Route Addresses — remote router, the routing table in the CSX400 can be “seeded” with static IP routes. An IP route includes an IP address, subnet mask and metric.
Page 48 Planning for CSX400 ISDN Configuration If the remote router supports unnumbered mode, neither address needs to be speciﬁed. provides a simple example of an unnumbered mode conﬁguration. CSX400 For numbered mode, consider the capabilities of the remote router as well as your requirements. Specify a Source WAN IP address if the CSX400 must be on the same subnetwork as the remote router.
Page 49 Specify a Remote WAN IP Address if the remote router does not support IP address negotiation under PPP (i.e., does not have a pre-assigned IP address as shown in 128.1.129.1 255.255.255.0 CSX400 *SOURCE IP ADDRESS *SPECIFY SOURCE IP ADDRESS IF IT MUST BE ON SAME SUBNETWORK AS THE REMOTE ROUTER. **SPECIFY REMOTE IP ADDRESS IF REMOTE ROUTER DOES NOT HAVE A PRE-ASSIGNED IP ADDRESS.
Page 50 Planning for CSX400 ISDN Configuration An Ethernet LAN IPX network number is required for the CSX400 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 Planning for CSX400 ISDN Configuration If the CSX400 is to direct trafﬁc to network segments and servers beyond the IPX Routes — remote router, the routing table in the CSX400 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.
Page 52: Network Information Tables
Planning for CSX400 ISDN Configuration Servers can have internal and external node numbers. The internal node Node Numbers — number is a logical number assigned by the system administrator to the server. The external node number is the MAC address of the server. When adding SAP services to the SAP table, internal node numbers are used.
