  • Page 3 Safety and Homologation Statements BABT Statements (European Standards) The CLAM has been approved by BABT for connection to the I-CTR3 standard ISDN service under the Approval Number AA604444 and it is important that the user is familiar with the conditions of use as described in this manual.
  • Page 4 EZ S TART Warning: Changes or modifications to this unit not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment. NOTE: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules.
  • Page 5 LAN and ISDN, as long as temperature and humidity conditions are met. There should be an air gap above and on all sides of the CLAM, to ensure that the maximum temperature limit is not reached.
  • Page 6 1. C HECKLISTS AND 1.1 Y ISDN S ERVICE If you wish to use ISDN to connect your CLAM to other devices, please read this section for further details. 1.1.1 E UROPEAN ERVICES Your ISDN circuit should conform to EURO-ISDN (otherwise known as NET3 or iCTR3) standards.
  • Page 7 All devices should have an established IP Address (usually defined by the network administrator). An IP Address must be assigned to the CLAM itself (usually defined by the network administrator). The Network or sub-network numbers must be the same on the local and remote networks to be bridged.
  • Page 8 For each External Network Number, the Frame Type must be the same at the local and the remote sites. 1.2.4 B ANYAN INES HECKLIST One of the two networks to be bridged must have a Banyan server/router installed. The workstation software should preferably be of the same revision as the server to which it will connect.

  • Page 9: Packaging Checklist

    The CLAM may be fitted either with rubber feet for free-standing use or Velcro feet for attaching the CLAM to a workbench or to the side of a PC. On the underside of the CLAM are four marked circles. If rubber feet are to be fitted, peel off the backing from each foot and press the sticky side of each foot into the middle of a marked circle.
  • Page 10 2.1 D IRECT ERMINAL If the CLAM is to be plugged directly into the back of a PC, terminal, or workstation, it emulates a 10BASE-T HUB. 1) Connect the Twisted Pair LAN cable from the 10BASE-T port on your PC or workstation into the port marked LAN on the CLAM.
  • Page 11 Before opening up the CLAM, always make sure it is disconnected from the POWER SUPPLY. If the CLAM is to connect to a HUB repeater: open the CLAM and move the four jumpers next to the LAN port into the “TCVR” setting.
  • Page 12 OCAL ERMINAL ONNECTION Initial configuration of the CLAM may be done using a VT-100 type async terminal, or a PC with a communications package emulating a VT-100. To set up Windows TERMINAL, use the Settings in the screen shots below:...

    ELNET ONNECTIONS When you first receive your CLAM, it will be unconfigured, with 1.1.1.1 as its default IP address. The Management System can be accessed initially by a Telnet call from your TCP/IP workstation to this address, after setting your workstation to a spare IP address on network 1.0.0.0 (subaddress mask...
  • Page 14 4.2 USA ISDN U I NTERFACE If your CLAM has a Basic Rate ISDN ‘U’ interface, connect the flat ISDN cable from the ISDN wall socket (either an RJ-11 or RJ-45 socket) into the socket marked ISDN BRI on the CLAM. If your CLAM has an ‘S/T’...

    4.3 O PTIONAL NALOGUE If your CLAM has an analogue voice module (optional), the back of the unit will be as shown below. 1) Connect an analogue device (e.g. telephone, modem or fax) to the RJ-11 port marked VOICE. UK models are supplied with a converter from an RJ-11 to a BT Master Socket.
  • Page 16 ONNECTING OWER 5.1 P OWER ONNECTION AND 1) Switch the power supply ON. 2) The LED on top of the CLAM should change colour as follows: (for 2 to 5 seconds) AMBER(2 to 10 seconds) GREEN (CLAM ready). 3) The CLAM is now operational.

  • Page 18 7.1.2 C ONFIGURATION FOR As the CLAM is a very flexible unit that can be used in a wide variety of configurations, the next step of the configuration process depends on your working environment. The following examples do not cover all cases, but your configuration may be very similar to one of the environments below.
  • Page 19 192.0.1.5 Figure 7-1 Typical TCP/IP Environment The CLAM can be set up to recognise IP traffic. Once this is done, the CLAM makes the ISDN calls needed when a user has data to send or receive, and ends the ISDN calls when the links are idle. First, the topology of the IP network must be configured manually into each bridge as follows: Issue 3.0...
  • Page 20 (e.g. upper and lower case). On the remote bridge, add the name OfficeCLAM to the list of ISDN numbers. 2. Use the COnfigure ISDN AUTOcalls form on the CLAM to set up the Autocall table. An Autocall entry defines which packet destination will start an ISDN connection.
  • Page 21 Server1 Figure 7-2 Typical IPX Environment The CLAM can be set up to recognise IPX traffic. Once this is done, the CLAM acts as a Server or Router “Agent” on behalf of the remote sites, broadcasting Server and Router information while the ISDN is down, and making the ISDN calls needed when a user has data to send or receive.
  • Page 22 MainLAN, then ENABLE learning on the CorporateBridge too. 5. Leave this call connected for 5 to 10 minutes. This should be enough time for the CLAM to receive Routing broadcasts from all the active servers on the network. Then type CANCEL CorporateBridge on the OfficeCLAM.
  • Page 23 10. If the MainLAN servers are likely to send unsolicited information, such as mail, to any workstations, use the COnfigure ISDN AUTOcalls screen on the CorporateBridge to set up manual entries for each remote workstation, e.g. Type IPX_WS Do not forget to SAVE each configuration on the OfficeCLAM, and on any other bridges which have been configured.
  • Page 24 Server2 Figure 7-3 Typical VINES Environment The CLAM can be set up to recognise VINES traffic. Once this is done, the CLAM acts as a Server or Router “Agent” on behalf of the remote sites, broadcasting Server and Router information while the ISDN is down, and making the ISDN calls needed when a user has data to send or receive.
  • Page 25 BRidge table: there should be a link called CorporateBridge in a forwarding state. 5. Leave this call connected for 3 or 4 minutes. This should be enough time for the CLAM to receive Routing broadcasts from all the active servers on the network. Then type CANCEL CorporateBridge on the OfficeCLAM.
  • Page 26 EZ S TART Note: about every 15 minutes, the BANYAN operating system may send security update packets to workstations logged on to servers, so workstations must expect to be called by the CorporateBridge every 15 minutes. As these packets must reach the workstations, do not connect too many remote sites using too few ISDN “B”...
  • Page 27 PC. Only keyboard hits and screen displays are transferred between the two PCs. The CLAM can be set up to be pcANYWHERE “aware”. This reduces the number of times an ISDN call is made due to non-essential traffic. First, set up the CLAM as follows: Issue 3.0...
  • Page 28 When configuring pcANYWHERE, leave IPX learning ENABLEd. 8. When fully configured, do not forget to SAVE the configuration on both the CLAM and the OfficeBridge. Note: pcANYWHERE keeps the ISDN call active when displaying a list of available hosts for selection, so do not leave this screen displayed when not using the PC.

  • Page 30 “housekeeping” traffic which causes more ISDN calls than needed. To cure this, the CLAM can be set up as a WINS server on a local subnet, and to act as an IP Gateway for that subnet. Each remote site must be on its own subnet, which can be defined to be quite small.
  • Page 31 5. Use the COnfigure ISDN AUTOcalls screen on the OfficeBridge to add an entry to the Autocall table to call the HomeCLAM when it receives IP packets for the Home subnet. Type ARP/IP 6. Use the COnfigure BRidge PArameters form on the HomeCLAM to ENABLE the MS WINS Server.
  • Page 32 1) Lift the handset on the attached telephone, or start the call by forcing the analogue device (e.g. modem or fax) to go off hook. 2) The LED on the CLAM should flash GREEN to show that an ISDN call is being made.
