Chapter 4: Planning for HSIM-W6 ISDN Configuration

Node Numbers — Servers can have internal and external node numbers. The internal node number is a logical number assigned by the system administrator to the server. The external node number is the MAC address of the server. When adding SAP services to the SAP table, internal node numbers are used.

Network Information Tables

The following tables list the items you need to define or obtain to configure the router. This information is illustrated in the network information diagrams and described in the previous sections. Worksheets are provided in Appendix C, so that you can enter details about your HSIM-W6 and remote routers. Table 4 provides information for configuring your system settings, Table 5 explains the Remote Router Database configuration settings and Table 6 details bridging and routing configuration.

NOTE

To configure the HSIM-W6, you need to fill out one chart for the HSIM-W6 and one Remote Router chart for each remote router to be entered into the remote router database. If you are setting up both ends of the network, you need a mirror image of the information listed below for configuring the router on the other end of the ISDN link.
