Handling Energized Products  
General Safety Practices  
Do not touch or tamper with the power supply when the power cord is connected. Line voltages may  
be present inside certain products even when the power switch (if installed) is in the OFF position or a  
fuse is blown. For DC-powered products, although the voltages levels are usually not hazardous,  
energy hazards may still exist.  
Before working on equipment connected to power lines or telecommunication lines, remove jewelry  
or any other metallic object that may come into contact with energized parts.  
Unless otherwise specified, all products are intended to be grounded during normal use. Grounding is  
provided by connecting the mains plug to a wall socket with a protective earth terminal. If an earth lug  
is provided on the product, it should be connected to the protective earth at all times, by a wire with a  
diameter of 18 AWG or wider. Rack-mounted equipment should be mounted only in earthed racks  
and cabinets.  
Always make the ground connection first and disconnect it last. Do not connect telecommunication  
cables to ungrounded equipment. Make sure that all other cables are disconnected before  
disconnecting the ground.  
Connection of AC Mains  
Make sure that the electrical installation complies with local codes.  
Always connect the AC plug to a wall socket with a protective ground.  
The maximum permissible current capability of the branch distribution circuit that supplies power to  
the product is 16A. The circuit breaker in the building installation should have high breaking capacity  
and must operate at short-circuit current exceeding 35A.  
Always connect the power cord first to the equipment and then to the wall socket. If a power switch is  
provided in the equipment, set it to the OFF position. If the power cord cannot be readily  
disconnected in case of emergency, make sure that a readily accessible circuit breaker or emergency  
switch is installed in the building installation.  
Connection of DC Mains  
Unless otherwise specified in the manual, the DC input to the equipment is floating in reference to the  
ground. Any single pole can be externally grounded.  
Due to the high current capability of DC mains systems, care should be taken when connecting the DC  
supply to avoid short-circuits and fire hazards.  
DC units should be installed in a restricted access area, i.e. an area where access is authorized only to  
qualified service and maintenance personnel.  
Make sure that the DC supply is electrically isolated from any AC source and that the installation  
complies with the local codes.  
The maximum permissible current capability of the branch distribution circuit that supplies power to  
the product is 16A. The circuit breaker in the building installation should have high breaking capacity  
and must operate at short-circuit current exceeding 35A.  
Before connecting the DC supply wires, ensure that power is removed form the DC circuit. Locate the  
circuit breaker of the panel board that services the equipment and switch it to the OFF position. When  
connecting the DC supply wires, first connect the ground wire to the corresponding terminal, then the  
positive pole and last the negative pole. Switch the circuit breaker back to the ON position.  
A readily accessible disconnect device that is suitably rated and approved should be incorporated in  
the building installation.

Connection of Data and Telecommunications Cables  
Data and telecommunication interfaces are classified according to their safety status.  
The following table lists the status of several standard interfaces. If the status of a given port differs from  
the standard one, a notice will be given in the manual.  
Ports  
Safety Status  
V.11, V.28, V.35, V.36, RS-530,  
X.21, 10 BaseT, 100 BaseT,  
Unbalanced E1, E2, E3, STM, DS-2,  
DS-3, S-Interface ISDN, Analog voice  
E&M  
SELV Safety Extra Low Voltage:  
Ports which do not present a safety hazard. Usually  
up to 30 VAC or 60 VDC.  
xDSL (without feeding voltage),  
Balanced E1, T1, Sub E1/T1  
TNV-1 Telecommunication Network Voltage-1:  
Ports whose normal operating voltage is within the  
limits of SELV, on which overvoltages from  
telecommunications networks are possible.  
FXS (Foreign Exchange Subscriber)  
TNV-2 Telecommunication Network Voltage-2:  
Ports whose normal operating voltage exceeds the  
limits of SELV (usually up to 120 VDC or telephone  
ringing voltages), on which overvoltages from  
telecommunication networks are not possible. These  
ports are not permitted to be directly connected to  
external telephone and data lines.  
FXO (Foreign Exchange Office), xDSL TNV-3 Telecommunication Network Voltage-3:  
(with feeding voltage), U-Interface  
Ports whose normal operating voltage exceeds the  
ISDN  
limits of SELV (usually up to 120 VDC or telephone  
ringing voltages), on which overvoltages from  
telecommunication networks are possible.  
Always connect a given port to a port of the same safety status. If in doubt, seek the assistance of a  
qualified safety engineer.  
Always make sure that the equipment is grounded before connecting telecommunication cables. Do  
not disconnect the ground connection before disconnecting all telecommunications cables.  
Some SELV and non-SELV circuits use the same connectors. Use caution when connecting cables.  
Extra caution should be exercised during thunderstorms.  
When using shielded or coaxial cables, verify that there is a good ground connection at both ends. The  
earthing and bonding of the ground connections should comply with the local codes.  
The telecommunication wiring in the building may be damaged or present a fire hazard in case of  
contact between exposed external wires and the AC power lines. In order to reduce the risk, there are  
restrictions on the diameter of wires in the telecom cables, between the equipment and the mating  
connectors.  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
Caution  
To reduce the risk of fire, use only No. 26 AWG or larger telecommunication line cords.  
Attention  
Pour réduire les risques s’incendie, utiliser seulement des conducteurs de  
télécommunications 26 AWG ou de section supérieure.  
Some ports are suitable for connection to intra-building or non-exposed wiring or cabling only. In such  
cases, a notice will be given in the installation instructions.  
Do not attempt to tamper with any carrier-provided equipment or connection hardware.  
Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC)  
The equipment is designed and approved to comply with the electromagnetic regulations of major  
regulatory bodies. The following instructions may enhance the performance of the equipment and will  
provide better protection against excessive emission and better immunity against disturbances.  
A good earth connection is essential. When installing the equipment in a rack, make sure to remove all  
traces of paint from the mounting points. Use suitable lock-washers and torque. If an external  
grounding lug is provided, connect it to the earth bus using braided wire as short as possible.  
The equipment is designed to comply with EMC requirements when connecting it with unshielded  
twisted pair (UTP) cables. However, the use of shielded wires is always recommended, especially for  
high-rate data. In some cases, when unshielded wires are used, ferrite cores should be installed on  
certain cables. In such cases, special instructions are provided in the manual.  
Disconnect all wires which are not in permanent use, such as cables used for one-time configuration.  
The compliance of the equipment with the regulations for conducted emission on the data lines is  
dependent on the cable quality. The emission is tested for UTP with 80 dB longitudinal conversion loss  
(LCL).  
Unless otherwise specified or described in the manual, TNV-1 and TNV-3 ports provide secondary  
protection against surges on the data lines. Primary protectors should be provided in the building  
installation.  
The equipment is designed to provide adequate protection against electro-static discharge (ESD).  
However, it is good working practice to use caution when connecting cables terminated with plastic  
connectors (without a grounded metal hood, such as flat cables) to sensitive data lines. Before  
connecting such cables, discharge yourself by touching earth ground or wear an ESD preventive wrist  
strap.

Introduction  
1.1 Overview  
FCD-IPM is an E1/T1 or fractional E1/T1 Integrated Access Device (IAD), which  
enables service providers to bundle voice and Internet access services over a single  
E1 or T1 access line. FCD-IPM connects an Ethernet LAN to the Internet or  
Intranet through the integrated IP/IPX router or bridge. The connection is made via  
E1/T1/SHDSL links, operating at data rates of up to 2.048 Mbps for E1,  
1.544 Mbps for T1 or 2.048 Mbps for SHDSL with optional backup for data using  
ISDN or PSTN networks. WAN data protocols supported are Frame Relay, PPP  
and MLPPP. FCD-IPM also supports two Ethernet LAN connections and provides  
two IO data channel slot options.  
FCD-IPM provides transparent data and voice capabilities over the E1 or T1 access  
line, such as a synchronous data channel that supports user-selectable transmission  
rates, digital voice over sub E1 or T1 link that supports PBX and analog FXS, FXO  
and E&M voice ports.

FCD-IPM Installation and Operation Manual  
Chapter 1 Introduction  
The main and sublinks have two line interfaces:  
120balanced line interface, terminated in an RJ-48C eight-pin (ISO 10173)  
connector  
75unbalanced interface, terminated in two BNC coaxial connectors  
T1 versions have a 100balanced interface.  
You can select the E1 interface to activate the LTU option. With the T1 version,  
you can choose to activate CSU or DSU.  
When a power failure occurs, the failsafe bypass of the sub E1/T1 link ensures the  
continuity of voice services between the main and the fix sublink.  
Note  
The fail-safe bypass of the E1/T1 sub-link is not available for the FCD-IPM units  
equipped with SHDSL interface.  
E1 over SHDSL  
E1 traffic can also be transmitted using 2-wire SHDSL physical interface. The  
SHDSL link uses TC-PAM technology and complies with the requirements of the  
ITU-T G.991.2 standard. Table 1-1 lists typical FCD-IPM ranges over 2-wire  
24 AWG line.

FCD-IPM Installation and Operation Manual  
Chapter 1 Introduction  
FCD-IPM interconnects:  
Any LAN to link  
Two LANs of the same Bridge  
Two LANs and link.  
FCD-IPM interconnects all of its interfaces to one extended LAN.  
FCD-IPM supports standard bridging, as specified in IEEE 802.1D, and can operate  
opposite any other third party bridge. Spanning Tree Algorithm is not supported.  
Bridging works over PPP, Frame Relay RFC-1490 and also a ‘Native’ protocol.  
MAC frames pass in an HDLC format.  
Protocols  
FCD-IPM supports:  
PPP (Point to Point Protocol) – this protocol supports a variety of links and  
connection options  
Frame Relay – a network interface, which provides high-speed frame or packet  
transmission with minimum delay and maximum bandwidth utilization.  
Management  
FCD-IPM features a variety of inband and out-of-band management options. These  
options include dedicated time slot, dedicated DLCI, and dial-in connectivity.  
You can manage the following capabilities:  
FCD-IPM configuration  
Viewing FCD-IPM status  
Testing FCD-IPM  
Viewing alarm status and history.  
The management functions are performed via:  
SNMP management – enables management using the RADview or any other  
standard SNMP-based management systems.  
Telnet – enables a remote IP host to control the operation of FCD-IPM using  
functions identical to those provided by a supervision terminal.  
Supervision terminal – an ASCII terminal connected to the RS-232 control port  
of FCD-IPM (or a PC running a terminal emulation program) can be used as a  
supervision terminal.  
Undesired access to FCD-IPM via Telnet or SNMP can be blocked by the firewall,  
or password protected. The dual-level management authentication allows access to  
router configuration parameters while restricting the access to network  
configuration parameters.

FCD-IPM Installation and Operation Manual  
Software download is available via the control port using XMODEM and via  
LAN/WAN using TFTP. Parameter file download and upload is available via LAN or  
WAN using TFTP.  
FCD-IPM has an alarm history memory that holds the up to 100 alarms.  
Management Using Dedicated Time Slot (DTS)  
FCD-IPM features out-of-band management through a dedicated time slot.  
The DTS is a management channel that connects directly to the FCD-IPM host  
using a separate IP interface, i.e. address, and operates as an additional WAN  
interface connected to the management IP network.  
This management channel is totally separated from the IP traffic that the integrated  
router forwards, so there is no way to expose the manager IP network to  
unauthorized IP users.  
The DTS channel should be synchronized with other equipment such as a cross  
connect unit or router. This can be done with standard WAN protocols such as  
Frame Relay and PPP.

Intentional interruption is prohibited.  
BEFORE POWERING UP AN AC POWERED FCD-IPM, the protective earth  
terminals of this instrument must be connected to the protective conductor of  
the (mains) power cord. The mains plug shall only be inserted in a socket  
outlet provided with a protective ground (earth) contact. The protective action  
must not be negated by use of an extension cord (power cable) without a  
protective conductor (grounding).  
Warning  
Make sure that only fuses with the required rated current and of the specified  
type, as marked on the FCD-IPM rear panel, are used for replacement. Use of  
repaired fuses and short-circuiting of fuse holders is forbidden.  
Whenever it is likely that the protection offered by fuses has been impaired,  
the instrument must be made inoperative and be secured against any  
unintended operation.

Protocol  
PPP  
Point to Point Protocol. PPP consists of 3 components:  
Encapsulation method – for IP datagrams on a serial link PPP supports HDLC  
synchronous links.  
LCP – Link control procedure to establish, configure, and test the data-link  
connection. Having an LCP allows each end to negotiate various options.  
NCP(s) – A family of network control protocols specific to different network layer  
protocols. The NCPs allow each end to configure network control parameters.  
PPP is often used across slow serial lines. It is therefore important to reduce the  
number of bytes per frame in order to reduce the latency time. Using LCP, most  
implementations negotiate to omitting the constant address and control fields and  
reducing the size of the protocol fields from 2 bytes to 1 byte. In addition, when  
using IP NCP, most implementations use Van Jacobson header compression to  
reduce the size of IP and TCP headers.  
RFC-1490  
Encapsulation method for carrying network interconnect traffic over a Frame  
Relay backbone. RFC-1490 also supports a simple fragmentation procedure for  
carrying large frames over a frame relay network with a smaller MTU.  
DLCI – Every network interface card (NIC) has a Data Link Communication  
Identifier (DLCI) that uniquely identifies the node on the network. DLCI enables  
connection to the Frame Relay network without configuring Frame Relay  
parameters.  
DLCI executes congestion control when an explicit congestion notification is  
received for the DLCI from the Frame Relay network. The unit reduces the  
transmitted information rate of the DLCI and increases it when the congestion  
condition is cleared.  
Default : PPP  
DLCI Number  
Sets the DLCI identification number.

Note: This parameter appears for the 2-LAN device only.  
LAN IP Address  
Class A  
1.0.0.0 to  
Select this parameter to enter the IP address. Every device on  
a TCP/IP network must have an identification address. The IP  
127.255.255.255, address is a value consisting of the network address and the  
host address on that network. The value assigned to a  
network depends on the number of computers on that  
network.  
Class B  
128.0.0.0 to  
191.255.255.255,  
The IP address is a 32-bit number. The number consists of 4  
Class C  
192.0.0.0 to  
223.255.255.255,  
parts, where each part consists of 3 digits. One part of the  
address identifies the network and another part of the  
address identifies the host. The numbers in the address,  
which identifies the host, depend on the class.  
There are 5 classes of IP addresses. Each class represents a  
network having a certain number of computers. For example,  
a Class C address is given to a network having between 1 to  
255 computers.  
The numbers in each part of the code are translated into  
binary. The binary code identifies the network and the host.  
IP addresses are assigned by the Internet Network  
Information Center (InterNIC). InterNIC assigns the network  
ID. Host IDs are assigned by the network administrator.  
Class D  
224.0.0.0 to  
239.255.255.255  
Class E  
240.0.0.0 to  
247.255.255.255  
LAN IP Mask  
Select this parameter to enter the IP mask. The mask is  
configured automatically from the IP address class. If you want  
to change the default mask, enter a new mask. For example,  
the IP mask is usually 225.225.225.0. A mask like this would  
allow 254 hosts on the LAN. If you want to create a subnet,  
which allows 6 users, including FCD-IPM, configure the mask  
as 225.225.225.248. on FCD-IPM, as well as each host  
included on the subnet (refer to Figure 4-4).

Description  
Protocol (ISDN)  
Assigns the protocol provided by the ISDN service in your  
area. Some additional parameters may be requested  
depending on the selected protocol.  
Bandwidth  
56, 64, 112, 128 kbps Assigns a bandwidth. The bandwidth is the rate at which data  
passes through the link. The greater the bandwidth, the more  
information can be sent through the link. FCD-IPM allows  
you to work with a bandwidth of 56, 64, 112, or 128 kbps.  
Selection of 112 or 128 kbps for protocols other than IDSL  
means MLPPP will be invoked.  
Connection  
Type  
Specifies the type of connection used to connect to the  
Internet or Intranet.  
Answer only  
If the link is to be used only for receiving incoming  
connections  
Answer&Originate

Device Access Restriction  
Parameters listed on this screen allow you to control access to FCD-IPM  
configuration from the control port or from LAN/WAN (via Telnet and SNMP).  
Enabling Telnet Access  
FCD-IPM supports Telnet. This allows FCD-IPM to be configured and controlled  
over the WAN and LAN using TCP/IP.  
Access to Telnet requires authentication by the device, using username and  
password.  
By default, Telnet access to FCD-IPM is disabled to prevent changes being made to  
the unit's configuration parameters.  
To enable Telnet access:  
1. From the Security Setup menu, select option 1, Device Access Restrictions.  
2. From the Device Access Restrictions menu, select option 1, TELNET Access  
Status and change it to Enable.  
3. Select options 2 and 3 to change the User name and Password, if required.  
FCD-IPM can now be accessed using your TELNET username and password.  
Enabling SNMP Access  
By default, access to FCD-IPM via SNMP is disabled. Blocking SNMP access  
prevents changes being made to the unit's configuration parameters.  
To enable SNMP access:  
1. From the Security Setup menu, select option 1, Devise Access Restrictions.  
2. From the Devise Access Restrictions menu, select option 4, SNMP Access  
Status and change it to Enable.  
3. Select options 5, 6, and 7 to change Read, Write and Trap communities, if  
required.  
FCD-IPM can now be accessed for SNMP operation using the appropriate  
communities.

Firewall Option  
Solid Firewall is a rule-based security mechanism, which monitors incoming and  
outgoing traffic and allows or restricts access according to the user-defined criteria  
(rules).  
You can configure the Solid Firewall to monitor incoming or outgoing traffic on any  
WAN and LAN link. The firewall blocks all traffic coming from the unprotected  
network segment to the protected section, and allows traffic from protected to  
unprotected segments. Only those applications that are enabled via the application  
list (e.g. HTTP, FTP, POP3 servers, etc.) are allowed for use. By default, the Solid  
Firewall is disabled.  
To select the Solid Firewall interface and direction:  
1. From the Main menu, select option 2, Security Setup.  
2. From the Security Setup menu, select option 2, Firewall Options.  
The Firewall Setup menu appears (see Figure 4-8).  
3. From the Firewall Setup menu, type 1.  
The Firewall Interface menu appears (see Figure 4-9).  
4. From the Firewall Interface menu, type A and define the link on which you  
intend to set the firewall and traffic type to monitor:  
Inbound – The firewall blocks the traffic coming into FCD-IPM via the link  
on which the firewall is enabled. The firewall forwards the traffic going out  
of the firewall-protected interface to its destination.  
Outbound – The firewall blocks the traffic going out of FCD-IPM via the  
link on which the firewall is enabled. The firewall grants access to the traffic  
coming into FCD-IPM from the network segment attached to the  
firewall-protected interface.

FTP, TFTP, POP3, SMTP, SNMP, SNMP Trap, BOOTP/DHCP, DNS Client  
to Server, or DNS Server to Server).  
If you select a user-defined application, you must specify the following  
parameters:  
Protocol type: TCP, UPD or ICMP  
Minimum and maximum port value for TCP and UDP protocols, or  
ICMP message type for ICMP protocol.  
3. Press <Esc> and save new firewall rule values.  
For example, two LANs are connected to the FCD-IPM 10BaseT ports  
(see Figure 4-7). LAN 1 includes company’s Web, mail and FTP servers, which  
cab be accessed from the outside. Employees’ PCs sitting on LAN 2 must not  
be reached from the outside, but they must be allowed to access the servers.  
In order to grant access to LAN 1 and restrict it to LAN 2, you must set up two  
firewalls:  
Firewall 1  
Select interface – main link  
Select direction – inbound  
Define rule 1 for Web server:  
Start and end source IP address – 0.0.0.0 to 255.255.255.255  
Start and end destination IP address – 192.111.111.111  
Protocol – HTTP.  
Define rule 2 for mail server, which is identical to rule 1, except for  
destination IP addresses (192.111.111.112) and protocol (SMTP).  
Define rule 3 for FTP server, which is identical to rule 1, except for  
destination IP addresses (192.111.111.113) and protocol (FTP).  
Firewall 2

E1/T1 Diagnostics  
Select this option to display error information for the E1/T1 link. This information  
enables you to evaluate the line quality. The errors are accumulated in 15-minute  
intervals. FCD-IPM keeps up to 96 intervals (for 24 hours).  
In addition, there is a rolling 24 hour total of each error parameter. The rolling  
total is displayed for the interval parameter called TOTAL. The interval parameter  
called CURRENT is the open interval, which did not yet reach 15 minutes. The  
errors counted in the CURRENT interval are not included in the TOTAL interval.  
The amount of time that has elapsed is displayed on the right of the CURRENT  
parameter line. T1 diagnostics are available only when frame mode is ESF. E1  
diagnostics are available only when CRC-4 is enabled.

Description  
Parameters  
Current Errored Seconds (ES) An errored second is any second containing one or more CRC error  
events, one or more OOF events, or one or more controlled slip  
events.  
Unavailable Seconds Out-Of- An unavailable second out-of-frame is any second in which a failed  
Frame (UAS)  
signal state exists. A failed signal state is declared when 10 consecutive  
severely errored seconds (SES) occur, and is cleared after 10  
consecutive seconds of data are processed without a SES.  
Severely Errored Seconds  
(SES)  
A SES is a second with 832 or more CRC error events, or one or more  
OOF events.  
Bursty Errored Seconds Out-  
Of-Frame (BES)  
A BES is a second with 2 to 831 CRC error events.  
Current Loss of Frame  
Counter (LOFC)  
The loss of frame (LOF) counter counts the loss of frame alignment  
events.  
Current Slip Second Counter A CSS is a second with one or more controlled slip events.  
(CSS)  
Degraded Minutes (DM)  
The total number of degraded minutes in the current 24-hour interval.  
A degraded minute is a minute in which the bit error rate (BER)  
exceeded 1x10-6. This number is updated every minute.

Table 5-2. IP Host Parameters  
Parameters  
Possible Values  
Description  
IP Address  
Class A  
1.0.0.0 to 127.255.255.255,  
Every device on a TCP/IP network must have an address  
for identification. The IP address is a value consisting of  
the network address and the host address on that  
network. The value assigned to a network depends on  
the number of computers on that network.  
The IP address is a 32-bit number. The number is made  
up of 4 parts, with each part consisting of 3 digits. One  
part of the address identifies the network and another  
part of the address identifies the host. The numbers in  
the address, which identify the host, are dependent on  
the class.  
Class B  
128.0.0.0 to 191.255.255.255,  
Class C  
192.0.0.0 to 223.255.255.255,  
Class D  
224.0.0.0 to 239.255.255.255,  
Class E  
240.0.0.0 to 247.255.255.255  
There are 5 classes of IP addresses. Each class represents  
a network having a certain number of computers. For  
example, a Class C address is given to a network having  
between 1 to 255 computers.  
The numbers in each part of the code are translated  
into binary code, which identifies the network and the  
host.  
IP addresses are assigned by the Internet Network  
Information Center (InterNIC). InterNIC assigns the  
network ID. Host IDs are assigned by the network  
administrator.  
IP Mask  
Default IP mask for Class A  
255.0.0.0  
A subnet is a portion of a network that shares a  
common address component. On TCP/IP networks,  
subnets are defined as all devices whose IP addresses  
have the same prefix. For example, all devices whose IP  
addresses begin with 133.100.100. are part of the same  
subnet. An IP mask allows you to filter IP addresses on a  
subnet. When an IP address is configured, the IP mask is  
automatically configured according to the Class of the IP  
Network.  
Default IP mask for Class B  
255.255.0.0  
Default IP mask for Class C  
255.255.255.0  
Default IP mask for Class D  
255.255.255.225  
Note: The default IP mask can be edited.  
Default Gateway  
The default gateway defines where frames will be sent,  
if no explicit routing is defined in the routing table.  
The default gateway can be an IP address or a WAN  
interface. If you choose to use an IP address, enter the  
address of the router that will deliver the frames.  
Specifying an IP address for the default gateway is done  
with shared media, such as LAN interface.  
If you choose to use a WAN interface, the connection  
to the router is point-to-point. Choose by interface and  
enter the interface/DLCI number.

Management Protocol (SNMP) manager IP address is the IP of the management  
station, which the traps are sent to (NMS). To send traps to that NMS, set the mask  
parameter to YES.  
SNMP is an application-layer protocol designed to facilitate the exchange of  
management information between network devices. By using SNMP to access  
management information data (such as packets per second and network error  
rates), network administrators can more easily manage network performance and  
find and solve network problems.

The RADIUS (Remote Authentication Dial-In User Service) is a client/server  
security protocol. Security information is stored in a central location, known as the  
RADIUS server. RADIUS clients, such as FCD-IPM, communicate with the RADIUS  
server to authenticate users. Although the term RADIUS refers to the network  
protocol that the client and server use to communicate, it is often used to refer to  
the entire client/server system.  
The three main functions of RADIUS are:  
Authentication  
Authorization  
Accounting.  
To perform these functions, you must configure the parameters described in

CSLIP  
Link Cost/Metric  
Assigns a cost to each WAN link for routing purposes. This  
parameter affects FCD-IPM’s operation of the corresponding  
interface configured to use RIP routing protocol.  
Each routing entry is accompanied by a metric, which is the  
number of routers through which a packet must go to get to its  
destination.  
Before updating routing tables, FCD-IPM adds link cost value to  
all routing metrics received from this link; this may affect further  
routing decisions.  
A router will automatically send packets using the lowest possible  
metric. If a router is not functioning, FCD-IPM will send the  
packets through an interface with a higher metric.

IP Compression  
Activates Van Jacobson TCP Header Compression on a specified link.  
PPP is often used on slow bandwidth links, such as modems. To make  
the transmission faster, certain parts of the data packets can be  
compressed.  
In Van Jacobson TCP Header Compression the TCP/IP packet header is  
compressed according to RRC 1144. Other protocols running over IP  
(for example, UDP, ICMP) are not affected by using Van Jacobson  
compression. Since PPP is used for point to point transmissions, both  
the local and remote devices must have Van Jacobson TCP Header  
Compression enabled for compression to be performed. To verify that  
Van Jacobson TCP Header Compression is being performed, open the  
Interface Connections Screen  
Multilink  
Determines if a line supports multilink PPP (RFC 1990 compliant).  
The line does not support multilink PPP  
Disabled  
Enabled  
BOD  
The line supports multilink PPP  
The line enables multilink PPP with Bandwidth-on-Demand support  
(for ISDN line only).  
Permitting multilink PPP means that two neighboring links (or two  
ISDN B-channels) will work as a single logical channel, thereby  
increasing the total link bandwidth. If you select Permanent, then both  
links will be connected simultaneously, independent of bandwidth  
utilization. Using BOD permits you to be connected most of the time  
with only one B-channel and to be connected with the second channel  
for small periods of high bandwidth utilization. This method reduces  
connection costs.  
If you choose BOD, then configure the following parameters:  
Sensibility Direction and Sensibility Timeout.  
BOD Sensibility  
Direction  
Transmit,  
Receive, Both  
Defines the traffic direction to be counted in determining whether to  
connect the second line.  
BOD Sensibility

can be defined in 4 ways (see Table 5-7).  
Table 5-7. Static Stations and Nets  
Parameters  
Description  
MAC Station  
MAC Station defines a single static entry in the Bridge routing table. The entry is a single  
MAC Address (6 bytes) entered in hexadecimal format.  
IP Net  
IP Net defines a network as the destination. IP Net consists of 3 parts:  
Destination – defined by entering the subnet IP address and IP mask.  
For example, 192.168.182.32 is a subnet IP address and 255.255.255.240 is the IP  
mask.  
Frame pathway – specified either as an interface (i.e. port) number or as Next Hop IP  
address. In Next Hop IP the frames are sent to another router; from there they will be  
sent to their final destination (see Figure 5-16).  
Cost – used only for advertising via routing protocols.  
The values are 1 to 15.

Chapter 5 Setup Menu  
Routing Protocol  
This parameter sets the type of routing advertisement protocol to be used for each  
FCD-IPM interface (LANs and WANs).  
If FCD-IPM is configured as a RIP router, it sends/receives information from its  
routing table to/from corresponding router(s), learning its environment  
dynamically.  
Table 5-8. Routing Protocol Settings  
Values  
RIP1  
Description  
Sends and receives routing information about IP nets only  
Sends and receives full routing information, including subnets  
RIP2  
RIP1+2  
Sends information as for RIP2 (full routing information, including  
subnets), and receive both RIP1 and RIP2 (routing information about IP  
nets only)  
OSPF  
None  
Uses Open Shortest Path First protocol  
FCD-IPM will not negotiate routing information with neighboring  
routers  
Maximum Transmit Unit  
This parameter sets the maximum transmit unit (MTU) for IP fragmentation. Set the  
MTU for each interface (LANs and WANs). If a frame is larger than the MTU, it will  
be fragmented into smaller units, while it is sent through the specified interface.  
DHCP Relay  
This parameter enables transmission of DHCP requests to specified IP addresses  
via WAN and LAN links.  
IP Address Pool Setting (DHCP)  
This parameter determines the option for how FCD-IPM assigns IP addresses  
dynamically to connected workstations. FCD-IPM uses one of the following  
mechanisms to assign IP addresses dynamically to workstations:  
Table 5-9. IP Address Pool Setting (DHCP)  
Values  
Description  
IPCP  
Negotiations  
This is a mechanism where the remote router or a workstation  
connected to FCD-IPM via a link requests an IP address. This request is  
made by specifying zero for the IP address in the IPCP configure  
request (PPP).  
BOOTP  
This is a method where another router or workstation sends an  
affirmation for an IP address. FCD-IPM uses BOOTP to confirm the IP  
address by sending a BOOTP reply packet via a link or LAN. FCD-IPM  
using BOOTP supports basic options only.

Chapter 5 Setup Menu  
FCD-IPM Installation and Operation Manual  
Table 5-9. IP Address Pool Setting (DHCP) (Cont.)  
Values  
DHCP  
Description  
This protocol is an extension to BOOTP and permits FCD-IPM to  
supply not only an IP address but also additional parameters, such as  
Default Gateway, DNS server addresses etc. FCD-IPM supplies these  
parameters to the client's workstation. In contrast to BOOTP, DHCP  
supplies these parameters on a temporary basis. FCD-IPM using DHCP  
checks on the workstation periodically. If the workstation is not using  
the IP address, the IP address can be supplied to other workstations  
later.  
FCD-IPM supports all these mechanisms simultaneously.  
IP Address Pool  
Select this option to define IP address information.  
IP ADDRESS POOL (Device name FCD-IPM)

Authentication  
(only relevant to  
Link with PPP  
Protocol)  
PPP supports two types of security systems:  
CHAP (Challenge  
Handshake  
Authentication  
CHAP is a type of authentication in which the authentication agent  
(typically a network server) sends the client program a key to be used  
to encrypt the username and password. This enables the username and  
password to be transmitted in an encrypted form to protect them  
against hackers.  
Protocol)  
PAP (Password  
Authentication  
Protocol)  
PAP is the most basic form of authentication, in which a user's name  
and password are transmitted over a network and compared to a table  
of name-password pairs. Typically, the passwords stored in the table  
are encrypted. The main weakness of PAP is that both the username  
and password are transmitted in an unencrypted form.  
Accessible

FCD-IPM script is a sequence of commands, with a maximum of 20 commands in  
the script. As soon as a physical connection to the remote host is achieved (and the  
script is enabled), FCD-IPM begins to forward the script. Script processing finishes  
when the last script command has been forwarded.  
FCD-IPM script comprises one or more command lines. Each command line  
consists of a Command Code followed by an Argument.  
Command Code  
The command codes are described in Table 5-28.  
Table 5-28. Command Codes  
Command Code  
Description  
waitcase pattern  
Waits until the specified case-sensitive pattern is received from the remote host and  
forwards the next command. The maximum pattern length is 24 characters.  
Or, waits until timeout (default = 15 seconds). The link then disconnects and  
FCD-IPM performs the same actions as required during authentication failure.  
waitnocase pattern  
Same as waitcase pattern except not case sensitive.  
send pattern  
Transmits specified pattern to remote host. The pattern can contain any recognized  
control symbols. The maximum pattern length is 24 characters.  
sendhide pattern  
As above. However, the pattern is displayed on the screen as asterisks. The control  
symbol is displayed as two asterisks when editing and as one when viewing.  
timeout number  
Changes the timeout for waitcase, waitnocase and getip commands. The number is  
the timeout value, in seconds. This value can be any number from 1 to 99 and will be  
used until the next timeout command.  
delay number  
The delay in seconds between sending commands. All symbols received during this  
time will be ignored. This value can be any number from 1 to 99.  
getip number  
This command waits for an IP address from the remote host. If the remote host  
returns several IP addresses in a string, the number specified by this command will  
determine which IP address should be used.  
If an IP address is received successfully from the host, and the Single IP feature is  
enabled, the IP address will be used on FCD-IPM WAN interface. If an IP address is  
not received successfully within the specified timeout period, the link disconnects.

Quick Filters  
Advanced Filters.  
Quick Filters are used to regulate specific protocols:  
IP  
IPX

Figure 5-87. Action of an Advanced Filter  
There are two modes through which filtering can be implemented: blocking and  
forwarding.  
Blocking  
The block command causes FCD-IPM to test every packet of data that is sent to or  
from the LAN. If the packet passes the test, passage is denied.  
Example:  
You want to ensure that IP/UDP packets do not go on to the link in the direction  
of the Internet/Intranet. Thus, you design a filter, which tests each packet to see if  
it is an IP/UDP packet. If the packet tests positive, it is automatically blocked.  
Forwarding  
The forward command works in the same way as the block command. However,  
with forwarding, if the packet passes the test, the packet is allowed to pass to or  
from the LAN.  
Example:  
To allow a certain user on the Small Office LAN to access the Internet for FTP  
purposes, create a filter to test each packet for the IP host address of the specified  
user and the FTP socket of the packet. If the packet passes the test, the packet is  
forwarded to the Internet/Intranet.  
Multiple Filters  
Up to 18 filters can be defined. If there are 2 filters that have contradictory  
operations, forwarding takes precedence over blocking.  
Example:  
You want to allow only one particular user on the Small Office LAN to access the  
Internet for FTP purposes. To insure that no one else is able to access the Internet,  
create a blocking filter for all traffic going to the link. To do this, from the Blocking  
and Forwarding menu enter Block all traffic for Link1. In addition, create a filter to  
test each packet for the IP host address of the specified user and the FTP socket of  
the packet. Since forwarding takes precedence over blocking, that user's frames are  
forwarded.

Definition of Filter Tests  
You need to define the filter test which will be applied to every packet that is  
transmitted. Use any combination of the following parameters to define the filter  
test:  
Protocol  
Operation (block, forward, etc.)  
Interface (LAN, Link)  
Destination and/or source IP address of the packet  
Destination and/or source MAC address of the packet (layer 2)  
IP socket (upper and lower level)  
IP packet type (broadcast, multicast).  
Note  
Up to 18 filters can be defined. To avoid reducing FCD-IPM performance, minimize  
the number of active filters.  
Defining Filters  
Filters can be defined through the control port, TELNET or SNMP. First decide on  
the mode and conditions for a filter, then follow the instructions below to set filter  
parameters.  
Note  
Remember that forwarding takes precedence over blocking. If there is a  
combination of filters which contain both operations, the frame will be forwarded.

Toggle to the required low level protocol for the filter. If  
the port number is defined in decimal format, specify the  
low level protocol as UTP or TCP. If no port number is  
defined, specify the low level protocol as UTP, TCP, or  
ICMP. Choose True or False.  
Low Level (IPX  
protocol)  
Toggle to the required low level protocol for the filter. If a  
socket is defined in the destination address, a low level  
protocol or socket number may not be specified.  
Conversely, if a socket address or low level is not defined,  
a socket number may be specified.  
Mask  
A mask is a test pattern that is used to allow certain frame  
patterns only. You define a code against which the frame  
is compared.  
To create a mask, toggle to Yes. Three pairs of codes and  
offsets must be created. The offset defines the point in the  
frame at which the comparison is made.  
For example, an offset of 8 means that the 8th byte is  
compared to the code. The offset can be from the 7th byte  
onwards.  
The frame is made of 3 different portions:  
MAC - is at the beginning of the frame  
LLC - is after the source address in the frame  
DATA - is after the LLC section in the frame.  
For each code-offset pair, select the code format:  
Binary - specify 48 address bits to be either 0,1, or X  
(unspecified)  
Hexadecimal - specify 12 hex digits to be 0-F or X  
(unspecified).  
For each code-offset pair, choose True or False.  
Every frame, at the designated offsets, is compared to the  
three codes in the mask. If all three codes and the  
True-False condition match the code written in the frame,  
the frame passes.  
Note: Only one mask can be defined.  
Status  
Active  
The filter is in use.  
Not Active  
Allows you to define filters which can be stored and used  
at a later time.  
Saving Filter Parameters  
All filters are stored in the Flash Memory, thereby preserving them if the power  
goes down. When filtering is selected, all of the filters are copied into the RAM.  
The RAM copy is then used to activate the software filtering process. Any filter  
which is modified, (by clearing all, deleting one, or changing a parameter) goes  
into effect immediately. The previous filter also remains in effect until the system is  
rebooted.

To save money, you may want to limit the time that a link is kept open. COD  
allows you to determine the traffic conditions that open and close the link. Using  
COD, a line is opened only when traffic conditions fulfill specified conditions.  
When there is no need for a connection, the line is automatically terminated.  
COD is only effective if:  
The line is connected to a modem or ISDN (a dialup link)  
The link is asynchronous  
The connection type is Originate or Answer&Originate.  
If the connection type is Answer only, the line connection is started when the unit  
is turned on in order to receive calls. If the connection type is Originate only or  
Answer&Originate the connection starts when a telephone number is defined.

The line is terminated after a specified time passes without a frame  
passing through the line. You specify the time in which a frame  
must pass. The default is 60 seconds  
Upon Time Out  
The line is terminated after a fixed period of time regardless of the  
traffic. The default is 60 seconds  
No Specific Frame

A.6 Fiber Optic Interface  
FCD-IPM equipped with a fiber optic main link can be used to provide a secure  
link in hazardous or hostile environments, increase the maximum connection  
range, and achieve immunity against electrical interference and protection against  
the deleterious effects of ground loops.  
The fiber optic main link interface is terminated in two ST, FC/PC or SC  
connectors, in accordance with order. Table A-5 lists the various available fiber  
optic interface types and their main specifications (Maximum ranges are calculated  
assuming a 3 dB margin).

All the fiber optic interface options offer high performance and have a wide  
dynamic range. This ensures that the receiver will not saturate even when using  
short fiber optic cables (saturation is caused when the optical power applied to the  
receiver exceeds its maximum allowed input power, and results in very high bit  
error rates).

Appendix B  
Boot Manager  
This appendix describes the various options of the Boot Manager.  
B.1 Preface  
FCD-IPM includes a Dual Image Flash, capable of storing two different versions of  
software in two different partitions.  
Upon reset, FCD-IPM automatically runs the program stored in the active  
partition.  
New software versions are loaded into the backup partition. If loading succeeds,  
the backup partition becomes the active partition and FCD-IPM is reset  
automatically, running the new software version. If loading fails, the device is still  
capable of working, since the Flash partition storing the old version remains active.  
The Boot Manager can control dual Image Flash. Use the Boot Manager to:  
Download new software  
Manually define the active and backup partitions  
Run the backup partition  
Erase some or all information from Flash.  
B.2 Accessing Boot Manager  
There are several ways to access Boot Manager:  
Via option 2 in the Software Download menu  
Via the “Rescue” option.  
Access via Software Download Menu  
To access Boot manager via Software Download menu:  
1. In the Advanced Menu, press 3. The Device Control menu appears.  
2. Press 1. The Software Download menu appears.  
3. Press 2 to display the Boot Manager menu.

Load New Software  
Select this option to download new software via the control port using the  
XMODEM protocol. During the download process, the new program code is  
downloaded to the Flash backup partition, thus erasing its previous contents.  
Upon completion, the newly downloaded Flash partition becomes the active  
partition, while the old version’s partition becomes the backup partition. The  
device automatically resets, running the new program stored in the active  
partition. Figure B-2 shows a dual image flash.

Run Backup Partition  
Select this option to run the program stored in the backup partition of the Flash  
memory. Normally that program is the previous software version.  
The “backup” program runs once. The next hardware reset or Boot will run the  
program stored in the active partition.  
Reactivate Backup Partition  
Select this option to turn the backup partition into the active partition (and vice  
versa). In this way you can return to the previous software version permanently.

Appendix C  
SNMP Management  
This appendix provides the specific information required for managing FCD-IPM  
with the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP).  
C.1 SNMP Environment  
This section describes the SNMP environment.  
The SNMP management functions of the FCD-IPM are provided by an internal  
SNMP agent, which can use in-band and out-of-band communication.  
The SNMP management communication uses the User Datagram Protocol (UDP).  
UDP is a connectionless-mode transport protocol, part of the suite of protocols of  
the Internet Protocol (IP).  
This section covers the information related to the SNMP environment.  
SNMP Principles  
The SNMP management protocol is an asynchronous command/response polling  
protocol. All of the management traffic is initiated by the SNMP-based network  
management station, which addresses the managed entities in its management  
domain. Only the addressed managed entity answers the polling of the  
management station, except for trap messages.  
The managed entities include a function called an “SNMP agent”, which is  
responsible for interpretation and handling of the management station requests to  
the managed entity, and the generation of properly-formatted responses to the  
management station.  
SNMP Operations  
The SNMP protocol includes four types of operations:  
getRequest – Command for retrieving specific management information from  
the managed entity. The managed entity responds with a getResponse  
message.  
getNextRequest – Command for retrieving sequentially specific management  
information from the managed entity. The managed entity responds with a  
getResponse message.  
setRequest – Command for manipulating specific management information  
within the managed entity. The managed entity responds with a getResponse  
message.  
trap – Management message carrying unsolicited information on extraordinary  
events (that is, events which occurred not in response to a management  
operation) reported by the managed entity.

FCD-IPM Installation and Operation Manual  
The Management Information Base  
The management information base (MIB) includes a collection of managed  
objects. A managed object is defined as a parameter that can be managed, such as  
a performance statistics value.  
The MIB includes the definitions of relevant managed objects. Various MIBs can  
be defined for various management purposes, types of equipment, etc.  
An object's definition includes the range of values (also called “instances”) and the  
“access” rights:  
Read-only - Instances of that object can be read, but cannot be set  
Read-write - Instances of that object can be read or set  
Write-only - Instances of that object can be set, but cannot be read  
Not accessible - Instances of that object cannot be read, nor set.  
MIB Structure  
The MIB has an inverted tree-like structure, with each definition of a managed  
object forming one leaf, located at the end of a branch of that tree. Each “leaf” in  
the MIB is reached by a unique path. By numbering the branching points from the  
top down, each leaf can be uniquely defined by a sequence of numbers. The  
formal description of the managed objects and the MIB structure is provided in a  
special standardized format, called Abstract Syntax Notation 1 (ASN.1).  
Since the general collection of MIBs can also be organized in a similar structure,  
under the supervision of the Internet Activities Board (IAB), any parameter  
included in a MIB that is recognized by the IAB is uniquely defined.  
MIBs are classified in various classes (branches): the experimental branch, and the  
group of private (enterprise-specific) branch. This is to provide the flexibility  
necessary in a global structure. Under the private enterprise-specific branch of  
MIBs, each enterprise (manufacturer) can be assigned a number, which is its  
enterprise number. The assigned number designates the top of an enterprise-  
specific sub-tree of non-standard MIBs. Within this context, RAD has been  
assigned the enterprise number 164. Therefore, enterprise MIBs published by RAD  
can be found under 1.3.6.1.4.1.164.  
MIBs of general interest are published by the IAB in the form of a Request for  
Comment (RFC) document. In addition, MIBs are also often assigned informal  
names that reflect their primary purpose. Enterprise-specific MIBs are published  
and distributed by their originator, which is responsible for their contents.

MIBs Supported by the FCD-IPM SNMP Agent  
The interpretation of the relevant MIBs is a function of the SNMP agent of each  
managed entity. The general MIBs supported by the SNMP agent are as follows:  
RFC1213  
RFC1215  
RFC1231  
RFC1659 – RS-232  
RFC1398 – Ethernet (dot3)  
RFC1406 – DS1  
RFC1471 – PPP  
RFC1473 – PPP-IP-Group  
RFC1724 – RIP  
RFC2011  
RFC2096 – IP-FORWARD

RFC2233 – IfMIB  
RFC2127 – ISDN  
RFC2128 – ISDN  
RFC2115 – FR  
RFC3276 – SHDSL  
RAD private MIB.  
In addition, the FCD-IPM SNMP agent supports the RAD-private (enterprise-  
specific) MIB identified as (read the following as a continuous string):  
Iso(0).org(3).dod(6).internet(1).private(4).enterprises(1).  
rad(164)  
Enterprise-specific MIBs supported by RAD equipment, including those for  
FCD-IPM, are available in ASN.1 format from the RAD Technical Support  
Department.  
Management Domains Under SNMP  
SNMP enables, in principle, each management station that knows the MIBs  
supported by a device to perform all the management operations available on that  
device. However, this is not desirable in practical situations, so it is necessary to  
provide a means to delimit management domains.  
SNMP Communities  
To enable the delimitation of management domains, SNMP uses “communities”.  
Each community is identified by a name, which is an alphanumeric string of up to  
255 characters defined by the user.  
Any SNMP entity (this term includes both managed entities and management  
stations) is assigned by its user a community name. In parallel, the user defines for  
each SNMP entity a list of the communities which are authorized to communicate

Appendix C SNMP Management  
FCD-IPM Installation and Operation Manual  
with it, and the access rights associated with each community (this is the SNMP  
community name table of the entity).  
In general, SNMP agents support two types of access rights:  
Read-only the SNMP agent accepts and processes only SNMP getRequest  
and getNextRequest commands from management stations which have a  
read-only community name.  
Read-write the SNMP agent accepts and processes all the SNMP commands  
received from a management station with a read-write community name.  
SNMP agents are usually configured to send traps to management stations  
having read-write communities.  
Authentication  
In accordance with the SNMP protocol, the SNMP community of the originating  
entity is sent in each message.  
When an SNMP message is received by the addressed entity, first it checks the  
originator's community: messages with community names not included in the  
SNMP community names table of the recipient are discarded (SNMP agents of  
managed entities usually report this event by means of an authentication failure  
trap).  
The SNMP agents of managed entities evaluate messages originated by  
communities appearing in the agent's SNMP Community Names table in  
accordance with the access rights, as explained above. Thus a setRequest for an  
MIB object with read-write access rights will nevertheless be rejected if it comes  
from a management station whose community has read-only rights with respect to  
that particular agent.

Glossary  
10BaseT - 10BaseT is a LAN protocol that allows stations to be attached via  
twisted pair cable.  
ARP (Address Resolution Protocol) - ARP is a method for finding a host's Ethernet  
address from its Internet address. The sender broadcasts an ARP packet containing  
the Internet address of another host and waits for the second host to send back its  
Ethernet address.  
ARP is defined in RFC 826.  
Bandwidth - Bandwidth is the rate at which data passes through the link. The  
greater the bandwidth, the more information can be sent through the link at a  
particular time.  
Bridging - Bridging is the forwarding of traffic between network segments based  
on data link layer information. These segments have a common network layer  
address.  
Broadcast - Broadcast is a transmission to multiple, unspecified recipients. On an  
Ethernet network, a broadcast packet is a special type of multicast packet which all  
nodes on the network are always willing to receive.  
Default Gateway - Default Gateway is a routing table entry that is used to direct  
packets addressed to hosts or networks not explicitly listed in the routing table.  
DHCP - The Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) provides a framework  
for passing configuration information to hosts on a TCP/IP network.  
DLCI (Data Link Control Identifier) - DLCI is a channel number that is attached  
to data frames to tell the network how to route the data in Frame Relay Networks.  
DNS (Domain Name System) - DNS is a general-purpose distributed, replicated,  
data query service chiefly used on Internet for translating hostnames into Internet  
IP addresses.  
DNS is defined in STD 13, RFCs 1034 and 1035.  
Dynamic Station - A dynamic station is a host that is added automatically to an  
ARP or LAN table.  
E1/T1 - E1/T1 services provide high-speed connections. E1/T1 supports Frame  
Relay, PPP and HDLC, providing the flexibility to support high-performance point-  
to-point or point-to-multipoint topologies.  
Firewall - A firewall system controls access to or from a protected network (i.e., a  
site). It implements a network access policy by forcing connections to pass through  
the firewall, where they can be examined and evaluated.  
Frame Relay - Frame Relay is a packet-switching protocol for connecting devices  
on a WAN. Frame Relay networks support data rates up to 1.544Mbps.

FCD-IPM Installation and Operation Manual  
I/O - Data Channel Interfaces that can be operated as n x 64k or n x 56k data port  
(DCE only).  
IP Address - The IP Address is a 32-bit host address. It is usually represented in  
dotted decimal notation, e.g. 128.121.4.5. The address can be split into a network  
number (or network address) and a host number unique to each host on the  
network and sometimes also a subnet address.  
IP Address is defined in RFC 791.  
IP Mask - The IP mask is a unique 4 byte (32 bit) value that allow the recipient of  
IP packets to distinguish between different host IDs.  
IP/IPX Routing - IP/IPX Routing is the process, performed by a router, of selecting  
the correct interface and next hop for a packet being forwarded. Routing is done  
in order to send a packet to a specific destination.  
IPX (Internetwork Packet Exchange) - IPX is a network layer protocol used in  
Novell NetWare file server operating system.  
A router with IPX routing can interconnect LANs so that Netware clients and  
servers can communicate.  
Leased Lines - A leased line is a private telephone circuit permanently connecting  
two points, normally provided on a lease by a local PTT.  
MAC (Media Access Control) - MAC is the lower sublayer of the data link layer.  
MAC is the interface between a node's Logical Link Control and the network's  
physical layer. The MAC differs for various physical media.  
MAC Address - The MAC Address is the hardware address of a device connected  
to a shared network medium.  
Mask - A mask is a filtering aid that is used to define classes of addresses. By  
defining classes, any packet can be judged as to whether it should pass the filter or  
not.  
MTU (Maximum Transmit Unit) - The Maximum Transmission Unit is the largest  
frame length which may be sent on a physical medium.  
MultiCast - MultiCast is an Ethernet addressing scheme used to send packets to  
devices of a certain type or for broadcasting to all nodes.  
NAT – Network Address Translation converts source/destination IP/UDP ports  
according to management configurations. Address translation allows hosts in a  
private network and vice versa. NAT is implemented by modifying end node  
addresses en-route and maintaining a state for these updates so that datagrams  
pertaining to a session are routed to the right end-node in either realm.  
This solution only works when the applications do not use the IP addresses as part  
of the protocol itself. Even if the NAT includes a mechanism for changing the  
upper layer protocols IP, encrypted frames will fail in the NAT.  
NCP (NetWare Core Protocol) - NCP is a Novell trademark for the protocol used  
to access Novell NetWare file and print service functions. NCP uses an underlying  
IPX or IP transport protocol.

Appendix D Glossary  
NetBEUI (NetBIOS Extended User Interface) - NetBEUI is the network transport  
protocol used by all of Microsoft network systems and IBM LAN Server based  
systems.  
Parity - Parity is an extra bit added to a byte or word to reveal errors in storage (in  
RAM or disk) or transmission. Even/odd parity means that the parity bit is set so  
that there are an even/odd number of one bits in the word, including the parity  
bit. Odd parity means that the parity bit is set so that there are an odd number of  
one bits in the word, including the parity bit.  
PPP (Point to Point Protocol) - PPP is the protocol defined in RFC 1661, the  
Internet standard for transmitting network layer datagrams (e.g., IP packets) over  
serial point-to-point links.  
PPP is designed to operate both over asynchronous connections and bit-oriented  
synchronous systems, it can configure connections to a remote network  
dynamically, and test that the link is usable. PPP can be configured to encapsulate  
different network layer protocols (such as IP, IPX, or AppleTalk) by using the  
appropriate network.  
Protocol - A protocol is a set of formal rules describing how to transmit data across  
a network. Low level protocols define the electrical and physical standards to be  
observed, bit- and byte-ordering, and the transmission, error detection and  
correction of the bit stream. High level protocols deal with the data formatting,  
including the syntax of messages, the terminal to computer dialogue, character  
sets, sequencing of messages, etc.  
PSTN (Public Switched Telephone Network) - PSTN is the collection of  
interconnected systems operated by the various telephone companies and  
administrations (PTTs) around the world.  
RFC (Request for Comment) - RFC is a numbered Internet informational  
documents and standards widely followed by commercial software and freeware  
in the Internet and UNIX communities.  
RIP (Routing Information Protocol) - RIP is the companion protocol to IPX for  
exchange of routing information in a Novell network. It is not related to the  
Internet protocol of the same name.  
SAP - SAP is the OSI term for the component of a network address that identifies  
the individual application on a host which is sending or receiving a packet.  
SHDSL is an international standard for symmetric DSL, developed by the ITU  
(G.991.2). It provides for sending and receiving high-speed symmetrical data  
streams over a single pair of copper wire, at rates between 192 kbps and  
2.31 Mbps. SHDSL incorporates features of other DSL technologies, such as ADSL,  
SDSL, and will transport T1, E1, ATM, and IP signals.  
SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) - SNMP is the Internet standard  
protocol, defined in STD 15, RFC 1157, developed to manage nodes on an IP  
network.  
SOCKS - SOCKS is a security package that allows a host behind a firewall to use  
Finger, FTP, Telnet, Gopher, and Mosaic to access resources outside the firewall  
while maintaining the security requirements.

FCD-IPM Installation and Operation Manual  
Spoofing - Spoofing is a technique used to reduce network overhead, especially in  
a WAN. Some network protocols send frequent packets for management  
purposes. These can be routing updates or keep-alive messages. In a WAN this can  
introduce significant overhead, due to the typically smaller bandwidth of WAN  
connections.  
Spoofing reduces the required bandwidth by having devices, such as bridges or  
routers, answer for the remote devices. This fools (spoofs) the LAN device into  
thinking the remote LAN is still connected, even though it's not. The spoofing saves  
the WAN bandwidth, because no packet is ever sent out on the WAN.  
SPX (Sequenced Packet Exchange) - SPX is a transport layer protocol built on top  
of IPX. SPX is used in Novell NetWare systems for communications in client/server  
application programs, e.g., BTRIEVE (ISAM manager).  
Static Station - A static station is a host, which is added manually to an ARP or  
LAN table.  
Stop Bit - Stop Bits mark the end of a unit of transmission (normally a byte or  
character). In serial communications, where each bit of the message is transmitted  
in sequence, stop bits are extra "1" bits which follow the data and any parity bit.  
Synchronous Transmission - Synchronous transmission is when data bits are  
transmitted at a fixed rate. The sender and the receiver are synchronized.  
TCP (Transmission Control Protocol) - TCP is the most common transport layer  
protocol used on Ethernet and the Internet.  
TCP is built on top of Internet Protocol (IP) and is nearly always seen in the  
combination TCP/IP (TCP over IP). It adds reliable communication, flow-control,  
multiplexing and connection-oriented communication. It provides full-duplex,  
process-to-process connections.  
TCP is defined in STD 7, RFC 793.  
TCP/IP stack (Transmission Control Protocol over Internet Protocol) -TCP/IP  
stack is the standard Ethernet protocols incorporated into 4.2BSD UNIX. While  
TCP and IP specify two protocols at specific layers, TCP/IP is often used to refer to  
the entire DoD protocol suite based upon these, including Telnet, FTP, UDP and  
RDP.  
TFTP (Trivial File Transfer Protocol ) - TFTP is a simple file transfer protocol used  
for down-loading boot code to diskless workstations.  
Throughput - Throughput is the amount of data a communications channel can  
carry, usually in bytes per second.  
UDP (User Datagram Protocol) - UDP is an Internet standard network layer,  
transport layer and session layer protocols which provide simple but unreliable  
datagram services. It adds a checksum and additional process-to-process  
addressing information. UDP is a connectionless protocol which, like TCP, is  
layered on top of IP.  
UDP is defined in STD 6, RFC 768.  
WAN (Wide Area Network) - A WAN is a network, usually constructed with serial  
lines, extending over distances greater than one kilometer.
