QUICK START 2 (BNC) LAN C SING A If you plan on connecting your PC to an CyberSWITCH using the 10Base2 LAN port, this is the type of connection you will use. Note that the 10Base2 LAN port is an optional CyberSWITCH feature. Use the following graphic and instructions to complete the connection. -
Page 13: Using An Amp Connection
AMP C SING AN ONNECTION If you want to use out-of-band management, want a replacement for a LAN connection, or want local console access, you need an asynchronous management port (AMP) connection. ANAGEMENT Out-of-band management allows you to manage the CyberSWITCH from some remote location without making use of the LAN or WAN connections. -
Page 14: Using An Amp Connection For Lan Replacement Or Local Console Access
QUICK START AMP C SING AN ONNECTION FOR Regardless of why you want to use an AMP connection, the cabling is the same. Use the supplied cable. To complete the cabling, refer to the following graphic and instructions. Connect one end of a Null Modem to your PC serial port. Connect the other end of the Null Modem to the CyberSWITCH’s serial port labeled Console. -
Page 15: The Isdn Connection
ISDN C ONNECTION No matter which LAN connection method you use, you must have an ISDN connection. This connection is your link to the outside world through ISDN lines. There is more than one ISDN connection method possible. The method you use depends on the country you live in, and whether or not you have an CyberSWITCH with the internal NT-1 option. -
Page 16: Cyberswitchs Without Internal Nt-1S
QUICK START SWITCH YBER S WITHOUT NTERNAL If you require an NT-1 and you purchase an CyberSWITCH without an internal NT-1, you will need to use an external NT-1 in your connection to the network. Issuing the ver command will tell you whether or not your CyberSWITCH has an internal NT-1. -
Page 17: Cyberswitchs Requiring Dsus
SWITCH YBER EQUIRING For countries that require DSUs (for example, Japan), your CyberSWITCH will not have an internal NT-1. You will need to use an external MJ and DSU in your connection to the network. To ISDN Source RJ-45 Connector ONNECTION NSTRUCTIONS If you are not using an CyberSWITCH with an internal NT-1:... -
Page 18: The Pots Connection
QUICK START POTS C ONNECTION The dual-line, Plain Old Telephone Service (POTS) feature allows one or both of the ISDN B- channels to alternatively be used with traditional phone equipment (for example, a phone, a fax, or an answering machine). When used with a LAN or AMP connection, this allows you to use one ISDN line for both data and voice. -
Page 19: The Power Connection
OWER ONNECTION Note: Before you plug in the CyberSWITCH, consider the following: • make sure the CyberSWITCH is well ventilated • insert the power cord into the wall last, after you attach the power supply and power cord to the CyberSWITCH. Connection instructions: As shown above, insert the power supply into outlet labeled DC Power on the back of the CyberSWITCH. -
Page 20: Basics
ASICS Once your cabling is complete, power on the CyberSWITCH simply by plugging its power cord into an electrical outlet. During the powering on sequence, the CyberSWITCH’s LED indicators provide valuable information. We provide you with instructions for “reading” the LED indicators. After powering on, but before putting the CyberSWITCH into normal operation, we recommend that you read the Release Notes for important information. -

Insert the CD into the drive, change to the proper directory, and enter the following command at the DOS prompt: [CD-ROM drive]:\[platform directory][ISDN standard directory][option directory]> type REL_NOTE.TXT | more For example, if your CD-ROM is designated as drive D, you are installing is CSX150, using US ISDN standards and the IP/IPX option, you would use the following path: D:\CSX150\US\IPX>... -
Page 22: Changing The Baud Rate
QUICK START Use the following default values for your communication package: Baud rate Parity Data bits Stop bits Duplex HANGING THE The baud rate is changeable. The default rate performs well for configuration changes. A faster rate is useful, however, to download new software upgrades to your system. To change the baud rate through CFGEDIT: Select Physical Resources from the main menu. -
Page 23: Amp Connection
Note: Do NOT place more than one CyberSWITCH on a LAN with the default setting. With both having the same IP address, unpredictable results will occur. You may also Telnet in via the WAN connection, however, how to set it up with the default configuration will not be described in detail in this guide. -
Page 24: Upgrading Software
QUICK START For a more complex configuration, CFGEDIT is the comprehensive utility you may wish use to initially set up your system; you may use it later to make configuration changes as well. However, CFGEDIT is NOT dynamic. This means you will have to interrupt normal system operations in order to update configuration files. -
Page 25: Local Software Upgrade
The CSX150 CD contains installation, user documentation and upgrade files. The file structure is as follows: Directory <ROOT>\ \CSXDOCS\ \CSX156\JAPAN\ipipx \CSX156\JAPAN\ipipx.fr \CSX156\JAPAN\ipipx.x25 \CSX156\JAPAN\ipipxat \CSX156\JAPAN\ipipxat.fr \CSX156\JAPAN\ipipxat.pkt \CSX156\JAPAN\ipipx.pkt \CSX156\JAPAN\ipipxat.x25 For system upgrade, you will need to follow one of the above-mentioned upgrade paths (\product name\country\protocol or access package). -

Page 28: Remote Upgrade Of The Operational Software (Osw)
QUICK START Using the TFTP client on the remote workstation, TFTP the recover1 file to the CyberSWITCH in binary mode. Be sure to use the file’s full pathname. The exact method to transfer varies, depending upon your TFTP client. At the system prompt, recover the SSB by issuing the following command: flash recover The system will ask you if you are sure you want to remotely recover the SSB, and warn you of the potential risk in case of a power failure while the SSB is being recovered. -
Page 29: Change Defaults To Secure System
• Using the MANAGE MODE command fileattr , verify that: • ADMIN has READ/WRITE access to CONFIG files • ADMIN has READ/WRITE access to OTHER files • Exit MANAGE MODE by typing exit <RET>. Using the TFTP client on the remote workstation, TFTP the UPGRADE.OSW file to the CyberSWITCH in binary mode. -
Page 30: Return Configuration To Factory Defaults
QUICK START Disable TFTP Server. Disable through Dynamic Management’s manage mode. This will secure important device information. Device information must be secure to prevent unauthorized access to the CyberSWITCH. To disable this access, enter the following command at the manage mode prompt: tftp change Then follow the on-screen instructions to disable the TFTP feature. -

- Page 41 PECIAL EATURES POTS O ONFIGURING THE The dual-line, Plain Old Telephone Service (POTS) feature allows one or both of the ISDN B- channels to alternatively be used with traditional phone equipment, including faxes and answering machines. The CyberSWITCH can use both B-channels for data until a call is initiated or received. When a call comes up, the CyberSWITCH may then drop back to a single B-channel for data, and reserve the other B-channel for POTS use (such as voice or fax).
- Page 42 USER’S GUIDE POTS L ONFIGURING NFORMATION To use the POTS feature, you must configure a POTS line. POTS line information includes: the POTS line jack Id, the primary phone number (optional), and customization information (also optional). The section below describes configuring the POTS line information. Select Physical Resources from the main CFGEDIT menu.
