Installation 1. Determine the place where the Hypertec ISDN 10T Router is to reside, it is designed to rest on a flat level surface such as a desktop or table. Make sure that an AC power source and the ISDN termination are nearby. Connect the Ethernet LAN to any or all of the four RJ 45 ports labeled Ethernet using cables with RJ45 connectors. You may daisy-chain the Hypertec ISDN 10T Router embedded repeater to other external Ethernet hubs to accommodate more than 4 LAN users by using a cross

Installation Software Installation The Hypertec ISDN 10T Router software diskettes contain two software packages, namely, NMS and EasyWeb. The Hypertec ISDN 10T Router Network Management System (NMS) is used to manage the Hypertec ISDN 10T Router from a Windows based PC equipped with a TCP/IP protocol stack. NMS communicates with the Hypertec ISDN 10T Router through Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) NMS consists of two applications, One is the SNMP management which is used to configure

Installation Uninstalling NMS Under Window95/NT you can uninstall NMS by selecting Add/Remove Programs in the Start/Settings/Control Panel window. Select NMS from the list and click the Add/Remove button. Installing EasyWeb The procedure for installing EasyWeb depends upon whether your system has an installed HTTP server or not. Installing EasyWeb if there is NO installed HTTP server. 1. Select a Windows95/NT-based PC on the Ethernet network that is attached to the Hypertec ISDN 10T Router and t

Concepts and Principles of Operation Physical Interface The ISDN physical interface is a available in two types, U and S/T. The S/T interface relies on a external device called NT1 to connect the user equipment to the ISDN line. The S/T interface is used in most parts of the world. The U interface, widely used in North America, is designed for user equipment with built-in NT1. The NT1 (also called ISDN DSU) built-in ISDN device is also allowed In Japan. The Japanese U interface however works dif

Concepts and Principles of Operation Directory numbers A directory number is the address or telephone number for the ISDN line assigned by your ISDN service provider or telephone company. The number of directory numbers allocated depends on which Service Provider you are using. If you are using an NI-1 line, you will be assigned one directory number per B- channel. Otherwise, you will be assigned one directory number per device. Service Profile Identifiers (SPIDs) Note: Service Profile Identifie

Bridging offers a straightforward method of interconnecting network segments. Bridges are simple to use. However, if you are bridging across a WAN using ISDN, you can incur unnecessary costs from the ISDN bill. A more controllable way of moving data cross networks is by routing. For Internet

Concepts and Principles of Operation Internet and Intranet Connection Profiles Hypertec ISDN 10T Router maintains two connection profiles one for Internet and the other for Intranet. The Internet connection by definition is for users to reach Internet, the Intranet connection is made between two offices. The Internet profile contains the configuration parameters required by the Internet connection. The categories available under Internet profile are : ISDN, PPP, IP, and NAT. The Intranet profil

Concepts and Principles of Operation You can set Hypertec Router IP addresses to be 'un-numbered' or ‘numbered’. By setting it to “un- numbered”, you can route IP over a link between two devices without assigning IP addresses to the ISDN interfaces. This allows you to save valuable IP address space. There are situations where a traditional “numbered” IP address scheme is inevitable. In Figure 0-2, Unnumbered ISDN Link, there is an unnumbered link between an ISDN router and a remote router at the

Concepts and Principles of Operation IPX IPX is the protocol used by Novel Netware as the network layer protocol. Novel IPX also uses Routing Information Protocol (RIP) for routing protocol. The IPX address consists of two parts: a 4- byte network number, and a 6- byte node number. Often, the node number is assigned as the Ethernet MAC address. In a bridging environment, all Netware clients and servers share the same external network number. In an IPX routing environment, networks connected by

Concepts and Principles of Operation RIP Novel IPX also uses Routing Information Protocol (RIP) as a routing protocol. Although it is similarly named to the IP equivalent, it uses a different protocol. IPX RIP broadcasts packets to the network every 60 seconds to inform other IPX routers or servers about its network. Upon receiving an IPX RIP packet, a router adds one to the hop count of each router advertised and broadcasts a RIP packet to other networks it is connected to. SAP Netware Servers

Concepts and Principles of Operation Hypertec ISDN 10T Router to negotiate for either PAP or CHAP authentication protocol whichever the remote end prefers. Multilink PPP The PPP Multilink Protocol (RFC 1717) is a standards based extension of the PPP (Point-to-Point Protocol) standard. It allows you to combine channels into a 'Multilink bundle' so that data can be sent at higher rates. Multilink PPP can implement a feature known as 'packet fragmentation' where larger individual packets are chop
