Introduction to the 10-100 Ethernet - DES I/0 Card 1 Introduction to the 10-100 Ethernet - DES I/0 Card The 10-100 Ethernet - DES Input/Output Processor card, as part of the IntraPort Carrier (IPC) VPN Access Server, can support up to 5,000 simultaneous client connections. This section of the manual contains information specific to the 10-100 Ethernet - DES I/0.
Chapter 1 - Network Installation 2 Chapter 1 - Network Installation Figure 1. 10-100 Ethernet - DES I/O Card Front Panel This section of the manual will help you connect the IntraPort Carrier’s 10-100 Ethernet - DES I/O card to your Ethernet network and a management console. In summary, the steps for installation are: 1. After mounting the server or placing on a desktop, make sure it is not connected to any power source. 2. Connect the server to the Ethernet network. 3.
Chapter 1 - Network Installation 3 Connecting a Management Console To connect a management console, use the supplied cable and connect to the Console interface on the 10-100 Ethernet - DES I/O card. You can use a dumb terminal or a computer equipped with VT100 terminal emulation. The default settings for the Console interface are VT100 terminal emulation, 9600 bps, 8 bits, no parity, 1 stop bit and no Flow Control. v Note: The 10-100 Ethernet - DES I/O card also has an AUX interface.
Chapter 2 - Basic Configuration Guide 4 Chapter 2 - Basic Configuration Guide This chapter briefly discusses the major parameters that must be set in order to use the 10-100 Ethernet - DES I/O card as part of your IntraPort Carrier VPN Access Server. Configuration instructions in this chapter are given for Ethernet 0 on Slot 0. If your server has multiple slots populated, then you will need to repeat this setup for the other interfaces.
Chapter 2 - Basic Configuration Guide 5 IP Protocol You need to set some basic IP parameters for the Ethernet interface. • IP address (default = 198.41.12.1) • IP subnet mask (default = 255.255.255.0) • IP broadcast address (default = 198.41.12.
Chapter 2 - Basic Configuration Guide 6 Configuring the Server for IP and IPX Client Tunnels To configure the IntraPort Carrier for IP and IPX client tunnels, each user must be entered into the VPN user database (or into a RADIUS server database) and assigned a tunnel configuration.
Chapter 2 - Basic Configuration Guide 7 Setting up RADIUS Authentication If you are using a RADIUS server for user authentication, you must set up the IPC to communicate with a RADIUS server and also set some special parameters in the RADIUS server itself. Setting the IntraPort for a RADIUS Server Just a few basic settings are required for the IntraPort to communicate with a RADIUS server.
Chapter 2 - Basic Configuration Guide 8 that you enter users in the Users text file. See the user manual for your server for more information on exporting, editing and importing the Users text file. In addition to the RADIUS server settings, the user name, login password and tunnel secret must match the settings for each user in the User Properties window of the VPN Client. The group configuration must match one of the VPN group configurations in the IntraPort’s configuration.

Chapter 4 - LED Patterns 10 Chapter 4 - LED Patterns Some of the LEDs on the front of the IntraPort Carrier VPN Access Server serve dual functions. In addition to indicating certain server-wide operating conditions, they may also display port-specific information. v Note: Any continuous flashing pattern not noted in this chapter may be caused by a hardware failure. Please call Compatible Systems Technical Support if your server shows a hardware failure.
