General Safety Instructions


The following instructions serve as a general guide for the safe installation and operation of telecommunications products. Additional instructions, if applicable, are included inside the manual.

Safety Symbols
This symbol may appear on the equipment or in the text. It indicates potential safety hazards regarding product operation or maintenance to operator or service personnel.

Warning

Danger of electric shock! Avoid any contact with the marked surface while the product is energized or connected to outdoor telecommunication lines.

Protective ground: the marked lug or terminal should be connected to the building protective ground bus.

Warning

Some products may be equipped with a laser diode. In such cases, a label with the laser class and other warnings as applicable will be attached near the optical transmitter. The laser warning symbol may be also attached. Please observe the following precautions: Before turning on the equipment, make sure that the fiber optic cable is intact and is connected to the transmitter. Do not attempt to adjust the laser drive current. Do not use broken or unterminated fiber-optic cables/connectors or look straight at the laser beam. The use of optical devices with the equipment will increase eye hazard.

Use of controls, adjustments or performing procedures other than those specified herein, may result in hazardous radiation exposure. ATTENTION: The laser beam may be invisible! In some cases, the users may insert their own SFP laser transceivers into the product. Users are alerted that RAD cannot be held responsible for any damage that may result if non-compliant transceivers are used. In particular, users are warned to use only agency approved products that comply with the local laser safety regulations for Class 1 laser products. Always observe standard safety precautions during installation, operation and maintenance of this product. Only qualified and authorized service personnel should carry out adjustment, maintenance or repairs to this product. No installation, adjustment, maintenance or repairs should be performed by either the operator or the user.

Handling Energized Products


General Safety Practices
Do not touch or tamper with the power supply when the power cord is connected. Line voltages may be present inside certain products even when the power switch (if installed) is in the OFF position or a fuse is blown. For DC-powered products, although the voltages levels are usually not hazardous, energy hazards may still exist. Before working on equipment connected to power lines or telecommunication lines, remove jewelry or any other metallic object that may come into contact with energized parts. Unless otherwise specified, all products are intended to be grounded during normal use. Grounding is provided by connecting the mains plug to a wall socket with a protective ground terminal. If a ground lug is provided on the product, it should be connected to the protective ground at all times, by a wire with a diameter of 18 AWG or wider. Rack-mounted equipment should be mounted only in grounded racks and cabinets. Always make the ground connection first and disconnect it last. Do not connect telecommunication cables to ungrounded equipment. Make sure that all other cables are disconnected before disconnecting the ground. Some products may have panels secured by thumbscrews with a slotted head. These panels may cover hazardous circuits or parts, such as power supplies. These thumbscrews should therefore always be tightened securely with a screwdriver after both initial installation and subsequent access to the panels.

Connecting AC Mains
Make sure that the electrical installation complies with local codes. Always connect the AC plug to a wall socket with a protective ground. The maximum permissible current capability of the branch distribution circuit that supplies power to the product is 16A (20A for USA and Canada). The circuit breaker in the building installation should have high breaking capacity and must operate at short-circuit current exceeding 35A (40A for USA and Canada). Always connect the power cord first to the equipment and then to the wall socket. If a power switch is provided in the equipment, set it to the OFF position. If the power cord cannot be readily disconnected in case of emergency, make sure that a readily accessible circuit breaker or emergency switch is installed in the building installation. In cases when the power distribution system is IT type, the switch must disconnect both poles simultaneously.

Connecting DC Power
Unless otherwise specified in the manual, the DC input to the equipment is floating in reference to the ground. Any single pole can be externally grounded. Due to the high current capability of DC power systems, care should be taken when connecting the DC supply to avoid short-circuits and fire hazards. Make sure that the DC power supply is electrically isolated from any AC source and that the installation complies with the local codes.

The maximum permissible current capability of the branch distribution circuit that supplies power to the product is 16A (20A for USA and Canada). The circuit breaker in the building installation should have high breaking capacity and must operate at short-circuit current exceeding 35A (40A for USA and Canada). Before connecting the DC supply wires, ensure that power is removed from the DC circuit. Locate the circuit breaker of the panel board that services the equipment and switch it to the OFF position. When connecting the DC supply wires, first connect the ground wire to the corresponding terminal, then the positive pole and last the negative pole. Switch the circuit breaker back to the ON position. A readily accessible disconnect device that is suitably rated and approved should be incorporated in the building installation. If the DC power supply is floating, the switch must disconnect both poles simultaneously.

Connecting Data and Telecommunications Cables


Data and telecommunication interfaces are classified according to their safety status. The following table lists the status of several standard interfaces. If the status of a given port differs from the standard one, a notice will be given in the manual.

Ports V.11, V.28, V.35, V.36, RS-530, X.21, 10 BaseT, 100 BaseT, Unbalanced E1, E2, E3, STM, DS-2, DS-3, S-Interface ISDN, Analog voice E&M xDSL (without feeding voltage), Balanced E1, T1, Sub E1/T1

Safety Status SELV Safety Extra Low Voltage: Ports which do not present a safety hazard. Usually up to 30 VAC or 60 VDC.

TNV-1 Telecommunication Network Voltage-1: Ports whose normal operating voltage is within the limits of SELV, on which overvoltages from telecommunications networks are possible. TNV-2 Telecommunication Network Voltage-2: Ports whose normal operating voltage exceeds the limits of SELV (usually up to 120 VDC or telephone ringing voltages), on which overvoltages from telecommunication networks are not possible. These ports are not permitted to be directly connected to external telephone and data lines. TNV-3 Telecommunication Network Voltage-3: Ports whose normal operating voltage exceeds the limits of SELV (usually up to 120 VDC or telephone ringing voltages), on which overvoltages from telecommunication networks are possible.

FXS (Foreign Exchange Subscriber)

FXO (Foreign Exchange Office), xDSL (with feeding voltage), U-Interface ISDN

Always connect a given port to a port of the same safety status. If in doubt, seek the assistance of a qualified safety engineer. Always make sure that the equipment is grounded before connecting telecommunication cables. Do not disconnect the ground connection before disconnecting all telecommunications cables. Some SELV and non-SELV circuits use the same connectors. Use caution when connecting cables. Extra caution should be exercised during thunderstorms.

When using shielded or coaxial cables, verify that there is a good ground connection at both ends. The grounding and bonding of the ground connections should comply with the local codes. The telecommunication wiring in the building may be damaged or present a fire hazard in case of contact between exposed external wires and the AC power lines. In order to reduce the risk, there are restrictions on the diameter of wires in the telecom cables, between the equipment and the mating connectors.

Caution

To reduce the risk of fire, use only No. 26 AWG or larger telecommunication line cords.

Attention

Pour rduire les risques sincendie, utiliser seulement des conducteurs de tlcommunications 26 AWG ou de section suprieure.

Some ports are suitable for connection to intra-building or non-exposed wiring or cabling only. In such cases, a notice will be given in the installation instructions. Do not attempt to tamper with any carrier-provided equipment or connection hardware.

Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC)


The equipment is designed and approved to comply with the electromagnetic regulations of major regulatory bodies. The following instructions may enhance the performance of the equipment and will provide better protection against excessive emission and better immunity against disturbances. A good ground connection is essential. When installing the equipment in a rack, make sure to remove all traces of paint from the mounting points. Use suitable lock-washers and torque. If an external grounding lug is provided, connect it to the ground bus using braided wire as short as possible. The equipment is designed to comply with EMC requirements when connecting it with unshielded twisted pair (UTP) cables. However, the use of shielded wires is always recommended, especially for high-rate data. In some cases, when unshielded wires are used, ferrite cores should be installed on certain cables. In such cases, special instructions are provided in the manual. Disconnect all wires which are not in permanent use, such as cables used for one-time configuration. The compliance of the equipment with the regulations for conducted emission on the data lines is dependent on the cable quality. The emission is tested for UTP with 80 dB longitudinal conversion loss (LCL). Unless otherwise specified or described in the manual, TNV-1 and TNV-3 ports provide secondary protection against surges on the data lines. Primary protectors should be provided in the building installation. The equipment is designed to provide adequate protection against electro-static discharge (ESD). However, it is good working practice to use caution when connecting cables terminated with plastic connectors (without a grounded metal hood, such as flat cables) to sensitive data lines. Before connecting such cables, discharge yourself by touching ground or wear an ESD preventive wrist strap.

Chapter 1 Introduction
1.1 Overview

LRS-102 is a high-density managed modem rack with 12 slots that can be equipped with independently operating I/O modules, which share the chassis management subsystem and power supply modules. Extensive management capabilities, starting with supervision terminals and Telnet hosts and up to SNMP-based network management, confer complete control over all aspects of equipment operation, and support efficient provisioning and rapid response to changing requirements. To protect network operations against unauthorized access, LRS-102 supports SNMP management with authentication and privacy per SNMPv3, with continued support for SNMPv1.

Product Options
The following product options are available: Power supply: LRS-102 can be ordered with AC or DC power supply modules. Two types of PS modules are available: Standard PS modules, which can provide up to at least 200W for AC-powered modules, and up to 250W for DC-powered modules to the modules installed in the LRS-102 Low power PS modules, which are sufficient for a LRS-102 fully equipped with OP-108C or OP-106C modules, or with no more than eight ASMi-54C modules. Common logic models: two types of common logic (CL) modules are available for LRS-102: CL.1: includes the common logic and management functions of LRS-102. This model is suitable for all the current LRS-102 applications (the current applications do not require a station clock interface) CLS.1: includes all the CL.1 functions, and in addition includes a station clock interface. This model is suitable for future applications in which the chassis will be equipped with modules which can use the station clock as a reference.

Note

The generic term CL module is used when the information is applicable to all the CL models. Information applicable to only one CL model is explicitly identified.

Power supply redundancy: LRS-102 can be ordered with one power supply module, or with two power supply modules, for redundancy. Always use same type of PS module (either standard or low power), but you can mix AC and DC PS modules in the same chassis Common logic redundancy: LRS-102 can be ordered with one or two common logic (CL) modules of the same model.

Applications
The LRS-102 current version can be equipped with two types of I/O modules: Dual E1, respectively T1, and Ethernet multiplexer modules, OP-108C and/or OP-106C Ethernet over SHDSL 8-port SHDSL.bis I/O module, ASMi-54C

Figure 1-1 and Figure 1-2 show typical applications for LRS-102 equipped with
OP-108C and/or OP-106C. Each module has two independent multiplexers, where each one can transparently transport four independent E1, respectively T1, data streams, together with one Fast Ethernet channel, over a single optical link. Each multiplexer in an OP-108C and OP-106C module can operate in a link with the E1/T1 and Ethernet standalone multiplexers, Optimux-108, respectively Optimux-106, offered by RAD. An LRS-102 equipped to its full capacity (12 modules) with OP-108C/OP-106C can thus provide links to 24 standalone units. Moreover, each OP-108C and OP-106C link has two optical ports, which can be operated as a redundant pair, to enhance service availability to critical users. The service provider can control each standalone unit through the link connecting the unit to the LRS-102 module, and therefore can manage a large number of standalone units from a central location.

solution for delivering digital data (Ethernet) to customers premises over the existing twisted pair (copper) infrastructure of the distribution plant, while eliminating the need for repeaters. In particular, ASMi-54C offers a cost-effective solution for connecting to locations without fiber optic infrastructure. ASMi-54C are also well-suited for applications which do not require the long-range transport capabilities of OP-108C or OP-106C optical link interfaces.

Figure 1-2 shows a typical on-campus application for a LRS-102 equipped with
ASMi-54C and OP-108C/OP-106C modules. ASMi-54C modules are primarily intended to operate in a link with ASMi-54 G.SHDSL.bis standalone modems offered by RAD. Each ASMi-54C module can connect to up to eight ASMi-54 standalone modems, however an ASMi-54C module can also operate in a link with another ASMi-54C module. Installing ASMi-54C modules connected to ASMi-54 standalone modems enhances the LRS-102 capabilities and services by offering cost-effective high-speed Ethernet access over SHDSL, at ranges up to several kilometers, based on the Ethernet for the First Mile (EFM) standard per IEEE 802.3-2005. ASMi-54C is capable of operating at variable rates up to 5.7 Mbps over one twisted pair, and supports bonding of 2 and 4 twisted pairs for rates up to 22.8 Mbps.

Features
LRS-102 provides a low-cost, efficient solution that saves space relative to that required for an equivalent number of standalone units, yet enhances management by providing a single point of contact, using a single IP address, for

the management of all the modules installed in the chassis. Moreover, LRS-102 common management subsystem enables downloading software to any I/O module via the management link, as well as downloading updated LRS-102 management software. Up to two software versions can be stored for I/O modules. Each I/O module can be replaced, or its cables removed during operation, without interfering with the traffic carried by the other I/O modules in the chassis. Redundancy with hot swapping is supported for all the critical LRS-102 subsystems (common logic and power supply), thereby achieving carrier-class availability. Redundancy is also supported for I/O modules that have this capability. Extensive management capabilities confer complete control over all aspects of equipment operation, and support efficient provisioning and rapid response to changing requirements. A wide range of inband and out-of-band management options are supported, starting with serial RS-232 interfaces for using a simple supervision terminal connected to the LRS-102, and including dedicated out-of-band Ethernet interfaces, and inband management via Ethernet interfaces located on I/O modules that enable Telnet and SNMP access from any location at which IP communication with the LRS-102 is possible, as well as management by means of Web browsers. Moreover, some types of I/O modules installed in the chassis can transfer management traffic to the far-end standalone units connected to their external links. Thus, LRS-102 provides organizations with the means needed to integrate the equipment installed in the LRS-102 chassis within the organizational management hierarchy, as well as manage seamlessly far-end equipment through the LRS-102. LRS-102 can be powered from AC and/or DC sources. Only a single power supply module is required to provide power to a fully equipped LRS-102, however, for redundancy, LRS-102 can be equipped with two power supply modules. When the modules installed in the chassis must supply feed voltages to the connected equipment, the power supply modules enable connecting an external power source, for example, Ringer-2200N/ISDN standalone unit offered by RAD. LRS-102 is a compact, 4U-high unit intended for installation in ANSI and ETSI racks. The units are cooled by free air convection. In addition, the power supply modules have miniature cooling fans installed on their front panels.

System Structure

Physical Description

LRS-102 units use a modular chassis with slots in which modules are installed by the user to obtain the desired equipment configuration. LRS-102 configuration includes the following main subsystems: I/O subsystem, provides interfaces to the users equipment. Control subsystem, located on all the common logic (CL) modules. Power supply subsystem, located on the power supply (PS) modules Chassis. The main function of the chassis is to provide interconnections between the various common subsystems (power and management) of the chassis and the installed I/O modules.

Note

The optional CLS.1 module has a station clock interface and timing distribution subsystem, for future applications.
CL and PS modules are always installed in their dedicated chassis slots, whereas the user interfacing modules can be installed in any of the other chassis slots (called I/O slots). Any operational LRS-102 system must include at least one CL module and one PS module. These modules are thus referred to as system modules. User interfacing modules, called I/O modules, are added to this basic configuration. LRS-102 system modules are critical components, because a failure in any one of these modules could disable the whole system, whereas a failure in an I/O module affects only a small part of the system, and can be generally overcome by using alternate routes, putting unused capacity into service, etc. Therefore, in most applications LRS-102 units should be equipped with an additional redundant system module of each type. The LRS-102 system is designed to automatically put a redundant module or subsystem in service in case the corresponding system component fails, thereby ensuring continuous system operation in the event of any single module failure. Moreover, redundant modules may be inserted or removed even while the system operates, without disrupting the traffic or degrading system performance.

Equipment Description
Figure 1-3 shows a general view of the LRS-102 enclosure. LRS-102 is built in a 4U-high enclosure that can be installed in 19 and 23 racks, using brackets attached to the sides of the enclosure, near the front or rear panel. Thus, a LRS-102 can be installed in accordance with the specific requirements of each site, either with the LRS-102 front panel toward the front of the rack (per ETSI practice), or with the module panels toward the front (per ANSI practice).

System status indicators are located on both the front panels and on the CL and PS module panels. Additional indicators are located on the module panels. The cable connections are made directly to the module panels.

Note

The standard front panel shown in Figure 1-3 can be replaced by a patch panel with BNC connectors, to support unbalanced E1 interfaces, for example, E1 interfaces of OP-108C/UNBAL modules. LRS-102 with standard front panel cannot be equipped with OP-108C/UNBAL modules. Figure 1-4 shows a typical rear view of the LRS-102 enclosure that identifies the slots and their utilization.
LRS-102 enclosure has 16 slots: Two slots are reserved for power supply (PS) modules Two slots are reserved for CL modules The other 12 slots, arranged in two groups of 6 each, are intended for I/O modules. Each I/O slot can accept any type of I/O module.

CL Modules
The CL module provides the following main functions: Control over all the aspects of LRS-102 system operations For CLS.1 modules: station clock interface and timing distribution Interfacing with the supervision terminal and other management systems (Telnet hosts, SNMP-based management stations and Web browsers). Storage of application software, which determines the LRS-102 capabilities and features. This software is stored in flash memory, and therefore can be remotely downloaded and updated through the management link without taking the equipment off-line. Moreover, the CL module can also store application software for the I/O modules installed in the chassis, and can download the software internally to the desired modules Storage of configuration databases. This information is stored in the flash memory. The configuration databases can also be uploaded and downloaded through the management link. Collection of operational history (alarms, performance statistics, etc.).

Only one CL module is necessary per chassis, however the chassis has two slots dedicated to this type of module. The second slot can be used to install a redundant CL module of the same type, thereby providing a hot-standby capability for the LRS-102 system control functions.

Power Supply (PS) Modules


The LRS-102 chassis can use both AC and DC power supply modules. The current PS module versions are listed below:

DC-powered module, PS/DC: 250W power supply module operating on -48 VDC (nominal), can provide a phantom feed voltage (-48 VDC) to I/O modules that require this voltage. When a higher voltage is required (for example, -120 VDC), it must be provided by an external source. AC-powered module, PS/AC: 200W power supply module, operates on 110 VAC and 230 VAC, 50/60Hz (nominal voltage is marked on the module panel). When a phantom feed voltage must be supplied, it is always necessary to use an external voltage source. Low power PS modules, which are sufficient for a LRS-102 fully equipped with OP-108C or OP-106C modules, or with no more than eight ASMi-54C modules. Low power PS modules are available in two models: DC-powered module, LRS-102-PS/DCLP: 112W power supply module operating on -48 VDC, can provide a phantom feed voltage (-48 VDC) to I/O modules that require this voltage. When a higher voltage is required (for example, -120 VDC), it must be provided by an external source. AC-powered module, LRS-102-PS/ACLP: 112W power supply module, operates on 110 VAC and 230 VAC (nominal), 50/60 Hz. When a phantom feed voltage must be supplied, it is always necessary to use an external voltage source. The recommended external feed voltage source is the Ringer-2200N/ISDN standalone unit offered by RAD. The LRS-102 chassis has two PS slots, thereby enabling the installation of two PS modules. Normally, a single PS module per unit is sufficient. However, a second PS module may be added, for redundancy: both modules must be of the same type (either standard, or low power), but it is allowed to install one AC-powered module and one DC-powered module. With a redundant PS module, both modules are connected to power and share the load when the system is operating. In case of failure or loss of input power, the remaining module continues to supply the power alone. Switch-over is thus automatic and does not disturb normal operation.

Configuring the LRS-102 Controlling the LRS-102 system operation Monitoring the LRS-102 status, and reading performance monitoring statistics from I/O modules that support such options. Performing LRS-102 tests and diagnostics on the I/O modules that support such options. Collecting operational history (alarms, events, performance statistics, etc.) The collected information can be read by maintenance personnel through the management link. A real-time clock provides time stamps for all the collected information.

Storage of the application software, which determines the capabilities and features provided by the LRS-102. This software can be remotely downloaded and updated through the management link without taking the equipment off-line. The stored software includes both system software, run by the CL module, and software for the other modules installed in the chassis that support internal software downloading. Storage of configuration databases. The configuration databases can also be uploaded and downloaded through the management link.

The application software, as well as the configuration databases, are stored in flash memory. In addition, the management subsystem also enables signaling the LRS-102 alarm status to bay alarm panels or remote operator consoles by means of two sets of dry relay contacts (one for major alarms, the other for minor alarms) included in a dedicated ALARM connector. As an option, LRS-102 units can also be managed by the RADview EMS, an SNMPbased Element Management System offered by RAD.

Management Support
The LRS-102 supervision and configuration activities can be performed using one of the following methods: Supervision terminal (for example, implemented using a PC running ASCII terminal emulation), connected to the serial control port of a CL module. No configuration information need be stored by the terminal Telnet hosts (using the same procedures as the supervision terminal utility), The following access options are supported: Out-of-band access via the dedicated Ethernet management port of the CL module(s). Inband access through user-configured Ethernet ports terminated on I/O modules, using a dedicated management VLAN Management by SNMP-based network management stations, using the access options described above for Telnet hosts. LRS-102 includes an internal SNMP agent that enables full SNMP management by SNMP-based network management stations. The internal agent supports the SNMPv3 authentication and privacy features, with continued support for SNMPv1.

Web browsers (using the ConfiguRAD utility run by the LRS-102 management subsystem), using the access options described above for Telnet hosts

Except for the serial control port, all the other management access ports use IP-based communications, where a single IP address (the host IP address) is assigned to the management subsystem. All the ports use the same IP and, when applicable, SNMP management communication parameters, and therefore management traffic can reach the LRS-102 management subsystem through any available access port.

Remote Software and Configuration Updating


The management subsystem supports TFTP for remote software updating and downloading, in addition to cold software downloading using an ASCII terminal directly connected to the LRS-102 (by means of the XMODEM protocol). TFTP can also be used to upload and download the LRS-102 configuration database. Network administrators can use the download capability to distribute verified configuration files to all the managed LRS-102 units in the network from a central location. To further expedite the process, it is also possible to upload the configuration data stored by an LRS-102 unit to the management station as a disk file, and then distribute this file to other units which use a similar configuration.

Supervisory Port Capabilities


All the LRS-102 supervision and configuration functions, and in particular the preliminary configuration activities, can be performed using a dumb ASCII terminal (or a PC running a terminal emulation program) directly connected to the LRS-102 serial RS-232 asynchronous supervisory port, located on its front panel. The terminal is controlled by the program stored in the LRS-102. No information has to be stored in the terminal. The supervisory port enables performing the preliminary configuration of the LRS-102. After the preliminary configuration is completed, LRS-102 can also be managed by the other means, for example, Telnet hosts and Web browsers. The supervisory port has a DCE interface, and supports data rates in the range of 9.6 to 115.2 kbps.

Out-of-Band Access via CL Ethernet Management Port


The CL modules have a CONTROL ETH port with a 10BASE-T/100BASE-TX Ethernet interface. This interface supports MDI/MDIX crossover, and therefore the port can always be connected through a straight (point-to-point) cable to any other type of 10/100BASE-T Ethernet port (hub or station). The CL Ethernet management port supports IP communications, using the host IP address of the LRS-102 management subsystem. The CONTROL ETH ports of both CL modules can be simultaneously connected to the same LAN, through standard Ethernet hubs or switches (see the CL Module Redundancy section below). To support out-of-band management, management stations, Telnet hosts, etc., can be attached to the same LAN, or to any LAN from which IP communication with the CL module Ethernet ports is possible.

Chapter 1 Introduction

CL Module Redundancy
Only one CL module is necessary per chassis, however the chassis has two slots dedicated to this type of module. The second slot can be used to install a redundant CL module of the same type, thereby providing a hot-standby capability for the LRS-102 system control functions. When a second CL module is installed, the two modules operate as a master/slave pair; one module is the active (online) module, and the other is off-line and serves as a hot standby. Only the online CL module accepts management communication through its interfaces and actively manages the LRS-102 system. The off-line CL module is automatically updated by the online module with all the configuration and status data, and therefore the off-line can take over at any time without disrupting system operation. The switchover to the off-line module occurs automatically upon detection of failure in the online module, or upon removing the online module from the chassis. The slave CL module communicates only with the online module. Moreover, the transmit line in the slave supervisory port connector is disabled, to enable physical connection in parallel (e.g., by means of a Y cable) to a supervision terminal or to a modem, and the CL Ethernet port is also disabled, and therefore the Ethernet connectors of the two CL modules can be simultaneously connected to the same LAN.

Performance Monitoring Statistics


LRS-102 management subsystem enables collecting performance data from the I/O modules installed in the chassis, thereby enabling the network operator to monitor the transmission performance and thus the quality of service provided to users, as well as identify transmission problems. Performance parameters for all the active entities are continuously collected during equipment operation.

Alarm Collection and Reporting


The LRS-102 management subsystem continuously monitors critical signals and signal processing functions on each module installed in the chassis, and also performs automatic self-test upon power-up. If a problem is detected, LRS-102 generates time-stamped alarm messages. The time stamp is provided by an internal real-time clock. For continuous system monitoring, the user can monitor alarm messages through the supervisory port. Alarm messages can also be automatically sent as traps to the user-specified network management stations. The alarms can be read on-line by the network administrator using a Telnet host, a Web browser, SNMP-based network management station, or a supervision terminal.

Note

The LRS-102 can also monitor one external sense input, and will report its activation as any other internally-detected alarm.
In addition to the alarm collection and reporting facility, the LRS-102 has two alarm relays with floating change-over contacts: one relay for indicating the presence of major alarms and the other for minor alarms. Each relay changes

Installation and Operation Manual

state whenever the first alarm is detected, and returns to its normal state when all the alarms of the corresponding severity disappear. The relay contacts can be used to report internal system alarms to outside indicators, e.g., lights, buzzers, bells, etc., located on a bay alarm or remote monitoring panel. To expedite the handling of alarms, the user can use several tools: Masking of alarm conditions, to prevent continuous reporting of known alarm conditions, e.g., during maintenance activities. Inversion of selected alarm indications provided to the local operator by the alarm indicators, and by the two alarm relays. Inverted alarms are ignored while they are present, therefore the user will be alerted only upon return to normal operation. Filtering of alarms, to prevent unnecessary reporting of alarms during marginal conditions, which cause frequent changes in alarm states.

Diagnostic Functions
LRS-102 management subsystem enables activating the diagnostic functions of the I/O modules installed in the chassis, and thus permits to efficiently locate the problem (in the LRS-102 chassis, one of LRS-102 modules, a connecting cable, or external equipment) and rapidly restore full service. The diagnostic functions are based on the activation of loopbacks at various ports. These loopbacks enable to identify whether a malfunction is caused by the LRS-102 or by an external system component (for example, an equipment unit, cable, or transmission path connected to the LRS-102). A detailed description of the test and loopback functions is given in Chapter 5, as well as in the Installation and Operation Manuals of each module.

Timing Subsystem
Internal Timing
Each I/O module installed in the LRS-102 chassis has its own independent timing subsystem, with an internal oscillator that can serve as its timing source. Some modules can also use other internal sources, for example, the recovered clock signal from a selected external E1 or T1 interface of the module (see the Installation and Operation Manual of each I/O module for details).

Station Timing (CLS.1 Modules only)


The optional CLS.1 modules include an external station clock interface, and a timing distribution subsystem that can supply the external clock signal received through the CLS.1 module CLOCK connectors to the LRS-102 I/O slots. The external clock signal is usually provided by a highly-accurate master clock source, which is often available in communication facilities (for example, a signal provided by a GPS-based timing source, an independent primary clock source, clock signals provided by an SDH/SONET ADM, or other suitable clock source). The clock signal frequency is user-selectable: 2.048 MHz, 2048 Mbps, or 1.544 Mbps. Therefore, as a future option, the user can configure I/O modules that can accept a timing reference signal from the LRS-102 timing distribution subsystem to

Chapter 1 Introduction

derive their timing from the external station clock, in addition to the module internal timing options. This permits hierarchical dissemination of timing throughout the communication systems, and ensures that a reliable, high quality timing source can be used even in case of transmission faults or equipment malfunctions. Each CLS.1 module can be connected to a separate station clock source, and therefore each module can provide a separate reference signal. Therefore, when both CLS.1 modules are connected to station clock sources, the station clock of CLS.1 module in slot CL-A is automatically selected as the master source, and that of the CLS.1 module in slot CL-B is selected as fallback source.

Station Clock Interface Characteristics (CLS.1 Modules only)


The station clock interface has an ITU-T Rec. G.703 interface. The clock interface (balanced/unbalanced) and sensitivity (long or short range) are user-selectable. The station clock interface also provides an output clock signal, for chaining applications. The source of the output clock is selectable: The external clock signal applied to the station clock interface. The external clock signal, after regeneration and filtering by a jitter attenuator (the recommended method) When no external clock signal is connected, the station clock interface can output the clock signal generated by an internal oscillator located on the CLS.1 module

The structure of the external clock interface provides a convenient way to distribute clock signals to several equipment units installed in close proximity, e.g., in the same equipment rack. To minimize waveform degradation, it is recommended to use high-quality shielded cables, as short as practical. Typically, the external clock interface connectors can be simply connected in a daisy-chain configuration. In this case, the clock source is connected to the external clock input in the station clock interface, and serves as the system (nodal) timing reference. The station output clock is configured to use the system timing as reference. The clock signal appearing at the external clock output is connected to the external clock input of the next LRS-102, and so on. To protect the other equipment, the station clock interface has a bypass relay that connects directly the input line to the output when the LRS-102 is not powered.

Power Supply Subsystem


PS Modules
LRS-102 can be ordered with either AC or DC power supply modules, as listed on page 1-7. Two PS modules can be installed in the chassis. Only one PS module is required to provide power to a fully equipped LRS-102, and therefore installing a second module provides redundancy. While both modules operate normally, they share the load; in case one fails or does not receive power, the other module continues

to provide power alone. Switch-over is thus automatic and does not disturb normal operation.

Feed Voltage Sources


LRS-102 PS modules support the connection of an external feed voltage source. The connection is made as follows: DC-powered PS modules derive the -48 VDC feed voltage from the DC input voltage. In addition, the power input connector also includes a +72 VDC input. This enables providing a 120 VDC feed voltage to I/O modules that require this capability. AC-powered PS modules have a separate connector for two feed voltages.

RAD offers the standalone Ringer-2200N unit, intended for installation in 19 racks, for providing the required feed voltages. For additional details, refer to the corresponding Installation and Operation Manual.

This Chapter provides installation instructions for the LRS-102. The Chapter presents the following information: General description of equipment enclosure and its panels. Mechanical and electrical installation instructions for the enclosure itself and for system modules, that is, PS and CL modules.

After installing the system, it is necessary to configure it in accordance with the specific user's requirements: The preliminary system configuration is always performed by means of a supervision terminal (procedures for using the terminal are given in Chapter 3). The software necessary for using the terminal is stored in the CL module: if the CL module is not yet loaded with the required software, refer to Appendix B for detailed software installation instructions. After the preliminary configuration, the system can also be managed by means of Telnet hosts, Web browsers, and/or SNMP-based network management stations.

Warning

Site Requirements and Prerequisites

Before connecting this product to a power source, make sure to read the Handling Energized Products section at the beginning of this manual.

Caution

LRS-102 PS modules which do not have a power ON/OFF switch start operating as soon as power is applied. Therefore, an external power ON/OFF switch is required (for example, the circuit breaker that protects the power line can also serve as an ON/OFF switch).

AC Power Requirements
AC-powered LRS-102 units should be installed within 1.5m (5 feet) of an easily-accessible grounded AC outlet capable of furnishing 110/115 or 230 VAC, (nominal), 50/60 Hz.

DC Power Requirements
DC-powered LRS-102 units require a -48 VDC (-36 to -72 VDC) power source.

Installation and Operation Manual

Caution For PS/DC and PS/AC modules:


1. Internal jumpers on the PS modules can be set to match operational requirements that need either the + (positive) or (negative) terminal of the DC power or feed voltage source to be grounded. The normal factory setting is for a source with the +(positive) terminal grounded (the power supply module jumpers are installed in the BGND=FGND and GND=FGND positions). When it is necessary to use a source with the (negative) terminal grounded, or a floating source, the jumpers must be disconnected (set to NO). In particular, check the position of jumpers in the PS/DC power supply module (see Figure 2-7) before connecting the supply voltage. Certain I/O modules may still cause BGND to be connected to FGND or GND, even after setting the jumpers to NO. Refer to the Installation and Operation Manuals of the modules installed in the chassis for proper setting of their ground-control jumpers. 2. If the LRS-102 chassis must be operated with floating ground, it may also be necessary to disconnect the ground reference on the power supply modules, and check the ground and shield wiring on the cables connected to the chassis. This may require replacing the cables with cables suitable to your specific application. For LRS-102-PS/DCLP modules, the positive DC input terminal is permanently connected to the ground conductor. LRS-102 chassis must always be connected to FGND (protective ground).

Payload Connection Requirements


For information regarding connections to port types not covered below, refer to the corresponding module Installation and Operation Manual.

Connections to E1 and T1 Ports


LRS-102 systems may be equipped with modules having external E1 and T1 ports. The maximum allowable line attenuation between a LRS-102 port and the network interface depends on the type of port interface, and therefore it is given in the Installation and Operation Manual of each specific module. The electrical E1 and T1 interfaces of LRS-102 modules must not be connected directly to unprotected public telecommunication networks. Use primary protectors in the MDF or IDF for additional protection. The balanced E1 and T1 ports located on LRS-102 OP-108C and OP-106C modules are terminated in 44-pin female D-type connectors. RAD offers special adapter cables for terminating the ports in standard RJ-45 connectors (see the module Installation and Operation Manuals).

Connections to Optical Ports


Optical ports located on I/O modules have sockets for installing the desired type of SFP transceiver. RAD offers SFPs that meet a wide range of system requirements, for example, SFPs with 850 or 1310 nm short-haul interfaces for use over multimode fibers, or 1310 and 1550 nm long-haul interfaces for use over single-mode fibers. SFP transceivers can also be installed in the field, by the customer, however RAD strongly recommends to order modules with preinstalled SFPs, as this enables performing full functional testing of equipment prior to shipping.

Optical Cable Requirements


The cables connected to LRS-102 optical ports should use 2-mm optical fibers terminated in the corresponding type of connectors. When routing fibers, make sure to observe the minimum bending radius (35 mm). RAD recommends installing plastic supports on each cable connector: these supports determine the fiber bending radius at the connector entry point and also prevent stress at this point.

Connections to Station Clock (Optional CLS.1 Modules Only)


The station clock port located on the CLS.1 module can accept 2.048 MHz or 1.544 MHz signals (framed 2.048 Mbps or 1.544 Mbps signals are also accepted). The port can also output the clock signal: this output provides a convenient means for distributing the station clock signals to other equipment. The station clock port is terminated in one RJ-45 connector, designated CLOCK, which supports two interfaces: 100 /120 balanced interface for operation over two twisted pairs 75 unbalanced interface for operation over coaxial cables. This interface can be used only for 2.048 MHz or 2.048 Mbps clock signals.

At any time, only one interface is active. The selection of the active interface is made automatically. The type cable connected to the port is automatically sensed: The cable used for connecting to equipment with balanced interface should include only two twisted pairs, one for the clock output and the other for the clock input.

Note

One of the contacts in the station clock connector is used to sense the connection of the unbalanced adapter cable (see Appendix A). Therefore, do not connect cables with more than two pairs when you want to use the balanced interface.
To connect to equipment with unbalanced interface, it is necessary to convert the CL RJ-45 connector to the standard pair of BNC female connectors used for unbalanced ITU-T Rec. G.703 interfaces. For this purpose, RAD offers a 15-cm long adapter cable, CBL-RJ45/2BNC/E1/X. This cable has one RJ-45 plug for connection to CLS.1 station clock connector, and two BNC female connectors at the other end.

Chapter 2 Installation and Setup

Installation and Operation Manual

Note

When using redundant CLS.1 modules and the station clock is used as timing reference, only one of the two station clock ports must be connected to a station clock source. For best protection, it is recommended to connect the two station ports to two separate station clock sources.

Management Connection Requirements


Ethernet Connections to CL Modules
The CL modules have 10BASE-T/100BASE-TX Ethernet interfaces terminated in RJ-45 connectors, designated CONTROL ETH. These interfaces support MDI/MDIX crossover and therefore the ports can always be connected through a straight (point-to-point) cable to any other type of 10/100BASE-T Ethernet port (hub or station).

Connection to Serial Port


The CL supervisory port has a serial RS-232 asynchronous DCE interface terminated in a 9-pin D-type female connector, designated CONTROL DCE. This port can be directly connected to terminals using a cable wired point-to-point. A cross cable is required to use the DTE mode, for example, for connection through modems or digital multiplexer channels.

Note

When using redundant CL modules, you can connect the terminal, respectively the modem, in parallel to the corresponding serial port connectors of the two modules by means of a simple Y-cable, because at any time only one serial port (that of the active module) is active. Ethernet ports of redundant CL modules do not require any special connections: each one can be connected to a separate Ethernet hub port.

Connections to Alarm Port


The alarm port is terminated in a 8-pin RJ-45 connector located on the CL module, designated ALARM. This port includes: Floating change-over dry-contact outputs for the major and minor alarm relays. The alarm relay contacts are rated at maximum 60 VDC/30 VAC across open contacts, and maximum 1 ADC through closed contacts (total load switching capacity of 60 W).

Caution

Protection devices must be used to ensure that the contact ratings are not exceeded. For example, use current limiting resistors in series with the contacts, and place voltage surge absorbers across the contacts. The relays are controlled by software, and therefore the default state (that is, the state during normal operation) can be selected by the user in accordance with the specific system requirements. External alarm sense input. The input accepts an RS-232 input signal.

Electromagnetic Compatibility Considerations


The LRS-102 is designed to comply with the electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) requirements of Sub-Part J of FCC Rules, Part 15, for Class A electronic equipment, and additional applicable standards. To meet these standards, it is necessary to perform the following actions: Connect the LRS-102 case to a low-resistance grounding system. Install blank panels to cover all empty slots. Appropriate blank panels can be ordered from RAD. Whenever possible, use shielded telecommunication cables.

Covering all empty slots is also required for reasons of personal safety.

Mounting the LRS-102 Unit

This section presents instructions for installing LRS-102 units. To help you familiarize with the equipment, it also presents a physical description of the LRS-102 versions.

Safety Precautions
No internal settings, adjustment, maintenance, and repairs may be performed by either the operator or the user; such activities may be performed only by a skilled technician who is aware of the hazards involved. Always observe standard safety precautions during installation, operation, and maintenance of this product.

Warning

Caution
LRS-102 modules contain components sensitive to electrostatic discharge (ESD). To prevent ESD damage, always hold the module by its sides, and do not touch the module components or connectors.

Caution
Delicate electronic components are installed on both sides of the printed circuit boards (PCBs) of the LRS-102 modules. To prevent physical damage: Always keep modules in their protective packaging until installed in the LRS-102 chassis, and return them to the packaging as soon as they are removed from the enclosure. Do not stack modules one above the other, and do not lay any objects on PCBs. When inserting a module into its chassis slot, align it carefully with the chassis slot guides, and then push it in gently. Make sure the module PCB does not touch the adjacent module, nor any part of the chassis. If resistance is felt before the module fully engages the mating backplane connector, retract the module, realign it with the slot guides and then insert again.

Grounding
For your protection and to prevent possible damage to equipment when a fault condition, e.g., a lightning stroke or contact with high-voltage power lines, occurs on the lines connected to the equipment, the LRS-102 case must be properly grounded (earthed) at any time. Any interruption of the protective (grounding) connection inside or outside the equipment, or the disconnection of the protective ground terminal can make this equipment dangerous. Intentional interruption is prohibited.

Mounting the LRS-102 Unit

LRS-102 Ver. 2.0

Installation and Operation Manual

Chapter 2 Installation and Setup

Dangerous voltages may be present on the electrical cables connected to the LRS-102 and its modules.

Warning

Never connect cables to LRS-102 if not properly installed and grounded. Disconnect all the cables connected to the electrical connectors of the LRS-102 before disconnecting its grounding connection. Before connecting any other cable and before applying power to this equipment, the protective ground (earth) terminal of the equipment must be connected to protective ground. LRS-102 grounding terminals are located on the LRS-102 PS module panels. Whenever LRS-102 units are installed in a rack, make sure that the rack is properly grounded and connected to a reliable, low-resistance grounding system, because the rack can also provide a connection to ground. In addition, the grounding connection is also made through each one of the AC power cables. Therefore, the AC power cable plug must always be inserted in a socket outlet provided with a protective ground.

Protection against ESD


An electrostatic discharge occurs between two objects when an object carrying static electrical charges touches, or is brought near enough, the other object. Static electrical charges appear as result of friction between surfaces of insulating materials, separation of two such surfaces and may also be induced by electrical fields. Routine activities such as walking across an insulating floor, friction between garment parts, friction between objects, etc., can easily build charges up to levels that may cause damage, especially when humidity is low.

Caution LRS-102 modules contain components sensitive to electrostatic discharge (ESD).


To prevent ESD damage, always hold a module by its sides, and do not touch the module components or connectors. If you are not using a wrist strap, before touching a module, it is recommended to discharge the electrostatic charge of your body by touching the frame of a grounded equipment unit. Whenever feasible, during installation works use standard ESD protection wrist straps to discharge electrostatic charges. It is also recommended to use garments and packaging made of antistatic materials or materials that have high resistance, yet are not insulators.

Proper Handling of Modules


LRS-102 modules include small components installed on both sides of the printed circuit boards. These components are exposed as long as the modules are not installed in the chassis, are therefore may be unintentionally damaged. To prevent physical damage to modules: 1. Always keep the modules in their protective shipping containers until installed in the chassis. These containers also protect against ESD.

Chapter 2 Installation and Setup

PS modules which do not include a power on/off switch will start operating as soon as power is applied. It is recommended to use an external power on/off switch, for example, the circuit breaker used to protect the supply line to the LRS-102 may also serve as the on/off switch. The PS modules support the connection of an optional external feed voltage source, e.g., a Ringer-2200N standalone unit offered by RAD, to support I/O modules that require this option: The AC-powered PS versions have a separate connector, designated VDC-IN for external -48 VDC and +72 VDC voltages (this results in a 120 V feed voltage). The connection of an additional +72 VDC voltage to the 48 V DC-powered PS versions is made through the VDC-IN input connector. The DC feed voltage is derived from the DC input voltage, and therefore has the same voltage and polarity.

The PS modules have a miniature cooling fan on the front panel. Make sure to keep the fan opening free of obstructions.

Internal Jumpers
The PS modules include two internal jumpers that control the connection of frame ground to the internal ground lines.

Caution

If the LRS-102 chassis must be operated with floating ground, it may also be necessary to disconnect the ground reference on all the installed modules and check the ground and shield wiring on the cables connected to the chassis. This may require changing the hardware settings on the installed modules and appropriate cables. Special ordering options with preconfigured settings are available. Contact your local distributor for more information. The jumpers of a typical PS module (PS/DC and PS/AC) are identified in Figure 2-7.

Jumper designated GND=FGND. This jumper controls the connection between the internal signal ground and the frame (enclosure) ground. The module is normally delivered with the jumper set to YES. If necessary, you can set the jumper to NO to float the signal ground with respect to the frame ground. Jumper designated BGND=FGND. This jumper controls the connection between the positive (+) line of the external 48 VDC voltage and the frame (enclosure) ground. The module is normally delivered with the jumper set to YES. If necessary, you can set the jumper to NO to float the external 48 VDC positive line with respect to the frame ground.

Note

PS/DC and PS/AC modules can also use a positive supply voltage. In this case, always disconnect BGND from FGND (set the jumper to NO).
If two power supply modules are installed, make sure that the internal jumpers are set to the same position on both modules.

Caution Certain I/O modules may still cause BGND to be connected to FGND or GND, even
after setting the jumpers to NO. Refer to the Installation and Operation Manuals of the modules installed in the chassis for proper setting of their ground-control jumpers.

Installing a PS Module
Do not connect the power and/or feed voltage cable(s) to a PS module before it is inserted in the LRS-102 chassis, and disconnect the cable(s) from the module before it is removed from the chassis. 1. Insert the PS module in the PS-A slot, and fasten it with the two screws. 2. Connect the power cable. 3. If an additional redundant module is used, install it in the PS-B slot.

Warning

Note

You can install a redundant module in an operating enclosure without turning the LRS-102 power off. In this case:
First insert the module in its slot Connect its power cable.

Removing a PS Module
1. Disconnect the power cable(s) connected to the module. 2. Release the two module screws. 3. Pull the PS module out.

To install a CL module: 1. Check that the two fastening screws of the module are free to move. 2. Insert the CL module in its chassis slot, and slide it backward as far as it goes. 3. Simultaneously press the extractor handles toward the center of the module to fully insert its rear connector into the mating connector on the backplane. 4. Secure the CL module by tightening its two screws.

Removing a CL Module
To remove a CL module: 1. Fully release the two screws fastening the module to the chassis. 2. Simultaneously push the extractor handles outward, to disengage the rear connector. 3. Pull the module out.

Replacing a CL Module During Equipment Operation - LRS-102 Chassis with two CL Modules
In a LRS-102 equipped with two good CL modules, the standby module can be removed/replaced with minimal disruption of LRS-102 services: when you replace the on-line CL module, the LRS-102 will automatically switch to the standby module, provided that module is OK. You can identify the active and standby modules by their ON LINE indicators.

Caution

To prevent service disruption, check that the ON LINE indicator of the CL module you want to remove is flashing. If not, use the supervisory terminal (or any other management facility) to reset the module to be replaced, and wait for execution of this command before continuing: this will cause the LRS-102 to flip to the other CL module within 50 msec. To flip to the other CL module using the supervision terminal: 1. Identify the on-line CL module: this is the module with the lit ON LINE indicator. 2. Whenever possible, connect the supervision terminal directly to the CONTROL DCE connector of the on-line CL module, and log in as administrator. 3. Use the Configuration > System > Reset Device screen to send a reset command to the module to be replaced.

4. Wait for the flipping to be executed. After it is executed, the ON LINE indicator of the CL module the supervision terminal is connected to starts flashing, while that of the other module stops flashing and lights steadily.

Note

The command will not be executed if a fault is detected in the module that is to become the on-line module. In this case, the ON LINE indicators state will not change.
5. You can now disconnect the supervision terminal, and remove the module. 6. After installing again a CL module in the slot of the removed module, you may cause flipping to the original module by resetting the current on-line CL module.

Replacing a CL Module During Equipment Operation - LRS-102 Chassis with Single CL Module
If the only CL module in the chassis is replaced, LRS-102 services may be disrupted to some extent while no CL module is present. Therefore, be prepared and perform the replacement as rapidly as possible. In a LRS-102 equipped with a single CL module, before replacing the CL module it is recommended that a good CL module of the same type be installed in the free CL slot. The replacement can be temporary. In this case, after inserting the additional CL module, first it is necessary to let it update its database from the information provided by the existing CL module: 1. If necessary, program the additional module in the LRS-102 database. 2. Enter the database update command, %, and then wait until the alarm CL DB CHECKSUM IS DIFFERENT is off. 3. At this stage, continue in accordance with the steps listed above for a LRS-102 with two CL modules. Among other steps, make sure to upload the existing configuration database to a host, using TFTP. After replacement is completed, download the database to the new CL module, to continue normal operation in accordance with the previous configuration.

Installing I/O Modules


Install each I/O module in the prescribed I/O slot, in accordance with the installation plan. For installation instructions, refer to the corresponding I/O module Installation and Operation Manual.

Installing Blank Panels

Connect a short, thick copper braid between the grounding screw on each PS module panel and a nearby grounding point.

Connecting to Power
Caution LRS-102 does not have a power on/off switch. Therefore, when LRS-102 is
equipped with PS modules without power on/off switch, it will start operating as soon as power is applied to at least one of its PS modules. It is recommended to use an external power on/off switch to control the connection of power to the LRS-102. For example, the circuit breaker used to protect the supply line to the LRS-102 may also serve as the on/off switch. Power should be connected only after completing cable connections. Connect the power cable(s) first to the connector on the PS module, and then to the power outlet. For DC cables, pay attention to polarity.

Note

When redundant power supply modules are used, it is recommended to connect the power cables to outlets powered by different circuits.

Connecting to External Feed Voltages


When modules that require up to 120 V feed voltage are installed in the LRS-102, the recommended source for external voltages is the Ringer-2200N offered by RAD. The Ringer-2200N is a standalone unit intended for rack mounting, capable of providing power for up to twenty DSL channels. Refer to the Ringer-2200N Installation and Operation Manual for connection instructions.

Connecting to CL Module Management and Supervision Ports


To connect to the CONTROL DCE port: The connections to the CONTROL DCE connector are made as follows: Connection to a supervision terminal with 9-pin connector: by means of a straight cable (a cable wired point-to-point).

Connecting Cables to Optical Ports


Laser Safety
LRS-102 modules may be equipped with a laser diode. In such cases, a label with the laser class and other warnings as applicable will be attached near the optical transmitter. The laser warning symbol may be also attached. For your safety: Before turning on the equipment, make sure that the fiber optic cable is intact and is connected to the optical transmitter. Do not use broken or unterminated fiber-optic cables/connectors. Do not look straight at the laser beam, and do not directly into the optical connectors while the unit is operating. Do not attempt to adjust the laser drive current. The use of optical instruments with this product will increase eye hazard. Laser power up to 1 mW could be collected by an optical instrument. Use of controls or adjustment or performing procedures other than those specified herein may result in hazardous radiation exposure. ATTENTION: The laser beam may be invisible! LRS-102 modules equipped with laser devices provided by RAD comply with laser product performance standards set by governmental agencies for Class 1 laser products. The modules do not emit hazardous light, and the beam is totally enclosed during all operating modes of customer operation and maintenance. In some cases, the users may insert their own SFP laser transceivers into LRS-102 modules. Users are alerted that RAD cannot be held responsible for any damage that may result if non-compliant transceivers are used. In particular, users are warned to use only agency approved products that comply with the local laser safety regulations for Class 1 laser products. Wherever applicable, LRS-102 modules are shipped with protective covers installed on all the optical connectors. Do not remove these covers until you are ready to connect optical cables to the connectors. Keep the covers for reuse, to reinstall the cover over the optical connector as soon as the optical cable is disconnected.

Warning

Connection Instructions
The optical fibers intended for connection to modules of a LRS-102 installed in a rack should pass through fiber spoolers, located at the top or bottom of the rack, in accordance with the site routing arrangements (overhead or under-the-floor routing). The spoolers must contain enough fiber for routing within the rack up to the corresponding module optical connectors, and for fiber replacement in case of damage (splicing repairs). From the spoolers, the optical fibers should be routed through cable guides running along the sides of the rack frame to the level of the equipment to which they connect. When connecting optical cables, make sure to prevent cable twisting and avoid sharp bends (unless otherwise specified by the optical cable manufacturer, the
LRS-102 Ver. 2.0 Connecting to LRS-102 2-23

Chapter 2 Installation and Setup

Installation and Operation Manual

minimum fiber bending radius is 35 mm). Always leave some slack, to prevent stress. RAD recommends installing plastic supports on each cable connector: these supports determine the fiber bending radius at the connector entry point and also prevent stress at this point.

Caution

Make sure all the optical connectors are closed at all times by the appropriate protective caps, or by the mating cable connector. Do not remove the protective cap until an optical fiber is connected to the corresponding connector, and immediately install a protective cap after a cable is disconnected. Before installing optical cables, it is recommended to clean thoroughly their connectors using an approved cleaning kit. To connect optical cables to LRS-102 optical ports: 1. For each optical interface, refer to the site installation plan and identify the cables intended for connection to the SFP serving the corresponding interface. 2. Where two fibers are used, pay attention to TX and RX connections, and leave enough slack to prevent strain: Connect the prescribed transmit fiber (connected to the receive input of the remote equipment) to the TX connector of the SFP. Connect the prescribed receive fiber (connected to the transmit output of the remote equipment) to the RX connector of the SFP serving the same interface.

Connecting Coaxial Cables to LRS-102 Patch Panel


The optional BNC patch panel offered by RAD for connecting to the links of modules with unbalanced E1 interfaces is equipped with two BNC connectors for each channel. To connect coaxial cables to the patch panel: 1. For each electrical interface, identify the cables intended for connection to this interface in accordance with the site installation plan. 2. Connect the prescribed coaxial transmit cable (connected to the receive input of the remote equipment) to the TX connector of the interface. 3. Connect the prescribed coaxial receive cable (connected to the transmit output of the remote equipment) to the RX connector of the same interface.

3.1

Turning LRS-102 On

When turning the LRS-102 on, it is useful to monitor the power-up sequence. You can monitor the power-up sequence using any standard ASCII terminal (dumb terminal or personal computer emulating an ASCII terminal) equipped with an RS-232 communication interface (same terminal that can be used to control the LRS-102 operation). To monitor the LRS-102: 1. Configure the terminal for 115.2 kbps, one start bit, eight data bits, no parity, and one stop bit. 2. Select the full-duplex mode, echo off, and disable any type of flow control. Make sure to use VT-100 terminal emulation: using a different terminal type will cause display problems, for example, the cursor will not be located at the proper location, text may appear jumbled, etc. To prepare the LRS-102 for first-time turn-on: 1. Before first-time turn-on, inspect LRS-102 installation and check that the required cable connections have been correctly performed in accordance with Chapter 2. 2. To monitor the LRS-102 during power up and to perform preliminary configuration procedures, connect a terminal to the CONTROL DCE connector of the CL module installed in LRS-102 slot CL-A (this module will be, by default, the active CL module). Use a straight (point-to-point) cable.

Configuration and Management Alternatives

The LRS-102 configuration activities can be performed by means of the following: Supervision terminal Telnet Web browser, using the ConfiguRAD utility SNMP-based network management systems, e.g., the RADview network management system (refer to the RADview User's Manual for instructions).

Note

LRS-102 also supports SNMPv3, which provides authentication and privacy capabilities that replace the basic SNMP community-based authentication available under SNMPv1.
The user can select whether to enable management by means of Telnet, SNMP, and/or Web browsers: only the supervision terminal is always able to configure the LRS-102. The capabilities of all the options listed above are similar, except that before using Telnet, Web browsers, and/or network management stations, it is necessary to perform preliminary configuration using the supervision terminal. The LRS-102 supports simultaneous management sessions: it is users responsibility to prevent access conflicts and configuration errors that may occur when multiple users simultaneously access the same equipment.

Access Levels for Configuration and Management


LRS-102 supports three access levels, which determine the functions the users can perform using supervisory terminals, Telnet hosts, and Web browsers.

Note

When SNMPv3 security features are enabled, the term user refers to an SNMP management station using part, or all of the SNMPv3 security features, and the users authorizations are determined by configuring the parameters related to the view-based security model (VACM) aspect of SNMPv3. Refer to Section 0 and Chapter 4 for details.

Notes

The password is not case-sensitive. If the administrator password has been changed and is not known, contact

RAD Technical Support Department for help.

Working with Supervision Terminal


Configuration activities are performed by means of an ASCII terminal (or a PC running a terminal emulation program) directly connected to one of the CL CONTROL DCE connectors. A supervision terminal also permits performing the preliminary configuration activities that enable other types of management access. Any standard ASCII terminal (dumb terminal or personal computer emulating an ASCII terminal) equipped with an RS-232 communication interface can be used to configure and control the LRS-102 operation. The software necessary to run the LRS-102 supervision program is contained in the LRS-102 CL modules. Moreover, the LRS-102 CL modules store all the configuration information generated or altered during the communication with the terminal: no information is stored in the terminal.

Note

For proper display of screens on terminals, you must: 1. Select a fixed-pitch system font for the display. Use your operating system documentation to find how to select a proper font. 2. Configure the terminal utility to use VT-100 terminal emulation. If you are using the Hyper Terminal utility available with Windows(), configure the utility to use the 132-column mode (Properties > Settings > Terminal Setup > 132 column mode).
To log in with a supervision terminal: 1. Connect a terminal to one of the LRS-102 CONTROL DCE connectors. 2. If necessary, turn the LRS-102 on as described in Section 3.1.

Note

The CONTROL DCE port default data rate can be configured for any standard

rate in the range of 0.3 to 115.2 kbps (the factory-default data rate is 115.2 kbps).

If the terminal is configured to use a word format differing from the CONTROL

DCE port (one start bit, 8 data bits, no parity and one stop bit), you may see only random strings of characters, or there will be no response to the pressing of the <Enter> key. Make sure you use the correct word format.

3.

Preliminary Configuration Sequence


The purpose of the preliminary configuration session is to prepare the minimal set of parameters needed to manage the LRS-102 using a supervision terminal. During preliminary configuration, you can also enable access by Telnet hosts and Web browsers. However, after the preliminary configuration, management access is possible only by hosts that are attached to a LAN directly connected to the CONTROL ETH (Ethernet) port of the active CL module, or at a remote location from which IP communication to the CL module Ethernet ports is possible.

Note

To enable management access to the LRS-102 from any relevant location, it is necessary to fully configure the LRS-102: only full configuration can permit management traffic to reach the LRS-102 via inband paths.
The steps usually included in the preliminary configuration, as necessary when starting from the factory defaults, are described in Table 3-3. For detailed operating instructions, refer to the Chapter 4 section describing each activity.

Configuring LRS-102 via Supervisory Terminal


LRS-102 operating mode, and all of its functions, are controlled by a set of configuration parameters organized as a database, which is stored in the flash memory on the LRS-102 CL module. The parameters in the database are selected by the user in accordance with the requirements of each specific application. To provide a starting point for the user, RAD provide a fixed set of factory-default parameters. The factory defaults are not modified by user configuration activities, and therefore these factory-defaults can be reloaded whenever needed. The preparation of the desired set of configuration parameters is made in accordance with a set of rules, which together form the LRS-102 supervision utility, or user interface. The supervision utility is used to communicate with the central control subsystem of the LRS-102 located in the CL modules, using a supervision terminal connected to the control port of the CL module. The same user interface can also be used by Telnet hosts. An alternative way to change the configuration parameters is by means of a Web browser.

Preparing New Configuration Parameters


Normally, only one database is needed to store the configuration parameters; when necessary, one or more additional databases with alternative configurations may also be prepared and stored in the LRS-102 flash memory. LRS-102 databases are assigned index numbers in the range of 1 to 10. At any time, one of the stored databases (the database assigned index number 1) serves as the active (online) database, and it is also the database automatically loaded upon power-up. Since the active database is stored in flash memory, the latest configuration parameters are always available upon power-up. During the preparation of configuration parameters, the central control subsystem of the LRS-102 dedicates a section of its RAM, called editing buffer, to this process. The editing buffer contains a copy of a user-selected database (any of the databases stored by the LRS-102, including the currently-active database), and only this copy is modified by the commands entered by the user. Therefore, you can make configuration changes and cancel them as required without affecting the traffic flow through the LRS-102. Any changes to configuration parameters remain temporary, and thus are lost if LRS-102 is powered off or reset, until they are saved to one of the databases in LRS-102 flash memory. You can decide in which database to save the changes: this also determines whether the changes take effect immediately or not. Two options are available: Normally, changes are saved to the active, or online, database. In this case, the changes are also automatically activated, that is, LRS-102 starts using the new parameters. As mentioned above, the number of the active database is always 1, irrespective of the number of the database loaded into the edit buffer as a basis for changes. Alternatively, you can specify the number of another database, using the Update DB command, in which to store the edit buffer contents. If the database whose index is specified in the Update DB command is not yet stored in the flash memory, a database with this index number is created and the edit buffer contents are stored in it.

Note

The storage space used by databases increases after each change. Sometimes, the remaining storage space is not sufficient to save the updated database, and you will see Save of Configuration File Failed. In this case, it is necessary to delete unused databases.
Note that alternative databases may be assigned any desired number, except 1, because 1 is reserved for the active database. When preparing alternative databases, it is convenient to change the default database, that is, the database which is updated when you use the shortcut % - DB Update: If you do not select a specific default database, the shortcut updates the active database (database 1). If you specify another database stored in the flash memory as default, the shortcut updates the default database. In this case, after preparing the alternative database, it is recommended to return the default to database 1.

Chapter 3 Operation

Validity Checks
The LRS-102 control subsystem automatically checks the validity of each new subset of parameters selected by the user as soon as an attempt to save them is made, alerts the user to potential conflicts, and rejects erroneous selections. The sanity check is performed on the configuration parameters stored in the editing buffer. This function provides messages which help identify incomplete configuration, unconnected timeslots, conflicting parameters, inconsistent selection of related parameter values, etc., so that the parameters can be corrected before proceeding. Only after all the validity and sanity checks are successfully passed, can the user save the new (or modified) set of configuration parameters as a database (this is made by means of the Update DB command). If the new set is saved under the number of the active configuration database, the LRS-102 system will start operating in accordance with the new configuration. Since the last validated sets of configuration parameters are stored in flash memory, LRS-102 configuration is not affected when the power is turned off. However, any changes not yet saved are lost if the LRS-102 is reset or powered down.

LRS-102 Power-up Process


Upon turn-on, the LRS-102 central control subsystem always loads database 1, and checks the validity of the configuration data. If everything is OK, it loads the data into the working memory and reconfigures the system accordingly. Therefore, the LRS-102 is ready for operation in accordance with the last configuration stored in database 1 immediately after power is applied. If necessary, after power-up another database can be loaded by means of the Load DB command, and then activated by means of the shortcut % - DB Update. This database will be assigned index number 1 (that is, will become database 1). If the configuration data is not valid, the database will not be activated; instead, a database with factory-default values will be activated. This database will be assigned index number 1 (that is, will become database 1). After the operating parameters have been loaded, a process called configuration set-up, the LRS-102 no longer requires operator attendance.

Organization of Terminal Screens


The LRS-102 is managed via a simple, menu-driven utility that uses a basic terminal user interface. Figure 3-4 shows a typical utility screen with most types of terminal user interface items.

Each screen includes the following main items (refer to Figure 3-4 for typical appearance): Header: identifies the device being configured (LRS-102). Status indicator: status indicators may appear in the top right-hand corner to indicate one or more of the following conditions: Alarm Indicator (e.g., MAJ): indicates highest severity of the alarm conditions present in the LRS-102. B followed by a three-digit number: indicates the number of messages currently stored in the alarm buffer. B000 means that no messages are currently in the buffer: this generally occurs only after clearing alarms. ERROR: displayed after the user action is rejected, for example, because of an invalid selection or out-of-range value. The indicator disappears after a valid action is performed. Work area: includes a description of the screen, followed by the items available for the current screen. Each selectable item has its own number. The screen description identifies the screen (in this example: Link), and also displays navigation data, that is, the path through the LRS-102 menu structure that has been traversed to reach this screen (Configuration > Physical Layer > I/O > I/O 1 > Link). If the full path is too long, its beginning is truncated, in which case an ellipsis appears. In addition, the work area includes the terminal prompt, >. The item number you type appears to the right of the prompt. The lower part of the work area is also used to display a concise explanation of the available options and prompts regarding the actions available to you. It may also display messages that request you to confirm operations such as configuration changes, resetting, etc., or alerts that errors have been detected during the evaluation of the parameters selected by you (in this case, you will see a $ Sanity option).

% DB Update, # DB Undo : after you make a configuration change, you must either save it in one of the databases, or undo (cancel) it. When you press the % hotkey, the changes are saved to the default database, which is usually database 1, unless you selected a different default database. Changes that have been saved to a database using the Update DB command will take effect only after that database is selected as active database.

Save: after you make configuration changes on certain screens, you must temporarily save the changes in the edit buffer, or undo (cancel). Changes that have been saved can take effect only after the current database is updated. The indication that changes have been made is provided by the appearance of the S Save item in the bottom line of the configuration screen. After saving, the S Save item disappears.

Bottom line: displays the keys used for navigation. ESC ! & @ ? returns to the previous screen (not relevant for main menu) returns directly to the main menu (not relevant for main menu) ends the utility and displays the log-in screen again. increases the area dedicated to the on line display. displays additional help specific to the current screen.

In addition, the number of management connections (C) and the number of managers (M) currently connected to the LRS-102 is shown at the lower right-hand corner (in Figure 3-4, this is 1 manager via one management connection). The managers number indicates the total number of management sessions active at the instant the screen was displayed, irrespective of type (terminal, Telnet, SNMP or Web browser). If no user is logged in, the number of managers is 0. The last two rows are reserved for displaying the last two alarms, or user prompts.

Note

It is normal to see at least a RESET OCCURRED event after power up. If not all of the LRS-102 ports are connected to operating equipment, you may also see alarms reporting loss of signals, etc.

General Supervision Terminal Operating Procedures


How to use the terminal to perform a desired activity: To select a menu item, type the corresponding line number and then press <Enter>. This will either display a submenu or a parameter selection screen or let you type the (free text) parameter value in the same row or

toggle the current value of the corresponding parameter (relevant to ENABLE/DISABLE or ON/OFF selections). The type of response to be expected after selecting a menu item is indicated as follows: > ... Nothing Selecting that item will display a submenu or a parameter selection screen (see for example item 6 in Figure 3-4). Selecting that item will let you type the desired value in the same line (see for example item 1 in Figure 3-4). When neither symbol is displayed, selecting that item will toggle the current selection, now shown in brackets (for example, this will change ENABLE to DISABLE or vice versa).

When a menu does not fit on one screen (because it includes too many lines), it is displayed on two consecutive pages. In this case, you will see (N) after the last line on the first page and (P) before the first line on the second page: While on the first page, press N to display the second page While on the second page, press P to return to the first page.

When a configuration screen is organized as a table, a special set of keys is used for navigation within the table (such screens always have a ? (help) option that displays these keys). The following keys may be used for navigation within tables: Left Arrow () move to the left Down Arrow () move down ^D scroll down F next Right arrow () move to the right Up Arrow () move up ^U scroll up B previous

In addition, the following shortcuts are also available: Tab select the next cell that may be changed M switch to the menu mode G followed by <row number>,<col number> select a specific cell. For example, type G2,5 to select the fifth cell in the second row. The current value of a parameter is listed within parentheses ( ). To change a parameter value on a parameter selection screen: Type the line number corresponding to the desired value, and then press <Enter> To enter a value which requires free text entry, type in the desired string and then press <Enter>. Use backspace to erase the current string. Note that whenever applicable, the allowed range of values of a parameter is listed within square brackets [ ]. The entry is checked after pressing <Enter>, and it is accepted only if it is valid. If you make an error, for example, if you press a key not active on the

current screen or select an invalid parameter value, an ERROR indicator appears in the upper right-hand corner. This indicator disappears as soon as you make a correct operation. When done with the current screen, press ESC to return to the previous screen, or type ! to return directly to the main menu.

Saving Changes to the Configuration Database


To save all the pending changes, type % (DB Update). You will be prompted to confirm: type y to continue or n to cancel. After confirming, the new database takes effect immediately. You will see the message Configuration File Update is in Process while the database is saved in the CL module flash memory.

Note

If you save the changes to the default database, the changes will be activated, that is, the operation mode of the LRS-102 changes in accordance with the new parameters values. In this case, press <Enter> several times in sequence to reestablish communication with the LRS-102.
To undo (cancel) all the as-yet unsaved changes, type # DB Undo and then confirm. Any unsaved changes are lost when the LRS-102 is powered down.

Ending a Terminal Configuration Session


To end the current terminal session: Type & and then press <Enter>. In addition, LRS-102 will automatically terminate the current session after no activity is detected for a user-selected time-out interval (default 3 minutes, can be increased to 10 minutes). The automatic session termination can however be disabled. The time-out option is selected using Configuration > System > Control Port > Serial Port > Security Timeout. After a session is ended, it is necessary to enter again a valid user name and password to start a new session.

Working with Telnet


Typically, the Telnet host is a PC or a UNIX station with the appropriate suite of TCP/IP protocols. To enable a Telnet host to communicate, it is necessary to configure the IP address of the LRS-102 management subsystem. After this preliminary configuration, you can use a Telnet host directly connected to the CONTROL ETH port of the active or standby CL module in the managed LRS-102 to perform additional configuration tasks. However, after configuring the communication parameters of the LRS-102 management subsystem, you may also use a Telnet host located at a remote site, the only requirement being that IP communication be established between the LAN serving that site and the LAN connected to the LRS-102 CONTROL ETH port. For inband Telnet access via Ethernet ports of I/O modules, you also need to configure the dedicated management (MNG) flow.

General Telnet Operating Procedures


Telnet uses the terminal utility screens for configuration. The only difference is that Telnet management access is possible only after performing a preliminary configuration of the LRS-102 (see Table 3-3). To prepare for using Telnet: 1. Configure the LRS-102 host IP address.

2. Enable Telnet access using Configuration > System > Management > Mng Access > Telnet.

Working with Web Browsers


You may use any Web browser to access the LRS-102 supervision utility from any location that enables access to the LRS-102 using Internet protocols, for example: Internet Explorer 6.0 and up, running on Windows Netscape Communicator 7.0 and up, running on Windows, HPOV or Linux Firefox 1.0.4 and up, running on Windows Mozilla 1.4.3 and up, running on Linux.

However, before using Web access, it is necessary to perform a preliminary configuration of the LRS-102 (see Table 3-3).

Guidelines for Using Web Browsers


When using a Web browser, pay attention to the following points: Enable scripts Configure the firewall that is probably installed on your PC to allow access to the destination IP address (that is, the LRS-102 management address) Disable pop-up blocking software (such as Google Popup Blocker); you may also have to configure your spyware/adware protection program to accept traffic from/to the destination IP address. Browsers store the last viewed pages in a special cache. To prevent configuration errors, it is absolutely necessary to flush the browsers cache whenever you return to the same screen.

Preparations for Using Web Browsers


To prepare for using Web access: 1. Configure the LRS-102 host IP address and all the IP communication parameters (use the Configuration > System>Management > Host IP screen). 2. Enable Web browser access using Configuration > System > Management> Mng Access> WEB.

General Web Browser Operating Procedures


Before starting, obtain the LRS-102 management (host) IP address. 1. Open the Web browser.

2. Enter the IP address of the LRS-102 in the address field of the browser in the following format: http://IP address (IP address stands for the actual LRS-102 IP address). 3. After entering the address, press <Enter> to command the browser to connect. 4. After the opening window of the ConfiguRAD utility is displayed, click LOGIN. 5. Perform log-in as described above for the supervision terminal. 6. You will see the main ConfiguRAD menu. 7. Use standard browser operating procedures to perform the desired activities.

Navigating the ConfiguRAD Menus


ConfiguRAD is a Web-based remote access terminal management software. It provides a user-friendly interface for configuring, monitoring and performing diagnostic tests on the LRS-102 units. To choose an option: 1. Click a link in the ConfiguRAD screen to display the next menu. 2. Once the target screen is displayed, select a value from the drop-down box or enter it in a text box. 3. At the left-hand bottom corner, ConfiguRAD provides some auxiliary management tools: Status shows the number of users currently managing LRS-102 Trace opens an additional pane for system messages, progress indicators (ping, software and configuration file downloads) and alarms. It is recommended to keep the trace pane open all the time. Refresh All refreshes all ConfiguRAD display elements.

Working with SNMP Management Stations


Support for SNMP Management
LRS-102 can be configured by any SNMP-based network management station, including third-party network management stations, provided IP communication is possible with the management station. LRS-102 supports several management information bases (MIBs). A MIB (Management Information Base) is a hierarchically-organized database of managed objects, where each characteristic of the element to be managed is defined as an object in the MIB. LRS-102 support the following standard MIBs: IANAifType-MIB (ifType table) RFC4188 (bridge MIB) RFC3418 (SNMPv2 MIB)

SNMPv3 definitions are covered in RFC 3413 to RFC 3418.

LRS-102 also support the RAD private MIB. Additional MIB information can be obtained from your local RAD Authorized Business Partner. For information on traps, see Chapter 6.

Preparing for SNMP Management


To enable SNMP management, it is necessary to enable SNMP access, and configure the minimal SNMP management parameters. The required parameters depend on the required security level: To prepare for SNMP management without SNMPv3 security features: 1. If necessary, configure SNMPv3 to Disabled. If the previous state has been Enabled, you will be requested to confirm. 2. If necessary, configure the LRS-102 host IP address.

Note

When the SNMP station is not on a LAN directly connected to a LRS-102 CONTROL ETH port, it is necessary to configure all the IP communication parameters appearing on the Configuration > System > Management > Host IP screen.
3. Configure the SNMP community names on the Host IP screen. 4. Enable SNMP access using Configuration > System > Management > Mng Access > SNMP.

You can find a complete collection of supervision utility navigation maps in Chapter 3. For your convenience, the relevant navigation map also appears in the beginning section of each main configuration activity. The configuration instructions are presented in the order the configuration activities are performed when a new LRS-102 is prepared for service (see Chapter 5 for a detailed configuration sequence). The information appearing in this Chapter assumes that you are familiar with the general operating instructions for the supervision utility, as described in Chapter 3. However, after performing the preliminary configuration of the LRS-102 in accordance with Chapter 3, the same configuration activities can also be performed by means of a Telnet host or Web browser. If you configure LRS-102 for SNMP management as explained in this Chapter, SNMP management stations using the appropriate SNMP version and compatible parameters will also be able to configure and manage LRS-102 units.

Managing LRS-102 Configuration Databases

Before starting configuration activities, it is important to understand the LRS-102 database tools (reached from the DB Tools menu), used to manage LRS-102 databases. Normally, only one database is needed to store the LRS-102 configuration parameters. However, LRS-102 can store a few databases in the CL module flash memory, and therefore, when necessary, it is possible to prepare additional databases with alternative configurations, and store them in the LRS-102 flash memory for immediate availability. LRS-102 databases are assigned index numbers in the range of 1 to 10. Therefore, the following terms are used in respect to LRS-102 databases: Online database file: one database file, which is always assigned index number 1, serves as the current online (active) database. This is the file from which parameters have been downloaded to the LRS-102 modules, and therefore it determines the current LRS-102 operation configuration. All the other database files are simply stored in the flash memory. These files may have been created by the user using the database tools or the file system utilities, or received by TFTP from a remote host or management station.

A copy of the online database is normally loaded into the CL module edit buffer. The contents of the edit buffer are preserved until the LRS-102 is powered down: on the next power-up, the edit buffer is again loaded with a copy of the online database and therefore any unsaved changes are lost. Any authorized user (including operators of management stations, etc.) can work on the edit buffer without affecting the online database, for example: Make changes to the database copy located in the edit buffer Replace the edit buffer contents with the factory defaults Load into the edit buffer another database file, thus also replacing the current contents with new contents.

A desired database can be created or updated by a dedicated Update DB command, which performs the following actions: 1. Initiates a sanity check on the edit buffer contents, and reports errors and warnings. 2. If no errors are detected, saves the edit buffer contents to a specified database (the database number is selected by the user). Normally, changes are saved to the active, or online, database. In this case, after successfully saving the buffer contents to flash memory, configuration messages are automatically sent to the LRS-102 subsystems to change their operating mode in accordance with the new online database. As mentioned above, the number of the active database is always 1, irrespective of the number of the database loaded into the edit buffer as a basis for changes.

Alternatively, you can specify the number of another database, using the Update DB command, in which to store the edit buffer contents. If the database whose index is specified in the Update DB command is not yet stored in the flash memory, a database with this index number is created and the edit buffer contents are stored in it. Note that alternative databases may be assigned any desired number, except 1, because 1 is reserved for the active database. 3. When preparing alternative databases, it is convenient to change the default database, that is, the database which is updated when you use the shortcut % - DB Update: If you do not select a specific default database, the shortcut updates the active database (database 1) If you specify another database stored in the flash memory as default, the shortcut updates the default database. In this case, after preparing the alternative database, it is recommended to return the default selection to database 1.

4. The continuation depends on the results of the sanity check: If neither errors, nor warnings are detected by the sanity check, then you will see a Configuration File Update is in Process message. Wait for the message to disappear before continuing (this takes a few seconds): although you can press <ESC> and return to the menu to continue entering new commands, this is not recommended. In particular, do not reset the LRS-102 before the update is completed: this will cause the configuration data to be lost. Neither should LRS-102 power be disconnected during this interval.

Note

The storage space used by databases increases after each change. Sometimes, the remaining storage space is not sufficient to save the updated database, and you will see Save of Configuration File Failed. In this case, it is necessary to delete unused databases.
After a short delay, the specified database is updated (or a new database with the selected index number is created). If you had updated the active database, the changes will be activated, that is, the operation mode of the LRS-102 changes in accordance with the new parameters values.

Note

If the updated active database includes changes to the serial port communication parameters, you need to press <Enter> several times in sequence to reestablish communication with the LRS-102.
If only warnings are detected by the sanity check, then you are notified by a Warnings exist. Database update started message, however the specified database is updated, as explained above. You can request to see the warnings by typing $ (the show sanity command), even as the configuration file update proceeds (in this case, first press <ESC>), and then correct the configuration accordingly. If errors have been detected, the updating request is rejected, and you see Errors in configuration. Do you want to see errors? You can type y to confirm. In this case, you will see the Errors and Warnings screen. Refer to Chapter 6 for error explanations and corrective actions. Alternatively, type n to cancel and abort the update.

Configuring LRS-102 for SNMPv3 Management

This section presents the main SNMPv3 capabilities, and explains the following procedures: How to enable the SNMPv3 security features How to configure LRS-102 for management with SNMPv3 security features. How to configure LRS-102 for compatibility with management stations that cannot use the SNMPv3 security features, to ensure compatibility with SNMP support in previous LRS-102 software and management station versions. This is performed by mapping SNMPv1 settings to SNMPv3 settings.

You can find below a concise description of the main SNMPv3 capabilities applicable to LRS-102, and descriptions of terms related to the SNMPv3 configuration parameters of LRS-102.

Overview of SNMPv3 Capabilities


The basic SNMP protocol (SNMP version 1, or SNMPv1) can neither authenticate the source of a management message, nor provide privacy (encryption). The SNMP version 2 of the protocol (SNMPv2) adds some functional improvements and extensions to SNMPv1, but does not address security problems. To overcome the security shortcomings of SNMPv1 and SNMPv2, LRS-102 can be configured to use the security features of SNMP protocol version 3 (SNMPv3). SNMPv3 provides a security framework for SNMPv1 and SNMPv2 that adds the following main capabilities: Authentication checks the integrity of management data, and also verifies its origin to ensure that unauthorized users will not masquerade as authorized users Privacy ensures that unauthorized users cannot monitor the management information passing between managed systems and management stations Authorization and access control ensures that only authorized users can perform SNMP network management functions and contact the managed systems.

To support these additional capabilities, SNMPv3 also includes specific administrative features, such as naming, security policies, user and key management, and selectable notification capabilities.

Installation and Operation Manual

Note

Key management requires the using organization to implement an appropriate key distribution method, which is beyond the scope of SNMPv3, and therefore is also not covered in this manual. It is the responsibility of the using organization to maintain appropriate key management and distribution channels.

User-Based Security Model (USM)


SNMPv3 authentication and privacy services are provided by means of the User-Based Security Model (USM), defined in RFC2272. Proper use of USM protects against modification of information in transit from an authorized entity (including modification of message order, delaying or replaying of valid messages to change their effect, etc.), prevents an unauthorized entity from performing management operations by assuming the identity of an authorized entity, and prevents disclosure of the contents of the messages exchanged between a management station and an agent. To achieve these goals, USM uses authentication to check the integrity of transmitted messages, and encryption to prevent disclosure: Authentication mechanisms. Mechanisms that provide integrity checks based on a secret key are usually called message authentication codes (MAC). Typically, message authentication codes are used between two parties that share a secret key in order to validate the information transmitted between these parties. Therefore, an SNMP engine requires an authentication key and a privacy key (actually, for each management session, a set of one-time session keys are generated). Separate values of these two keys are maintained for each local and remote user, and their values must be stored by each user, because the keys are not accessible via SNMP. USM authentication protocol is based on the key-Hashing Message Authentication Code (HMAC), described in RFC2104. HMAC uses a userselected secure hash function and a secret key to produce a message authentication code. USM allows the use of one of two alternative authentication protocols, where both generate a 96-bit output that is used to check message integrity: HMAC-MD5-96: HMAC is used with MD5 (Message Digest algorithm 5) as the underlying hash function. HMAC-SHA-96: HMAC is used with SHA-1 (Secure Hashing Algorithm 1). Encryption mechanism. USM uses the cipher block chaining (CBC) mode of the Data Encryption Standard (DES) for encryption, with a key length of 56 bits.

SNMP Security Levels


The USM capabilities enable the user to select the level of security at which SNMP messages can be sent or with which operations are being processed. The available options are as follows: No authentication and no privacy (encryption) the lowest protection. With authentication, but without privacy With authentication and with privacy the best protection level.

SNMPv3 Administrative Features


The administrative features of SNMPv3 enable determining the entities that are allowed to manage an entity, for example, the LRS-102. There are two administrative aspects: User management. During SNMPv3 configuration, it is necessary to define allowed users and their security attributes. For each user, it is possible to select the security level, and the passwords used for each type of protection (authentication and/or privacy) needed at the selected level. Target and notification management. As part of the SNMPv3 configuration, you can also define the notification capabilities for a list of entities referred to as targets (of notification messages). For each target, you can specify a message processing model, a security model, and the required security level. You can also define a list of notifications that can be sent to the corresponding target.

Note

LRS-102 supports only the sending of traps for notification purposes.

View-Based Access Control Model (VACM)


SNMP manager authorizations are defined by means of the view-based access security model (the name of the model is derived from the method used to define the authorizations: control over the MIB parts that can be viewed by each manager). VACM makes it possible to configure each SNMPv3 agent to allow different levels of access to different managers: for example, the LRS-102 SNMPv3 agent may restrict some managers to view only the LRS-102 performance statistics, and allow others to view and update LRS-102 configuration parameters. Moreover, the SNMPv3 agent can also limit what a manager can do by accepting only commands that invoke parameters included in certain parts of the relevant MIBs (for example, read-only access to the configuration parameters part of a MIB, and read-write access to the diagnostics part). The access control policy used by the agent for each manager must be preconfigured (the policy essentially consists of a table that details the access privileges of each authorized manager). For LRS-102, the configuration of the VACM parameters can only be made by means of a MIB browser, and/or by SNMP commands.

Note

RAD also offers a dedicated SNMPv3 Manager utility to help you edit parameters not covered by the supervision terminal screens. For additional information, contact RAD Technical Support.

Configuring SNMP Engine ID


The SNMP engine ID is a parameter defined in relation with SNMPv3, whose primary function is to provide a unique and unambiguous identifier of the local SNMP engine (processor), which is part of the LRS-102 management subsystem. Thus, it thus also identifies the local LRS-102.

LRS-102 Ver. 2.0

Configuring LRS-102 for SNMPv3 Management

Chapter 4 Configuration

Installation and Operation Manual

SNMPv3 bases the generation of its authentication and privacy session keys on several parameters, one of them being the SNMP engine ID. Therefore, the SNMP engine ID must always be configured before configuring any other SNMPv3 parameters, and in particular before configuring users (if you change the SNMP engine ID, you must also reconfigure the users). Thus, you can configure the SNMP engine ID even when SNMPv3 support is disabled. The SNMP engine ID is a string that has three components: An automatically-generated, fixed part A part that identifies the configuration type (method) used to derive the user-defined part is selectable. The standards define three methods: IPv4 The user-defined part is based on the host IP address. This ensures that the user-defined part is unique within the SNMP-managed network. MAC Address The user-defined part is based on the host MAC address. This option also ensures that the user-defined part is unique. Text The user-defined part is entered as a text string, which must comprise 4 to 27 alphanumeric characters. This is the standard method for LRS-102. A user-defined part, which must be unique within the SNMP-managed network.

To specify the SNMPv3 Engine ID: 1. Navigate to Configuration > System > Management. 2. Select SNMPv3 Engine ID. A typical SNMP Engine ID screen, as seen when using the text configuration type, is shown in Figure 4-31. The current SNMP engine ID string appears in the Engine ID field. 3. To change the user-defined part,select Remaining Bytes, and then type the prescribed string, which must contain 4 to 27 alphanumeric characters. 4. When done, press <Enter> to confirm. The string is added to the Engine ID field (if the string is too long for the available display space, it is truncated, in which case the last digits are replaced by an ellipsis ): 5. After making changes on the SNMP Engine ID screen, a new item, S Save, is added: to activate the new engine ID, type s.

Configuring for SNMP Management with SNMPv3 Security Features


SNMPv3 Configuration Sequence
Note Before starting, make sure to configure the SNMP engine ID and enable SNMPv3 as explained above.
The SNMPv3 configuration sequence is as follows: 1. Configure security attributes for the prescribed users (management stations). 2. Add the prescribed notification tags. 3. Assign traps to each notification tag, to create a tag list. 4. Specify for each target its IP address, define its parameter set, and assign notification tags. 5. Add target (management stations) parameters.

Note

With SNMPv3, the managers configured by means of the Manager List screen (see the Configuring the Manager List (with SNMPv3 Disabled) section) are no longer relevant: only the configured targets are managers. However, to enable synchronizing the managers configured in the Manager List table with SNMPv3 managers, all the IP addresses configured in the Manager List table are automatically added to the target list when SNMPv3 is enabled (they can be seen in the Summary Target Table see the Viewing the Summary Target Table section), but they are not active until their security and management parameters are defined.
The SNMPv3 parameters are configured by means of the SNMPv3 Setting submenu. A typical submenu is shown Figure 4-33. The parameters displayed on the submenu and the tasks that can be initiated are explained in Table 4-7.

Configuring Authorized User Security Parameters


LRS-102 supports up to ten SNMPv3 managers, each having independently-configurable authorizations and security attributes. The security attributes needed by the USM to protect the SNMP traffic between LRS-102 and the prescribed managers are configured by means of Users screen. LRS-102 has a single factory-default user, designated by the security name initial, which is configured for non-secure operations (that is, no authentication and no privacy). Non-secure operations are essential as a starting point for preliminary configuration, but additional users with appropriate authorizations and security attributes must be configured as soon as possible, to avoid defeating the very purpose of SNMPv3. When several users are already defined, you can scroll the Security Name names by typing f (forward) or b (backward). Always remove a user when you must change its security parameters, and then define a new user with the desired parameters. You can view the existing users, and their authorizations and security attributes by selecting Summary User Table, as explained in the Viewing the Summary User Table section.

Note

User access control policies are defined via the vacmSecurityToGroupTable and vacmAccessTable tables, which can be accessed only as explained in the Note on page 4-39.

The submenu tasks are listed below: Target Params: used to configure a general set of parameters for each target, and associate it with a particular set of user security attributes (identified by specifying a Security Name already configured in accordance with Table 4-8). Each target is assigned a unique logistic identifier, the target Name, for identifying the associated set of parameters (see Table 4-9). Note however that in Table 4-11 this identifier is referred to as Params Name Target Address: used to configure the IP address and notification parameters for a selected target logistic Name (Table 4-11). The IP address is associated with the Params Name (defined in Table 4-9) for identification, and with a Tag List for identifying the set of notification parameters (see Table 4-10) Notify: used to configure notification tags (see Table 4-10). Each set of notification parameters is assigned a unique Tag name for identification. Note however that in Table 4-11 this identifier is referred to as Tag List Trap: used to select traps included in the list of each selected notification tag

You can view the existing targets and their management attributes by selecting Summary Target Table, as explained in the Viewing the Summary Target Table section.

Configuring Ethernet Applications

Ethernet traffic is forwarded within LRS-102 (or flows) among specified end points (referred to as bridge ports) in accordance with user-configured rules that define Ethernet Virtual Connections (flows). Therefore, Ethernet applications are configured by defining flows within the LRS-102. A flow interconnects at least two bridge ports, however a given bridge port can serve as the termination point of several flows. The maximum number of flows that can be defined on an LRS-102 is 250. The current LRS-102 version supports E-line flows (an E-line is a type of Ethernet virtual connection that interconnects exactly two bridge ports). The bridge ports that can be defined depend on the installed module types: For OP-108C and OP-106C modules, the following types of bridge ports can be defined: One bridge port can be defined on each Ethernet physical interface. One bridge port can be defined on each external link (actually, this bridge port is configured on an internal logical Ethernet port, which supports the Ethernet traffic to the OP-108C or OP-106C external link). Note that external link A is served by the LINK 1 and LINK 2 ports, and external link B is served by the LINK 3 and LINK 4 ports. Thus, each OP-108C and OP-106C has two bridge ports defined on Ethernet ports, and two bridge ports defined on the external links. For ASMi-54C modules, two types of bridge ports can be defined: Each PCS configured on the module SHDSL ports. Each Ethernet physical port can also serve as a bridge port. The maximum number of bridge ports that can be defined on an ASMi-54C module, together with the two Ethernet ports, is up to 10. The total number of bridge ports supported by a LRS-102 is 370. Use the Configuration > Applications submenu to configure Ethernet traffic flows.

Two types of flows can be configured: Traffic flows Management flows.

Traffic Flow Configuration Guidelines


The maximum number of traffic flows that can be defined on an LRS-102 is 250 (an additional flow, assigned the identifier 251, can be configured for management only). The following configuration rules apply to flows and bridge ports: 1. A bridge port can terminate either only traffic flows from local ports (ports on the same module). 2. It is not possible to configure flows between Ethernet ports on the same I/O module, but only flows between different type of bridge ports on the same I/O module, in accordance with the following rules:
LRS-102 Ver. 2.0 Configuring Ethernet Applications 4-59

Chapter 4 Configuration

Installation and Operation Manual

For OP-108C and OP-106C, you can configure only flows between an Ethernet port and the internal (virtual) Ethernet port associated with the corresponding external link, Int_Eth1 or Int_Eth2. For ASMi-54C modules, you can configure only flows between an Ethernet port and a PCS configured on a module SHDSL port, and flows between two different PCSs of the same module. 3. A bridge port can terminate only one traffic flow classified as unaware (i.e., which does not discriminate Ethernet traffic in accordance with customers and service providers VLANs). 4. When a bridge port is mapped to more than one traffic flow, the bridge port can terminate several traffic flows with specific VLAN IDs, but only one traffic flow classified as unaware. 5. A bridge port can terminate any number of traffic flows with specific VLAN IDs (aware mode), up to the maximum supported per system.

Note

LRS-102 flow configuration menu allows selecting between E-line flows and E-LAN flows. The current LRS-102 version does not support E-LAN flows.
6. For E-line flows, the following VLAN assignment rules apply: 1. The bridge ports terminating a flow must use the same VLAN mode (either unaware or aware). 2. When using the aware mode: The same VLAN ID must be configured at both bridge ports. A given VLAN ID can be configured on only one Ethernet flow per module.

Traffic Flow Configuration Procedure


To add a new traffic flow: 1. On the Configuration > Applications menu, select Ethernet Services. 2. On the Ethernet Services screen, select Flows. You will see the traffic flow configuration screen. A typical screen is shown in Figure 4-51. If no flow is yet defined, it is always necessary to add a new flow.

Note

If flows are already configured, you can also select an existing flow number to modify or delete. You can select directly the flow number, or press F or B to scroll among the existing flows.
4. Select the traffic flow type as E-LINE. 5. Assign a logical name to the traffic flow by selecting Name: you can enter up to 25 alphanumeric characters. When done, press <Enter>. To map bridge ports to the traffic flow: 1. To map bridge ports to the selected flow (either a new one, or an existing flow that is being modified), select Bridge Port Mapping in Figure 4-51. 2. The Bridge Port Mapping screen is displayed. A typical screen is shown in Figure 4-52. If no bridge port has been mapped to the selected flow, the screen is empty. If the screen displays data for an already configured flow (see for example Figure 4-55), you can change some of the flow parameters, for example, C-VLAN Type, by bringing the cursor to the desired field: the available options are then displayed under the list of the bridge ports.

Note

For E-Line flows, you must configure exactly two bridge ports.

The Port field displays the port type, followed by its index number on the selected slot. Bridge ports that are already not available are automatically skipped as you configure flows, for example: 1. Any bridge port configured as VLAN-unaware in one flow cannot be reused in another flow. A sanity error message will be generated if you try including the same bridge port in another flow. 2. The maximum allowed number of traffic flows is 250, and therefore after reaching this number, no more flows can be added. Alternatively, select manually the desired Slot number, and scroll the bridge ports available on the selected module. 6. Select the prescribed flow parameters, taking into consideration the configuration guidelines presented on page 4-59. Table 4-14 lists the available parameters.

Management Flow Configuration Procedure


Management traffic flowing through Ethernet connections is normally assigned a dedicated VLAN. Within the LRS-102, inband management traffic can reach the management subsystem on the CL modules through Ethernet ports, or through the external links when carrying Ethernet traffic. To control the flow of Ethernet inband management traffic within LRS-102 and enable its distribution, through the LRS-102 ports, to other equipment, it is necessary to configure a dedicated management flow, which is always assigned the flow identifier 251. The maximum number of bridge ports that can be added to a management flow is 96. In addition to selecting the bridge ports connected to the management flow, when the same management traffic can be received through more than one bridge port, it is also necessary to specify which bridge ports may accept management traffic from managers (such ports are referred to as host NMS sources). If management communication through the currently selected port fails, another port is automatically selected. When selecting host NMS source ports, make sure to plan ahead how to avoid forming loops in the Ethernet communication topology.

Note

The traffic flow configuration rules listed in the Traffic Flow Configuration Guidelines section on page 4-59 also apply to the management flow.
To configure the management flow: 1. On the Configuration > System > Management menu, select Flow. You will see the management flow configuration screen. A typical screen, as seen before a flow is configured, is shown in Figure 4-56. If no flow is yet defined, it is always necessary to add this flow.

Downloading a Configuration File


Configuration files are downloaded to the LRS-102 edit buffer. After the TFTP transfer is successfully completed, the contents of the downloaded file replace the edit database, and can be further modified as required by any of the management facilities supported by the LRS-102. After the configuration file is ready in the edit buffer, it can be saved as a database, or it can be made the active LRS-102 database by entering the DB Update command. To download a configuration file: Perform Steps 1, 2, 3 of the Updating the CL Management Software procedure (starting on page 4-72), but in Step 3 select Config Download.

Uploading a Configuration File


The contents of the LRS-102 edit buffer can also be uploaded to the management station as a standard disk file. The management station can then distribute this file, as a configuration file, to other units which use similar configuration. The configuration of each unit can then be customized as required. To upload a configuration file: Perform Steps 1, 2, 3 of the Updating the CL Management Software procedure (starting on page 4-72), but in Step 3 select Config Upload.

File Transfers to I/O Modules


The current LRS-102 version also enables downloading software to I/O modules. The CL module flash memory includes two dedicated software storage areas (identified as File 1 and File 2 on the supervision terminal screens), where each area can store two independent image files, in accordance with users requirements: for example, each area can hold a different version of I/O modules software. Moreover, the user can specify from which area to download software to each module or subsystem.

Note

The contents of these storage areas are not checked for consistency between the two CL modules.
File transfers to I/O modules are managed by means of the S/W & File Transfer I/O submenu. This submenu is used to download the required software image to a selected software storage area of the CL modules, and then download the stored software image to each I/O module: A single CL module (the on-line module) can download software to any number of I/O modules. Therefore, it is not mandatory to download I/O modules software to both CL modules (but this is still a recommended procedure). Moreover, the CL module can be configured to download the software to the desired modules in one step (the downloading itself is sequentially performed). After the software is successfully downloaded to an I/O module, that module is automatically reset, and then starts using the new software version. This process

Chapter 5 Configuring Typical Applications


5.1 Overview

This Chapter provides basic configuration guidelines for LRS-102 systems, which prepare the LRS-102 for use in typical applications. In addition to the configuration information appearing in this Chapter, it is necessary to configure the I/O modules installed in the chassis in accordance with their Installation and Operation Manuals.

Note

Unless otherwise specified, all the parameter values appearing in the following screens are given for illustration purposes only, for the specific configuration examples presented in this Chapter. They do not reflect recommended values for other operating conditions.
The configuration activities presented in this Chapter assume that LRS-102 is being configured using a standard ASCII terminal, and that you are familiar with the LRS-102 management, as described in Chapter 3. Detailed descriptions and instructions for using each screen identified below appear in Chapter 4. For your convenience, you can find below an outline of the general configuration sequence.

5.2

Outline of Configuration Sequence

Preliminary Configuration Sequence


The purpose of the preliminary configuration is to prepare the minimal set of parameters needed to manage the LRS-102. In particular, after preliminary configuration you will enable management access by Telnet hosts and Web browsers that are attached to a LAN directly connected to the Ethernet port of the LRS-102 CL module, or at a remote location from which IP communication with the CL module is possible. The preliminary configuration sequence is presented in Section 3.4. After completing the preliminary configuration, you may also use Telnet hosts and Web browsers to manage the LRS-102.

Chapter 6 Troubleshooting and Diagnostics


This Chapter describes the LRS-102 monitoring and diagnostic functions. The available functions include: Collection of performance monitoring data Detection of configuration (sanity) errors Alarm and event collection, and reporting of relevant alarms. You can also customize alarm handling Diagnostic tests for checking transmission paths and IP connectivity.

These functions can be used to identify problems in the network incorporating LRS-102 units, test the proper operation of each LRS-102 unit, and locate rapidly the cause of the fault: within the LRS-102 itself, in its connections to the network or to a users equipment unit, or in the another network component. In addition to the general LRS-102 functions described in this Chapter, you can find information on the module-specific diagnostic functions in the Installation and Operation Manual of each module. If you need additional support for this product, see Section 6.6 for technical support information.

6.1

Monitoring Performance

LRS-102 supports two types of monitoring activities: System monitoring tasks: Monitoring the CL module status, and, for CLS.1 modules, the status of the station clock port Displaying information on remote management agents. Reading current alarms, and alarms history (see Section 6.3). Physical layer monitoring tasks, used to display transmission performance statistics for the LRS-102 ports. The collected data enables the system administrator to monitor the transmission performance, and thus the quality of service provided to users, for statistical purposes. In addition, when problems are reported by users served by LRS-102, the collected data can be used for diagnostic purposes, because it can help identify the source of the problem.

Handling Alarms and Traps

Alarm Collection and Reporting


Alarm Buffer
The LRS-102 continuously monitors critical signals and signal processing functions. In addition, it can also monitor an external alarm line, connected to the ALARM connector. In case a problem is detected, the LRS-102 generates time-stamped alarm messages. The time stamp is provided by an internal real-time clock. The alarm messages generated by the LRS-102 are explained below. Internally, the LRS-102 stores alarms in an alarm buffer. This alarm buffer can store up to 256 alarm messages, together with their time stamps. The alarm history buffer is organized as a FIFO queue, therefore after 256 alarms are written into the buffer, new alarms overwrite the oldest alarms. Alarm messages can also be automatically sent as traps to the user-specified network management stations. The alarms can be read on-line by the network administrator using the network management station, a Telnet host, a Web browser or a supervision terminal. The network administrator can then use the various diagnostic tests to determine the causes of the alarm messages and to return the system to normal operation. When the LRS-102 is powered down, the alarm messages are erased, and therefore old alarms will not reappear after the LRS-102 is powered up again. When using the terminal, a Web browser or a Telnet host, the user also can clear (delete) the alarms stored in this buffer, after reading them.

Alarm Relays
In addition to the alarm collection and reporting facility, the LRS-102 has two alarm relays with floating change-over contacts: one relay for indicating the presence of major alarms and the other for minor alarms. Each relay changes state whenever the first alarm is detected, and returns to its normal state when all the alarms of the corresponding severity disappear. The relay contacts can be used to report internal system alarms to outside indicators, e.g., lights, buzzers, bells, etc., located on a bay alarm or remote monitoring panel.

Customizing Alarm Handling (Alarm Configuration)


LRS-102 allows to customize alarm handling, and adapt the factory-default alarm indications and reporting capabilities to specific application requirements. During maintenance activities, you can also modify temporarily the alarm reporting criteria, to reduce cluttering by alarms generated during troubleshooting, or as a result of an intentional configuration change, while waiting for service, etc.

Selecting the Alarm Attributes


The alarm attributes can be used to modify the standard response in case an alarm is detected in a specific slot or port. For example, you can temporarily or permanently mask an alarm to prevent it from being reporting, as required during maintenance or when a link is taken out of service for a long period.

Installation and Operation Manual

Chapter 6 Troubleshooting and Diagnostics

Since the attributes are specific to a module and to its ports, they must be configured on the programmed modules and thus are generally affected by the active database. If there is a mismatch between the module programmed in a slot, versus the module actually installed in that slot, LRS-102 will not report any alarm for the installed module. Moreover, when the module programmed in a slot is changed, all the alarm attributes related to the replaced module and its ports are automatically removed. The attributes are stored in the LRS-102 configuration files, and are not associated with a specific database. This means that when changes to the programmed modules occur as a result of a database change, and the associated alarm attributes are deleted, restoring the original database does not restore the associated alarm attributes, because they have been deleted from the configuration files. The screen used to configure alarm attributes is Alarm Attributes. The screen is divided into two sections: you can scroll to the right or to the left to display the desired section. A typical screen is shown in Figure 6-9. LRS-102 Configuration>System>Alarms Configuration>Alarm attributes Alarm Id 1 122 ->> Slot None IO-3 Port Type None E1 Port Num None E1 Mask No No

Chapter 6 Troubleshooting and Diagnostics

Installation and Operation Manual

Temporary

The alarm is temporarily masked, and therefore if the LRS-102 is reset or is turned off and then back on, the masking is automatically canceled. A masked alarm does not effect the LRS-102 alarm status. As a result, the various alarm indicators of the LRS-102 will not turn on as a result of a masked alarm, and the generation of the corresponding trap is disabled. Masking an alarm cancels the Invert attribute, if currently defined for this alarm.

Permanent

The alarm is permanently masked: the masking information is stored in the non-volatile memory, and therefore masking is still active after the LRS-102 is reset, or is turned off and then back on.

7. Select Invert to open the inversion attribute selection screen: you can select between No and Yes.

Note

It is not possible to invert event alarms, but only state alarms. A state alarm is an alarm that is in the ON state while a certain condition is present, and automatically changes to OFF when the condition is no longer present. This type of alarm cannot be cleared (removed from the alarm buffer) while it is in the ON state. Selecting Yes for an alarm cancels the masking attribute, if currently defined for this alarm.
The meaning of the inversion attributes is as follows: No Normal interpretation of the alarm condition: an alarm is interpreted as being active when the associated condition, is present (true). The interpretation of a selected alarm condition is inverted with respect to LRS-102 visual indicators and alarm relays. When the alarm is inverted, the normal condition is the presence of an alarm condition, and the condition that requires alerting is the absence of the alarm state. For example, when an E1 port is temporarily out of service, the alarm indication related to loss-of-signal on the corresponding port can be inverted. As a result, the general LRS-102 alarm indicators and the port indicator on the E1 module will be turned off as long as the loss-of-signal condition is present, and will turn on when the port returns to normal operation. The same is true with respect to the alarm relays: if one of the alarm relays is to be activated by that alarm, then inverting the alarm returns the alarm relay to its non-alarm state while the alarm state is present. Alarm inversion does not effect the state of the alarm recorded in the LRS-102 alarm buffer (the alarm buffer shows the true state).

Yes

Note

When alarms are displayed, masked alarms are identified by an M appearing at the righthand side of the alarm line, and inverted alarms are identified by an I.
8. Select Filter/Threshold to open the filtering control screen. The screen includes two options: No Yes No filtering is used. Filtering is enabled. This option appears only when the selected alarm is a state alarm. The purpose of filtering is to reduce the number of alarms generated under marginal conditions, when the alarm changes state often. For this purpose, the system monitors the alarm state during a fixed time window, defined by means of the Alarm Window screen: If the alarm is active for a specified fraction of the observation window (the set threshold), the alarm is declared active, and is reported. To cancel the alarm condition, it must be found active for a smaller fraction of the observation window (the reset threshold). Threshold Enable the use of threshold values. This option appears only when the selected alarm is an event alarm.

Note

An event alarm is an alarm that records the occurrence of an event. This type of alarm can be cleared at any time.
The threshold values are used in conjunction with the filtering window defined by means of the Alarm Window screen to determine when to generate an alert because the frequency of the specified events is too high. Alerts generated when the specified threshold is exceeded cannot be masked, even in case the monitored event is masked. A separately defined threshold is used to cancel the alert when the frequency of the monitored events decreases below that threshold. For event alarms, select threshold values: Set Val The minimum number of times the specified alarm must occur during the observation window for the alarm to be declared active. The allowed range is 0 through 100. The maximum number of times the specified alarm must occur during the observation window for the alarm to be declared inactive. The allowed range is 0 through 100, but the number entered in this field must be less than the number entered as the set threshold.

To change an alarm reporting or indication selection: 1. Move the cursor to the desired location. 2. Select No or Yes to change the selected location. To ensure consistent display and reporting of alarm conditions, pay attention to the following points: For any alarm function, once it is set to YES at a certain alarm level, it needs to be set to YES for all the alarm levels above it. For example, if the Minor LED is set to be YES for minor alarms, it will also be activated for major and critical alarms. For any alarm condition, once it is set to NO at a certain alarm level, it needs to be set to NO for all the lower alarm levels. For example, if the Major LED is set to be activated for major alarms, must also be deactivated for minor, warning and event alarms. Report and Log functions can also be independently set when a particular alarm condition ceases (for example, for Minor off). In this case, all the OFF alarm conditions above that level must also be set to YES. Relays and LEDs cannot be activated for alarm OFF conditions, and therefore N/A appears in the rows corresponding to the end-of-alarm conditions.

Changing the Alarm Priority


LRS-102 supports four alarm severity levels (priorities): warning (lowest level), minor, major, and critical (highest level). You can change the factory-default priority levels for the desired alarms by means of the Alarm Priority screen.

Interpreting Alarm Messages


Table 6-4 lists the alarm messages generated by the LRS-102 and explains their
interpretation. The alarm messages are listed in ascending order of their codes. For each alarm, Table 6-4 also specifies the type (system, slot (SL), CL, or channel (CH)), and lists the default severity (called priority in the supervision terminal screens) for state alarms. The severity level can be modified in accordance with the specific customers requirements using the Configuration > System > Alarms Configuration screen.

Note

A state alarm is an alarm that is in the ON state while a certain condition is present, and automatically changes to OFF when the condition is no longer present. This type of alarm cannot be cleared (removed from the alarm buffer) while it is in the ON state. An event alarm is an alarm that records the occurrence of an event.

Preliminary Checks

Troubleshooting

In case a problem occurs, perform the following preliminary checks: If the problem is detected the first time the LRS-102 is put into operation, first perform the following checks: Check for proper chassis and module installation, and correct cable connections, in accordance with the system installation plan. Check the system and module configuration parameters in accordance with the specific application requirements, as provided by the system administrator. When two CL modules are installed, check the ON LINE indicators: the ON LINE indicator of the active module must light, and that of the standby must flash. If not, first check the configuration. Check the displayed alarm messages and refer to Section 6.3 for their interpretation and associated corrective actions.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q. How does the LRS-102 power supply redundancy mechanism function? A. LRS-102 can be equipped with two PS modules (either AC or DC). The number of power supplies required depends on the LRS-102 card configuration and capacity, but most configurations require a single PS module. Therefore, when two PS modules are installed, the second serves as backup. When 2 PS modules are operating, they will operate together in loadsharing mode. If one PS module fails, the remaining PS module can feed the whole LRS-102.

Frequently Asked Questions

6-39

Chapter 6 Troubleshooting and Diagnostics

Installation and Operation Manual

You should connect each PS module to a separate power circuit: thus, in case of a power source failure, the other PS module continues receiving power. Q. How do I connect equipment with an E1 or T1 interface to modules with external E1 or T1 interfaces, for example, OP-108C and OP-106C? A. LRS-102 modules with external E1 or T1 interfaces use a 44-pin D-type connector. To connect the individual E1 or T1 ports to equipment with RJ-45 connectors, order the following adapter cables: CBL-G703-8/RJ45: adapter cable terminated in RJ-45 plugs at the users end, for use when all the ports are connected to equipment with balanced E1 or T1 interfaces using pins 1, 2 for the receive (RX) pair and pins 4,5 for the transmit (TX) pair CBL-G703-8/RJ45/X: adapter cable terminated in RJ-45 plugs at the users end, for use when all ports are connected to equipment with balanced E1 or T1 interfaces using pins 4,5 for the receive (RX) pair and pins 1, 2 for the transmit (TX) pair CBL-G703-8/COAX: adapter cable terminated in BNC connectors at the users end, for use when all the ports are connected to equipment with unbalanced E1 interfaces CBL-G703-8/OPEN/2M: adapter cable terminated in free leads at the users end. The leads can be connected to any terminal block, or to any connector appropriate for your application. These cables can be used for connection to both balanced and unbalanced interfaces. Q. What is the difference between the LRS-102 Active Alarms (ON), Active Alarms (ALL), and Event Log screens? A. Alarm Active (ALL) screen contains all the events and active alarms (along with a brief description) that happened until the last device reset or the last Clear Log command. The alarm status is displayed as a table with the alarm number at the left, followed by the alarm source (for example, slot and port), description, status of the alarm, the number of times the alarm occurred, and an indicator for special conditions (masking or inversion). You can filter the display in accordance with various criteria, for example, source slot or port. Alarm Active (ON) screen is similar to the Alarm Active (ALL) screen, except that it contains only state alarms in the ON state. Event Log contains more information than the alarm screens, because each alarm has its own entry. LRS-102 can hold up to 256 entries in the log file, where each entry represent an alarm. The event log is cyclic, meaning after 256 alarms, the old ones are overwritten and the alarm ALARM BUFFER OVERFLOW is added (only once). Each entry (alarm) contains the following information: alarm number, alarm module (I/O slot), port number, description, status (Event, Off, Critical, Major, Minor or Warning), timestamp and date. Q. How many different configuration databases can the LRS-102 hold? A. Up to 10 different databases are supported. Switching between databases is done on the fly, without the need for device reset. Q. How many simultaneous Telnet sessions does LRS-102 support? A. Up to six.

Testing LRS-102 Operation

When a problem occurs, LRS-102 offers a set of diagnostic functions that permit to efficiently locate the problem (in the LRS-102 chassis, one of LRS-102 modules, a connecting cable, or external equipment) and rapidly restore full service. The diagnostic functions include: Diagnostic tests for checking transmission paths. These tests include loopbacks at the various ports, which enable to identify whether a malfunction is caused by the LRS-102 or by an external system component (for example, an equipment unit, cable, or transmission path connected to the LRS-102). The available diagnostic functions depend on the installed modules. For specific instructions, refer to the corresponding module Installation and Operation Manual. Ping for IP connectivity testing.

Appendix B Installing New Software Releases


This Appendix presents procedures for downloading software to the LRS-102. The procedures appearing in this Appendix can be used to: 1. Update the LRS-102 software when a new release becomes available. 2. Download again the software in case the stored software has been corrupted. 3. Download software to a new or repaired CL module. 4. Download software to I/O modules that support this capability.

B.1

Overview

LRS-102 operation is controlled by its management subsystem, located on the CL module, which cooperates with the local management subsystems of the other modules installed in the chassis. The software needed by the CL module is stored in flash memory, and therefore can be loaded by external means. This enables distributing software updates from remote locations, or from PCs used by technical support and maintenance personnel. In addition to the CL module software, LRS-102 also enables downloading software to I/O modules. Each of these subsystems can be independently updated, using separate software image files: these files have the extension .img, and their prefix depends on the target type. The prefix is usually followed by a four-digit number that identifies a specific version (additional letters used for RAD internal purposes may follow the version number). The CL module flash memory includes three software storage areas, one for each type of software image file: One area is automatically reserved for the CL module software. The same software version must be stored in both CL modules: an alarm is generated if the CL modules hold different software versions. The other two areas (identified as File 1 and File 2 on the supervision terminal screens) can store two independent image files, in accordance with users requirements (for example, each area can hold a different version of

LRS-102 Ver. 2.0

Overview

B-1

Appendix B Installing New Software Releases

Installation and Operation Manual

link modules software). Moreover, the user can specify from which area to download software to each module. The contents of these storage areas are not checked for consistency between the two CL modules. The File Utilities menu provides the tools necessary to control downloading, and to manage the stored software files (refer to Chapter 4 for details).

Downloading Options for CL Modules Software


The CL module contains the most critical part of the system software, and therefore LRS-102 provides two options for downloading software to the CL modules: Using the File Utilities menu Using the boot menu.

Using the File Utilities Menu


The recommended software downloading method, explained in Section B.2, is downloading by means of the TFTP protocol, using SW & File Transfer CL option of the File Utilities menu. Network administrators can use this procedure to distribute new software releases to all the managed LRS-102 units in the network from a central location. When downloading by TFTP, the new software is always downloaded into the on-line CL module, and is stored in its flash memory. After software decompression is completed, the on-line CL module is automatically reset. Resetting the on-line CL module has two effects: The new software is activated The other CL module (which currently stores the previous software version) is switched on-line.

Therefore, after receiving the messages that indicate flipping (switching) to the other CL module, repeat the downloading procedure: this time the new software will be downloaded into the other module. Following the resetting of the second CL module at the end of software downloading, the original CL module returns on-line.

Using the Boot Menu


Software downloading may also be performed using the boot menu, as explained in Section B.3. The boot menu can be reached while LRS-102 performs initialization, for example, after power-up. You may need to start the loading from the boot menu whenever it is not possible to activate TFTP from the File Utilities menu (for example, because the LRS-102 software has not yet been downloaded or is corrupted).

LRS-102 Ver. 2.0

Installation and Operation Manual

Appendix B Installing New Software Releases

Note

It is recommended that only authorized personnel use the boot menu procedures, because this menu provides many additional options that are intended for use only by technical support personnel.
The boot menu enables downloading two types of files: Boot manager files. The boot manager is a critical function that controls the power-up initialization and ensures that the application program is automatically run upon power-up. The boot manager also includes several utilities (some of them are used to download files, as explained in this Appendix). This type of file is seldom updated. Downloading a boot manager file should be performed only by technical support personnel. Application files. These files carry the regular version updates. The following sections provide instructions for downloading application files.

Two software downloading options are available from the boot menu: Downloading using the Xmodem protocol. This is usually performed by downloading from a PC directly connected to the CONTROL DCE port of the CL module. Downloading using the TFTP protocol. This is usually performed by downloading from a host connected to the CONTROL ETH port of the active CL module, or from a remote location that provides an IP communication path to this LRS-102 port.

When downloading from the boot menu, you connect to only one CL module (the module to be loaded). Therefore, when updating the software to a new release, always repeat the process for the second module.

Downloading Options for Other Software


The other types of software are downloaded to the CL module using TFTP (using the File Utilities menu), and stored into the user-specified software storage area. As for the CL module software, downloading must be separately performed for each module (preferably starting with the on-line module). After a software image is stored in the CL module, it can be downloaded to the desired modules using the SW & File Transfer I/O submenu of the File Utilities menu. As part of the downloading process, the CL module checks that the file being downloaded to a specific I/O module is a valid software image file for that target.

Note

Software Updating Using File Utilities Menu

Unless otherwise specified, all the parameter values appearing in the following screens are given for illustration purposes only, and do not reflect recommended values.

Preparations for Using TFTP


The following conditions must be fulfilled before the TFTP protocol can be used for software downloading: 1. The required suite of protocols (which includes as a minimum the TCP/IP stack and the TFTP server and client software) must be installed on the other computer (the computer used to download files and/or accept uploaded files). 2. The LRS-102 must be assigned IP parameters for its management entity (that is, IP address, the associated subnet mask and a default gateway IP address for the online CL module) using the Configuration > Quick Setup or Configuration > System > Management > Host IP screen. 3. The management access options must be properly configured. 4. You must obtain the IP address of the other computer. 5. The TFTP protocol runs over IP, therefore it is necessary to ensure IP connectivity between the LRS-102 and the other computer. For example: The Ethernet port of the other computer may be directly connected to one of the LRS-102 CONTROL ETH ports. In this case, their IP addresses must be in the same subnet. The CONTROL ETH port and the other computer may be attached to the same LAN. In this case, their IP addresses must be in the same subnet. The LRS-102 and the other computer may be attached to interconnected LANs.

Note

IP connectivity can be checked using standard tools such as ping.


6. If you intend to initiate TFTP transfer using a supervision terminal connected to the LRS-102 CONTROL DCE connector, make sure that the LRS-102 supervisory port is properly configured. This is performed by means of the Configuration > System > Control Port > Serial Port screen. Alternatively, you may use a Telnet host that can communicate with LRS-102 either through the CONTROL ETH ports, or through the one of the external links.

You will see the main menu screen. The LRS-102 now uses the downloaded software. 9. Repeat the transfer to download the same file to the other CL module. For this purpose, first switch the other CL module on-line (use Config > System > Reset Device to send a reset command to the on-line module).

Software Updating Procedure for I/O Modules


To update the software of I/O modules that have this capability, first download the required software image to a selected software storage area of the CL module, and then download the stored software image to each I/O module. A single CL module (the on-line module) can download software to any number of I/O modules. Therefore, it is not mandatory to download I/O modules software to both CL modules. Moreover, the CL module can be configured to download the software to the desired modules in one step (the downloading itself is sequentially performed). After the software is successfully downloaded to an I/O module, that module is automatically reset, and then starts using the new software version. This process momentarily disrupts the traffic flowing through the module that is being updated. To download an I/O module image to a CL module: 1. Open the File Utilities menu. 2. Select the S/W & File Transfer I/O option on the File Utilities menu. You will see the S/W & File Transfer I/O submenu.

Software Downloading Procedure Using TFTP Protocol


Preparations for Using TFTP Protocol transfer:
The preparations needed for using the TFTP protocol from the boot menu are similar to the preparations needed to download software from the File Utilities menu (see Preparations for Using TFTP section on page B-4), except that you must connect to the CONTROL ETH connector of the desired CL module. The main difference is that you need to define the IP communication parameters for the corresponding CL module (IP addresses and the associated subnet mask, and a default gateway IP address).

Note

The IP parameters used for TFTP transfers from the boot menu should be different from those you intend to use during normal operation.
To define management IP parameters from the boot menu: 1. Connect the Ethernet cable from the TFTP server to the CONTROL ETH connector of the desired LRS-102 CL module. 2. Use the procedure described on page B-10 to display the boot menu.

Select 8: System Configuration to start the configuration of the CL module IP communication parameters, as needed for the TFTP transfer. 4. The parameters are displayed in consecutive lines. For each parameter, you can accept the current values by simply pressing <Enter> to continue, or type a new value: IP Address: used to select the IP address of the CL module. To change the current value, type the desired IP address in the dotted quad format, and then press <Enter> to continue. IP Mask: used to select the IP subnet mask of the CL module. To change the current value, type the IP subnet mask address in the dotted quad format, and then press <Enter> to continue. Default Gateway Address: when the TFTP server is located on a different LAN, you must define the IP address of the default gateway to be used by the CL module. Make sure to select an IP address within the subnet of the assigned CL module IP address. To change the current value, type the desired IP address in the dotted quad format, and then <Enter> to end the configuration. If no default gateway is needed, for example, because the TFTP server is attached to the same LAN as the CL module being loaded, enter 0.0.0.0. 5. After pressing <Enter>, you will see again the boot menu.
