Page 21: Chapter 1 Product Overview
The SmartSwitch 1800 shares much functionality and compatibility with Cabletron’s FRX4000, FRX6000, and the Frame Relay Module (FRM) for the SmartSwitch 9000. A SmartSwitch 1800 with a video interfaces features an intuitive, menu-based man- agement structure that allows complete local and remote control of other SmartSwitch 1800s, as well as other Cabletron frame relay access devices.

Page 23: Hardware Overview
Hardware Overview Models The SmartSwitch 1800 is available in several models, some of which support Voice and data transmission, and some of which are data-only. Table 1-1 lists the models that support Voice. At the time this User Guide went to press, model numbers had not been created for the data-only models.
Page 24: User Interfaces
User Interfaces A SmartSwitch 1800 contains four serial ports in the Voice/Data models and up to eight in the data-only models. Each serial port supports any of the protocols that are installed (see Voice ports (and can be transported over any serial port configured for frame relay).
Page 25: Chapter 2 Getting Started
Much of the configuration can be performed from an existing central-site FRX6000 via remote control of the SmartSwitch 1800. At a minimum, however, someone must configure a remote control ID and a physical port on each new SmartSwitch 1800, to allow the central-site FRX6000 to gain access to the SmartSwitch 1800.

(This does not apply to a Voice, DSU, or LAN port.) The protocols that can be assigned to ports depend on the model of SmartSwitch 1800 and the options that were purchased. All possible protocols are listed below: Note that the LAN protocols (IP, IPX, Bridge, LLC2) are also assigned to physical frame relay ports via interface records that map the protocols to the physical ports.

Page 69: Chapter 7 Configuring Frame Relay
Introduction Frame relay ports in the SmartSwitch 1800 are used to carry frame relay traffic, as well as other protocols encapsulated in frame relay (per RFC 1490, via logical X.25 ports over frame relay). A frame relay port can act as physical DCE, connecting to end-user devices, or DTE, connecting to a network or frame relay PVC.
Page 70: Frame Relay Backup
Frame Relay Backup Frame relay virtual-circuit backup in the SmartSwitch 1800 provides frame relay DLCIs with automatic backup protection in the event of LMI loss or port failure. (A DLCI is considered down/inactive if level 1 is down. If LMI is used, the DLCI is also considered inactive if not reported as active in a Full Status Message from the DCE.)

Introduction SNA support in the SmartSwitch 1800 includes SDLC for serial lines and LLC2 for LAN connections. SNA ports are used to connect IBM hosts with PUs (physical units), over a frame relay (via RFC1490) or X.25 (via Annex G) network. SDLC-to- LLC2 and LLC2-to-SDLC conversion are performed for transmission over frame relay.
Page 128 (XPAD), which supports HDLC and any of its subset protocols, such as SDLC (IBM), LAPB (ISO), and BSC (bisync). LLC2 (Logical Link Control type 2) support in the SmartSwitch 1800 provides a local or remote connection over frame relay (via RFC1490) or X.25 (via QLLC) between two SNA devices, one attached to a LAN and the other attached to either another LAN or a frame relay-compliant SNA/APPN device.
Page 129: Required Configuration
Required Configuration To run SNA in a SmartSwich 1800, make sure the following are properly configured: Node parameters no matter which protocols will be run in the node. Loaded protocols relay or X.25; and LLC2 if connecting to LLC2 devices or if if the transport pro- tocol will be frame relay.

The SmartSwitch also supports translational bridging between Ethernet and Token Ring LANs. (For more information on bridging, refer to IEEE standard 802.1d.)

Voice Configuration Reference Information Voice Port Operation Users of equipment attached to a SmartSwitch 1800 Voice port can dial a long form number, or use any of the numbers defined in the SmartSwitch’s speed dial map table. Once the speed dial table has been configured, you should make the table available to the voice and fax users.

Page 401: Telephony Interface
OPX (Off Premise Exchange) is a two-wire telephone communication mode. In this mode, the SmartSwitch 1800 presents a telco/PTT interface similar to a Central Office interface. When configured in this mode, a SmartSwitch 1800 can interface to a con- ventional two-wire telephone (pulse-dial or touch-tone). A SmartSwitch 1800 in OPX mode can also be connected to a two-wire CO trunk of a PBX or KSU.

(extensions) of a PBX. The SLT option provides the appearance of a two-wire telephone in a loop-start circuit. An SLT-configured voice port on a SmartSwitch 1800 detects ring voltage and closes the loop during off-hook and opens the loop in an on-hook condition.

Follow this step-by-step check list when connecting the SmartSwitch 1800 in an E&M application: 1. Determine the required E&M signaling convention used by the PBX tie line port: Type I, II, III, IV, or V. 2. Set Switch 2 on the front of the SmartSwitch (see Figure 13-6 on page 13-11) for the proper signaling type.
Page 404: Ptt/Telco Connectors And Cabling
PTT/Telco Connectors and Cabling The RJ45 connector on a SmartSwitch 1800 is mainly used for E&M operation. An RJ45 cable is included with each SmartSwitch 1800. The cable end with the connector plugs into the SmartSwitch, and the end with bare wire connects to a telco/PTT type punch block.

PBX's TR and TT pair, respectively. The RT and RR pair carry voice or fax analog signals from the SmartSwitch 1800 to the PBX. The TR and TT pair carry voice or fax analog signals from the PBX E&M tie trunk to the SmartSwitch 1800.

Mouth), and accepts one signal, known as the "E" signal (for Ear). Conversely, the tie line equipment (e.g., the SmartSwitch 1800) accepts the "M" signal from the PBX and provides the "E" signal to the PBX. The "M" signal accepted by the tie line equipment at one end of a tie circuit becomes the "E"...

The illustrations in this figure are abstracted from the specifications to show the essential components of the signaling circuitry. In this figure, the symbol V refers to battery voltage, which can be -25 Vdc to -65 Vdc, and is usually (nominally) -48 Vdc. Each of the illustrations in the figure show the PBX's E&M interface on the left, and the corresponding tie line equipment interface on the right.
Page 408: E&M Grounding Considerations
To avoid grounding problems, certain conditions must be con- sidered. First, check the distance between the PBX and the SmartSwitch 1800. If the two are not within close proximity, then their AC grounds may not be the same. If the Smart- Switch and the PBX are in the same room, however, it is likely that they share the same AC ground.
Page 409: Interface Conversions
Idle Condition: The "E" lead is biased by the PBX at -48 Vdc. The "M" lead is biased at 0 Vdc by the attached device (SmartSwitch 1800). PBX-Initiated Call: The PBX supplies -48 Vdc to the "M" lead, signaling to the attached device that it wants a connection.
Page 410 Idle Condition: The "E" lead is biased by the PBX at -48 Vdc. The "M" lead is biased at -48 Vdc by the attached device (SmartSwitch 1800). PBX Initiated Call: The PBX grounds the "M" lead, signaling to the attached device that it wants a connection.

SDLC devices, and allows diagnosing problems and changing parameters in the node. The service point in the SmartSwitch 1800 connects to the NetView host via an LLC2 session (over LAN or frame relay), which is established at node IPL. LLC2 must be installed in either the service point node or another SmartSwitch 1800 that is con- nected to the service point node via X.25 (physical link or over frame relay per Annex...
Page 414: Local Netview Access
Local NetView Access The SmartSwitch 1800 supports a local NetView access function that allows the node operator to send commands from the node to lines and PUs. This function is only between the node and lines/PUs—the commands and responses are not transmitted to NetView.
Page 415: Supported Commands
NetView Management from NetView is generally as follows: RUNCMD is the VTAM PU name of the SmartSwitch 1800 (NetView sees the SmartSwitch 1800 as a PU), is the ID of the NetView operator issuing the command, and is the text of command sent to the SmartSwitch 1800.
