General Safety Instructions The following instructions serve as a general guide for the safe installation and operation of telecommunications products. Additional instructions, if applicable, are included inside the manual. Safety Symbols Warning This symbol may appear on the equipment or in the text. It indicates potential safety hazards regarding product operation or maintenance to operator or service personnel.
PAGE 6
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.

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.
PAGE 8
Caution Attention To reduce the risk of fire, use only No. 26 AWG or larger telecommunication line cords. 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.

ASMi-52 Installation and Operation Manual Chapter 1 Introduction Line Interface ASMi-52 extends the range of data transmission over 2/4-wire lines up to 7.0 km (4.3 miles), by employing SHDSL TC-PAM technology. ASMi-52 operation complies with the requirements of the ITU-T G.991.2 standard. 4-wire ASMi-52 units can be configured to operate over 4-wire or 2-wire lines. Table 1-1 lists typical ASMi-52 ranges over 2/4-wire 26 AWG line. Table 1-1.
PAGE 20
ASMi-52 Installation and Operation Manual Chapter 1 Introduction ASMi-52 supports multiple data rates in the range between 64 kbps and 4608 kbps. Data rate depends on the following factors: • Unit rate mode (regular or low speed) • Line interface type (2-wire or 4-wire) • DTE interface type of the local and remote units (serial or E1) • Clock mode (internal or external).
PAGE 21
ASMi-52 Installation and Operation Manual Chapter 1 Introduction Timing ASMi-52 supports three clock modes: • Internal, derived from its internal oscillator (CO mode) • External, supplied by the attached DTE • Receive, recovered from the received line signal (CPE mode). Management ASMi-52 supports the following management options: • SLIP via V.

ASMi-52 Installation and Operation Manual Appendix B IR-IP Interface Module B.1 Introduction Overview IR-IP is a high-performance, miniature IP router based on RAD's unique IP router chip, the ChipRouter. IR-IP has a 10BaseT (UTP) interface and complies with IEEE 802.3. The router interface operates in either half-duplex or full-duplex mode. IR-IP filters the traffic, in accordance with the IP address of each packet, and forwards only packets with foreign addresses through the WAN link.

ASMi-52 Installation and Operation Manual Appendix B IR-IP Interface Module Default IP Communication Parameters The factory-default IP communication parameters of the interface module are: • The default IP address of the IR-IP Ethernet port is 192.168.205.1, and the default IP subnet mask is 255.255.255.252. • The port will accept IP communication only from the IP address 192.168.205.2.
PAGE 120
Appendix B IR-IP Interface Module ASMi-52 Installation and Operation Manual Connecting the Telnet Host Before starting the management and configuration activities, it is necessary to establish IP communication between your Telnet host and the IR-IP interface module. For this purpose, it is necessary to provide a communication path. Because of the method used to assign an IP address to IR-IP Ethernet port, it is recommended to connect the Telnet host directly to the IP router 10BASE-T connector.
PAGE 121
ASMi-52 Installation and Operation Manual Appendix B IR-IP Interface Module The IP address is actually retrieved from the ARP frames sent during pinging to locate the ping destination, not from the ping frames. To ensure that the process is correctly performed, it is recommended to check the contents of the ARP table before starting the ping utility, to make sure that it does not contain the address to be assigned to the IP router LAN interface.
PAGE 122
Appendix B IR-IP Interface Module ASMi-52 Installation and Operation Manual Changing the LAN IP Address of a Configured IR-IP The LAN IP address of an already-configured IR-IP can be changed while it operates. This means it is not necessary to turn ASMi-52 off before starting the configuration procedure. Note however that the IP traffic flow through IR-IP will be disrupted until the other stations in the IP network learn the new address.

ASMi-52 Installation and Operation Manual Appendix B IR-IP Interface Module B.6 IR-IP Management Utility General Operating Procedures The IR-IP interface module is managed via a simple, menu-driven utility that uses a basic terminal user interface. A typical screen is shown in Figure B-3. As seen in Figure B-3, each screen has a header that identifies the device being configured and its logical name, assigned by the user, followed by the running software revision and date.

LAN IP Address – The LAN IP address for the IP router LAN interface, is the address to which nodes connected to the local LAN send packets that are addressed to the WAN. LAN IP Mask – Used to enter the IP subnet mask. The IP router supports a maximum of 254 hosts on the LAN, therefore you must use Class C subnet masks.
PAGE 126
ASMi-52 Installation and Operation Manual Appendix B IR-IP Interface Module To use this option, enter the IP address of another router attached to the local LAN in the Default Gateway field. Note It is very important to obtain the correct parameters from the system administrator or ISP. The most common problem when establishing an IP connection is incorrect configuration of IP parameters and default gateway. Do not try to guess these parameters.

ASMi-52 Installation and Operation Manual • Appendix B IR-IP Interface Module When you cannot configure IR-IP because its current LAN-interface IP address and/or the Telnet password, are not known. To erase the user’s configuration: 1. Turn ASMi-52 off. 2. Set all the four sections of the IR-IP DIP switch (see Table B-2) to ON. 3. Turn ASMi-52 on and monitor the ERR and LINK indicators: they must blink alternately. 4.

ASMi-52 Installation and Operation Manual Appendix B IR-IP Interface Module Note If you do not set sections 3 and 4 to OFF within 15 seconds of power-up, IR-IP ignores the setting of all the four sections to ON and starts normal operation. In this case, it is recommended to turn ASMi-52 off and then back on. Alternately, to abort the whole operation, turn ASMi-52 off, return all the four switches to the desired positions, and then turn ASMi-52 on again. 5.
