Introduction to ETHX-2214-DS3 and ETHX-2224-DS3 The EtherXtend 2200 Series of DS3 Ethernet Access Devices (EADs) allows Carriers, ISPs and PTTs to deliver Ethernet services to virtually anywhere, using standard unframed DS3 circuits. These units permit the efficient and reliable delivery of Ethernet on a single DS3 or on a bonded pair of DS3 circuits.
Provider vs Subscriber Units The EtherXtend 2200 DS3 units can be operated in either a Provider or Subscriber mode. A Subscriber unit is always considered as a ‘slave’ to the Provider unit, which acts as a ‘master’ when enabling the DS3 ports and loop bonding configurations. Therefore when using the ETHX-22x4-DS3 devices in a network, one Provider and one Subscriber unit are required on the unframed DS3. Typical applications of EtherXtend 2200 DS3 EADs are shown in the figure below.
Provider and Subscriber Unit Defaults The following table highlights the differences between Provider and Subscriber units. Table 1. Unit Defaults by Type Feature Provider Unit Subscriber Unit Default IP Address 192.168.254.252 192.168.254.
Powering Up the Network Extender The DC power terminal block on the network extender has five terminals: two positive, two negative, and one with no connection (NC). Only one positive terminal and one negative terminal pair need to be connected for operational purposes. The second positive and negative terminal pair may be connected to a backup DC power supply for redundancy purposes. There is also a system ground terminal on the back panel above the power connector.
Power Connection – AC Power 1. The AC power supply is shipped with the power terminal strip already attached. No AC power supply other than the one supplied with the ETHX-22x4-DS3 is approved for use in powering the unit. Using any other AC power supply could cause the unit to be non-compliant to emissions and safety regulations. 2. Plug the power terminal strip into the power connector on the back of the unit. 3. Plug the AC power cord into the AC power supply and into a compatible AC outlet. 4.
Connecting the DS3 Lines The ETHX-2214-DS3 device supports a single, unframed DS3 facility while the ETHX2224-DS3 device supports up two (2) unframed DS3 facilities. The ETHX-2224-DS3 device can be operated with just one of the two DS3s connected, or can be used in loop bonded applications where both DS3 circuits are utilized. Each DS3 port requires the use of two (2) 75 ohm BNC connectors, one each for transmit and receive signals. DS3 Tx Rx 10/100 E THERNE T 48VDC 0.
Single DS3 Connection A single line connection can be established between a single port Subscriber unit and either a single port or dual port ETHX-2224-DS3 Provider unit. Likewise, a single line connection can be established between a single port Provider unit and either a single port or dual port ETHX-2214-DS3 Subscriber unit. Procedure 1. Plug two coax cables, one for transmit (Tx) and one for receive (Rx), into the DS3 BNC 75 ohm port on the back of the network extender. 2.
Connecting the Ethernet Lines The 10/100BaseT Ethernet ports can auto-negotiate speed and duplex mode in accordance with the remote equipment to which it is connected. Alternatively, Ethernet speed and duplex mode configurations can be configured using web management. (See Web Interface on page 14.) For the best connection results, the remote devices (PCs, hubs, or switches) should be set to auto-negotiate speed and duplex mode. Procedure 1.
LED Indicators Table 2. DS3 LEDs Additional Information LED State Indication DS3 Connections LINK/ACT (Ports 1 or 1&2) Flashing Green* DS3 connection is established and active Traffic is flowing. Solid Green DS3 link A connection exists but there is indication of a problem with the DS3 line. Solid Amber Remote Alarm Indication (RAI). The outgoing connection from the unit has been lost; no data is being transmitted. Yellow alarm.
Table 3. Ethernet LEDs LED State Indication Additional Information 10/100 Ethernet Connections LINK/ACT Pulsing Green Standard operation Traffic is flowing without any problems. Solid Green Ethernet connection is established If the Ethernet LINK/ACT LED is illuminated but not the Ethernet 100 LED then a 10 Mbps connection has been established. If the Ethernet 100 LED is also illuminated, then a 100 Mbps connection has been established.
Web Interface The network extender’s integral web management lets you configure and monitor the network extender using a standard web browser. Web Interface System Requirements Web Browser – Required for running web management. Compatible web browsers include, but are not limited to, Microsoft Internet Explorer (v4.0 or higher) and Netscape Navigator (v4.0 or higher). Web management is optimized for use with Internet Explorer. Use your browser's default settings when running web management.
5. Write down the current IP Address and Subnet Mask in the Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) Properties dialog box. When you are done using web management, you will need to reconfigure your PC with these values. 6. In the Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) Properties dialog box, click in the radio button labeled Use the following IP address and type 192.168.254.x (where x is any number between 3 and 250, inclusive) in the IP Address field. 7. Type 255.255.255.0 in the Subnet Mask field. 8.
From this screen you can: Click on . . . To configure . . . Management Config. IP Address, Subnet Mask, Default Gateway, In-band Management VLAN ID and Priority Advanced Config. System Name and Location, Management IP Address Filter, TFTP and Telnet access HTTP Password General and Superuser Passwords SNMP Config.
Establishing an Static ARP Table Entry for a Subscriber Unit The Subscriber unit’s DS3 ports will not respond to an ARP request containing the unit’s default IP address. In order to manage the Subscriber unit using web management you must create a static ARP table entry on your PC. To build a static ARP table entry: Procedure Note – This procedure is not necessary if you are connecting directly to the Ethernet ports on either the Provider or Subscriber units. 1.
Configuring Provider or Subscriber Modes To reconfigure a unit from Provider (factory default) to Subscriber mode, open the web management home page as described above. Observe the designation displayed on the top-right side of graphical view of the front of the unit (just under the Zhone Logo). It will display either the word “Provider” or “Subscriber” indicating the current mode of the unit.
Command Line Interface The network extender can be managed with a Command Line Interface (CLI) through either a direct PC to COM (Communication) Port connection or from a remote network connection via Telnet. CLI System Requirements Straight-Through 8-Pin Modular Ethernet Cable – Required for establishing a direct connection from the COM port to a DB9 adapter. DB9 Female to 8-Pin Modular Male Adapter – Required for conversion of your PC's RS232 serial port for use with the Ethernet cable.
Launching the Terminal Emulation Program Launch a terminal emulation program on your PC and configure the program settings. The terminal emulation software should be configured as follows (refer to your terminal emulation program’s user manual for further information).
Resetting the Network Extender to Factory Defaults The network extender supports a reset process that may be used to delete the current configuration and return it to the factory defaults, including the default password. Procedure To return the network extender to its factory default configuration: 1. The reset button is located behind a small hole on the left side of the faceplate of the network extender. Use a straightened paper clip to gently push the button and let it go. 2.
