2.2 DESCRIPTION
The Model 2701/I receives channelized G.704 (n x 64kbps) or clear
channel E1/G.703 (2.048-Mbps) data from the telco's digital data net-
work. The Model 2701/I terminates the G.703 telco interface and con-
verts the data for transmission to a user-oriented 10Base-T (802.3)
Ethernet interface.
The Ethernet (Model 2701/I) supports an integrated 10Base-T (802.3)
Ethernet port with transparent bridging capability for IP, IPX, DECnet,
NetBIOS and other layer-3 protocols. The 2701/I attaches to the LAN
and intelligently bridges data traffic to the large central site router
through the telco's leased line network. The 2701/I supports PPP (RFC
1661) and BCP (RFC 1638).

The Model 2701/I is a 10Base-T bridge that operates over G.703/G.704
lines. It uses MAC learning and forwarding to provide seamless LAN-to-
LAN connectivity. As a result, corporate enterprises can connect their
servers to a pair of NTUs and automatically forward data packets that are
meant for the remote network. Local packets are filtered and passed only
to the local LAN.

3.0 PPP OPERATIONAL BACKGROUND
PPP is a protocol used for multi-plexed transport over a point-to-point
link. PPP operates on all full duplex media, and is a symmetric peer-to-
peer protocol, which can be broken into three main components: 1. A
standard method to encapsulate datagrams over serial links; 2. A Link
Control Protocol (LCP) to establish, configure, and test the data-link con-
nection; 3. A family of Network Control Protocols (NCPs) to establish and
configure different network layer protocols.
In order to establish communications over a point-to-point link, each end
of the PPP link must first announce its capabilities and agree on the
parameters of the link’s operation. This exchange is facilitated through
LCP Configure-Request packets.
Once the link has been established and optional facilities have been
negotiated, PPP will attempt to establish a network protocol. PPP will
use Network Control Protocol (NCP) to choose and configure one or
more network layer protocols. Once each of the network layer protocols
have been configured, datagrams from the established network layer
protocol can be sent over the link. The link will remain configured for
these communications until explicit LCP or NCP packets close the link
down, or until some external event occurs.
The PPP Bridging Control Protocol (BCP), defined in RFC 1638, config-
ures and enables/disables the bridge protocol on both ends of the point-
to-point link. BCP uses the same packet exchange mechanism as the
Link Control Protocol (LCP). BCP is a Network Control Protocol of PPP,
bridge packets may not be exchanged until PPP has reached the net-
work layer protocol phase.
3.1 APPLICATIONS
In situations where a routed network requires connectivity to a remote
Ethernet network, the interface on a router can be configured as a PPP
IP Half Bridge. The serial line to the remote bridge functions as a Virtual
Ethernet interface, effectively extending the routers serial port connec-
tion to the remote network. The bridge device sends bridge packets
(BPDU's) to the router's serial interface. The router will receive the layer
three address information and will forward these packets based on its IP
address.
Figure 1 shows a typical Cisco router with a serial interface configured
as a PPP Half Bridge. The router serial interface uses a remote device
that supports PPP bridging to function as a node on the remote Ethernet
network. The serial interface on the Cisco will have an IP address on the
same Ethernet subnet as the bridge.

Figure 1. Cisco router with serial interface, configured as PPP Half Bridge.
For example, the customer site is assigned the addresses 192.168.1.0/
24 through 192.168.1.1/24. The address 192.168.1.1/24 is also the
default gateway for the remote network. The above settings remove any
routing/forwarding intelligence from the CPE. The associated Cisco con-
figuration will set serial interface (s0) to accommodate half bridging for
the above example.
Authentication is optional under PPP. In a point-to-point leased-line link,
incoming customer facilities are usually fixed in nature, therefore authen-
tication is generally not required. If the foreign device requires authenti-
cation via PAP or CHAP, the PPP software will respond with default Peer-
ID consisting of the units Ethernet MAC address and a password which
consists of the unit’s Ethernet MAC address.
Some networking systems do not define network numbers in packets
sent out over a network. If a packet does not have a specific destination
network number, a router will assume that the packet is set up for the
local segment and will not forward it to any other sub-network. However,
in cases where two devices need to communicate over the wide-area,
bridging can be used to transport non-routable protocols.
Figure 2 illustrates transparent bridging between two routers over a
serial interface (s0). Bridging will occur between the two Ethernet Inter-
faces on Router A (e0 and e1) and the two Ethernet Interfaces on Router
B (e0 and e1).

Switch SW2
A detailed description of each switch (SW1-1 through SW1-5) setting fol-
lows the summary table below:
Switch SW2-1 Line Coding: HDB3 (default).
Use Switch SW2-1 to control the Network Line Coding options. Set
these options to be the same as the Line Coding given to you by your
Service Provider. If you are using two Model 2701/Is together as short
range modems, set both units to HDB3.
SW2-1 Line Encoding
Off
On
HDB3
AMI
Options: HDB3, AMI
HDB3 In this line coding, the transmitter substitutes a deliberate bipo-
lar violation when excessive zeros in the data stream are
detected. The receiver recognizes these special violations and
decodes them as zeros. This method enables the network to
meet minimum pulse density requirements. Unless AMI is
required in your application, HDB3 should be used whenever
possible.
AMI
Alternate Mark Inversion defines a pulse as a “mark,” a binary
one, as opposed to a zero. In an E1 network connection, signals
are transmitted as a sequence of ones and zeros. Ones are
sent as pulses, and zeros are sent as spaces, i.e., no pulse.
Every other pulse is inverted from the previous pulse in polarity,
so that the signal can be effectively transmitted. This means,
however, that a long sequence of zeros in the data stream will
14

cause problems, since the NTU receiving the signal relies on
the signal to recover the 2.048 Mb/s clock.
If you must use AMI, you should ensure that the data terminal
equipment connected to the unit provides a minimally accept-
able pulse density. For this reason, there are advantages to
using HDB3 instead. AMI coding does not inherently account for
ones density. To meet this requirement, the user should ensure
that the data inherently meets pulse density requirements.
Switch SW2-2: CRC-4 Multiframe.
In framed mode, SW2-2 is used for CRC-4 MF. When CRC-4 is enabled,
the unit monitors the incoming data stream for CRC-4 errors. It transmits
CRC-4 error counts to the transmitting unit. When using timeslot zero
(TS0), excessive errors may cause loss of frame or loss of sync. If CRC-
4 MF is used, both units must be set for set for CRC-4 MF. Otherwise, the
one using CRC-4 MF will detect loss of sync.

Note When the data rate is set to 2.048Mb/s, then the unit is forced
into G.703 mode, and it transmits user data on all 32 time-lots.
There is no framing information; therefore, the CRC4 MF (SW2-
2) switch is ignored. In all other rate settings, the unit employs
G.704 framing; TS0 is reserved for signaling.
Switch SW2-3 Data Inversion.
Set Switch S2-3 to determine whether or not the data stream from the
local DTE is inverted within the Model 2701 before being passed to the
G.703/G.704 network. An inverted data stream may be required when
you use the Model 2701 to communicate with a G.703 device (that
inverts the data) on the remote end. In typical installations, data inversion
is not necessary.

V.54 Response is a special in-band loopback facility that sends a
pseudo-random pattern over the data stream. This is the only loopback
that the unit can initiate. This is useful for campus applications when you
need to put a remote unit in loopback.The unit responds to the V.54 loop-
back command, and the whole process takes only a few seconds to com-
plete. When V.54 Loopback is disabled, the unit will not be able to send
or respond to V.54 loopback commands. The duration of the loopback is
limited by the loopback timeout setting.

2 pulses = no MAC entries in the MAC Address Table
3 pulses = Clear to Send (CTS) or Carrier Detect (DCD) from
base unit are not asserted
4 pulses = IM1/I buffer is saturated
5 pulses = WAN receive frame(s) too large
6 pulses = WAN receive frame(s) not octet aligned
7 pulses = WAN receive frame(s) aborted
8 pulses = Detected WAN receive frame(s) with CRC
9 pulses = Detected LAN receive frame(s) too large
10 pulses = Detected LAN receive frame(s) not octet aligned
11 pulses = Detected LAN receive frame(s) with bad CRC
LOS
The Loss of Sync LED lights when the unit loses synchroniza-
tion with the incoming signal. This may happen when there is a
framing mismatch or a loss of signal. In unframed mode, the
LOS LED monitors the status of the transmit clock.
TM
ER
(Active Yellow) Solid Yellow indicates an Active Test Mode. The
unit may be placed in test mode by the local user or by the
remote user
The error LED indicates various error conditions, including fram-
ing bit errors, excessive zeros, controlled slips, severe errors, or
bit errors (when sending V.52 test patterns). When sending a
test pattern, the LED will remain lit if the unit does not receive
the identical pattern. When it receives the correct pattern, the
LED will turn off. If error insertion is on, the LED will blink once a
second if everything is operating properly.

6.3 LOOP (V.54 & TELCO) DIAGNOSTICS
The Model 2701/I offers three V.54 loop diagnostics. Use these diagnos-
tics to test the NTU and any communication links. These tests can be
activated via the front panel switches.
Operating Local Loopback (LL)
The Local Loopback (LL) test checks the operation of the local Model
2701/I, and is performed separately on each unit.
Figure 13. Local Loopback for a Network Termination Application
To perform a LL test, follow these steps:
1. Activate LL. This may be done by selecting local loop on the front
panel switch.
2. .Perform a V.52 BER (bit error rate) test as described on page 25. If
the BER test equipment indicates no faults, but the data terminal
indicates a fault, follow the manufacturer’s checkout procedures for
the data terminal. Also, check the interface cable between the ter-
minal and the Model 2701/I.

Operating Remote Digital Loopback (RL)
The Remote Digital Loopback (RL) test checks the performance of both
the local and remote NetLink-E1™, as well as the communication link
between them. Any characters sent to the remote NetLink-E1™ in this
test mode will be returned back to the originating device.
Figure 14. Remote Loop in a Network Extension Application
There are two Remote Loops that can be initiated from the NetLink 2701/
I unit: (1) V.54 Loop, and; (2) CSU Loop. The user can select the type of
loop that can be initiated by Switch S2-4. When a loopback is initiated
this is the type of loop that the unit uses to loop up the remote unit and
which type of loop the unit will respond to.
To perform an RDL test, follow these steps:
1. Activate RDL. This may be done by setting the front panel switch to
‘Remote’.
2. Perform a bit error rate test (BERT) using the internal V.52 genera-
tor (as described on page 25), or using a separate BER Tester. If
the BER test indicates a fault, and the Local Line Loopback test
was successful for both NetLink™s, you may have a problem with
the twisted pair line connection.
CSU Loop
Although CSU Loop is predominantly a T1 function, the NetLink-2701/I
responds to central office initiated loop commands. Customers can use
this facility when the Central Office network switch supports CSU loops
over an E1 interface.
When CSU Loop is selected, and when in D4 framing mode, the NetLink
2701/I will implement the “loop up” command when it recognizes the pat-
tern “10000” in the data stream for a minimum of 5 seconds. The “loop

down” command is implemented by the pattern “100” in the data stream
for a minimum of 5 seconds.
The NetLink 2701/I will respond to Universal Loopback De-activate to
clear all central office loops.
Using the V.52 (BER) Test Pattern Generator
To use the V.52 BER tests in conjunction with the Remote Digital Loop-
back tests (or with Local Line Loopback tests), follow these instructions:
1. Locate the “511/511E” toggle switch on the front panel of the 2701/I
and move it UP. This activates the V.52 BER test mode and trans-
mits a “511” test pattern into the loop. If any errors are present, the
local modem’s red “ER” LED will blink sporadically.
2. If the above test indicates no errors are present, move the V.52 tog-
gle switch DOWN, activating the “511/E” test with errors present. If
the test is working properly, the local modem's red “ER” LED will
blink once per second. A successful “511/E” test will confirm that
the link is in place, and that the Model 2701/I’s built-in “511” genera-
tor and detector are working properly.
Note The above V.52 BER tests can be used independently of the
Remote Digital Loopback tests. This requires two operators:
one to initiate and monitor the tests at the local Model 2701/I,
and one to do the same at the remote Model 2701/I. In this
case, the test pattern sent by each Model 2701/I will not be
looped back, but will be transmitted down the line to the other
Model 2701/I. While one operator initiates test, the other moni-
tors for errors.
