    CyROS is constantly evolving, and the menus in this manual might be slightly different from the menus in the router. The latest version of all three manuals (and the latest version of CyROS) can be downloaded from Cyclades’ web site. All manuals indicate on the second page the manual version and the corresponding version of CyROS.

  • Page 10: The X.21 Model

    Cyclades recommends the use of Category 5, shielded twisted-pair cables for Fast Ethernet connections. The Cyclades-PR1000 comes with rubber pads to prevent it from slipping on a horizontal surface. It may be necessary to affix the router more securely to either a horizontal or vertical surface. To this end, Velcro® strips and screws have been provided.

  • Page 11: Horizontal Surfaces

    Cyclades-PR1000 Horizontal Surfaces The Velcro® strips should be used to attach the PR1000 more firmly to a horizontal surface. Remove the backing from the prickly Velcros® and attach them to the router as shown in the figure. Remove the backing from the fuzzy Velcros®...

  • Page 20: Chapter 4 Step-By-Step Instructions For Common Applications

    Cyclades-PR1000 CHAPTER 4 STEP-BY-STEP INSTRUCTIONS FOR COMMON APPLICATIONS This chapter provides detailed examples that can be used as models for similar applications. Turn to the example that is closest to your application, read the explanations, and fill in the blank spaces with parameters appropriate to your system.
  • Page 21 Cyclades-PR1000 Please read the entire example and follow the instructions before turning the router on. The router is programmed to log the super user off after 10 minutes of inactivity. All data not explicitly saved to memory is then lost. Collecting the data while configuring the router will likely cause delays and frustration.

  • Page 24 Cyclades-PR1000 STEP FOUR The Encapsulation parameters for PPP are less straight-forward. Many of them are based on decisions that cannot be shown in a diagram. Fortunately, the choices made here will mostly affect the performance of the link, rather than whether it works or not. Fill in the parameters appropriate for your system, consulting chapter 8 of the Installation Manual for more information if necessary.

Menu CONFIG=>SYSTEM=>MODEMS=>DIAL OUT TABLE=>ADD Parameter Example Your Application IP Address Type in any valid IP address not on the local network.
  • Page 26 Cyclades-PR1000 STEP SIX Two static routes must be added to tell the router that all traffic not intended for the local LAN should be sent to the Access Provider. Chapter 9 of the Installation Manual explains static routes and other routing methods available in CyROS.

    Cyclades-PR1000 Example 2 A LAN-to-LAN Example Using Frame Relay This section will guide you through a complete router installation for the connection of two LANs via Frame Relay. Figure 4.11 shows the example system used in this section. Spaces have been provided next to the parameters needed for the configuration where you can fill in the parameters for your system.
  • Page 30 Cyclades-PR1000 STEP ONE The first step is to determine the parameters needed to configure the Ethernet interface (ETH0). The parameters in the Network Protocol Menu (IP) are shown in Figure 4.12. Fill in the blanks for your application in the right-most column.
  • Page 31 Cyclades-PR1000 STEP TWO No more parameters are necessary for the Ethernet interface. The other interface to be configured is the SWAN in slot 1. The SWAN physical media parameters are shown in Figure 4.13. Fill in the values for your application.

Enable Predictor Yes, if Cyclades routers are used on both Compression ends of the link and Predictor Compression is enabled on both routers. This feature is effective only for links running at speeds under 2 Mbps.
  • Page 35 Cyclades-PR1000 STEP FIVE Now that the central office’s LAN has been defined, a route must be added to tell the router that the remote site’s LAN is at the other end of the line. Creating a static route is the simplest way to do this. Chapter 9 of the Installation Manual explains static routes and other routing methods available in CyROS.
  • Page 36 Cyclades-PR1000 STEP SEVEN The Ethernet interface can be tested as described in the troubleshooting appendix. The SWAN interface can be tested in a similar manner. At this point, you should create a backup of the configuration file (in binary) and print out a listing of the configuration.

    Cyclades-PR1000 APPENDIX A TROUBLESHOOTING What to Do if the Login Screen Does Not Appear When Using a Console. 1 Check the configuration of the terminal. The correct values are given in chapter 2. Is the PC’s COM port enabled? Is the Console cable being used? See Chapter 2 for instructions on which cables go where.

  • Page 38: What To Do If The Router Does Not Work Or Stops Working

    Cyclades-PR1000 What to Do if the Router Does Not Work or Stops Working. 1 Check that the cables are connected correctly and firmly (see chapter 2, What is in the Box, for correct cable connection information). 2 Confirm that the Link LED is lit, indicating proper Ethernet cable termination. If it is not lit, check both ends of the Ethernet cable and the hub connection.

  • Page 39: Testing The Ethernet Interface

    Cyclades-PR1000 Testing the Ethernet Interface After configuring the Ethernet interface, return to the main menu using the <ESC> key as many times as is necessary. Save the configuration to flash memory (the operating system will ask how to save the configuration on the way back to the main menu).
