Chapter 1: Introduction 1-4 HSIM-W84 Installation Guide
2 About the HSIM-W84 The HSIM-W84 (Figure 2-1) is a Wide Area Network (WAN) Remote Access High Speed Interface Module (HSIM). The HSIM-W84 supports OSI Layer 2 Inverse Multiplexing (IMUX) across groups of two, three, or four T1 ports, IEEE 802.1d transparent bridging, and IP/IPX Routing. In addition, the ASYNC port connector can be used as a local console connection.
Chapter 2: About the HSIM-W84 Additional Features FLASH EEPROMs — The HSIM-W84 uses FLASH Electrically Erasable Programmable Read-Only Memory (EEPROM) that allows the downloading of new and updated firmware in conjunction with Cabletron Systems QuickSET or any device using BootP or TFTP protocols. LANVIEW LEDs — Cabletron Systems LANVIEW Status Monitoring and Diagnostics System is a troubleshooting tool that helps in the diagnosing of power failures, collisions, cable faults, and link problems.
HSIM-W84 Firmware Support WAN Protocols This device supports the following WAN protocols over the WAN port: • Point-to-Point Compression Control Protocol (CCP) as defined by RFC 1962 • Point-to-Point Protocol (LCP) as defined by RFC 1661 • Point-to-Point Protocol (BNCP) as defined by RFC 1638 • Point-to-Point Protocol (IPCP) as defined by RFC 1473 • Point-to-Point Protocol (IPXCP) as defined by RFC 1552 • Frame Relay as defined by RFC 1490 • Frame Relay Data Compression Protocol (DCP) as defin
Chapter 2: About the HSIM-W84 Inverse Multiplexing NOTE Cabletron Systems products that support Inverse Multiplexing (IMUX), such as the HSIM-W84, HSIM-W6, CSX400, and CSX200, must exist on both ends of the WAN link for the IMUX function to work. Both bridging and routing functions are disabled when using the IMUX function.
HSIM-W84 Firmware Support HDLC Cabletron Systems has provided the High-level Data Link Control (HDLC) protocol which is used in conjunction with the Inverse Multiplexing (IMUX) feature to conserve a user’s WAN bandwidth between two Cabletron Systems products, over a point-to-point connection. Cabletron Systems products such as the HSIM-W6, HSIM-W84, CSX200, and CSX400 must be in use on both ends of the WAN link for these functions to work.
Chapter 2: About the HSIM-W84 The NAT method (that is supported only on interface T1-1) allows several DHCP clients on a sub network to connect to WAN clients by allowing the DHCP clients to share a single public IP address. When the HSIM-W84 uses NAT, the NAT method modifies the IP headers and addresses, and the selected fields in upper layer protocol headers.
HSIM-W84 Firmware Support Switched Virtual Circuits, or SVCs, are available on a call-by-call basis using the SVC signaling protocol (Q.933). The network must quickly establish the connection, and allocate bandwidth based on the user’s request. In a Frame Relay frame, user data packets are not changed in any way. A two byte header is appended to the frame. Contained in this header is a 10-bit number called the Data Link Connection Identifier (DLCI).
Chapter 2: About the HSIM-W84 IP-OSPF Hierarchy IP-OSPF operates within a hierarchy of entities: Autonomous System An Autonomous System (AS) is a set of routers and networks under a common administration. Routers inside an AS are called “interior gateways” and the protocol is called Interior Gateway Protocol (IGP). OSPF is an IGP. Every OSPF routing domain must have a backbone. An OSPF backbone distributes routing information between areas in an OSPF routing domain.
HSIM-W84 Firmware Support Designated Router Designated Routers (DR) are used by OSPF to reduce adjacencies. Other routers establish adjacencies and synchronize databases only with the designated router and backup designated router. These routers perform two key functions for the OSPF routing protocol: • The designated router creates a network links advertisement which lists the set of routers, including the designated router, attached to the network.
Chapter 2: About the HSIM-W84 In half-duplex operation, the authenticator device challenges the peer device by generating a CHAP challenge, and the challenge contains an MD5 algorithm with a random number that has your encrypted password and system name. The peer device then applies a one-way hash algorithm to the random number and returns this encrypted information along with the system name in the CHAP response.
HSIM-W84 Firmware Support Bridging and Routing Bridging — Bridging connects two or more separate networks together. The bridge examines a portion of each network frame called the header. This header contains control information for the frame.
Chapter 2: About the HSIM-W84 IEEE 802.1d Bridging — The HSIM-W84 supports the IEEE 802.1d standard for LAN to LAN bridging. This bridging algorithm learns the low-level MAC addresses of each LAN constituent and uses this information to decide whether to transmit the packet to another LAN via a WAN connection, or keep it local. Part of the bridging standard used, called Spanning Tree Protocol, supports multiple, redundant paths for LAN to LAN bridging, yet prevents data loops and duplication.
HSIM-W84 Firmware Support Common uses include preventing access to remote networks, controlling unauthorized access to the local network, and limiting unnecessary traffic. The HSIM-W84 supports the following Bridge Filters: • dot1d.Static Filters (IETF RFC 1493) • Ethernet Special Filtering Database (from the ctbridge-mib) System Passwords System passwords allow you to control access to the HSIM-W84 by establishing three passwords. Each password provides varying levels of access to the HSIM-W84.

4 Troubleshooting Use this chapter in conjunction with the LANVIEW status monitoring and diagnostic LEDs on the HSIM-W84 to diagnose power failures, cable faults and link problems. Figure 4-1 shows the front panel LEDs. Table 4-1 through Table 4-5 describe the LED states of the HSIM-W84. If you are having difficulty installing and configuring the HSIM-W84, perform the following steps: • Review the HSIM-W84 QuickSTART Guide to insure proper installation.

Chapter 4: Troubleshooting Troubleshooting HSIM-W84 Hardware The following sections describe the LED states for the hardware, ASYNC console connection, and WAN connection, and show how to troubleshoot the HSIM-W84 based on these LED states. SmartSwitch Standalone or Module Power (PWR) LED is OFF — Check that the power connection is firmly attached to the back panel of the SmartSwitch Standalone or Module, and the other end to an active power source.
Troubleshooting HSIM-W84 Hardware Troubleshooting the WAN Link (LNK) LED is OFF — The WAN interface is not configured for operation. Use QuickSET or Local Management to make sure that the WAN interface is configured correctly. Link (LNK) LED is RED — The WAN interface is configured, but there is no signal indicating that a valid connection is present on the WAN interface. • Check that the HSIM-W84 and the device at the other end of the segment are powered up.
Chapter 4: Troubleshooting Status (STS) LED is AMBER — The device is in Yellow alarm mode. A Yellow alarm indicates that the HSIM-W84 is receiving proper framing from the Telco, but the Telco is not receiving proper framing. • Check for faulty or incorrect cabling between Telco and HSIM-W84. • Request that the Telco verify the configuration and operation of the circuit. Status (STS) LED is AMBER (blinking) — Device is in test mode. • The HSIM-W84 is running its Power-up Diagnostic Tests.
Investigating Software Configuration Problems User Cannot Communicate with Remote Network Station If Bridging, • Check that the Bridging Default Destination is set. • Check that bridging to/from the remote router is set on. • Be sure to reboot if you have made any bridging destination or control changes. If TCP/IP Routing, • Check that TCP/IP Routing is set on and is enabled at the remote end.
Chapter 4: Troubleshooting The information provided in a FULL STATUS RESPONSE, or ASYNCHRONOUS STATUS MESSAGE basically has two parts, the FR Switch provides a DLCI number, and whether that DLCI is in the Active or Inactive state. Active State — means that both ends of the connection (this DTE and the DTE at the other end of the WAN cloud) are speaking correctly to the FR DCE Switches in the WAN cloud.
A NOTE T1 Cable Specifications For T1 cables, observe the following part numbering conventions when ordering a standard 20-foot cable or a specified length of cable. The number 20 followed by the part number denotes the standard 20-foot cable. The letter “L” denotes the specified length required in feet or meters. For example: 9372095-3 denotes a 3 foot cable; 9372095-3M denotes a 3 meter cable.
