Each of the T1 interfaces has a data capacity of 1.544 Mbps, while the Ethernet interface can operate at either 10 Mbps or 100 Mbps. This section of the manual contains information specific to the Octal T1-10/100 RIOP. It is divided into the following sections:...
Chapter 1 - Network Installation Octal T1-10/100 RIOP Front Panel This section of the manual will help you install the Octal T1-10/100 RIOP to connect a local Ethernet and up to eight remote corporate networks. These connections can be made to other Compatible Systems devices or internetworking equipment from other vendors.
The default settings for the Console interface are VT100 terminal emulation, 9600 bps, 8 bits, no parity, 1 stop bit and no Flow Control. v Note: The Octal T1-10/100 RIOP also has an AUX interface. This is a modem connection which should only be used in consultation with Compatible Systems Technical Support staff, who will provide instruction on its use.
This Quickstart chapter briefly discusses the major parameters that must be set in order to use the Octal T1-10/100 RIOP as part of your VSR multigigabit switching router. Detailed information on the meaning of the router’s parameters is provided in the Compa- tiView Management Software Reference Guide and the Text-Based Configuration and Command Line Management Reference Guide.
Chapter 2 - Quickstart Instructions • IP static routes CV: Use the TCP/IP Routing: Ethernet 0 Dialog Box to set RIP, and the IP Static Routing Dialog Box (under Global/IP Static Routes) to set static routes. OSPF can only be configured using text-based configuration.
Chapter 2 - Quickstart Instructions WAN Interface Configuration The default setting for all WAN interfaces on your Octal T1-10/100 RIOP is Off for all proto- cols and for the link configuration. In order to use a WAN interface, you may first need to set some physical parameters and then set up the link and protocol parameters.
Note: Due to the complexity of BGP, configuration parameters for BGP are not given in this Quickstart. For help with BGP configuration parameters, and other configuration questions, refer to the Tech Support pages on the Compatible Systems Web site at: http://www.compatible.com/.
Dedicated line operation generally does not require additional parameters for operation. Frame Relay DLCI Mappings If you are connecting to another Compatible Systems router, this information is not required for Frame Relay operation. Compatible Systems uses IARP (Inverse Address Resolution Protocol) to dynamically generate this information.
Note: Due to the complexity of BGP, configuration parameters for BGP are not given in this Quickstart. For help with BGP configuration parameters, and other configuration questions, refer to the Tech Support pages on the Compatible Systems Web site at: http://www.compatible.com/.
Frame Relay operation. The only parameters which should be set differently for SMDS are the Link Configuration and the SMDS addressing section. WAN Link Configuration SMDS is presently supported in the Octal T1-10/100 RIOP only via synchronous dedicated line operation. •...
In addition to indicating certain router-wide operating conditions, they may also display port- specific information. v Note : Any continuous flashing pattern not noted in this chapter may be caused by a hard- ware failure. Please call Compatible Systems Technical Support if your router shows a hard- ware failure.
