CHAPTER 1 OVERVIEW This chapter describes steps for operation of the WPIM-RT1. It also briefly explains WPIM-RT1 features, ISDN, and indicates where to find the WAN protocols supported by the WPIM-RT1. Some of the steps for successful operation of this device are: • Install the WPIM-RT1 in a Wide Area Network host platform. Refer to Chapter 2 for direction on installation procedures. Refer to the appropriate host platform manual (i.e.
Chapter 1: Overview 1.1 WPIM-RT1 FEATURES The WPIM-RT1 extends the functionality of the Wide Area Network host platform to provide a full or fractional T1 interface for the CSX400, HSIM-W6, or the HSIM-SSA710. The WPIM-RT1 provides a T1 interface that includes a built-in Channel Service Unit/Digital Service Unit (CSU/DSU) for direct connection to a T1 line. 1.2 WAN PROTOCOLS The WAN protocols that are supported are determined by the host platform in which the WPIM-RT1 is installed.
CHAPTER 2 SETUP AND INSTALLATION Only qualified personnel should install the WPIM-RT1. This User’s Guide is intended for the experienced network equipment installer. The following information in this chapter details the set up and installation of the WPIM-RT1 into a host platform. NOTE 2.1 QuickSET or Local Management must be used to set up the WPIM-RT1 in management before any connections are made to the WAN.
Chapter 2: Setup and Installation 2.1.1 Unpacking the WPIM-RT1 Both the WPIM and the host platform in which the WPIM is installed are static sensitive devices. Use an antistatic strap and follow all static safe precautions during installation. Failure to do so could result in damage to the WPIM and the host platform receiving it. 1. Carefully remove the WPIM-RT1 from the shipping box. 2. Visually inspect the WPIM-RT1. If there are any signs of damage, contact Cabletron Systems immediately.
Installing the WPIM-RT1 4. Press down firmly on the WPIM-RT1 until the pins slide all the way into the connector. Ensure that the WPIM-RT1 seats flush on the standoffs. 5. Secure the WPIM-RT1 to the three standoffs with the WPIM screws. WPIM Screws WPIM Connector WPIM WP IM -R T1 WPIM Connector Pins Standoffs Figure 2-2 2.1.4 Installing the WPIM-RT1 Post-Installation 1. Reinstall the cover if applicable. 2.
Chapter 2: Setup and Installation 2.2 HOST PLATFORM LEDs The host platform displays LED indications of the WPIM-RT1’s operation. For more information on LED indications, refer to the host platform manual. 2.3 REQUIRED MANAGEMENT OPERATIONS Before the WAN cable can be connected to the WPIM-RT1, you must use QuickSET software or Local Management to configure the WPIM-RT1.
Connecting the WAN cable to the WPIM-RT1 The RJ45 cable from the WPIM-RT1 must be plugged into the WAN connection wall jack (see Figure 2-3, below). The cable is not supplied with the WPIM-RT1, but may be ordered separately from Cabletron Systems, cable part number 9372094. Refer to Appendix A for details.

Chapter 3: Local Management 3.1.2 WPIM Line Configuration Fields The configuration fields displayed on the WAN Physical Configuration screen shown in Figure 3-1 are specific to the T1 mode of the WPIM-RT1. NOTE The service provider (i.e., AT&T, Sprint, MCI, Bell Atlantic, etc.) determines the settings for the following fields. Consult the service provider for the correct settings. T1 Timeslot View (Toggle) Displays the status of the Timeslot Configuration Table.
The WAN Physical Configuration Screen • 267-399 Ft • 400-533 Ft • 534-655 Ft T1 Loopback (Selectable) Network Loopback is a testing procedure that segments the line and allows the user to isolate faults. The selections for this field are None, Line-Loop, and Payload-Loop. In Line-Loop the entire T-1 line is looped back, including the framing bits, CRC, and the facility data link. This happens before the framer.
Chapter 3: Local Management Figure 3-3 shows a sample configuration for three sites. Of the 24 Timeslots, Site #1 uses 16 to communicate with Site #2 and the remaining 8 to communicate with Site #3. This configuration varies tremendously depending on how the service provider maps out the T1 Timeslots. The service provider indicates which Timeslots are active.

Full T1 Configuration Using PPP 7. Use the arrow keys to highlight T1 TX Clock Source. Press the SPACE bar to select Local (no clock source provided by telephone company) or Loop (clock source provided by telephone company), then press ENTER. ! If you are using a Local clock source, set only one end of the circuit for Local, and the other end must be set for Loop. CAUTION 8. Use the arrow keys to highlight T1 Line Buildout (LBO).
Chapter 3: Local Management 4. Use the arrow keys to highlight the SAVE command, then press ENTER. The message “SAVE DONE!” displays and Local Management saves the changes to memory. The WAN configuration is complete. It takes up to 60 seconds for the WAN Interface to come out of standby and for communications to begin. 3.4 FRACTIONAL T1 CONFIGURATION USING PPP This section provides step-by-step instructions for configuring the WPIM-RT1 to use a fractional T1 circuit in a PPP environment.
Fractional T1 Configuration Using PPP The line configuration information shown in Table 3-2 must be supplied by the service provider. Table 3-2 Telco Configuration Information Configuration Information Required by User Information Supplied by Service Provider Line Coding B8ZS or AMI Frame Type ESF or D4 Clock Source Loop Timing or Local Timing DS-0s (Timeslots) Timeslots being used for each end of the circuit 3.4.
Chapter 3: Local Management NOTE The value assigned to the timeslots is the interface being used for WAN communication. The next available interface is displayed on the WAN Physical Configuration screen in the Next IF field (see Figure 3-1). The Next IF number shown must be used to add a new interface. The Next IF will increment as interfaces are added. The previously entered interfaces can be modified by entering the interface number.
Frame Relay Configuration 3.4.2 T1 Interface Configuration The WAN Interface Configuration screen is accessed through the WAN Physical Configuration screen. Access the WAN Interface Configuration screen by using the arrow keys to highlight the WAN INT CONFIG command and press ENTER.

Frame Relay Configuration 3. Insert the interface number (refer to NOTE below) into the timeslot being used. Type the number, press ENTER, then exit this field by using the arrow keys. The cursor automatically moves to the T1 Line Coding field. NOTE The value assigned to the timeslots is the interface being used for WAN communication. Only one interface can be assigned to the timeslot when running Frame Relay. The next four steps are based on information supplied by the service provider.
Chapter 3: Local Management 3.5.2 Frame Relay Interface Configuration Access the WAN Interface Configuration screen through the WAN Physical Configuration screen, by using the arrow keys to highlight the WAN INT CONFIG command, then press ENTER. Proceed with the following steps to configure the WAN Interface. 1.
Frame Relay Configuration The WAN configuration is complete. Communications between the WPIM-RT1 and the service provider’s switch takes approximately one or two minutes to complete. A status of Inactive displays on a DLCI per DLCI basis by default until both ends of the DLCI are configured correctly. Once both end devices have negotiated link management with the switches, and are configured correctly on a DLCI per DLCI basis, the status field displays Active.
