6 3.0 PPP Operational Background PPP is a protocol used for multi-plexed transport over a point-to-point link. PPP operates on all full duplex media, and is a symmetric peer-to-peer protocol, which can be broken into three main components: 1. A standard method to encapsulate datagrams over serial links; 2. A Link Control Protocol (LCP) to establish[...]

7 For example, the customer site is assigned the addresses 192.168.1.0/24 through 192.168.1.1/24. The address 192.168.1.1/24 is also the default gateway for the remote network. The above settings remove any routing/forwarding intelligence from the CPE. The associ- ated Cisco configuration will set serial interface (s0) to accommodate half bridging [...]

Switch S2-6 and S2-7: Clock Mode Set Switch S2-6 and S2-7 to determine the 2720’s transmitter tim- ing. S2-6 S2-7 Clock Mode Off Of f Network Clock . T ransmitter timing is derived from the received line signal. On Off Internal Clock . T ransmitter clock is derived from an internal oscillator . NOTE 1: When using the Model 2720 as a high-speed sh[...]

11 12 3.1.2 Switch S1 The chart below shows the default configurations for Switch S1. A description of all S1 options follows this table. Switch S1-1: RDL T ype Switch S1-1 selects the type of Remote Digital Loopback that the 2720 will initiate when the RDL is initiated from this unit. The 2720 will respond to both the V54 and the CSU loopback rega[...]

13 14 3.2 SOFTW ARE CONFIGURA TION The Model 2720 features a menu-driven command system that allows you to monitor/configure its operating parameters. Follow the instructions below to configure the Model 2720 using the software selections: 1) Plug the 9-pin male end of the cable to your terminal or com- puter ’s DB-9 serial port and start up the [...]

T o make a selection, key the highlighted letter that corre- sponds to a menu selection. 2. T o execute the selection, type [Enter/CR] 3. T o toggle between options on a hi[...]

17 18 3.2.2 System Configuration The default System Configuration menu looks like this: The System Configuration options are described below: Line Format: ESF (default) Options: ESF , D4, UNFRAMED D4: This is an older , but widely used, line format that does not provide FDL, so network interface performance cannot be monitored so easily . A T&T[...]

Clocking : Network (default) Options: Network, Internal, External Network: This is the most commonly used setting when connect ing to a carrier ’s network. In this mode, the unit recovers the clock from the received signal and uses it to transmit data. In this way the unit remains synchronized to a master clock. In campus applications, one of the[...]

21 22 ESF Data Link: ANSI T1.403 (default) Options: ANSI T1.403, A T&T TR54016 ANSI T1.403: This ANSI developed standard (see ANSI T1.403- 1995: Network-to-Customer Installation—DS1 Metallic Interface) uses the FDL to send and receive one second Performance Report Messages (PRMs). The messages con- tain the NI performance over the last four s[...]

23 24 unit. This will cause the unit to enter a special mode. Then turn off the unit and change the switch settings to the desired settings. When you turn the unit on again, the unit will be set up with the selected switch settings. DS0 Channel Configuration Menu: [ Bandwidth/# Channels = 1,536/24 ] (default) The DS0 Channel Configuration Menu has [...]

25 26 Remote Loop Idle (default) The Remote Digital Loopback (RDL) test checks the performance of both the local and remote Model 2720s, as well as the communica- tion link between them. Data from the local DTE is sent across the entire communication circuit and looped back to the local DTE. The Model 2720 Initiating a RL can be in one of the follo[...]

27 28 NI ST A TUS The Network interface (NI) status is shown in the middle of the Diagnostics/Statistics screen. The brackets are empty when the link is operat- ing normally . In this example, various two or three-letter messages are displayed within the brackets, illustrating what you may see if the Model 2720 is not connected at all or is in a lo[...]

29 30 Rx PRM The NetLink-T1™ transmits ANSI performance report messages once a second when the framing mode is ESF . When the ESF Data Link is set to ANSI T1.403, the unit recognizes PRMs with addresses of 38h or 3Ah. The address 3Ah indicates the PRM is coming from a Carrier , whereas the address 38h indicates the PRM is coming from a Customer .[...]

31 32 Loop Timeout The Loop T imeout setting can be set to one of the following: 00:05 = five minutes 00:10 = ten minutes 00:15 = fifteen minutes 00:30 = thirty minutes (default setting) 00:45 = forty-five minutes 01:00 = one hour 01:30 = 90 minutes 02:00 = two hours 03:00 = three hours NEVER = forever—the unit will remain in loopback without use[...]

35 36 5.2 LOOP (V .54 & TELCO) DIAGNOSTICS The NetLink-T1™ offers three V .54 loop diagnostics and is com- patible with two T elco loop diagnostics. Use these diagnostics to test the CSU/DSU and any communication links. These tests can be acti- vated via the software control port (See Section 3.2.3 System Diagnostics ), via signals on the ser[...]

5.3 BIT ERROR RA TE (V .52) DIAGNOSTICS The NetLink-T1™ offers three V .52 Bit Error Rate (BER) test pat- terns. These test patterns may be invoked along with the LAL and RDL tests to evaluate the unit(s) and the communication links. When a 51 1, 2047, or QRSS test is invoked, the NetLink-T1™ generates a pseudo-random bit pattern of 51 1 bits, [...]
