2 About the HSIM-W6 The HSIM-W6 (Figure 1) offers high-speed Wide Area Network (WAN) access to remote sites via two WAN Port Interface Modules (WPIMs) to the device into which it is installed. The HSIM-W6 supports IEEE 802.1d transparent bridging, IP routing, IPX routing between the host device and the two WAN connections, ISDN, Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP), Network Address Translation (NAT), and Inverse Multiplexing (IMUX) between Ethernet LANs across a WAN resource.
Chapter 2: About the HSIM-W6 • The WPIM-SY provides a synchronous serial connection of up to 2.048 Mbps to external communications equipment (e.g., a multiplexer or CSU/DSU). The WPIM-Sync uses a subminiature 26-pin connector that supports the following electrical signal interfaces (see the Synchronous WAN Configuration Window section in Chapter 4 for specific cable part numbers): • EIA-RS449 • V.35 • EIA-RS232D • X.
Chapter 2: About the HSIM-W6 • The WPIM-T1/DDS provides both a T1 and DDS interface that allows you to easily switch between the two interfaces by changing the physical cabling and reconfiguring QuickSET for the desired interface. The WPIM-T1/DDS has the capabilities of both the WPIM-T1 and WPIM-DDS.
Chapter 2: About the HSIM-W6 Optional Feature Hardware Data Compression Module (CSX-COMP/ENCR) — The same industry standard STAC Electronics Stacker LZS Compression algorithm supported by HSIM-W6 software is made available by an optional hardware data compression module that accelerates data compression for the HSIM-W6 over PPP and Frame Relay. Depending on the packet type and size, hardware data compression provides a minimum of 2:1 data compression, giving 3 Mbps throughput on each T-1 WPIM interface.
Chapter 2: About the HSIM-W6 • Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) as defined by RFC 1541 • Network Address Translation (NAT) routing as defined by RFC 1631 • Password Authentication Protocol (PAP) and Challenge Handshake Authentication Protocol (CHAP) under PPP as defined by RFC 1994 • Point-to-Point Protocol Line Quality Monitoring (LQM) as defined by RFC 1333 • Point-to-Point Protocol Multilink Protocol (MP) as defined by RFC 1717 • Integrated Services Digital Network (ISDN) Basic Rate
Chapter 2: About the HSIM-W6 Inverse Multiplexing NOTE Cabletron Systems products that support Inverse Multiplexing (IMUX), such as the HSIM-W6, CSX400, and HSIM-4T1, 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.
Chapter 2: About the HSIM-W6 HDLC Cabletron Systems has provided the High-level Data Link Control (HDLC) protocol which is used in conjunction with the Inverse Multiplexing (IMUX) feature and the WPIM-HDSL 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, CSX200, and CSX400 must be in use on both ends of the WAN link for these functions to work.
Chapter 2: About the HSIM-W6 The NAT method 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-W6 uses NAT, the NAT method modifies the IP headers and addresses, and the selected fields in upper layer protocol headers.
Chapter 2: About the HSIM-W6 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.
Chapter 2: About the HSIM-W6 ISDN ISDN provides an inexpensive switched digital access to remote sites. The ISDN BRI standard provides for two high speed 64 Kbps bearer (B) channels used for voice or data connections and one 16 Kbps signaling data (D) channel used for call setup, signaling and other information. ISDN allows all types of information to be transmitted including voice, data, fax and video. Multiple devices can be linked to a single ISDN connection, each having their own telephone number.
Chapter 2: About the HSIM-W6 ISDN Back-up The ISDN back-up feature provides a back-up link for a remote site or branch office when one or more primary WAN interfaces for a frame relay circuit or a nailed-up PPP connection fails. The WPIM-S/T serves as the backup medium for this primary connection. The WPIM-S/T uses the ISDN interfaces to back-up any primary interfaces which have been configured for ISDN back-up.
Chapter 2: About the HSIM-W6 HDSL High-bit rate Digital Subscriber Line (HDSL) technology uses existing copper twisted pair cables designed for conventional analog voice transmission from a telephone carrier servicing area as a low-cost alternative to the quality and speed of fiber optic cables, and provides high-speed full-duplex digital transmission links of up to 1.544 Mbps.
Chapter 2: About the HSIM-W6 Routing — Routing provides a way to transfer user data from source to destination over different LAN and WAN links using one or more network protocol formats. Routing relies on routing address tables to determine the best path for each packet. Routing tables can be seeded (i.e., addresses for remote destinations are placed in the table along with network address masks and a metric for path latency). Routing tables are also built dynamically (i.e.
Chapter 2: About the HSIM-W6 Bridging and Routing Protocol Filtering Filtering is used to allow efficient usage of network resources and provide security for your network and hosts. IP Internet Firewall — The HSIM-W6 supports IP Internet Firewall filtering to prevent unauthorized access to your system and network resources from the Internet or a corporate Intranet. Security can be configured to permit or deny IP traffic.
Chapter 2: About the HSIM-W6 read-write — This access level allows editing of some device configuration parameters not including changing system passwords. super-user — This access level allows full management privileges, allowing you access to QuickSET. Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) The HSIM-W6 provides SNMP agent support for the following: standard and Enterprise Specific Management Information Bases (MIBs), and support for standard and Enterprise Specific SNMP Traps.

Refer to Chapter 6 for QuickSET instructions. QuickSET allows you to retrieve or upgrade the firmware, software, and configuration files from its Firmware Upgrade menu by selecting the TFTP/BootP Services window to access a TFTP (Trivial File Transfer Protocol) server.
3 ISDN Line Ordering and Configuration This chapter provides ISDN BRI (Basic Rate Interface) line ordering and configuration information. It contains the following sections: • Arranging ISDN Service • Telephone Switch Support • ISDN BRI Line Configuration • SPIDs, Directory Numbers and Telephone Numbers • Telephone Switch Parameters Read the first section in this chapter for an overview of the steps required to order ISDN service from your service provider (telephone company).
Chapter 3: ISDN Line Ordering and Configuration Telephone Switch Support Your telephone company may offer a variety of ISDN switch types. You must contact your service provider and find out which type of ISDN service is available. The following switch types are currently supported by the HSIM-W6 within the U.S.: • National ISDN 1 (NI-1) • AT&T 5ESS with Custom Software • DMS-100 Outside of the U.S.
Chapter 3: ISDN Line Ordering and Configuration In the U.S. and Canada, Network Terminator equipment (NT1) is required to provide an interface between the HSIM-W6 and the ISDN line. The NT1 offers conversion between the two-wire twisted pair (U-loop interface) used by telephone companies and the four-wire terminal equipment (S/T Interface) as well as line-testing capabilities. External Network Terminator equipment comes with a power supply (built-in or external).
Chapter 3: ISDN Line Ordering and Configuration Service Profile Identifiers SPIDs, also assigned by the ISDN service provider, identify the services and features that the telephone company switch provides to the ISDN device. Commonly implemented in the U.S. and Canada, the SPID is often derived from the directory number, combined in a series with other digits. SPIDs are not generally implemented outside the U.S. and Canada.

4 Planning for HSIM-W6 ISDN Configuration This chapter explains the HSIM-W6 ISDN-BRI configuration process and terminology. It also describes the information that is required for configuration. Configuration Process and Terminology During configuration, you specify information identifying the HSIM-W6 and define the LAN and WAN connections of the HSIM-W6. All of the remote routers to which this device may connect are added to a database called the remote router database that resides in the HSIM-W6.
Chapter 4: Planning for HSIM-W6 ISDN Configuration Collect Network Information Before you begin, you need to obtain information about the network to which you are adding the HSIM-W6. Some of the information is obtained from your central site or remote site network administrator. Other information is obtained from your ISDN service provider. You must define the name and security password of the HSIM-W6, ISDN line information and the Ethernet LAN IP and/or IPX address.
Chapter 4: Planning for HSIM-W6 ISDN Configuration ISDN Line Information You need to know the telephone switch type and phone numbers associated with the ISDN line. The telephone switch types supported are listed in Telephone Switch Support. The service provider gives you up to three sets of numbers for identifying the ISDN line and attached devices. You may be assigned none, one or two SPIDs or DNs and this varies by service provider and country.
Chapter 4: Planning for HSIM-W6 ISDN Configuration Network Information Diagrams It is helpful to draw a diagram including all locations, addresses, router names, etc. This section includes diagrams needed to configure the HSIM-W6. You may need different addressing information depending on whether you are configuring IP routing and/or NetWare IPX routing. NOTE The diagrams show the information required to configure only the HSIM-W6.
Chapter 4: Planning for HSIM-W6 ISDN Configuration TCP/IP Route Addresses — If the HSIM-W6 is to direct traffic to networks or stations beyond the remote router, the routing table in the HSIM-W6 can be “seeded” with static IP routes. An IP route includes an IP address, subnet mask and metric. The metric is a number representing the perceived cost in reaching the remote network or station.
Chapter 4: Planning for HSIM-W6 ISDN Configuration If the remote router supports unnumbered mode, neither address needs to be specified. Figure 6 provides a simple example of an unnumbered mode configuration. REMOTE ROUTER HSIM-W6 NO SOURCE IP ADDRESS NO REMOTE IP ADDRESS 100_11 WAN LINK Figure 6 HSIM-W6 in Unnumbered Mode For numbered mode, consider the capabilities of the remote router as well as your requirements.
Chapter 4: Planning for HSIM-W6 ISDN Configuration Specify a Remote WAN IP Address if the remote router does not support IP address negotiation under PPP (i.e., does not have a pre-assigned IP address as shown in Figure 8). WAN LINK 128.1.1.2 255.255.255.0 REMOTE ROUTER HSIM-W6 *SOURCE IP ADDRESS **REMOTE IP ADDRESS 100_13 128.1.129.1 255.255.255.0 *SPECIFY SOURCE IP ADDRESS IF IT MUST BE ON SAME SUBNETWORK AS THE REMOTE ROUTER.
Chapter 4: Planning for HSIM-W6 ISDN Configuration NetWare IPX Routing — An Ethernet LAN IPX network number is required for the HSIM-W6 local Ethernet LAN connection. The ISDN WAN link to each remote router must have an assigned IPX network number. IPX Routes and IPX SAPs for each remote router are also required for the configuration process. Figure 9 provides an example of the network layout for IPX routing.
Chapter 4: Planning for HSIM-W6 ISDN Configuration IPX Routes — If the HSIM-W6 is to direct traffic to network segments and servers beyond the remote router, the routing table in the HSIM-W6 can be “seeded” with static IPX routes. An IPX route includes a network number, hop count and ticks. The hop count is the number of routers through which traffic must pass to reach the remote network segment or server.
Chapter 4: Planning for HSIM-W6 ISDN Configuration Node Numbers — Servers can have internal and external node numbers. The internal node number is a logical number assigned by the system administrator to the server. The external node number is the MAC address of the server. When adding SAP services to the SAP table, internal node numbers are used. Network Information Tables The following tables list the items you need to define or obtain to configure the router.

Chapter E: Glossary IP Address — Internet address. A 32-bit address assigned to devices that participate in a network using TCP/IP. An IP address consists of four octets separated with periods defining network, optional subnet and host sections. IPX (Internet Packet Exchange) — A proprietary Network layer protocol developed by Novell and used in NetWare networks. ISDN — Integrated Services Digital Network.
Chapter E: Glossary Network Layer — Layer 3 of the OSI reference model that provides the protocol routing function. Node — Refers to a termination point for communication links; entity that can access a network. OSI — Open System Interconnection. An international standard developed by ITU (formally CCITT) and ISO (International Organization for Standardization) to facilitate data networking multi-vendor interoperability.
Chapter E: Glossary Serialization Frames — Frames sent out by servers under IPX to check whether illegal copies of NetWare are in use on the network. Service Advertising Protocol (SAP) — Protocol used by IPX for broadcasting information about services available on the network, such as file servers, CD-ROM drives and modem pools. SNAP — Sub-Network Access Protocol.
Chapter E: Glossary TFTP — Trivial File Transfer Protocol. A simplified version of the File Transfer Protocol (FTP) allowing for file transfer between computers over a network. Transparent Bridging — Bridging technique used in Ethernet networks that allows transfer of frames across intermediate nodes using tables associating end nodes with bridging addresses. Bridges are unknown to the end nodes. UDP — User Datagram Protocol.
