The ASM-60 modem consists of the following major modules:  
•
CPU and Peripherals – This module, based on a microprocessor, includes  
Flash (1 Mb), RAM (0.5 Mb) and EEPROM (8 kb) memory and controls the  
ASM-60 operation.  
•
VDSL Framer – This module encapsulates data bit stream coming from DTE  
and transmits it over two different analog lines. At the other end, it reverses the  
process by converting the two line data into one bit stream for the DTE. In  
addition, the VDSL framer supplies clock to the DTE.  
•
VDSL Line Interface – Consists of two identical DSP modules. Each module  
transmits and receives signals over 2-wire at half of the data rate that running  
into the DTE interface.

Before switching on this unit and connecting any other cable, the protective  
earth terminals of this unit must be connected to the protective ground  
conductor of the power cord. If you are using an extension cord (power cable)  
make sure it is grounded as well.  
Warning  
Any interruption of the protective (grounding) conductor (inside or outside the  
instrument) or disconnecting of the protective earth terminal can make this  
unit dangerous. Intentional interruption is prohibited.  
The line fuse is located in an integral-type fuse holder located on the rear  
panel. Make sure that only fuses of the required rating, as marked on the rear  
panel, are used for replacement. Do not use repaired fuses or short-circuit the  
fuse holder. Always disconnect the mains cable before removing or replacing  
the fuse. Whenever it is likely that the fuse protection has been damaged,  
make the unit inoperative and secure it against unintended operation.  
AC power is supplied to the ASM-60 modem through a standard 3-prong plug  
with an integral fuse holder (see Figure 2-1).  
AC power should be supplied through the 5 ft (1.5m) standard power cable  
terminated by a standard 3-prong plug. The cable is provided with the unit.  
➤ To connect the AC power:  
1. Connect the power cable to the power connector on the ASM-60 rear panel.  
2. Connect the power cable to the mains outlet.  
The unit will be turned on automatically upon connection to the mains.

Diagnostics  
This chapter describes the ASM-60 diagnostic functions, which include:  
•
•
•
Status indications, alarms, power-up self-test  
VDSL performance diagnostics  
LED testing.  
5.1 Error Detection  
This section explains how to detect and fix errors and other problematic conditions  
in ASM-60.  
Power-Up Self-Test  
ASM-60 performs a hardware self-test upon turn-on. The self-test sequence checks  
the critical circuit functions of the modem.  
Front-Panel LEDs  
The status of ASM-60 is indicated by the ALM, TST, SYNC A and SYNC B  
indicators located on the front panel. For the description of LEDs and their  
functions, refer to Chapter 3.  
Alarms  
ASM-60 maintains two alarm buffers: temporary (up to 20 alarms) and permanent  
(up to 100 alarms). The temporary alarm buffer is displayed by the ASM-60  
management software as Alarms screen (see Figure 5-1), and the permanent alarm  
buffer as Log File (see Figure 5-2).  
An alarm enters simultaneously both Alarms display and log file, and the ALM LED  
turns on to indicate the condition. But once the event that caused the alarm is  
cleared, the alarm is removed from the temporary buffer, but it remains in the log  
file, enabling you to view the alarm history.

Appendix A  
IR-ETH Interface Module  
IR-ETH is an interface module for RAD modems, used for converting the Ethernet  
(10BaseT or 10Base2) electrical levels to the modem TTL levels. It also converts the  
Ethernet protocol to HDLC to enable long-distance transmission and avoid the  
Ethernet collision limitation.  
IR-ETH includes an internal, self-learning Ethernet bridge, which enables a high  
performance link between two Ethernet segments at a low transmission rate. The  
low-speed HDLC transmission is sent over the link using the modem modulation  
technique. It is converted back to an Ethernet signal at the remote modem.  
Figure A-1 shows a typical application using an Ethernet interface bridge. Each  
modem is connected to an Ethernet network via the Ethernet interface bridge.

IR-ETH/QH Interface Module  
B.1 Introduction  
The IR-ETH/QH interface module includes a high performance self-learning Fast  
Ethernet bridge, which is connected to the LAN via a single 10BaseT or 100BaseT  
port, operating in full duplex and providing offer simple and cost-effective  
interconnection between 10/100BaseT LANs via VDSL links. The IR-ETH/QH  
interface module also supports IEEE 802.1/Q frames, enabling VLAN applications.  
The module automatically learns MAC addresses of the LAN to which it is  
connected. Its LAN table stores up to 1,000 addresses with 5-minute automatic  
aging.  
Filtering and forwarding is performed at the maximum theoretical rate of  
150,000 packets per second (wire speed). The buffer with 1 Mb DRAM can hold  
170 frames with a throughput latency of one frame. The forwarding of the  
broadcast and multicast messages from LAN to WAN can be disabled.

Appendix C  
IR-IP Interface Module  
C.1 Introduction  
Overview  
IR-IP is a high-performance, miniature IP router based on RAD's unique IP router  
chip, the ChipRouter.  
IR-IP works by taking each Ethernet frame from the LAN and determining whether  
the IP packet is destined for the IP net on the Ethernet LAN. If not, IR-IP forwards  
the packet to the WAN (VDSL) link. IP packets received from the WAN link are  
automatically forwarded to the LAN if the IP net matches.  
IR-IP includes hardware filters which handle all filtering operations at wire speed  
from both LAN-to-WAN and WAN-to-LAN, without dropping a single packet.  
Filtering and forwarding are performed at the maximum rate of 35,000 and  
30,000 frames per second (wire speed), respectively. The buffer can hold  
256 frames of maximum size of 1534 bytes and a throughput latency of one  
frame.  
IR-IP is available with 10BaseT (UTP) interface and is fully  
IEEE 802.3/Ethernet v2 compliant. The IR-IP interface can also operate in full  
duplex Ethernet applications.  
ASM-60 equipped with IR-IP interface module can be used as a Frame Relay  
Access Device (FRAD) with an integral IP router. RFC 1490 is supported for a  
single DLCI on the WAN link. Detection of the DLCI and the maintenance  
protocol is performed automatically. This allows the IR-IP to be used as the  
termination unit of IP services over Frame Relay at the customer premises,  
opposite a Frame Relay switch in the backbone.  
Alternatively, Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP) can be run on the WAN link with  
automatic negotiation on power-up, as well as support for PAP and CHAP  
authentication. With this feature, IR-IP can operate opposite any PPP compliant  
access server or backbone router.  
IR-IP supports HDLC, which is especially important for broadcast and multicast  
applications where bandwidth overhead is critical.  
IR-IP supports IP multicast at wire speed, making it suitable for any multicast  
environment including high speed downstream environments, such as satellite and  
xDSL. Users on the LAN who register with IR-IP for an IP multicast group using the  
IGMP protocol filter IP multicast packets at wire speed.  
Management and advanced configuration are performed via Telnet.

Appendix C IR-IP Interface Module  
ASM-60 Installation and Operation Manual  
C.4 IR-IP Management Subsystem, General  
Introduction  
The IR-IP interface module management subsystem supports the following  
functions:  
•
•
•
•
•
Preliminary configuration  
Configuration of management access parameters  
Advanced configuration of IR-IP parameters  
Collection and display of statistical performance data  
Maintenance functions, which include:  
ꢀ Software downloading  
ꢀ Resetting of various subsystems  
ꢀ Display of error log  
ꢀ Ping utility, for checking IP connectivity.  
The management subsystem of the IR-IP interface module is a separate,  
independent entity, and therefore it cannot be managed through the ASM-60  
management subsystem.  
The communication with the IR-IP management subsystem is made through the  
local LAN interface connector of the IR-IP module, designated 10BASE-T, using  
the Telnet protocol. Passwords can be used to prevent unauthorized access.  
Accessing the IR-IP Management Subsystem  
The IR-IP interface module must be configured in accordance with the specific  
requirements of the user’s application before it can be used in the user’s network.  
As a result, it is not possible to supply default parameters to enable IR-IP to start  
service without any preliminary configuration.  
Therefore, to enable the user to establish Telnet communication and configure  
IR-IP, IR-IP is delivered with a default set of parameters. The default parameters  
are automatically used:  
•
Before the IP router is configured by the user, e.g., when a new ASM-60 with  
IR-IP interface module is put into operation  
•
After the user’s configuration parameters have been erased.  
When the factory-default parameters are used, the ERR indicator located on the  
ASM-60 rear panel, near the IR-IP Ethernet interface connector flashes rapidly  
(about three times per second).  
Note  
The flashing of the ERR indicator also serves as a warning to the user that the IR-IP  
WAN (VDSL) interface does not send, nor does it receive packets, and therefore IR-  
IP can be accessed only from the LAN.  
After configuring IR-IP, it starts normal operation and routes the traffic in  
accordance with the user-selected configuration parameters.  
To change the parameters of an already-configured IR-IP, establish communication  
from a Telnet host using the assigned IP address.

ASM-60 Installation and Operation Manual  
Appendix C IR-IP Interface Module  
Default IP Communication Parameters  
The default IP communication parameters of the interface module are:  
•
The default IP address of the IR-IP Ethernet port is 192.168.205.1, and the  
default IP subnet mask is 255.255.255.252.  
•
The port will accept IP communication only from the IP address  
192.168.205.2. Therefore, as long as the factory defaults are in effect, you  
must assign this address to the Telnet host used to configure IR-IP.  
Using the IP learning mechanism, as explained below you can change the default  
parameters.  
Note  
In the default configuration, the IR-IP WAN interface is disabled. In order to enable  
the WAN interface, you have to modify the Ethernet port address or the IP subnet  
mask.  
C.5 Performing Preliminary Configuration  
General  
The software necessary for performing all the management and configuration  
functions is stored in the IR-IP interface module, and therefore you only need a  
regular Telnet host to perform all the activities described in this appendix.  
A Telnet host is any computer, e.g., an IBM PC or compatible that fulfills the  
following minimum requirements:  
•
•
A standard 10BaseT Ethernet interface  
A TCP/IP protocol stack, and therefore is capable of supporting IP  
communication through the Ethernet interface  
•
•
Telnet client software  
A ping utility.  
Outline of Preliminary Configuration  
➤ To perform the preliminary configuration procedure:  
1. Connect the Telnet host to the IR-IP interface module.  
2. Configure the Telnet host to enable communication with the IR-IP interface  
module using the default IP parameters.  
3. Establish communication with IR-IP and assign the prescribed IP address to its  
LAN interface.  
4. Establish again communication with IR-IP and continue the preliminary  
configuration in accordance with the Quick Setup Menu section below.

Appendix C IR-IP Interface Module  
ASM-60 Installation and Operation Manual  
Connecting the Telnet Host  
Before starting the management and configuration activities, it is necessary to  
establish IP communication between your Telnet host and the IR-IP interface  
module. For this purpose, it is necessary to provide a communication path.  
Because of the method used to assign an IP address to IR-IP Ethernet port, it is  
recommended to connect the Telnet host directly to the IP router 10BASE-T  
connector. This is made by connecting an Ethernet cross cable between the  
Ethernet connector of the Telnet host and the IR-IP connector.  
However, you may also connect through a common LAN: in this case, connect  
your Telnet host and IR-IP to Ethernet hub ports using straight cables.  
Preliminary Telnet Host Configuration  
You can use the IP learning mechanism to configure the IP communication  
parameters of the IR-IP LAN interface. In this case, skip to the Assigning the Router  
LAN Interface Address section below.  
If you prefer to use the factory-default parameters to establish IP communication  
between your Telnet host and IR-IP, configure the Telnet host as follows:  
1. Temporarily configure the host IP address as 192.168.205.2.  
2. The initial destination IP address to be used by the host is 192.168.205.1.  
Note  
The first step in the preliminary configuration process is to assign the desired IP  
address to the LAN interface of the IR-IP interface module.  
After an IP address is assigned and saved, you must change the destination IP  
address of the Telnet host to the new address, otherwise it is not possible to  
continue the configuration process. At the same time, you can also change the  
temporary IP address assigned to the host (192.168.205.2) back to its permanent  
address.  
Assigning the Router LAN Interface Address  
The IP address of the IR-IP LAN interface must be configured as part of the  
preliminary configuration process. To simplify this process, IR-IP includes a simple  
and convenient IP address learning mechanism.  
The IP address can be configured and changed at any time, even after the  
complete IR-IP configuration process has been performed, because it does not  
affect other configuration parameters. Moreover, the IP subnet mask is  
automatically adapted to the new IP address.  
IP Learning Mechanism  
To simplify the configuration process, IR-IP has a special mechanism for  
configuring the IP address of its LAN interface. Setting section 1, called IP address  
learning, of the IR-IP DIP switch (Figure C-3) to ON enables this mechanism.  
The IP learning mechanism enables IR-IP to learn its LAN interface IP address by  
receiving frames sent by a ping utility to the prescribed LAN IP address.  
Note  
To use the IP learning mechanism, you do not need to know the current address of  
IR-IP LAN interface, but only the prescribed IP address.  
C-6  
Performing Preliminary Configuration

ASM-60 Installation and Operation Manual  
Appendix C IR-IP Interface Module  
The IP address is actually retrieved from the ARP frames sent during pinging to  
locate the ping destination, not from the ping frames.  
To ensure that the process is correctly performed, it is recommended to check the  
contents of the ARP table before starting the ping utility, to make sure that it does  
not contain the address to be assigned to the IP router LAN interface.  
➤ To view and edit the ARP table contents:  
If the Telnet host you are using runs under Microsoft Inc. Windows™95, 98 or  
NT, use the following procedure to view and edit the ARP table contents:  
1. Display the table using the arp -acommand.  
2. If the table includes the intended IP address, remove it from the table using  
the arp -dcommand.  
If for some reason the IP learning process does not succeed, before repeating it  
make sure to remove the IP address from the table.  
Assigning a LAN IP Address to a New IR-IP  
The following procedure enables you to configure the LAN IP address of a new  
IR-IP router, i.e., a router using the default parameters (see the Accessing the IR-IP  
Management Subsystem section above).  
If ASM-60 is already operating, skip Step 2 in the following procedure.  
➤ To configure the IP router LAN address:  
1. Make sure the preparations described above have been completed, including  
the configuration of the ping utility.  
2. Turn ASM-60on and monitor the IP router indicators:  
ꢀ The INT indicator turns on  
ꢀ The ERR indicator lights steadily for approx. 15 seconds, and then starts  
flashing at a rapid rate (about three times per second).  
If the ERR indicator turns off, skip to the What to Do If ... section below.  
3. Set section 1 of IR-IP DIP switch to ON.  
The ERR indicator starts flashing faster (approximately four times a second).  
4. Send a ping to the new address to be used by IR-IP. A confirmation should be  
received after the third ping: after the confirmation, the flashing will slow  
down to approximately twice a second.  
If your host does not begin to receive ping replies after three unsuccessful  
attempts, skip to the What to Do If ... section below.  
5. Return section 1 of the IR-IP DIP switch to the OFF position.  
The ERR indicator must turn off.  
At this stage, the communication with IR-IP router is lost, because its IP address  
has been changed. Therefore, you must reconfigure the destination IP address of  
the Telnet host. If you wish, you may also change the temporary IP address  
assigned to the host (192.168.205.2) back to its permanent address.

Appendix C IR-IP Interface Module  
ASM-60 Installation and Operation Manual  
After changing the destination IP address of the Telnet host, it is recommended to  
turn ASM-60 off for a few seconds and then back on, before continuing the  
configuration of the IP router in accordance with the Quick Setup Menu section  
below. At this time, in Step 2 the ERR indicator turns off after the 15-second  
interval.  
Changing the LAN IP Address of a Configured IR-IP  
The LAN IP address of an already-configured IR-IP can be changed while it  
operates, this means it is not necessary to turn ASM-60off before starting the  
configuration procedure. Note however that the IP traffic flow through IR-IP will  
be disrupted until the other stations in the IP network learn the new address.  
To change the LAN IP address of an already-configured IR-IP, use the procedure  
described above for a new IR-IP with the following differences:  
1. Configure the destination address of the ping utility to the new LAN interface  
IP address. It is not necessary to change the Telnet host source address.  
2. When ready, set section 1 of the IR-IP DIP switch to ON.  
The ERR indicator starts flashing faster (approximately four times a second).  
3. Perform Steps 4, 5 of the procedure used for a new IR-IP.  
What to Do If ...  
➤ The INT indicator does not light immediately after ASM-60 is turned on  
The IR-IP interface module does not receive power from the ASM-60 power  
supply. Service is required.  
Note  
After the power-up process ends, the INT indicator shows LAN integrity. It may stay  
turned off without indicating power supply failure.  
➤ The ERR indicator does not light immediately after ASM-60 is turned on  
IR-IP is faulty and must be replaced.  
➤ After turn-on, the ERR indicator lights for 15 seconds and then turns off. ACT  
does not light, and there is no response from IR-IP  
No software loaded into IR-IP. Download software using the procedure described  
in the New Software Download Menu section below.  
➤ After turn-on, the ERR indicator lights for 15 seconds, and then turns off. ACT  
lights from time to time, but there is no response from IR-IP  
IR-IP has been configured. If you do not know the current IP address of the LAN  
interface, erase IR-IP router configuration using the procedure given in the Erasing  
User’s Configuration section below.  
➤ No ping replies from IR-IP  
If your host does not begin to receive ping replies after three unsuccessful  
attempts, check the physical connection path between the Telnet host Ethernet  
interface and the IR-IP 10BASE-T connector.  
➤ The IP learning process is not successful  
Check that the prescribed IP address does not appear in the ARP table.

C.6 IR-IP Management Utility  
General Operating Procedures  
The IR-IP interface module is managed via a simple, menu-driven utility that uses a  
basic terminal user interface. A typical screen is shown in Figure C-4.  
As seen in Figure C-4, each screen has a header that identifies the device being  
configured and its logical name, assigned by the user, followed by the running  
software revision and date. The bottom line of the screen displays prompts that  
guide you in the execution of the various activities.  
Use the following general procedures to perform the desired activity:  
•
To change a parameter or to select a menu item, type the corresponding line  
number.  
•
For a parameter, which has a discrete set of values, the parameter values are  
enclosed in brackets [ ]. To select a new value, press the spacebar to scroll  
among the available values until the desired value is displayed, and then press  
<Enter> to select the displayed value.  
•
•
To enter a value which requires free text entry, type in the desired string and  
then press <Enter>. Use backspace to erase the current string.  
After all the parameters have been selected, a prompt appears, requesting that  
you confirm the changes.  
Note  
For proper display of the screens, you must:  
•
Select a fixed-pitch system font for the display. Use your operating system  
documentation to find how to select a proper font.  
•
Configure the Telnet utility to use VT-100 terminal emulation.  
Starting a Management Utility  
The management utility is started automatically when Telnet communication is  
established. If password protection is enabled (see the Management Access Menu  
section below), you will be prompted to enter the Telnet password. The opening  
screen, which appears after the Telnet session activation, is the IR-IP Main menu  
(see Figure C-4).

LAN IP Address  
Used to enter the IP address for the IP router LAN interface. This is the address to  
which nodes connected to the local LAN send packets addressed to the WAN.  
LAN IP Mask  
Used to enter the IP subnet mask. The IP router supports a maximum of 254 hosts  
on the LAN, therefore you must use Class C subnet masks. The basic subnet IP  
mask for Class C addresses, which supports the maximum possible number of  
hosts, 254, is 255.255.255.0. To help you understand the selection of IP subnet  
masks, Figure C-7 provides a configuration example for a LAN with 6 nodes: the IP  
subnet mask for a 6-node IP network is 255.255.255.248.

Appendix C IR-IP Interface Module  
ASM-60 Installation and Operation Manual  
Default Gateway  
Operation without Default Gateway  
The IP interface module is intended to enable the extension of LANs through the  
ASM-60 VDSL link. Therefore, its default routing operation is different from the  
default routing operation of standard IP routers:  
•
IR-IP forwards packets with destinations not located on the local LAN through  
the WAN interface  
•
Packets received from the WAN interface and destined to hosts located on the  
local LAN are forwarded to the LAN; other packets are discarded.  
The default operation is used when the Default Gateway field is blank.  
Operation with Default Gateway  
You can instruct IR-IP to send packets with destinations not located on the local  
LAN to a specific router, which is called the default gateway. The default gateway  
must be connected to the local LAN.  
To use this option, enter the IP address of another router attached to the local LAN  
in the Default Gateway field.  
Note  
It is very important to obtain the correct parameters from the system administrator  
or ISP. The most common problem when establishing an IP connection is incorrect  
configuration of IP parameters and default gateway. Do not try to guess these  
parameters.  
Read Protocol from DIP Switches  
Selecting YES for this parameter forces IR-IP router card to use the WAN protocol  
selected by section 2 of its DIP switch: PPP or Frame Relay.  
If you want to be able to select the WAN protocol by means of the Protocol field  
(parameter 7) of the Quick Setup menu, select NO.  
Protocol  
Used to select the WAN protocol to be used by the IP router card: PPP, HDLC or  
Frame Relay.  
This parameter is available only if the Read Protocol from DIP Switches parameter  
is set to NO.  
C.8 Management Access Menu  
The Management Access menu is used to enable the use of passwords to protect  
the access to IR-IP management utility, and control the inactivity time-out interval.  
When password protection is enabled, a Telnet management session can start only  
after the correct password is entered.

By default, management access to IR-IP via Telnet is unrestricted. To restrict  
access, enter a Telnet password by selecting 1 in the Management Access menu.  
The password can include up to 10 characters, and is case-sensitive. The next time  
a Telnet session is opened, a password must be entered to enable you to access  
the IR-IP menus.  
At any time, only one Telnet connection to IR-IP is permitted. Any attempt to  
open an additional connection while the current session is open is rejected.  
Telnet Inactivity Timeout  
This parameter specifies the time a Telnet session is kept open when there is no  
keyboard activity. When the specified time-out expires, the Telnet session is closed  
and another user can access IR-IP.

Using the Ping Function  
The Ping option is used to confirm IP connectivity by pinging other IP hosts.  
Connectivity is confirmed by receiving a reply from the remote (pinged) IP host.  
➤ To ping a host:  
1. From the Diagnostic Tools menu, type 1 and enter the desired host IP address.  
2. Press <Enter> to confirm the destination IP address.  
3. To start pinging, type 2 on the Diagnostic Tools screen.  
After pinging starts, you can monitor the ping status. A typical screen is  
shown in Figure C-26.  
Note  
After pinging is started, it continues in the background even if you exit the  
Diagnostics Tools screen. In this case, a Ping Running message appears in the top  
upper left-hand corner of the screen.  
4. To stop pinging, type 3 from the Diagnostic Tools menu.  
A Ping Stopped message is displayed.  
To clear the message and return to the Diagnostic Tools screen, press any  
key.

ASM-60 Installation and Operation Manual  
C.13  
Erasing User’s Configuration  
The user-defined configuration parameters are stored in the IP router card flash  
memory. After the user-defined configuration parameters are erased, the IP router  
card automatically loads the default parameters.  
You may want to erase the current configuration parameters:  
1. Before IR-IP is prepared for operation in a new application.  
2. When you cannot configure IR-IP because its current LAN-interface IP address  
and/or the Telnet password, are not known.  
➤ To erase the user’s configuration:  
1. Turn ASM-60 off.  
2. Set all the four sections of the IR-IP DIP switch (Figure C-3) to ON.  
3. Turn ASM-60 on and monitor the ERR indicator: it must turn on and light  
steadily.  
4. While the ERR indicator is lit (within 15 seconds), set sections 1 and 2 of the  
DIP switch to OFF.  
The IP router configuration is erased.  
Note  
If you do not set sections 1 and 2 to OFF within 15 seconds of power-up, the IP  
router card ignores the setting of all the four sections to ON and starts normal  
operation. In this case, it is recommended to turn ASM-60 off and then back on.  
To abort the whole operation, turn ASM-60 off, return all the four-switch section to  
the desired positions, and then turn ASM-60 on again.  
5. Turn ASM-60 off, and the return all the four sections of the DIP switch to the  
desired positions.  
C.14  
Erasing IR-IP Software  
You may erase the IR-IP application software, without erasing the user-defined  
parameters.  
After the application software is erased, IR-IP starts its TFTP server application, and  
waits for the downloading of software by a TFTP client connected to its LAN  
interface. The procedure to be used to download the application software in this  
case is also described below.  
You may want to erase the application software if the downloading of new  
software using the Device Control menu (see Figure C-16) fails, and IR-IP does not  
function properly.  
Erasing Application Software  
➤ To erase the application software:

2. Set all the four sections of IR-IP DIP switch to ON.  
3. Turn the ASM-60 on and monitor the IP router ERR indicator: it must turn on  
and light steadily.  
4. While the ERR indicator is lit (within 15 seconds), set sections 3 and 4 of IR-IP  
DIP switch to OFF.  
The IP router application software is erased.  
Note  
If you do not set sections 3 and 4 to OFF within 15 seconds of power-up, IR-IP  
ignores the setting of all the four sections to ON and starts normal operation. In this  
case, it is recommended to turn ASM-60 off and then back on.  
Alternately, to abort the whole operation, turn ASM-60 off, return all the four  
switches to the desired positions, and then turn ASM-60 on again.  
5. Turn ASM-60 off, and the return all the four sections of the DIP switch to the  
desired positions.  
Downloading New Software  
After erasing the application software, you can download new software from any  
computer that can serve as a TFTP client.  
To enable the downloading, IR-IP automatically activates its TFTP server  
application with the following factory-default IP parameters:  
•
•
IP address:  
192.168.205.1  
Subnet mask:  
255.255.255.252.  
Connect the computer serving as a TFTP client to the IR-IP 10BASE-T connector in  
the way as a Telnet host used for preliminary configuration (see the Performing  
Preliminary Configuration section). The computer IP parameters must be  
configured as follows:  
•
•
•
IP address  
192.168.205.2  
255.255.255.252  
192.168.205.1  
Subnet mask  
Default gateway  
➤ To download new software:  
1. If necessary, turn ASM-60 off.  
2. Set all the four sections of the IR-IP DIP switch to OFF.  
3. Turn ASM-60 on and monitor the ERR indicator: it must start flashing.  
4. Connect the computer to the IP router LAN interface and configure its IP  
parameters as explained above.  
5. Run a standard TFTP client application on the Telnet host, and download the  
appropriate software file.  
If the download is successful, IR-IP starts using the new software.  
If the downloading fails, repeat the download process.
