2.2 Configuring a Backup LinkA backup link creates an alternate route if the dedicated WAN connection between two NetPerformer units goes down.

• One side is configured to activate a call when the link goes down (CALL-BKUP mode)

• The other side is configured to answer the call (ANSWER mode).

A backup link is configured with the PORT or SLOT submenu of the SETUP command, in much the same way as for a dedicated WAN link (see Figure 2-2).

2.2.1 Calling Side of the Backup Link

To configure the port or channel on the calling side of the backup link:


2. Set the Mode to CALL-BKUP

3. Specify which dedicated WAN link or links this port backs up, using the Port to back parameter

4. Set the dialer type with the Dialer parameter

NOTE: If you choose a Dialer type that requires a dial phone number, configure this number with the SETUP/PHONE menu. Refer to the section Configuring the Phones for Backup Links in the WAN/Leased Lines module of this document series.

2.4 Configuring a WAN Link for Conditioned ActivationWAN link activation can be conditioned by the presence of active modem signals on a user port that sends data via this link.

• The user port Protocol must be set to HDLC, DDCMP, T-ASYNC, R-ASYNC, BSC, COP or PASSTHRU

• For a DCE connection, the DCD signal must be present.

• For a DTE connection, the DTR signal must be present.

Bring the link up by activating the modem signals on the attached user equipment.

• When the NetPerformer detects the modem signals, it immediately activates the link required to transmit the data to its destination.

• When you deactivate the modem signals, the NetPerformer responds by discon-necting the link.

A conditioned link is configured with the PORT or SLOT submenu of the SETUP command, in much the same way as for a dedicated WAN link (see Figure 2-2).

To configure a port or channel as a conditioned link:


2. Set the Mode to WAIT USER

2.6 Configuring an IP ConnectionAn IP connection can be made in several ways:

• Using a PPP link

• Using a PowerCell link (PowerCell over IP)

• Using an Ethernet link and Frame Relay PVCs (FRoIP)

To set up an IP connection, you need to configure:

• Global parameters that affect IP operations (see next section)

• IP parameters (see “Configuring the IP Parameters” on page 2-28)

• The physical link (see “Configuring the Physical Link” on page 2-30).

2.6.1 Configuring the Global Parameters

To configure the global parameters that affect IP operations:


Refer to Figure 4-7 for the SETUP/GLOBAL path in the CLI tree.

2. Change the IP and FRoIP parameters from their default values, if desired:

- Default IP address

- Default IP mask

- Default gateway

- Global CIR for FR over IP

- Timer in ms for FR over IP.

For further information on these parameters, consult the appendix “SE/GLOBAL Configuration Parameters” on page 5-1.

2.6.2 Configuring the IP Parameters

The IP parameters are configured with the IP submenu of the SETUP command. They control:

• General IP routing characteristics, using the SETUP/IP/GLOBAL submenu

• IP routing to a particular destination when RIP is disabled, using the SETUP/IP/STATIC submenu.

5.2.1 Unit name

The name of the NetPerformer unit. By convention, this is the node’s fully-qualified domain name.

The Unit name is used when accessing the unit for configuration and management purposes, and is entered in the routing table of network destinations reached using PVCR links. On the console, the current Unit name appears at the beginning of each command line.

Caution: You must specify a unique Unit name for each NetPerformer in the network. WAN (PVCR) connections will not work if two units have the same name. The default Unit name is the burned-in product serial number, which guarantees unique naming when you configure the unit for the first time.

You can choose any naming convention you like. For example, use the city or company name where the NetPerformer is located. We suggest that you name each unit according to its site and sequence. For example, if you have three NetPerformers located at a single site, you could name them BOSTON-1, BOSTON-2 and BOSTON-3.

5.2.2 Unit routing version

The routing version to be used on this unit. With the default Version 1 routing protocol, each unit name takes up one entry in the routing table. With Version 2 units can be assigned to a common group name, and require only one entry in the routing table per group of units.

• Set the Unit routing version to 1 if any NetPerformers in the network are running Unit Routing Version 1. This is the version used in all NetPerformer software releases earlier than V6.7.0.

• Set the Unit routing version to 2 if all NetPerformers are running Unit Routing Version 2, which is used in software release 6.7.0 and higher.

Caution: Each NetPerformer unit can be configured to run either routing version. However, the Unit routing version must be the same throughout the entire network.

5.2.4 Unit location

The physical location of this NetPerformer unit. For example, you could define the Unit location as Telephone closet, 3rd floor. This parameter is required for information purposes only.

5.2.5 Loopback

Control of loopback on the WAN links (PVCR protocol). The NetPerformer software detects the presence of a loopback condition on any WAN link. The Loopback parameter determines whether loopback on any link is accepted (YES) or not accepted (NO).

• Set Loopback to YES to accept loopback on WAN links. This is required for test-ing purposes only.

• Setting Loopback to NO to prevent the NetPerformer from using a link that has been placed in loopback mode either temporarily or accidentally.

The delay, in seconds, before a WAN link is declared down during a link failure. This timeout can be used to prevent the accumulation of LINK DOWN alarms in the NetPerformer when brief link failures occur.

5.2.7 Transit delay (s)

The maximum delay, in seconds, allowed to elapse between the reception and transmission of a frame forwarded by the bridge. A timer is started if a link reports that it is too busy to transmit a frame. Frames that are not processed within the transit delay are discarded.

The Transit delay determines the maximum aging time for TCP/IP data, including SNMP and TELNET.

NOTE: The Transit delay is used for bridge operations only.

5.2.8 Daylight saving time

Adjustment of the system date and time to Daylight Saving Time. Set Daylight saving time to YES only if you would like the unit to adjust the time to Daylight Saving Time.

PVCs that do not have a configured IP address (set with the IP address parameter for the port or PVC).

The Default IP address is a 4-byte value in dotted decimal notation, with a maximum value of 255 for each byte. When set to 000.000.000.000, no Default IP address is defined.

NOTE: To permit access to a NetPerformer using SNMP or TELNET, either the Default IP address or the IP address of the Ethernet port must be defined.

5.2.10 Default IP mask (number of bits)

The subnet mask associated with the Default IP address. The Default IP mask identifies which bits of the Default IP address correspond to the physical network, and which bits correspond to host identifiers. For example, in IP address 255.255.000.000 all network bits are set to 1 and all host bits are set to 0.

To change the value of the subnet mask using the console, enter the number of bits to be used for the mask. For example, select 17 bits to define the mask 255.255.128.000; select 23 bits to define 255.255.254.000. When you enter the number of bits the console automatically displays the resulting mask in dotted decimal notation to the right of the bits value.

NOTE: When using SNMP you cannot change the number of bits. You must enter the value of the default IP mask in dotted decimal notation (000.000.000.000 - 255.255.255.255).

Values: 000.000.000.000 - 255.255.255.255

5.2.11 Default gateway

The default gateway IP address that the NetPerformer will use to send frames to a device on another network if there is no valid gateway entry in the routing table.

The Default gateway is a 4-byte value in dotted decimal notation, with a maximum value of 255 for each byte.

• Enter the IP address of the gateway that should be used when a destination is unknown. All frames with unknown destinations are sent to this gateway.

• When this parameter is set to 000.000.000.000, no default gateway is defined on the NetPerformer. All frames with unknown destinations will be discarded.

5.2.12 SNMP trap: IP address 1,2,3,4

The IP addresses available to SNMP as the destination for traps. Traps are sent only to those SNMP managers that are specified with one of these IP addresses. Up to 4 distinct IP addresses can be defined.

Each SNMP trap IP address is a 4-byte value in dotted decimal notation, with a maximum value of 255 for each byte. Define the SNMP trap IP address with the address of the SNMP management device that should receive all traps occurring in the network.

Caution: SNMP will send its traps to the configured destination(s) only. If you do not define any SNMP Trap IP Addresses (all 4 IP addresses are left at the default value, 000.000.000.000) no managers on the LAN will receive any traps.

5.2.13 Frame relay status change trap

The Frame relay status change trap determines whether the SNMP trap frDLCIStatusChange is set (ENABLE) or not set (DISABLE) when the status of a Frame Relay DLCI changes.

5.2.14 Watch power supplies and fans

This parameter determines how the NetPerformer will monitor the power supplies and fans in the unit chassis. The following settings are available:

• NONE: No monitoring of power supplies and fans

• PS: Monitoring of power supplies only

• FANS: Monitoring of fans only

• BOTH: Monitoring of both power supplies and fans.

When the NetPerformer is configured to monitor the power supplies and fans, it will log an alarm and send a trap to SNMP whenever a change of state occurs.

To view the alarms, enter the Display Alarms (DA) console command, or select the SNMP statAlarmEntry variable. Here is an example:

BOSTON>DADISPLAY ALARMSTime> MON 1998/11/16 10:47:15Alarm> ONE PS DOWN MON 1998/11/16 10:46:21Alarm> BOTH FANS UP MON 1998/11/16 10:17:09Alarm> FANS FAULT MON 1998/11/16 10:08:32

5.2.15 Local unit DLCI address

For NetPerformer base product only:

The Data Link Connection Identifier (DLCI) address of the local unit. This address is used for PVCs that do not have a configured DLCI address (set with the DLCI address parameter for the port or PVC).

• Auto setting: To have the local unit learn the DLCI address automatically from the Frame Relay switch, leave the Local unit DLCI address at its default value, 0. The NetPerformer will obtain the correct DLCI address from the network through the Full Status Report.

• Manual setting: To set this parameter manually, select a non-zero value. Define the Local unit DLCI address manually when a global DLCI address is required for your Frame Relay application.

NOTE: In the NetPerformer a DLCI number has meaning only locally between the unit and the switch. If Frame Relay addressing appears global to the network from the point of view of the destination device, the local NetPerformer unit must know how it appears to the destination device when it wants to initiate a connection. When set to a non-zero value, the Local unit DLCI address pro-vides this information, and is used as the Srce field in the connection request.

If packets arrive at inconsistent intervals, voice quality may be choppy on a voice connection. When the Jitter buffer parameter is set to higher values, the end-to-end delay increases, but voice quality remains smooth. Lower values decrease end-to-end delay, but may produce choppy voice quality.

Set the Jitter buffer to 0 to enable dynamic jitter buffer, where the DSP determines the jitter in the network by calculating the time between packets. The DSP performs this calculation on startup and every time the jitter buffer overflows or under-flows.

This parameter determines whether the voice/fax log is enabled (YES) or disabled (NO). Set Enable voice/fax log to YES if you require a log of all voice/fax calls completed from this unit. This can be useful for accounting purposes.

The voice/fax log can be viewed at the console with the Display Log (DL) command. For further information, refer to the Monitoring and Statistics module of this document series.

5.2.20 Dial timer (s)

The amount of time, in seconds, that the application will wait for a digit of the speed dial number or the extended digits when attempting to set up a voice/fax connection. The Dial timer specifies the amount of time the system should wait for a response to a Call Connect or Call Clear requests.

Set this parameter to the maximum length of time required to dial a speed dial number. The NetPerformer determines that a dialing sequence is completed when the Dial timer expires or when the user terminates dialing with the pound sign (#).

When it is set to a non-zero value, the Dial timer can also be used to forward digits:

• The Dial timer is applied on the Extended digits to forward parameter

Values: 0 - 200 (in increments of 10 ms)

Default: 170

• The Extended digits (no. of digits) parameter defined in the Voice Mapping Table (MAP) is considered as the maximum number of extended digits that can be sent

• If the expected number of digits is not reached, the Extended digits to forward will be forwarded automatically after the Dial timer expires.

NOTE: The Dial timer is not applicable when you enter the speed dial number and extended digits on a digital voice port configured for R2/R2 signaling.

5.2.21 High priority voice class

This parameter determines whether voice transmissions are treated as high priority traffic.

• Set High priority voice class to YES (the default value) if you want voice traffic to be given high priority with respect to other traffic types.

• Set High priority voice class to NO to allow for manual configuration of the voice traffic priority class. In this case, the Voice class parameter is listed next.

5.2.22 Voice class

The priority level for voice traffic, if it has not been given high priority with the High priority voice class parameter.

NOTE: You can set the Voice class manually only if you first set the High priority voice class parameter to NO. If at a later time you change High priority voice class back to YES, the configured value of the Voice class parameter will be ignored.

The additional parameters required to configure the SDM-9585 rackmount card include the following:

5.3.1 Rack ID

The number of the rackmount chassis in which this NetPerformer card is found. This parameter is required when two or more rackmount chassis are daisy-chained together at a single site. Set the Rack ID to 0 to indicates that this card is installed in the only rackmount chassis at this site.

Caution: The ACTView 3000 management system allows for only 4 racks numbered from 1 to 4, and does not support the 0 value.

You can use whatever numbering convention you like for the Rack ID. However, we suggest that you number a daisy-chained series of rackmount chassis from top to bottom or from left to right, to ensure consistency at all sites in your network.

5.3.2 RIP version for backplane links

Enables or disables the Routing Information Protocol (RIP) on the backplane links, and select the RIP version used. Three settings are available to enable IP RIP:

• V1: The backplane links use RIP Version 1. With this version the subnet mask for an IP address in a routing table entry is determined using the mask of the link on which the frame was received.

• V2 BROADCAST: The backplane links use RIP Version 2 in Broadcast mode. In Version 2 a subnet mask is transmitted for each address contained in the RIP frame. In Broadcast mode each RIP V2 frame is sent with IP address 255.255.255.255, which permits routers running RIP Version 1 to receive and analyze those frames.

• V2 MULTICAST: The backplane links use RIP Version 2 in Multicast mode. In this mode each RIP V2 frame is sent with IP address 224.000.000.009, which prevents routers running RIP Version 1 from receiving those frames.

With RIP V2 Multicast, only RIP V2 compliant devices will receive RIP frames.

For details on the differences between IP RIP routing using RIP Version 1 and RIP Version 2, consult the section IP Routing with RIP Version 2 in the LAN Connection and IP Networks module of this document series.

Set the RIP version for backplane links parameter to DISABLE to prevent the NetPerformer from transmitting or receiving IP RIP frames on the backplane links. The NetPerformer will discard all RIP frames received.

NOTE: If you disable IP RIP on the NetPerformer, but require IP routing to a particu-lar destination (for management under SNMP, for example) you can config-ure a static IP address using the IP Static menu, described in the LAN Connection and IP Networks module of this document series.

6-10 Memotec Inc.


6.5 Authentication Using RADIUSThe NetPerformer supports Remote Authentication Dial-In User Service (RADIUS) for authentication of console and Telnet access to the network. The NetPerformer implementation follows the RFC-2865 specification. In this implementation:

• The RADIUS server software and a database of user profiles are installed on a dedicated workstation in the network

• Access privileges are determined individually for each username in the database, as either FULL or MONITOR access

• Login requests received at a participating NetPerformer unit are forwarded to the RADIUS server for authentication using the RADIUS protocol and a Shared Secret

• The RADIUS server is able to authenticate login requests from all participating NetPerformer units (clients) in the network.

Advantages of using a RADIUS server are:

• The authentication process is centralized in a distributed client/server system

• User authentication is simpler and more secure

• The addition and removal of user profiles does not require configuration changes on several units in the network.

6.5.1 Attributes Supported

The following standard RADIUS attributes are supported in the NetPerformer implementation, as defined in the RFC-2865 specification:

6.5.2 Login Procedure

When a remote user dials into a NetPerformer unit the usual login procedure is initiated:

• The NetPerformer requests a LOGIN (username) and PASSWORD for authenti-cation purposes.

Attribute No. Standard Name NetPerformer Equivalent

1 User-Name LOGIN

2 User-Password PASSWORD

4 NAS-IP-Address NetPerformer IP address

6 Service-Type Access privilege (FULL or MONITOR)

18 Reply-Message Access-Accept or Access-Reject

Table 1Standard RADIUS Attributes Supported in the NetPerformer Implementation

Memotec Inc. 6-11

Quick Configuration

• Once the user enters the LOGIN and PASSWORD, the NetPerformer searches the set of User Profiles that have been configured locally on the unit. Refer to “Defining the User Profiles” on page 6-3.

• If a match is found in the local User Profiles, the user is logged on with the Access privilege (FULL or MONITOR) that is defined in the User Profile.

If no match is found in the local User Profiles, the NetPerformer turns to the RADIUS Server for authentication:

• The NetPerformer builds a RADIUS Access-Request packet from the login and password encrypted with the Shared Secret, and forwards the login request to the RADIUS Server for authentication.

• The RADIUS Server de-encrypts the login request using the Shared Secret, and searches its database for the login/password combination.

• The RADIUS Server returns its verdict to the NetPerformer in the form of an Access-Accept or Access-Reject message. If the user is authorized to access the unit, the RADIUS Server also indicates the type of access privilege (FULL or MONITOR) that is allowed for this user.

• The NetPerformer responds to an Access-Accept message by logging the user on with the indicated access privileges. It responds to an Access-Reject message by displaying the following at the console:

Radius Authentication refused... Invalid Password.

6-12 Memotec Inc.


6.5.3 Configuring the NetPerformer for RADIUS Authentication

The criteria for RADIUS authentication are defined at the console using the IP/RADIUS submenu of the Setup (SE) command. The NetPerformer can be defined as a RADIUS client only.

To configure the NetPerformer as a client for RADIUS authentication:

• Enter the menu sequence: SE IP RADIUS

• Specify the Radius Server IP Address

• Define the Transmission timeout in seconds (default 1 second)

• Define the number of Transmission Retries that the unit can make to the RADIUS Server for a single login request (default 1)

• Enter the Radius Shared Secret (maximum 16 ASCII characters)

Caution: The Shared Secret must also be configured on the RADIUS Server.

• To enable authentication of console users, enter YES after the Console Authenti-cation parameter prompt (default NO)

• To enable authentication of Telnet users, enter YES after the Telnet Authentica-tion parameter prompt (default NO).
