Section 364-180-202 1 General 1.1 Document Purpose This document provides general, installation and testing information for the Ethernet Router (RTR) cards shown in Figure1 and Figure2. This document covers models 3641-80 and 3648-80. 1.2 Document Status This document reissued to add information regarding the 3648-80 8-port router. 1.3 Equipment Function The routers are part of the 360-80 Intelligent Channel Bank (ICB).
PAGE 3
Section 364-180-202 The router functionality can be grouped into 6 different management blocks. Provisioning each of these blocks creates a wide range of possible applications for the router. Refer to figure 3. • • • • • • General management of the router. General LAN functions. Bridging or routing between the LAN and the WAN. Creation of virtual private networks (VPNs) between the LAN and remote sites over the WAN. This feature is typically used for secure transfer of information over the Internet.
PAGE 4
Section 364-180-202 IP Bridging and Routing • • • • • • IP Bridge or Router connectivity over the T1/E1 Static Routing Classless Inter-Domain Routing (CIDR) Routing Information Protocol (RIP) V1 and V2 Bridging Control Protocol (BCP) Internet Group Management Protocol (IGMP) for Web broadcasts Virtual Private Network Security • • • • • • Link Control Protocol (LCP) Layer 2 Tunneling Protocol (L2TP) Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol (PPTP) Generic Routing Encapsulation (GRE) when using L2TP, PPTP or IPSec

Section 364-180-202 1.9 Indicators/Switches The router has 2 indicators per port on the front of the unit. 100 Base-T LED indicates when the Ethernet connection has detected that it is connected to a network device that supports 100 Base-T. When the indicator is OFF, the Ethernet connection is running at 10 Base-T. Link/Act LED indicates Ethernet activity detected on the Local Area Network (LAN) Ethernet port. The router has one switch on the front of the unit.

Section 364-180-202 3 APPLICATION GUIDELINES Provisioning each of the feature sets creates a wide range of possible applications for the router. This section will show the most common use of these features but not the only combinations that could be used. A form is included to assist in determining the provisioning of the system. See optioning section for form. 3.1 LAN General Features The router card provides support for IP through TCP, UDP, ICMP, BOOTP and ARP.

Section 364-180-202 check data on the LAN and determine if it is to be routed to the remote LAN. This requires the configuring of routing information protocol (RIP) tables unless static routing tables are used. The LAN general feature set can be provisioned as desired. An IP address is required for both the LAN side interface and the WAN side interface. The WAN interface is normally configured for PPPoH with no authentication since the network is private.
PAGE 8
Section 364-180-202 3.6 Drop and Insert Area Network Extension For applications that require connection of multiple LANs, utilization of the 360-80 and its Drop and Insert capability can be used to connect the networks and allow traffic between them. See Figure 6 for an example of this equipment configuration. This configuration is similar to the private point-to-point application. In this application two routers are required at each ‘drop and insert’ location.

Section 364-180-202 4 INSTALLATION 4.1 Attaching the Rear Panel The rear panel of the unit should be installed before the unit is installed in the shelf and before wiring begins. LAN HUB PC Figure 7. 3641-80 1-Port Ethernet Router Rear Panel LAN 8 LAN 1 Figure 8. 3648-80 8-Port Ethernet Router Rear Panel 4.2 Installing the Unit The router card installs in a full size slot of the 360-80. 4.2.1 Step 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 4.2.
PAGE 10
Section 364-180-202 5. Follow the procedure for installing a new unit. 4.3 4.3.1 Connector Definitions Ethernet Interface Wiring Table 1 shows the standard interface pinouts for the RJ45 rear panel connector on the 3641-80 and pin designations for the Ethernet interface. This interface is used to connect to the local Ethernet LAN. The 3648-80 has auto crossover detection and will automatically switch the pinouts based on the detection of signal on the connector. TABLE 1.
PAGE 11
Section 364-180-202 4.5 Rear Panel Switch Definition HUB PC (3641-80 only) – This switch is used to switch the pinouts of the LAN (rear panel) interface. If ‘straight’ 10/100 Base-T cabling is used, setting the switch to ‘HUB’ allows direct connection of the LAN interface to a hub. Setting the switch to ‘PC” allows direct connection of the LAN interface to a PC. 5 OPTIONING 5.

5.2.7 5.2.8 Section 364-180-202 Make sure there is a carriage return entered after the “system config save” command and the message “wait for ‘configuration saved’ message...” is displayed. This takes about 15 seconds. Restart the router by pushing the front panel RESET button or enter “system restart” at the Æ prompt to activate the new configuration. It can take up to 6 minutes for the router link to be established and traffic to start to be exchanged.
PAGE 13
Section 364-180-202 5.3 Router Configuration Worksheet To assist in keeping track of the configuration of the router, a worksheet has been provided.
PAGE 14
Section 364-180-202 6 Router Network Management The router can be managed over a variety of interfaces using many protocols. The router has a management port (RTR MGMT) on the front of the unit. This interface provides a command line interface (CLI) that can be used to provision and monitor the status of the local router. This interface must be used to provision the router for communication over the LAN and WAN interfaces.
PAGE 15
7.2.2 Section 364-180-202 User Datagram Protocol (UDP) - UDP is a message protocol (different from TCP) that does not provide sequencing of packets. Therefore the application program must be able to make sure that the entire message has arrived and in the right order. It does provide port numbers to distinguish different user requests and optionally a checksum to verify data arrived intact. 7.2.
PAGE 16
Section 364-180-202 7.4 Virtual Private Network Security 7.4.1 Link Control Protocol (LCP) is used in point-to-point protocols to establish, configure and test the data link Internet connection. 7.4.2 Layer 2 Tunneling Protocol (L2TP) is an extension of PPTP and provides a means of encapsulation to transmit multi-protocol packets over layer 2 point-to-point links. 7.4.3 Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol (PPTP) is used to extend a corporate network through a private tunnel over the public network. 7.

7.6.2 Section 364-180-202 Password Authentication Protocol (PAP) connects one computer to another and sends a plain text login and password. 7.6.3 Challenge Handshake Authentication Protocol (CHAP) uses a 3-way type handshake process that uses a dial back routine and encrypted password. In addition the server sends a randomly generated challenge string to the client, along with its hostname.
