DLP-18 Unit Installation Using the Auto-Config Feature

Introduction

AUTO-CONFIGallows the service provider to gain initial access to a newly installed IAD while in its factory default state. This eliminates the need for a skilled technician on-site during installation, as it only requires someone to make the network interface and power connections to the IAD. After accessing the unit, the service provider remotely loads a configuration script. A fail-safe timer is then set and the configuration is saved. Next, the service provider reprovisions the network to match the IAD's configuration and accesses the unit. If the service provider can access the unit, the AUTO-CONFIGwas successful, the unit is operational, and the fail-safe timer should be cancelled. If access is not gained prior to the fail-safe timer expiration, the fail-safe mechanism is invoked and the IAD returns to the default configuration.

This DLP details the steps involved in an IAD installation using the AUTO-CONFIGfeature.

Prerequisite Procedures

The unit must be at factory default. If the unit is not a new unit, factory default the unit by one of the following methods:

•Select SYSTEM UTILITY > TERMINAL MODE. At the > prompt, type fac. You will then see “Restore Factory Defaults and Reset Unit? (press Y).” Press the Y key to confirm default. The unit then resets.

•If connected to the CRAFT port (must be at 9600 baud), power reset the unit and then restore power to the unit while holding down the F key. You will then be prompted to confirm the factory default.

Obtain the desired configuration file. The config file may be one of the following two formats:

•A .cfg file which is loaded via TFTP. See DLP-9,Saving the Current Configuration Using TFTP.

•A script obtained via the terminal mode. See DLP-13(Saving the Router's Configuration section only).

The service provider's access network Layer 1 must be provisioned to map a single 64 K DS0 from the provider's network to DS0 24 on the customer's T1 circuit with matching circuit parameters (ESF, B8ZS).

Tools and Materials Required

•VT100 compatible terminal or computer with terminal emulation software (only required if unit has to be factory defaulted)

•Appropriate cable to connect terminal to the unit (customer-provided, only required if unit has to be factory defaulted)

•DB-9 female to RJ-48 female adapter (ADTRAN proprietary) for connecting to the CRAFT port on the rear of the unit (see CRAFT Port on page 31).
