This chapter introduces the MERLIN Integrated Network Access (INA) module and
provides an overview of its installation and configuration. The following topics are
discussed:
•
•
•
•
INA Module Description
The MERLIN Integrated Network Access (INA) module (board code 100R) combines the
voice functions of the MERLIN 100D module with data routing and a channel service
unit (CSU)/data service unit (DSU). Using a T1 interface or an ISDN Primary Rate
Interface (PRI), the INA module gives the MERLIN MAGIX™ Integrated System fast
access to the Internet or a remote network without having to use an external CSU.
Data to and from the Internet or remote network is carried over a T1/PRI that is shared
for both voice and data services. The DSU functionality of the INA module supports
static allocation of the T1/PRI bandwidth to either voice channels or data channels:
•
Voice. Channels allocated by the switch for voice services are available to the
MERLIN MAGIX and can be used on a channel-by-channel basis to support
incoming or outgoing calls.
•
Dat a. Channels allocated by the switch to the router provide a high-speed data pipe
for dedicated Internet or remote network access.
Routing functions are handled by an additional CPU that provides 32MB of dedicated
RAM and special nonvolatile (Flash) RAM. The nonvolatile RAM contains router
configuration data and operating firmware called ComOS. The module includes a
10BaseT Ethernet port to connect to the customer’s network.
INA Administration
To manage the INA module, you perform administrative tasks using both MERLIN
MAGIX administration and router administration. Several tools for router
administration are explained later in this guide. Win SPM can be used for both MERLIN
MAGIX administration and router administration through the ComOS command line
interface.
On the MERLIN MAGIX

Use any of the following tools to access ComOS and set up and administer the INA
module’s routing and data functions:
•
•
•
INAWizard . The INAWizard performs the initial configuration of the module. The
program provides a step-by-step series of simple forms that allow easy entry of the
basic configuration settings. The INAWizard operates on most platforms running
Microsoft Windows 95/98, or Windows NT 4.0 and later. The wizard accesses the
INA module through a network connection to the module’s Ethernet interface. See
Com m an d Lin e In t erface. The command line interface provides full access and
control of all ComOS functions through a direct connection to the C0 port on the
front of the INA module, from a terminal or a PC or workstation used as a terminal.
Once an IP address has been assigned to the module’s Ethernet port, you can access
the command line interface via Telnet through a network connection to the port.
PMVision ™. This GUI based program can be used instead of the CLI to control and
configure the INA module. It can also be used to backup and restore the entire INA
configuration. PMVision operates on the same platforms as the INAWizard from any
information.

and implement these additional settings as you do for a 100D module. See the System
Programming manual (555-710-111).
Assign T1/PRI Channels
The INA module can accommodate up to 23 PRI channels or 24 T1 channels. When the
module is first installed, n o channels are assigned to the router.
For PRI configurations, you can assign a channel to the router only if the channel is not
used in a B channel group or a line pool on the switch. For T1 configurations, you can
assign a channel to the router only if the channel is set to Un equ ip p ed from a switch
perspective. You determine these channel settings as you do for a 100D module. See the
System Programming manual (555-710-111) for more information.

This chapter describes the steps needed to physically install and power up the INA
MERLIN MAGIX system. The following topics are discussed.
•
•
•
Install the INA Module in a Carrier
Install the module in the MERLIN MAGIX carrier according to the directions found in
Chapter 2 of the MERLIN MAGIX Integrated System, Installation, SPM, and Maintenance and
Troubleshooting Supplement (555-661-140).
Turn on the MERLIN MAGIX system. Ensure that the system LED on the module’s front
indicates that the module is properly operating and that ComOS has fully booted up. It
may take up to 2 minutes for the INA module to reach this state after the power is
turned on.
Connect Cables
The necessary cables must be connected to the INA module before you can proceed with
the rest of the installation and configuration.
Connect a Serial Passthrough Cable
the INA module and the administration port (labeled ADMIN) on the MERLIN MAGIX
processor module. This cable allows the user to connect to the INA command line
interface by dialing in to the internal modem in the MERLIN MAGIX processor module.

Using the INAWizard
4
The INAWizard program provides basic configuration settings for the INA module. The
wizard uses a graphical user interface (GUI) to guide you step by step through the
configuration process.
The program runs on platforms that use Microsoft Windows 95, Windows 98, or
Windows NT 4.0 and later. A platform with a 486/DX-or-faster processor with 32 MB of
RAM minimum is required. A processor with 48 megabytes RAM is recommended.
The INAWizard performs the initial configuration for new modules, including setting the
IP address for the module’s Ethernet port. The wizard can also be used to reconfigure
modules that have already been set up.
This chapter discusses the following topics:
•
•
•
Install the Wizard
Install the INAWizard by running the program in aw izard _in st all.exe. The installation
program can be found on the CD-ROM included with this guide. Follow the instructions
in the resulting dialog boxes to complete the installation. Lucent recommends using the
Java runtime engine that comes with the installation package, rather than any existing
copy.
Connect the Workstation to the INA Module
For the wizard to work, an Ethernet connection between the workstation running the
wizard and the module must exist. You can usually make the connection through your
network, but you can use a free standing workstation and a crossover Ethernet cable
instead.
Over a LAN
If the module is being configured for the first time and does not have an Ethernet
address configured, the workstation running the INAWizard and the INA module itself
must be on the same subnet. The wizard automatically identifies the INA module and
sets the Ether0 address.
If the workstation is not on the same subnet, then the initial Ethernet configuration for
the module must be set through a console connection and the command line interface.

Using the Command Line Interface
5
The ComOS commands can be used to configure the INA module directly through the
ComOS command line interface. You access the command line interface through the
console port C0 using a terminal or PC running a terminal emulator. Once the module
has been connected to a network, the best way to access the command line interface is
through a Telnet session from a network workstation.
This chapter shows the basic ComOS commands that are used to configure the INA
module. Further details can be found in the PortMaster Command Line Reference and the
PortMaster Configuration Guide.
The following configuration steps are discussed:
•
•
•
•

Guide for more information on name services.
Use these commands to set the name service:
Command> set namesvc dns| ni s
Command> save al l
Once the name service is set, you must set the address of your NIS or DNS name server
and enter the domain name of your network.
Set the Name Server
The INA module supports RFC 1877, which allows remote hosts also supporting
RFC 1877 to learn the name of a server through PPP negotiation. You must provide the
IP address of the name server if you use a name service.
Use the following command to set the name server:
Command> set nameserver Ipaddress
Command> save al l
Not e – You can disable the use of a name service by setting the name server’s IP address
to 0.0.0.0.
Set the Domain Name
The domain name is used for hostname resolution. If you are using DNS or NIS, you
must set a domain name for your network.
Command> set domai n St ri ng
Configure the WAN Port
ComOS automatically creates a WAN port that makes the high-speed dedicated
connection to the INA module. For example, if four PRI channels numbered 5, 6, 7, 8
have been assigned to the INA module, ComOS creates WAN port W4. With a data
capacity of 4 x 64Kbps or 256Kbps.
The WAN port number assigned by ComOS is based on the lowest channel number used
by the channel group minus one. For example, if T1/PRI channels 12, 13, 14, and 15 are
assigned to the INA module, port W11 is assigned to the group.
All data channels assigned to the INA module are initially placed in channel group 1. If
necessary you can configure the channel rate for this channel group.
More than one WAN port can be configured if different groups of T1/PRI channels serve
more then one destination. Additional WAN ports must be separately configured with IP
address, netmask, protocol, channel speed, and any other desired parameters. See “Set
Using the Command Line Interface

Configure the WAN Port
Not e – Be sure to reset the WAN port or reboot the router after making changes to the
WAN port configuration. To reboot, enter the reboot command or press the reboot
button on the INA module.
Set the Channel Rate
Almost all data channels have a channel rate of 64Kbs, the default value assigned by
ComOS. However, if the channel rate is 56kbs, you must set the channel rate to that
value.
Cgroup is the defined channel group number. ComOS initially assigns all INA module
data channels to group 1. If you set up additional WAN ports, you must issue this
command for each of the channel groups you have set up.
Use the following commands to set the channel rate:
Command> set l i ne0 group Cgroup 56K| 64k
Command> save al l
Set Up Additional WAN Ports
To set up additional WAN ports use the following commands:
Command> set l i ne0 group Cgroup channel s Channel -l i st
Command> save al l
For example, suppose you had a PRI line with channels 1, 2, 3, and 4 assigned to your
ISP and channels 9 and 10 assigned to a connection to a branch office. Initially, channels
1, 2, 3, 4, 9, and 10 are all assigned to W0 by ComOS. To create a new WAN port, you
must enter the following commands:
Command> set l i ne0 group 2 channel s 9 10
Command> save al l
Command> reboot
As a result, WAN port W0 is assigned to channels 1, 2, 3, and 4 and WAN port W8 is
assigned to channels 9 and 10.
You must then configure W8 with the desired protocol, IP address, netmask, and related
settings. Be sure to set the correct channel rate for the new group, if necessary, with the
set line0 command.
Set the Port IP Address (Optional)
You can set the local IP address of the W0 port to create an interface with a IP address.
You can use any IP address. If you set the local address of the WAN port to 0.0.0.0 for
PPP, the INA module uses the Ether0 address for the end of the serial link. If you set the
WAN port address to 0.0.0.0 for a Frame Relay connection, the port is disabled.
Use the following commands to set the IP address:
5-6
INA Module Installation and Configuration Guide
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.
Configure the WAN Port
Command> set W1 address Ipaddress
Command> save al l
Set the Destination IP Address
The destination IP address is the IP address or hostname of the machine on the other
end of the connection. The destination IP address can also be set to 255.255.255.255 for
PPP users. This setting allows the INA module to learn the IP address of the system on
the other end of the connection using PPP IPCP address negotiation.
Do not set a destination IP address for Frame Relay connections. Instead, use a data link
connection identifier (DLCI) list to link IP addresses to DLCIs, or use the Local
Management Interface (LMI) or Annex-D status updates and Inverse ARP to discover
Frame Relay addresses dynamically. See the PortMaster Configuration Guide for more
information.
Use the following commands to set the destination IP address:
Command> set W1 dest i nat i on Ipaddress [Ipmask]
Command> save al l
Set the Netmask
The default netmask is 255.255.255.0. If the remote network has been divided into
subnets, enter the netmask that identifies how the remote network addresses are
divided between the network portion and the host portion. The value of Ipmask is
dependent upon the size of the IP subnet of which the IP address is a member.
Use the following commands to set the netmask:
Command> set W1 net mask Ipmask
Command> save al l
Set the Transport Protocol
The transport protocol can be set to either PPP or Frame Relay. If Frame Relay is used,
additional Frame Relay settings must be configured. See the PortMaster Configuration
Guide for more information.
Use these commands to set the transport protocol:
Command> set W1 prot ocol ppp| frame
Command> save al l
Command> reboot
Apply Filters to the WAN Port (Optional)
Filters can be used to provide elementary firewall protection for your WAN port. For
information on input and output filters, see the PortMaster Configuration Guide.

This appendix describes the MERLIN MAGIX system programming options for the INA
module. The INA module is identified as a 100R module in MERLIN MAGIX
programming and console displays.
The following topics are covered:

INA Module System Programming Summary
In general, the INA/100R module supports the same system programming options as the
100D module. Specific exceptions and additions are noted in this appendix. Additions
include the ability to configure and maintain the internal CSU/DSU supported by the
100R module. Exceptions include that only bipolar 8-zero substitution (B8ZS) encoding
is supported when the module is used in PRI mode. For more information on 100D
module programming, see the System Programming Manual (555-710-111).
Not e – To avoid corruption of data sent and received by the integrated data router,
Lucent recommends that all T1/PRI lines used with the INA module be provisioned for
B8ZS encoding.
Each 100R module accommodates up to 23 PRI channels or 24 T1 channels. Each
channel can be either used by the MERLIN MAGIX or assigned to the data router.
Channels assigned to the router can be used for Internet access, remote network
connections, and other WAN applications.
Channels on the 100R module provide the same features and capabilities as channels on
a 100D module. For example, the channels on the 100R module can be configured as
robbed-bit channels for T1 applications or can be used in B-channel groups for PRI
applications. Channels on the 100R module count towards system capacities just as
channels on the 100D module do. Channels that are assigned to the router are included
in the count. Therefore, the combined total of 100R and 100D modules in a system
cannot exceed three.
In addition to MERLIN MAGIX system programming, the INA module requires
programming specifically for the router subsystem. (See “Network Settings” on
INA Module Administration Options
The INA module introduces two additional administration options: to activate or
deactivate the onboard CSU and DSU channel selection.

INA Module Administration Options
The rest of the administration options are essentially the same as for the 100D module.
For more information on configuring the 100D module, see System Programming manual
(555-710-111).
Activate or Deactivate the Onboard CSU
The internal CSU on the INA module is activated by default. You can view and change
this setting by using the following sequence on your system programming console:
Menu: SysProg→St art →Li nesTrunks→More→More→CSU/ DSU→Sl ot #→Ent er→
Act i vat eCSU
Cau t ion – The MERLIN MAGIX is forced into an idle state if the CSU settings are
changed during active voice calls. In this case, the change in CSU status occurs after all
active voice calls have been terminated.
!
Deactivating the CSU has the following impact on 100R module operation:
•
•
•
The 100R board does not respond to network initiated loopback requests.
The 100R board does not send T1 performance statistics to the network.
The line compensation value used by the 100R board corresponds to the DTE
settings appropriate for a 100D module instead of a CSU. The DTE and CSU values

DSU Channel Selection
By default, no channels are assigned to the router. DSU channel selection is used to
assign channels to the router. Use the following sequence on your system programming
console to assign channels to the router:
Menu: SysProg→St art →Li nesTrunks→More→More→CSU/ DSU→Sl ot #→Ent er→
Channel Sel →Channel #→Ent er
You must repeat this sequence for each channel to be assigned to the router.

INA Module Maintenance Options
Not e – For T1 configurations, you can assign a channel to the router only if the channel
is Unequipped from a switch perspective. For PRI configurations, you can assign a
channel to the router only if the channel is not used in a B channel group or a line pool
on the switch.
Not e – For the router to recognize a change in channel assignments, you must reboot
the router either from its command line interface or by pressing the reboot button on
the INA module.
You can view a summary of DSU channel assignments by using the following sequence
on your system programming console.

Sl ot #→Ent er→Channel Sel →Channel #→Del et e
You must repeat this sequence for each channel to be unassigned from the router.
INA Module Maintenance Options
The 100R module has improved T1/PRI error event reporting and has an expanded set
of demand tests. All 100D module maintenance options are also included.
Error Events
The INA module provides three additional error event counts as well as the ability to
manually clear these error event counts. Included are

INA Module Maintenance Options
Not e – The additional error event counts are cleared whenever the INA module is reset.
Be sure to view the error events before resetting the module or busying out the module.
From your system programming console, use the following sequence to access the INA
module Error Events screen. Be sure to select the corresponding INA module slot
number.
Menu: Mai nt enance→Sl ot →Sl ot #→Ent er→Error Event s
The Current Hour and Previous Hour error event screens that are also used on the 100D
module are available on the INA module. Clearing the new error event counts does not
affect the Current Hour and Previous Hour error event counts. Because the Current
Hour and Previous Hour statistics are computed with a different algorithm, Current
Hour and Previous Hour counts do not match the newer counts.
24 Hour Event Totals
The 24-hour total error event screen reports cumulative error statistics spanning the
past 24 hours. The current event totals are not included in this report. From your
system programming console, use the following sequence to access the INA 24 Hr Total
screen. Be sure to select the corresponding INA module slot number.
Menu: Mai nt enance→Sl ot →Sl ot #→Ent er→Error Event s→24 hr t ot al
This screen provides statistics related to the health of the T1/PRI interface. These

INA Module Maintenance Options
Each error statistic represents the sum of error events from all valid intervals including
the current interval. The message “9999” represents an overflow situation.
You can refresh the 24-hour total screen by pressing →Back and then pressing →24 h r
total again.
Current Events
The Current error event screen reports error statistics for the 15-minute interval that is
currently active. The elapsed minutes line displays the number of minutes that have
elapsed for the current interval. The elapsed minutes display ranges from 0 to 15 and is
rounded to the nearest minute. From your system programming console, use the
following sequence to access the Current screen. Be sure to select the corresponding
INA module slot number.
Menu: Mai nt enance→Sl ot →Sl ot #→Ent er→Error Event s→Current
The events reported are the same as for the 24 hour event totals screen.
You can refresh the Current screen by pressing →Back and then pressing →Cu rrent
again.
Selected Interval Events
The Selected Interval Events screen reports on error statistics for a specific 15-minute
interval from the past 24 hours. Ninety-six 15-minute intervals occur in a 24-hour
period. Interval 1 is the most recent 15 minute interval just before the current interval,
and interval 96 is the oldest interval. From your system programming console, use the
following sequence to select a specific interval from the Selected Interval Events screen.
Be sure to select the corresponding INA module slot number.
Menu: Mai nt enance→Sl ot →Sl ot #→Ent er→ErrorEvent s→Int erval →
Int erval #→Ent er
Not e – Invalid intervals have all zeroes for error data, but no visual indication is given
to show that the interval is not valid. You can, however, compute the total number of
invalid intervals by subtracting the valid interval count on the 24-hour total screen from
96.
Clearing Error Events
The Clear Error Events screen causes error events for all intervals, including the current
interval, to be cleared. From your system programming console, use the following
sequence to access the Clear Error Events screen. Be sure to select the corresponding
INA module slot number.
Menu: Mai nt enance→Sl ot →Sl ot #→Ent er→Error Event s→Cl ear
To stop the clear event and retain all error events, press →Back or →Can cel. You will
return to the Error events screen.

Demand Tests
The INA module board incorporates three new demand tests:
Line loopback
Payload loopback
Bit error rate test (BERT)
•
•
•
Line Loopback Test
The line loopback test loops the T1 signal back towards the network without
regenerating framing and without recalculating a cyclic redundancy test (CRC)
checksum. To perform this test, you must first busy out the INA module. From your
system programming console, use the following sequence to start the line loopback test:
Menu: Mai nt enance→Sl ot →Sl ot #→Ent er→Demand t est →Li neLpbk
After the line loopback test has been started, selecting →Back terminates the test.
Not e – During the line loopback test, the INA module transmit clocking is derived from
the signal received by the INA module. The remote end of the T1 connection must be
set up as the clock master for the T1/PRI inrfco v(o)6.5il tilclooPayloadeLoopbackThe a4(sy)-729(l)-1.1(1)

results without terminating the test.
Not e – During BERT testing, the INA module transmit clocking is derived from the
backplane of the MERLIN MAGIX. The remote end of the T1 connection must be set up
as either the clock slave for the T1/PRI interface, or must provide a line loopback.
INA Module System Interactions
Backup and Restore
Like the 100D module, any programming done on the MERLIN MAGIX for the INA
module can be backed up and restored with the system Personal Computer Memory
Card International Association (PCMCIA) card or by a PC running WinSPM. The new
administration options for the INA module (CSU Activate/Deactivate and DSU Channel
Selection) are included.
Not e – Administration data associated with the router is not backed up and restored by
the MERLIN MAGIX backup functions. Router administration data must be backed up
INAWizard may be used to restore the basic network settings, but is not a true backup.
Surrogate Operation
The INA module supports surrogate mode programming. The INA module is indicated
on MERLIN MAGIX system programming screens by the label 100R-U.

INA Module System Interactions
Board Renumbering
The INA module works in the same manner as the 100D module for board
renumbering. Use board renumbering to replace a 100D module with a 100R module,
and vice versa. After the board renumbering, T1/PRI data that had been previously
administered for the replaced module is associated with the new module. The data
channels assigned to the 100R are now be unassigned on the 100D module.
Print Reports
The System Inventory Report is enhanced to include summary information about INA
modules present in the system. This summary information is presented under the
100-RU label.
PCMCIA Flash Memory Card-Based Upgrade Operation
The INA module firmware is upgradeable using the MERLIN MAGIX PCMCIA card.
Not e – Performing an upgrade to the INA module firmware using the MERLIN MAGIX
PCMCIA card does not upgrade the INA module router software. Router software is
upgraded separately with the PMVision application. Depending upon the nature of the
upgrade, either a INA module firmware upgrade, or a router software upgrade, or both
might be required.

The system might be forced into an idle state
while the module is routing data traffic. When
the system is in the forced idle condition, the
router on the INA module continues to operate
and route data traffic.
Slot Bu sy-Ou t
An INA module can be busied out even if the
module is routing data traffic. Busying out the
module disrupts both voice and router services.
Voice and data services are restored when the
module is restored.
