    AES-100 User’s Guide Preface Congratulations on your purchase of the AES-100 ADSL-Ethernet Switch. This preface introduces you to the AES-100 and discusses the organization and conventions of this user’s guide. It also provides information on other related documentation. About the AES-100 The AES-100 is an ADSL (Asymmetrical Digital Subscriber Line) to Ethernet switch.

  • Page 13: Chapter 1 Getting To Know The Aes-100

    The integrated splitters eliminate the need to use external splitters to separate voice-band and ADSL signals. 10 Mbps Ethernet Port This 10 Mbps Ethernet port connects the AES-100 to an Ethernet network. With Ethernet as the backbone, you can create a network that provides ADSL service to hundreds of subscribers.

  • Page 15: Benefits

    A tenant connects a computer to the phone line in a unit using an ADSL modem. The other end of the phone line is connected to a port on the AES-100. The AES-100 aggregates the traffic from the tenants to the Ethernet port and forwards it to a router.

  • Page 16: Isp Application

    ISP Application The AES-100 can also be used by an Internet Service Provider (ISP) as an IP DSLAM. The AES-100 terminates all of the ADSL ATM circuits and converts the traffic to IP packets. All IP traffic goes directly to the ISP’s internal Ethernet network, before being routed to the Internet.

    For the initial configuration, you need to use terminal emulator software on a computer and connect it to the AES- 100 through the console port. Connect the male 9-pin end of the console cable to the console port of the AES-100.

  • Page 21: Adsl Port Connections

    ADSL Port Connections The line from the user carries both the ADSL and the voice signals. For each line, the AES-100 has a built-in splitter that separates the high frequency ADSL signal from the voice band signal and feeds the ADSL signal to the AES-100, while the voice band signal is diverted to the CO port.

    AES-100 User’s Guide Connect the female end of the power cord to the power receptacle on the rear panel of your AES-100 (just to the right of the warning sticker) as seen next. Connect the other end of the cord to a power outlet. Make sure that no objects obstruct the airflow of the fans (located on the side of the unit).

  • Page 23: Chapter 3 Software Configuration

    This section describes the general software configuration of the AES-100 through the command line interface. Command Line Interface The AES-100 uses text command lines as the user interface for software configuration. Before discussing the details of configuration, the rules of the commands are listed below. 1. The command keywords are in regular font.

  • Page 24: Command Structure

    AES-100 User’s Guide Command Structure The system uses a two-level command structure. The commands related to one subsystem are grouped under a primary command of that subsystem, e.g., to configure the ADSL parameters, you must first ente r the ADSL subsystem by entering the command.

    The Ethernet subsystem allows you to configure and monitor the 10 Mbps Ethernet port. 10 Mbps Ethernet The AES-100 supports 10 Mbps Ethernet. In a 10 Mbps Ethernet, the duplex mode can be half duplex or full duplex. The Ethernet port uses the pre-configured duplex mode setting when making a connection, thus requiring you to check the setting of the peer Ethernet port in order to connect.

  • Page 37: Chapter 6 Bridge Configuration

    Bridge Port Numbers The bridge subsystem of the AES-100 defines its own numbering convention for ports. The bridge has a total of nine ports; bridge port 1 stands for Ethernet port, bridge port 2 stands for ADSL port 1, bridge port 3 stands for ADSL port 2, and so on.

  • Page 38: Bridge Commands

    Bridge port 9 (ADSL port 8) allowed to bridge port 1 (Ethernet port) only It is recommended that you do not alter these settings, or the AES-100 may not work correctly. The default VLAN settings allow each ADSL port to communicate back and forth with only the Ethernet port, and not with other ADSL ports.

  • Page 47: Chapter 8 Remote Management

    Management by Telnet After you have set up the IP parameters and connected the AES-100 to the network, you can manage it remotely with telnet. You can use any telnet client that you find convenient. The configuration procedures with telnet are exactly the same as those using the direct connection via the console port.

  • Page 48: Supported Mibs

    An SNMP managed network consists of two main component types: agents and a manager. An agent is a management software module that resides in a managed device (the AES-100). An agent translates the local management information from the managed device into a form compatible with SNMP. The manager is the station through which network administrators perform network management functions.

  • Page 53: Configuration Backup/Restore

    AES-100 unusable. Configuration Files of the AES-100 The AES-100 uses configuration files to store the user’s settings, so they can be applied the next time the A ES- 100 is booted. The AES-100 has the following seven important configuration files: The configuration file for ADSL ports.

  • Page 54: Configuration Backup

    AES-100 User’s Guide Configuration Backup You can backup all or some configuration files from the AES-100 to your computer. For example, to backup the configuration of ADSL ports and IP settings, the procedure on your computer is as follows: Connect to the AES-100 with your favorite TFTP client. The command is generally Step 1.

  • Page 57: Chapter 10 Firmware Upload

    The AES-100 has two ways to update firmware; one is done through BOOTP/TFTP and the other uses TFTP. The differences between these two methods are as follows: ♦ Update timing: A BOOTP/TFTP update is done when the AES-100 is restarted, while a TFTP update is done during operation.
