Model 6511RC User Manual

 

 

Introduction

This chapter contains the following procedures that describe configuring the Model 6511RC Matrix Switch for operation:

“Configuration prerequisites”—lists the items you need to have on hand before configuring the Matrix Switch.

“Initial configuration through the RS-232 control port” on page 43—describes how to define the 6511RC’s LAN IP address and netmask parameters.

“Using a browser to complete Model 6511RC configuration” on page 47—describes how to define the remaining basic configuration parameters in order to bring your Matrix Switch on-line. The procedures include the following steps:

-Displaying the Matrix Switch home page (see “Displaying the Matrix Switch 6511RC web administra- tion pages” on page 47)

-Defining the IP default gateway (see “Configuring the default gateway” on page 51)

-Defining the system clocking parameters (see “Configuring the system clocking parameters” on page 52

-Defining the STM-1 Circuit parameters (see “Configuring the SDH circuit parameters” on page 54)

-Enabling idle code generation for designated DS0 channels (see “Configuring DS0 idle codes” on page 58)

-Defining DS0 mappings within the STM-1 link (see “Selecting the SDH mapping path” on page 60)

“Saving your configuration” on page 74—describes how to save your configuration settings.

“Backing up your configuration parameters” on page 75—describes how save your configuration parame- ters to a file

“Completing the installation” on page 77—describes how to verify that your 6511RC Matrix Switch is fully operational.

Configuration prerequisites

You will need the following to configure the 6511RC Matrix Switch:

A PC equipped with the following:

-RS-232/V.24 serial port

-VT-100 terminal program, e.g., HyperTerminal

-Ethernet port

-Web browser (e.g., Netscape Communicator or Microsoft Internet Explorer)

You will need the following information to configure the Model 6511RC:

-The IP address and subnet mask for the 6511RC’s Ethernet port

-The IP address of the default gateway

To configure the STM-1 link, you will need the following information from the SDH network to which you are connecting:
