Canada Requirements Only (continued)
Repairs to certified equipment should be coordinated by a representative designated by the supplier. Any repairs or
alterations made by the user to this equipment, or equipment malfunctions, may give the telecommunications
company cause to request the user to disconnect the equipment.
Users should ensure for their own protection that the electrical ground connections of the power utility, telephone lines
and internal metallic water pipe system, if present, are connected together. This precaution may be particularly
important in rural areas.
Caution: Users should not attempt to make such connections themselves, but should contact the appropriate electric
inspection authority, or electrician, as appropriate.
Notice: For equipment using loopstart lines, please note that the Ringer Equivalence Number (REN) assigned to each
terminal device provides an indication of the maximum number of terminals allowed to be connected to a telephone
interface. The termination on an interface may consist of any combination of devices subject only to the requirement
that the sum of the Ringer Equivalence Numbers of all the devices does not exceed 5. The REN is located on the “FCC
Rules Part 68” label located on the bracket of the module, or on the back of the unit.
Canada CS-03 -- Règles et règlements
Avis: L'étiquette d'Industrie Canada identifie le matériel homologué. Cette étiquette certifie que le matériel est
conforme aux normes de protection, d'exploitation et de sécurité des réseaux de télécommunications, comme le
prescrivent les documents concernant les exigences techniques relatives au matériel terminal. Le Ministère n'assure
toutefois pas que le matériel fonctionnera à la satisfaction de l'utilisateur.
Avant d'installer ce matériel, l'utilisateur doit s'assurer qu'il est permis de le raccorder aux installations de l'entreprise
locale de télécommunication. Le matériel doit également être installé en suivant une méthode acceptée de
raccordement. L'abonné ne doit pas oublier qu'il est possible que la conformité aux conditions énoncées ci-dessus
n'empêche pas la dégradation du service dans certaines situations.
Les réparations de matériel homologué doivent être coordonnées par un représentant désigné par le fournisseur.
L'entreprise de télécommunications peut demander à l'utilisateur de débrancher un appareil à la suite de réparations ou
de modifications effectuées par l'utilisateur ou à cause de mauvais fonctionnement.
Pour sa propre protection, l'utilisateur doit s'assurer que tous les fils de mise à la terre de la source d'énergie électrique,
des lignes téléphoniques et des canalisations d'eau métalliques, s'il y en a, sont raccordés ensemble. Cette précaution
est particulièrement importante dans les régions rurales.
Avertissement: L'utilisateur ne doit pas tenter de faire ces raccordements lui-même; il doit avoir recours à un service
d'inspection des installations électriques, ou à un électricien, selon le cas.
Avis: Veuillez prendre note que pour tout appareillage supportant des lignes de type “loopstart,” l'indice d'équivalence
de la sonnerie (IES) assigné à chaque dispositif terminal indique le nombre maximal de terminaux qui peuvent être
raccordés à une interface. La terminaison d'une interface téléphonique peut consister en une combinaison de quelques
dispositifs, à la seule condition que la somme d'indices d'équivalence de la sonnerie de tous les dispositifs n'excède pas

The ANH-8/DC front panel includes an external MDI/MDI-X switch (Figure 2-9)
that allows you to change transmit and receive signals for 10Base-T repeater Port
1 from normal repeater input mode (media-dependent interface with crossover, or
MDI-X) to repeater cascade out (media-dependent interface, or MDI)
configuration. In MDI-X mode, transmit and receive signal connections are
reversed; in MDI mode, the port transmits and receives straight-through signals
With a standard (straight-through) UTP cable in Port 1, press the switch in for
MDI operation.
With a crossover cable in Port 1, keep the switch out for MDI-X operation.

Connecting the ANH-8/DC to Other Repeaters/Hubs
You can use Port 1 in MDI configuration to connect to a 10Base-T MDI-X port on
another router/hub/bridge device using UTP straight-through RJ-45 patch cables
(instead of a special crossover cable). You can interconnect (daisychain) as many
as four 8-Port ANH-8/DC or other hub systems.
To determine whether you need to use a crossover cable or straight-through cable
to interconnect hub units, consider the following:
•
If the Ethernet UTP ports on both hubs are in MDI mode, use a crossover
cable.
•
•
If the UTP ports on both hubs are in MDI-X mode, use a crossover cable.
If the UTP port on one hub is in MDI mode, and the UTP port on the other
hub is in MDI-X mode, use a straight-through cable.

Installing and Operating AN/DC and ANH-8/DC Systems
Connecting to the DC Power Source
Danger: Due to high-energy hazards, only qualified service personnel are
permitted to connect the ANH-8/DC to the power source. Ensure that the
connection is to an isolated -48 V or -60 V source (reinforced insulation from
the main [AC] power).
To connect the ANH-8/DC to the power source:
1. Ensure that the power switch is in the OFF (0) position (Figure 2-19).
2. Using a flathead screwdriver, loosen, but do not remove, the screws on the
terminal blocks marked -VDC and RTN (Figure 2-19).

3. Strip 3/8 in. (10 mm) of insulation from the end of a #16 or #18 AWG
cable.
Note: Although #18 AWG cable is adequate, we recommend #16 AWG cable
to ensure minimal voltage drop from the power source.
4. Insert the stripped end of the cable into the -VDC terminal block, the
minus lead (Figure 2-20).
5. Tighten the screw beneath the -VDC terminal block to establish the
electrical connection.

8. Tighten the screw beneath the RTN terminal block to establish the
electrical connection.
9. Connect an earth ground wire to either the leftmost terminal block, or to
the grounding stud located between the power switch and the power
module connector (Figure 2-21).
We recommend using the same wire gauge (or greater) for the earth ground as
that used for connection to the power source. That is, if connection to the
power source uses #16 AWG cable, use #16 AWG cable for the ground. If
connection to the power source uses #18 AWG cable, use #18 or #16 AWG
cable for the ground.
Use a #6 ring terminal when the connecting to the grounding stud.

Chapter 3
Starting the AN/DC and ANH-8/DC
The first time you start the AN/DC or ANH-8/DC, you complete an important
software configuration process.
Before you begin the initial startup from a remote site:
1. Coordinate with your network administrator.
ANH Systems to a Network or Configuring Remote Access, determines which
software configuration option is best for your site and configures the network
2. Install the PCMCIA Flash card supplied with the router.
See “Installing the Flash Memory Card” in this chapter.

About Software Installation
To bridge and route traffic, the router needs a configuration file that is customized
for the network and a software image made up of executable files -- an operating
system kernel and application files. Nortel Networks ships these files on PCMCIA
Flash media.

Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.
Installing and Operating AN/DC and ANH-8/DC Systems
You must complete an initial startup procedure to obtain the necessary files and
connect the AN/DC or ANH-8/DC to the network. Getting a file over the network
is called network booting, or netbooting. Getting a file from the router file system,
stored in Flash memory, is called local booting.
Note: This guide explains using Site Manager software to connect the router
to a managed network. If you plan to use EZ Internetwork software to start the
AN/DC or ANH-8/DC on the network, you use the Quick2Config software.
Quick2Config is a Microsoft Windows-based application that allows you to
quickly and easily create or modify configuration files for Nortel Networks
Access routers. See Configuring Your Router Using the Quick2Config Tool for
information.
Boot Options
You use one of four Site Manager boot options to complete software installation:
EZ Install, Netboot, Directed Netboot, or Local Boot. Table 3-1 summarizes the
four options; the sections that follow provide steps for completing each option.

Installing the Flash Memory Card
A PCMCIA Flash memory card (Figure 3-1) provides storage capability for the
nonvolatile file system (NVFS) in the AN/DC and ANH-8/DC. When you remove
a formatted memory card, the NVFS automatically removes access to the card.
When you insert and format a card or insert an already formatted card, the NVFS
automatically provides access.

Using EZ Install
To use the EZ Install feature:
1. Install the router and attached communications equipment as described
in Chapter 1 (AN/DC) or Chapter 2 (ANH-8/DC).
There must be at least one synchronous connection to one of the COM ports.
Although you do not need a modem or console connection for EZ Install, we
strongly recommend that you connect a modem or console. This lets you issue
commands to the router and view messages.
2. Contact your network administrator to verify that the remote network is
set up so that you can start the EZ Install procedure.
3. Be sure that the Flash memory card is installed, as described earlier in
this chapter.
4. Supply power as described in this chapter.
As the router powers on, it begins diagnostic tests. Your console displays the
message *****Testing Memory***** with the amount of memory available.
Once it passes diagnostic tests, the router automatically activates and
IP address from the upstream router, and a configuration file from the BootP
server.) The router then starts bridging and routing traffic.
When booting, the AN/DC and ANH-8/DC LEDs flash in a particular order.
To interpret the LED sequence and troubleshoot any potential problems, refer
to Chapter 4.

Installing and Operating AN/DC and ANH-8/DC Systems
Using Netboot, Directed Netboot, or Local Boot
You use a command interface to the router software, the Diagnostic Monitor, for
Netbooting or Local Booting. (You can also use the Technician Interface or Site
Manager for the Directed Netboot procedure.)
The AN/DC and ANH-8/DC ship with the configuration source set to network and
the image source set to local. Using the Diagnostic Monitor, you change the
default configuration, bypassing the EZ Install process. The Diagnostic Monitor’s
bconfig command enables you to specify the source for the configuration file and
boot image.
You begin the Netboot, Directed Netboot, or Local Boot process by logging in to
the Diagnostic Monitor. Complete these steps:
1. Install the router and attached communications equipment as described
in Chapter 1 (AN/DC) or Chapter 2 (ANH-8/DC).
2. Power on the local management console.
3. Insert the Flash memory card as described earlier in this chapter.
4. Press the power switch on the back panel to the On position.
As the router powers on, your console displays the message *****Testing
Memory***** with the amount of memory available.
Next, diagnostic software (AN Diagnostics) begins to test the router. The
console displays:
•
•
•
The diagnostic software version
The size of Flash memory and Dynamic Random Access Memory
(DRAM)
•
The result of diagnostic tests as each test completes

Operating the AN/DC and ANH-8/DC
When power is supplied to the router, the following LED sequence should occur:
•
•
The POWER LED lights and remains on.
RUN, BOOT, and DIAG (or FAULT for ANH) LEDs light for approximately
1 second, then turn off, indicating that the router is functioning.
•
The RUN LED blinks for 1 to 3 minutes, indicating that the diagnostic tests
are running. (It blinks quickly during the initial 17-second memory test, then
slows down during the interface tests.)
•
•

Powering On and Off
The DC power switch allows you to restart the router without having to disconnect
the power supply wires. When the power switch is turned off, the outputs of the
power supply shut off, but the front end is still active.
Danger: Once the AN/DC is connected to the power source, the central office
must shut off the circuit breaker to remove the wires to the power supply.
To power on an AN/DC or ANH-8/DC:
1. Press the power switch to the On position (1); that is, toggle the switch
down.
For the AN/DC, see Figure 4-4. For the ANH-8/DC, see Figure 4-5.
Note: If the AN/DC or ANH-8/DC does not power on, check the polarity of
the connections to the power source. If polarity has been reversed, the router
will not power on. If polarity is correct and the AN/DC or ANH-8/DC does not
power on, contact the Nortel Networks Technical Response Center.

Protecting Memory Card Files
Nortel Networks ships each memory card with its read-write protect switch in the
unprotected position (Figure 4-10). After successfully loading the configuration
file and saving your configuration, you may want to write-protect the memory
card for backup purposes.
Note: You typically do not operate the router with a write-protected memory
card. We recommend making a copy of your configuration on another memory
card, write-protecting the card, and storing it in a safe place.
To change memory card protection:
1. Remove the memory card as described in the previous section.
2. Adjust the read-write protect switch, which is located on the edge
opposite the INSERT arrow of the memory card (Figure 4-10).

the tftp_host for both files.
<tftp_pathname>
Specifies the complete pathname of the software image or configuration file on the
host.
Resets the default values for the software image or configuration file.
-d
The command bconfig -d image tells the router to look for the image file locally and
nullifies the IP address and pathname for the file.
The command bconfig -d config tells the router to obtain the configuration file over
the network and nullifies the IP address and pathname for the file.
Without the IP address and pathnames, the router uses Netboot rather than Directed
Netboot. However, if you want to get one file locally while using Directed Netboot for
the other file, you can use the bconfig command as the following examples show:
bconfig image local
bconfig config network 21.3.5.62 /usr/anstartup/config
Or,
bconfig image network 21.3.5.62 /usr/mykernel.exe

Appendix B
Using Local Boot (the Quick-Start Procedure)
You can local boot the AN/DC or ANH-8/DC using the Site Manager Quick-Start
procedure explained in this appendix. You need this information to complete the
procedure in “Continuing with Local Boot” on page 3-15 .
The Quick-Start procedure is the initial configuration that starts a Nortel
Networks router running on the network. The procedure enables the Internet
Protocol (IP) so that the router can connect to Site Manager.
Quick-starting basically consists of running the install.bat script and entering
information at the prompts. The router automatically selects options for some
prompts, and you can accept default values for many of the other prompts.
To assist you in answering Quick-Start prompts, we have included a series of
worksheets for you to fill out with your network administrator’s help. These
worksheets contain all of the options that appear at each prompt, and space for
you to record the options you select.
The last two sections in this appendix, Using the Quick-Start Commands” and
Running the Quick-Start Script,” provide additional information about the
Quick-Start procedure.
It is very important that you fill out the worksheets and read all sections of this
appendix before you begin the Quick-Start procedure.
Note: Contact your network administrator for assistance in selecting
worksheet options.

Installing and Operating AN/DC and ANH-8/DC Systems
Filling Out the Quick-Start Worksheets
The install.bat script provides many options for configuring the router on a
network.
Note: Because typical remote access uses a synchronous interface over a
WAN connection, this section lists only the options involved with a
synchronous configuration. When you configure a LAN interface, base your
decision on the information provided with each install.bat prompt.
Use the following worksheets to organize your network information. Although
this section has many worksheets, you only need to fill out
•
•
•
One Global Information Worksheet. This worksheet lists options common to
all synchronous interface configurations.
One Router Protocol Worksheet. This worksheet lists specific options for RIP,
OSPF, or Static Route configurations.
One Wide Area Protocol Worksheet. This worksheet lists specific options for
the Nortel Networks (proprietary) Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP), Frame
Relay, PPP Standard, and Switched Multimegabit Data Service (SMDS)
configurations.
We suggest the following procedure when filling out worksheets:
1. Fill out the Global Information Worksheet completely.
(These options are the same for all synchronous interface configurations.)
2. After recording your protocol selections on the Global Information
For example, if you select RIP as your routing protocol and Frame Relay as
your wide area protocol, you need only fill out the worksheets pertaining to
these specific protocols.

AN/DC Network Interfaces
Description
Network
Interface
Ethernet and
Supports the Ethernet and IEEE 802.3 standards that provide LAN
Second Ethernet connectivity.
The Ethernet interfaces on an AN/DC include a 10Base-T (UTP) and
an 802.3 AUI (XCVR) port; however, you can use only one port at a
time.
The UTP interface provides unshielded twisted-pair support; the
XCVR interface provides broadband, baseband, fiber, and shielded
twisted-pair support, depending on the transceiver and cabling you
use.
Synchronous
Provides WAN connectivity. AN/DC models can have either two
(COM1 and COM2) or three (COM1, COM2, and COM3)
synchronous ports. (The third synchronous interface option is
available on any AN/DC model that this guide describes.)
Each port can operate independently with RS-232, RS-422, RS-449,
V.28, V.35, and X.21 cables. Synchronous capability allows internal or
external clocking.
ISDN BRI
Supports an S/T interface (an RJ-45 physical connector). The BRI
provides 2 B channels, and supports full D-channel signaling and call
setup/tear-down as defined in 1988 CCITT (now ITU-T) Q.921 and
Q.931. For more information on ISDN, refer to Configuring Dial
Services.
Note that in the United States, an external NT-1 device is required to
provide the U interface to the carrier network.
The ISDN BRI option is available on any AN/DC model. Note that
only one synchronous port, COM2, operates in AN/DC models that
include ISDN BRI support.

Attachment Unit Interface (AUI) Ports
The AN/DC back panel and ANH-8/DC front panel contains a standard 802.3
AUI DB-15 receptacle connector with a slide lock for connection to the AUI. You
can use the Order No. 7115 Ethernet cable, described in the Cable Guide for
Routers and BNX Platforms, for connections to this port.
The AUI transceiver (XCVR) port provides broadband, baseband, fiber, and
shielded twisted-pair support, depending on the transceiver and cabling you use.
The AUI interface connects internally to the Ethernet repeater.
Note: The AUI port is designed only for connection to a transceiver.
Connecting the AUI port directly to the AUI port on an Ethernet station
(without a transceiver) violates IEEE 802.3 standards.

10Base-T Repeater Ports (ANH-8/DC only)
The eight Ethernet 10Base-T repeater port RJ-45 connectors on the ANH-8/DC
front panel provide UTP support. The ANH-8/DC transmits the same information
over each repeater port; it allows simultaneous connection to any of the eight
10Base-T ports or AUI port.
Each of the eight shielded RJ-45 jacks is a 10Base-T port using the standard
media-dependent interface with internal crossover (MDI-X) pin assignment. Each
port detects the polarity of the circuit connected to RD Pins 1 and 2 and adjusts
polarity as necessary to correctly complete this circuit.
The UTP repeater Ports 2 through 8 are fixed with internal crossover connection
or media-dependent interface with crossover (MDI-X). This means that you use a
straight-through cable when connecting to other network resources (for example,
workstations or other nonrepeating devices).
Table C-4 shows the RJ-45 pin assignments for the eight front-panel 10Base-T
ports and identifies the pin locations.

ISDN BRI Ports
The AN/DC and ANH-8/DC support the BRI standard for ISDN using an optional
ISDN/BRI module. The integrated ISDN BRI functionality allows you to connect
directly to the ISDN network, as opposed to connecting via a terminal adapter.
This solution reduces equipment costs and simplifies connection to an ISDN
switch.
The BRI implementation supports two dial service applications: dial-on-demand
and dial backup. Configuring Dial Services describes these services and how to
configure them for connection to an ISDN network.

Requirements for European Operation
ISDN BRI Requirements
The ISDN BRI module (Order Nos. AE0004006, AE0011013, and AE0011019
for the ANH-8/DC) and ISDN BRI upgrade module (Order Nos. 24000, 24000-S,
and 50022 for the AN/DC) are approved only for installation in a host, and with
host attachments, which are either type approved for such apparatus or, if supplied
after 1st March 1989, are marked with or supplied with a statement that the host is
supplied under the terms of General Approval Number NS/G/1234/J/100003.
Installation of the ISDN BRI module in any ANH-8/DC chassis (Order Nos.
AE1001041, AE1001042, AE1001043, and AE1001044) complies with all
requirements listed in this section. Installation of the ISDN BRI upgrade module
Power Requirements
The ISDN BRI is powered from the host chassis and has the power requirements
shown in Table D-9.
Table D-9.
Voltage

The power drawn from the host chassis combined with that required for any other
cards and accessories must be within the power rating of the host chassis.
You must install the ISDN BRI upgrade module in an AN in such a way as to not
impair the integrity of the network protection from hazardous voltages used or
generated internally by the host chassis.

ISDN BRI Clearances and Creepage Distances
The clearances and creepage distances (shown as X and Y, respectively, in
Figure D-4 and Table D-10) must be maintained between the card and
•
•
The host chassis in which it is installed
Any adjacent cards installed in the host chassis
The exception to this rule is the edge connector, which resides in the host chassis
backplane where no minimum distance applies.

Up to 50 V rms or V dc
Up to 125 V rms or V dc
Up to 250 V rms or V dc
Up to 300 V rms or V dc
The creepage distances apply to the normal office environment. When the local
environment within the host chassis is subject to conductive pollution or dry
nonconductive pollution that could become conductive due to condensation, the
creepage distances shown in parentheses in Table D-10 will apply.
The clearance and creepage distance between adjacent points should be checked
as follows:
•
The clearance distance (X) is the shortest distance measured between two
points through the air.
•
The creepage distance (Y) is the shortest distance between two points
measured across a surface.
You should obtain advice from a competent telecommunications safety engineer if
invalidate the General Approval.
