Installation
The IOLINK-520 & IOLINK-PRO are flexible Ethernet Bridge/Routers that may be
configured to service Local Area Networks and Wide Area Network connections over leased
lines, ISDN circuits, and frame relay permanent virtual circuits. The IOLINK-PRO
supports a single LAN and one or two WAN links (one ISDN BRI interface or two other
WAN modules). The IOLINK-520 supports two independent LANs plus one WAN
interface or a single LAN plus two WAN interface modules (if two ISDN BRI modules are
installed, this will provide 4 WAN links)
PPP ISDN units provide bridging, IP/IPX routing, and compression over a PPP ISDN
connection and support an ISDN BRI interface via an integral ISDN-ST or ISDN-U link
module. The ISDN BRI interface supports two 64 Kbps B-channels.
PPP Lease line units provide bridging, IP/IPX routing, and compression and support one
or two physical wide area network (WAN) links that may operate at speeds up to 2.048
Mbps.
Frame Relay units provide bridging and IP/IPX routing and support 1 to 128 Permanent
Virtual Circuit (PVC) across two physical wide area links running RAW 1490 or
encapsulated PPP.
The following instructions provide a quick set-up guide for installation of the IOLINK-520
& IOLINK-PRO Ethernet Bridge/Routers:
Unpack the IOLINK Router
Rough handling during shipment can damage electronic equipment. As you unpack the
bridge/router, carefully check for signs of damage. If damage is suspected, contact the
shipper. Save the box and all packing material to protect the bridge/router should it ever
need to be moved or returned for service.
Check the packing slip that identifies the components and the LAN connector.
Select a Site
Place the bridge/router in a well ventilated area. The site should maintain normal office
temperature and humidity levels. Air vents located on the sides of the bridge/router must
have approximately one inch / 2.5 centimeters of clearance from any object.

Identify the Connectors
IOLINK-PRO
The IOLINK-PRO may be ordered with a 10Base2, 10Base5, or 10BaseT LAN interface.
If this IOLINK-PRO has an ISDN U or S/T Module, it must only be installed in the slot 1
(leftmost position when viewed from the rear of the unit). The slot 2 position may be
unused and covered with a blank panel or may contain another type of module. If a second
WAN module is installed, only one BRI channel will be available for use.
Figure 1-2 Rear View of the IOLINK-PRO with ISDN interface
IOLINK-520
The IOLINK-520 is configured with a 10/100BaseT LAN and either one or two optional
interface modules. The optional modules may be a second LAN (10 BaseT), a second LAN
plus one WAN module, a single WAN module or two WAN modules.
Important: If a second LAN module is installed, it must be in the slot 1 (leftmost position
when viewed from the rear of the unit) to operate. In addition, if only one
optional interface module is installed, it must be in slot 1
Each interface may be changed by simply removing the existing module and installing a new
module. Refer to Appendix D: Servicing Information for information on replacing modules.

Connect to the Console
Connection to the bridge/router operator’s console is made through the DB25 connector
labeled CONSOLE on the back of the bridge/router.
Connect the console port of the IOLINK Router to a computer running an asynchronous
communication package or a standard asynchronous terminal. The bridge/router supports
autobaud rates at 1200, 2400, 9600, 19,200, 38,400 or 57,600 bps. Both the bridge/router
and the bridged network are configured through the use of “hotkey” Menus.
Make the Link Connection(s)
By default the links are configured as permanent DTE interfaces. The clocking for each link
will be provided by the DCE device connected to each link.
The V.35 link modules require interface converters that convert from a DB25 connector to
a male 34-pin (V.35) connector used for the V.35 interface. Be sure to secure the cable
connector(s) to the bridge/router and the communications equipment with the connector
screws to prevent accidental disconnection.
The CSU/DSU module uses a RJ-48S connector to interface with the digital data service.
G.703 modules use a standard BNC connector with a 75 ohm cable.
The ISDN-ST interface module of the ISDN IOLINK Router provides a RJ-45 connector
to connect to the RJ-45 connector of the NT1 provided with your ISDN service.
The ISDN-U interface module of the ISDN IOLINK Router provides an integrated NT1
with a RJ-45 connector to connect directly with your ISDN service.
Pinouts for the WAN connectors are listed in Appendix D of this manual.

Applications
Power Up the Bridge/Router
Once the LAN and Link connections are made and the console is connected to a terminal,
you are ready to power-up the IOLINK router. Connect the AC power cord to the back of
the IOLINK router and plug the cord into the AC wall outlet.
Observe the LEDs as the bridge/router powers up. The LEDs will go through a circular
flashing pattern as the power-up diagnostics are performed. After the power-up diagnostics
are finished, the Power LED will go from red to green.
Enter at least one <RETURN> (up to three if necessary) in order for the bridge/router to
determine the baud rate of the terminal used for the console (i.e., autobaud). The following
information will now be seen on the console connected to the bridge/router :
Terminals supported:
ansi, avt, ibm3101, qvt109, qvt102, qvt119, tvi925,
tvi950, vt52, vt100, wyse-50, wyse-vp, teletype
Enter terminal type:
Select the terminal type being used if listed and enter its name (in lower case) at the prompt,
or choose the terminal type teletype if your terminal is not listed. This terminal type
operates in scroll mode and may be used successfully until a custom terminal definition is
created.
Managing the IOLINK-520 & IOLINK-PRO
Using the Menus
This section describes the minimum configuration parameters required when setting up the
IOLINK-520 & IOLINK-PRO. Each of the configuration scenarios requires setting of
operational parameters on the IOLINK-520 & IOLINK-PRO. The built-in menu system
of the IOLINK-520 & IOLINK-PRO is used to configure the unit.
The IOLINK router menu system operates on a “hotkey” principle; navigating around the
menu system is done by typing the number associated with the desired option; the
IOLINK-520 & IOLINK-PRO acts on the choice immediately (no need to hit the “enter”
key).
The menu system consists of different menu levels each containing new configuration options.
Navigation back out of a nested menu is easily accomplished by pressing the tab key. The tab
key takes you to the previous menu level. If you wish to move from your current menu
location directly to the main menu simply press the equals “=” key.
When choosing menu options that will toggle between values, simply pressing the number
associated with that option will cause the options value to change. Each successive selection
of the option will cause the option’s value to change again.
Some menu options require input from the operator. When selecting an option that
requires a value, the menu system will display the range of values acceptable and a prompt
symbol “>”. Enter the new value at the prompt symbol and press enter. Should you make
an error in entering the new value, the <BACKSPACE> key (for most terminals) deletes the
most recently entered characters.

Typical Applications & How to Configure Them
The IOLINK-520 & IOLINK-PRO are flexible Ethernet Bridge/Routers. This section will
describe how to set-up the IOLINK-520 & IOLINK-PRO routers using each of its
networking functions. Note that depending on the model of unit and what interface
modules are installed, some of the configuration examples may not apply; for example, if no
ISDN BRI module is installed, the sections on setting up an ISDN PPP IOLINK router
would not apply.
The IOLINK-520 & IOLINK-PRO routers may be configured as a simple Ethernet bridge,
an Ethernet IP router, an Ethernet IPX router, or a combination of the three. When
operating the IOLINK router as a combination bridge/router, simply configure each of the
components separately.
Note:
The configuration options described within this section are only for initial set-up and
configuration purposes. For more complete information on all of the configuration
parameters available please refer to the IOLINK-520 & IOLINK-PRO VPN Menus
Manual file on the accompanying CD-ROM.
Important: The IOLINK-520 & IOLINK-PRO uses FLASH memory to store the configuration
information. Configuration settings are stored to FLASH memory after there
has been 30 seconds of idle time. Idle time is when there is no selection or
modification of the value in the built-in menu system. If you wish to save a
configuration immediately, enter “=” to get to the main menu, then select
option 5 “Save configuration”.

2.1 - Bridging and Routing
Should You Bridge or Route?
When connecting two networks together, the first question to ask is “should I bridge or
route”? The decision to bridge or to route may be decided by how the existing networks
have been already set-up.
Bridging should be used when the network consists of non-routable protocols or routable
protocols using the same network numbers. Some protocols can only be bridged; some of
the more well known are NetBEUI (used by Microsoft Windows), and LAT (used by Digital
Equipment Corp.).
If your IPX or IP network address is the same at both locations, bridging is simpler and
requires less configuration. If the locations are to be routed together, the network numbers
will have to be different in both cases; this could require extensive reconfiguration.
IPX routing should be used if the two locations are already set-up with different IPX
network numbers. Routing IPX will minimize the number of SAP and RIP messages being
sent across the WAN.
IP routing should be used if the two locations are already set-up with different IP network
numbers or if you wish to divide your one IP network number into two sub-networks.
In some cases both bridging and routing may be required. Routing may be required for IP
information and bridging may be required for NetBEUI.

Applications
2.1.1 - Bridging
An Ethernet bridge intelligently forwards Ethernet data packet traffic between connected
networks. The traffic may be across the Wide Area Network (illustrated below) or, in the
case of the IOLINK-520, may be between two LANs connected to the same IOLINK-520.
WAN connection
Network #1
Network #2
Windows for Workgroups Computers
Windows for Workgroups Computers
Figure 2 -1 Networks Bridged across a WAN link
Ethernet bridges simply forward information based on Ethernet MAC addresses. If a
packet is destined for a device located on a different network than the device that sent the
packet, the bridge will forward that packet to the connected network. If a packet is destined
for a device located on the same local network as the originating device, the bridge will
ignore the packet.
Ethernet bridges also communicate to each other using what is called the Spanning Tree
Protocol (STP). STP is used to prevent loops in a network which cause traffic to be re-
broadcast again and again causing network congestion.
The IOLINK-520 & IOLINK-PRO are pre-configured to operate as an Ethernet bridge
compatible with the IEEE 802.1d Spanning Tree Protocol definitions. This means that
without configuration modifications, the IOLINK-520 & IOLINK-PRO will bridge
Ethernet traffic to its partner bridges when the Wide Area Network (WAN) connection has
been established.
The IOLINK-520 & IOLINK-PRO are also pre-configured as an IPX router. This
means that if you wish to bridge IPX traffic instead of routing it, you must disable the
IPX routing function of the IOLINK router. Once IPX routing has been disabled, all
IPX traffic will be bridged between networks.
To set-up a bridge between two LANs using a dual LAN IOLINK-520, all that is required is
that the LANs be connected to the IOLINK router.
To set-up a bridge between two networks connected by a WAN link:
−
−
Connect each IOLINK router to the LAN(s) it will be serving
Connect the WAN interface of each IOLINK router to the equipment supplied by the service
provider
−
−
Configure the remote site profile of the partner router if necessary

Figure 2 -2 IP Networks Routed across a WAN link
IP routers forward IP frames based upon their IP destination address and an internal
routing table. The router maintains the internal routing table with the connected network IP
addresses and, for WAN link connections, the remote partner IP routers associated with
those networks. When an IP frame is received, the destination IP address is examined and
looked up in the routing table. In the case of a dual LAN IOLINK router, if the destination
IP address is on the other LAN, the packet is routed there. For WAN connections, if the
destination IP network is found in the routing tables, the IP router sends the IP frame to the
remote partner router that is connected to the appropriate remote IP network. If no explicit
route entry is found in the routing table, the IP frame is sent to the Default Gateway. The
Default Gateway may be learned from the LAN or may be set manually (see section 2.1.2.3).
To configure an IOLINK router for IP routing between networks, the following parameters
must be defined in the built-in menu system.

Applications
2.1. 2 .1 - IP Addressing
Devices on an IP network are located by their IP addresses, which is a 32 bit number
divided into four 8 bit fields. The IP address identifies both the network and the host device
(also known as a node) on that network. The address is usually written as the four decimal
values for the fields (between 0 and 255) separated by decimal points; for example
196.65.43.21.
The high order field defines the IP class of the address. There are three commonly used
classes of standard IP addresses:
A: 1 to 127
B: 128 to 191
C: 192 to 223
For Class A addresses, only the first 7 bits of the high order field represents the network
address, so there can be 127 networks. The remaining three fields are the host portion of the
24
address – there can be over 16 million (2 ) host devices on each class A network.
Class B uses the first two fields for network addresses and can address approximately 16,000
16
networks. The two low order fields allow approximately 65,000 host addresses (2 ) for each
network.
Class C uses three high order fields to address over 2 million networks; the low order field is
used to address up to 253 hosts (the addresses with all bits set to 1 and all 0 are reserved for
network use; so addresses available from 8 bits = 255 minus the 2 reserved).
IP addresses within a private network may be assigned arbitrarily, however, if that network is
to interconnect with the global Internet, it is necessary to obtain a registered IP address.
For example, a small company is connected to the Internet; they are assigned a single class C
IP network address (199.169.100.0). This network address allows the company to define up
to 253 host addresses within their network.

Applications
2.1.2.2 Masks
The portion of the IP address to use as the network address is specified by using a mask; a
mask is the contiguous number of bits to be used for the network address all set to 1. When
the mask is logically ANDed with an IP address, the result is the network address. The mask
is specified by entering the mask size as the number of bits in the mask. For the standard
Class A, B and C Internet addresses, the mask sizes would be 8, 16 and 24 respectively.
Networks are not restricted to the above standard sizes; the mask (and hence the network
address it specifies) may be any number of bits from 8 to 32. This gives much more
flexibility to match the size of the two fields of the IP address to the number of networks
and hosts to be serviced.
2.1.2.3 - IP Subnets
An IP network may be divided into smaller networks by a process called sub-netting. A
subnet is specified using some of the high order bits of the host field of the IP address for
sub-network addressing. The portion of the IP address to be used as the subnet address is
defined by using a subnet mask.
If the company in the example above (Class C IP address 199.169.100.0) decides to split
their network into two LANs to reduce the load on their network, the original IP network
address may be sub-netted into two or more smaller IP networks consisting of a smaller
number of host addresses in each LAN. This allows each of the sites to be a smaller IP
network and to be routed together to allow inter-network communication.
The subnet mask size is the number of bits in the subnet mask. In the above figure the subnet
mask size would be 26 (24 bits for the class C network address and 2 subnet bits). The subnet size
is the number of subnet bits - in the above figure, the subnet size would be 2.

Applications
The IOLINK-520 & IOLINK-PRO allows mask sizes from 8 to 32 bits. The subnet mask
size determines how many bits of the host field of the original IP network address will be
used for the creation of subnets. In this example, specifying a mask size of 26 will produce a
subnet size of 2 bits. Two bits gives 4 possible sub-network addresses from the original IP
network address. Two of the resulting sub-networks will have either all zeros or all ones as
the subnet address; these addresses are reserved for network functions and hence are invalid
addresses. The subnet mask for the above example networks will be 255.255.255.192:
So setting a subnet mask size of 26 will generate two sub-networks with up to 62 host
addresses each (64 potential addresses minus the all zero and all one addresses). The new IP
sub-network addresses will be: 199.169.100.64 and 199.169.100.128.

2.1.2.3 - IP Default Gateway
An IP default gateway is an IP router that is resident on the local IP network that this
IOLINK router is connected to and is used to route IP frames for destination networks that
do not exist in the routing table. When an IP frame is received that is destined for a
network that is not listed in the routing table of the IOLINK router, the router will send the
IP frame to the default gateway. If the device originating the IP frame is on the same LAN
as the IOLINK router, the router will then send an ICMP redirect message to the
originating device. Any future IP frames for that destination network will then be sent
directly to the default gateway instead of the IOLINK router.
A default gateway may be configured if there are a large number of routes that will pass
through another router to a larger network. An example of this would be a router that is
used to connect to the Internet. All of the routers on the LAN would have the Internet
access router as the default gateway.
2.1.2.4 - IP Static Route
With its default settings, the IOLINK-520 & IOLINK-PRO will automatically learn the
routes to other devices on the network through RIP messages. In some instances it may be
desirable to have a predetermined or static route that will always be used to reach certain
devices, such as when one specific router is to be used to reach a destination IP network.
The static route will have precedence over all learned RIP routes even if the cost of the RIP
learned routes is lower.

Note
When the IP routing protocol is set to none, static routes will be used to route
traffic. The mask size must also be defined when creating a static
route entry. The subnet mask is required to allow a static route to be created
to a different IP network address. See the previous section for an explanation
of masks.

2.1.3 - IPX Routing
The IOLINK-520 & IOLINK-PRO are pre-configured to operate as an IPX router. When
installed in an IPX network, the IOLINK router will learn the IPX network numbers from
connected networks. It will then route the IPX frames to the appropriate destination IPX
network.
The IPX routing scenario may consist of one of the two following configurations. The first
configuration consists of Novell servers located on each of the LAN segments to be
connected. The second configuration consists of Novell servers located on only one of the
LAN segments to be connected. The IOLINK router IPX router will need to be
configured differently in the second configuration with Novell servers located on only one
of the LAN segments.
2.1.3.1 - Novell Servers in Both Locations
An Ethernet IPX router is used to intelligently route Novell IPX LAN traffic to another
network. The networks may be connected across a WAN link (illustrated below) or two
LANs connected to a dual LAN IOLINK-520.

Figure 2 -3 IPX Routed Local Area Networks (Servers on both sides)
IPX routers forward IPX frames based upon their IPX destination address and an internal
routing table. The router maintains the internal routing table with the network IPX
addresses and the remote partner IPX routers associated with those networks. When an
IPX frame is received, the destination IPX address is examined and looked up in the routing
tables. Once the destination IPX address is found in the routing tables, the IPX router
sends the IPX frame to the appropriate remote IPX network.
When both LAN segments contain Novell servers, the IPX network numbers are learned
automatically; simply ensure that IPX routing is enabled on the router for both networks.
When two IPX LAN segments with Novell servers on each segment are to be
connected via IPX routing, you must ensure that the IPX network numbers on each
of the Novell servers is unique. If the IPX network numbers are the same, IPX
routing will not operate.

Applications
Once the WAN connections have been established to the remote partner IOLINK
routers, the IPX router portion of the IOLINK routers will begin to build their routing
tables according to the IPX frames they receive from the network. Manual entries
may be made in the routing tables by adding static IPX routes.
2.1.3.2 - Novell Servers in One Location Only
Some Novell LAN installations require that a remote LAN that consists of only Novell IPX
clients be connected to a central LAN that contains the Novell servers and some more
clients. In this configuration, the IOLINK router IPX router located at the remote site
must be configured with the appropriate IPX network numbers. The IPX network number
must be configured manually because there is no Novell server at the remote site. The
IOLINK router must act as a Novell server to supply the proper IPX network number to
the clients on the remote site LAN.
In the following diagram, the IOLINK router connected to LAN #2 must be configured
with IPX network number 1500 (or any other valid, unique IPX network number) using the
appropriate frame type. The clients connected to LAN #2 must also be running with the
same frame type as defined on the IOLINK router. After the IOLINK routers have
established the WAN connection, the IPX routing procedures will cause the names of the
services located on LAN #1 to be stored in the services table on the IOLINK router on
LAN #2. When one of the clients on LAN #2 starts up, it will look for a server on the local
LAN and the IOLINK router will respond with the list of servers that are located on LAN
#1.

2.1.4 - PPP Overview
Point to Point Protocol (PPP) is a connection protocol that allows control over the set-up
and monitoring of network communications. It is used in procedures for user authentication
(name and password), connection management (spoofing, bandwidth on demand, multilink),
and compression. If any these functions are required on a frame relay connection, PPP
encapsulation within frame relay is available.
2.1.4.1 - PPP Link Configuration
A PPP connection between two routers may use a number of Network Control Protocols for
communication. An IP router connection will use the Internet Protocol Control Protocol
(IPCP) for all IP communications. An IPX router connection will use the Internet Packet
Exchange Control Protocol (IPXCP) for all IPX communications.
In order to establish an IPCP or IPXCP link connection between two PPP routers, either a
numbered link or an unnumbered link connection must be established. The two types of
link connections are available to allow for greater flexibility between vendors products.
2.1.4.2 - Numbered Links
A numbered link assigns a network address (either IP or IPX) to both ends of the WAN
connection. In a numbered link configuration, the WAN connection may be viewed as
another LAN network with the two PPP routers simply routing information between their
local LANs and the common connected WAN network.
Because the WAN is considered a separate network, each of the stations on that network
must be assigned a network address. If a numbered IP link is to be established, then each
WAN interface must be assigned an IP address on a unique IP network. The WAN IP
network address must be different from the two existing networks that are being connected
together with the PPP routers.

If a numbered IPX link is to be established, then each WAN interface must be assigned an
IPX node address on a unique IPX network number. The WAN IPX network address must
be different from the two existing networks that are being connected together with the PPP
routers.
The IPX node address of the local WAN link is defined as the Local IPX Node within the
remote site profile settings. The IPX address of the WAN link of the remote PPP router is
defined as the Peer IPX Node within the remote site profile settings. The WAN IPX
network number is defined with the IPX Net option in the remote site profile settings.

2.1.4.3 - Unnumbered Links
An unnumbered link does not use network addressing on the WAN link. The WAN
connection is roughly equivalent to an internal connection with each of the two end point
routers operating as half of a complete router that is connected between the two endpoint
LANs.
When an IPCP link is set to unnumbered, the only configuration option applicable is Peer
IP Address. The peer IP address in this case is the IP address of the remote PPP router,
that is the IP address of its LAN connection. If the peer IP address is not specified, the
IOLINK router will attempt to determine it when negotiating the IPCP connection.
When an IPXCP link is set to unnumbered, no addressing configuration is required. All of
the IPX settings are negotiated during the IPXCP connection.
When making a raw frame relay (no PPP encapsulation) connection with
unnumbered links, the IP network address of each partner router must be manually
entered in the remote site set-up for the link to operate.

Once the IOLINK router has restarted it is ready to establish ISDN
connections.
With the ISDN numbers and switch type defined, an ISDN call may be placed to another
properly configured bridge/router. The calls may be placed manually or automatically. The
automatic call features available are Auto-Call or IP Address Connect. An Auto-Call
connection is established each time the IOLINK router starts up. An IP Address Connect
call is established to a specifically configured remote IOLINK router when certain IP traffic
is received from the local LAN.
Note that any time the switch type is changed a soft reset must be performed before the
change will take effect.
The switch type is not saved through a full reset; the IOLINK router will come up with the
default switch type – NET3; if you require a different switch type, it must be re-entered after
a configuration reload. It is strongly recommended that the entire configuration set of the
router be saved (Dump config.txt to the console) then reloaded (Restore config.txt from the
console) after a full reset.
The configuration options described here are only for initial set-up and configuration
purposes. For more complete information on all of the configuration parameters
available, please refer to the “IOLINK-520 & IOLINK-PRO VPN Menus Reference

2.2.1.1 - PPP ISDN Manual Call Quick Connections
The PPP IOLINK-520 & IOLINK-PRO should be configured with a remote site
profile entry for each router that will be called (see section 2.3.1). A manual direct dial
connection may be performed to establish an initial connection to a remote site router.
Once the connection is established and working properly, the remote site configuration for
that router should be entered into the IOLINK router. The remote site profile enables
ISDN calls to be placed automatically each time the IOLINK router starts up (Auto-Call) or
automatically depending upon the time of day activation schedule or upon receiving IP
frames from the local LAN destined for the IP network connected to that particular PPP
router.

2.2.2 - Basic Frame Relay Configuration
North American IOLINK-520 & IOLINK-PRO with at least one non-ISDN interface are
configured to have frame relay enabled for that interface by default. IOLINK-520 &
IOLINK-PRO shipped outside of North America with at least one non-ISDN interface will
have frame relay disabled on that interface as a default setting. See the following page for
instructions on switching Frame relay from disabled to enabled.
If the IOLINK-520 or IOLINK-PRO is configured as a frame relay router, it will
communicate over WAN connections to other Frame Relay units via Frame Relay
Permanent Virtual Circuits (PVC). From 1 to 128 PVC’s may be defined to connect to
other frame relay units. Before the IOLINK-520 or IOLINK-PRO can establish a PVC
connection to another frame relay router, at least one PVC must be defined. The IOLINK
router is pre-configured to query the frame relay service to auto-learn the required
parameters; they may also be set manually.
The DLCI (Data Link Connection Identifier) number for the PVC is assigned by the frame
relay service provider. The PVC must be defined on at least one physical links on the
IOLINK router. Refer to the following diagram that shows three IOLINK router units
connected together with two PVCs being configured on each unit. The configuration of the
PVCs within the frame relay cloud is controlled by the frame relay service provider.

2.2.2.1 - Auto Learning the Frame Relay Configuration
The IOLINK-520 & IOLINK-PRO are pre-configured to query the frame relay service
to auto-learn the LMI type and the PVC DLCI numbers. This auto-learn function allows
the IOLINK-520 & IOLINK-PRO to be plugged into the frame relay service and auto-
learn the PVC configuration to become operational without further manual
configuration. IOLINK router auto-learning conforms to RFC1490.
Manual configuration is also allowed by modifying the options within each Remote Site
Profile and the individual link configuration menus.
When the IOLINK-520 or IOLINK-PRO first starts up it will query the frame relay
service to try to determine the LMI type on each of the frame relay links. Once the LMI
type is determined, the PVC configurations will be known from the full status enquiry
messages. If the DLCI numbers of the PVC’s on your service are determined during this

learning process, the IOLINK router will automatically create a remote site profile for
each PVC. The automatically created remote site profiles will be named “LinkxDLCIyyy”
where x is the physical link number the PVC is on and yyy is the DLCI of the PVC.
If during this learning process the maximum number of remote sites has been
reached, the IOLINK router will prompt you that there are no remote sites available.
A new remote site cannot be auto-created unless one of the existing remote sites is
manually deleted.
Auto-learning with PPP encapsulation enabled (see following page) may not be
compatible with some older model routers. If problems with auto-learning occur with
PPP enabled, try disabling PPP encapsulation.
2.2.2.2 - Manual Configuration - LMI Type
The LMI Type option allows you to manually specify the type of Link Management
Interface in use by the Frame Relay service provider for the Frame Relay service.
When the LMI type is set to none, the IOLINK router simply creates frame relay packets
and sends them on the defined PVC’s. The links are not checked for errors. There is no
congestion control checking. The link is only monitored for control signals.
To manually configure the LMI type the Auto-Learning option must be disabled.

2.2.2.3 - Quick Start Frame Relay
Since the IOLINK-520 & IOLINK-PRO auto-learns the frame relay configuration, only
a couple of parameters need to be configured before the unit is fully operational as an IP
router for frame relay.
Upon initial start up, the IOLINK-520 & IOLINK-PRO are pre-configured to query the
frame relay service to auto-learn the LMI type and the PVC DLCI numbers. The
IOLINK-520 & IOLINK-PRO will then automatically create a remote site profile for
each PVC.
Within each of the remote site profiles automatically created Bridging, IP routing, and
IPX routing are all set to “enabled”. Because each of these options are enabled by default
and the automatically created remote site profiles will establish a PVC connection to the
remote site routers, the IOLINK-520 & IOLINK-PRO will bridge and IPX route data
without any user configuration. Because an IP router requires an IP address, the
IOLINK router must be configured with an IP address before IP routing is fully
operational.
To configure an IP address for the IOLINK-520 & IOLINK-PRO, use the IP address
option.

2.3 - Configure Remote Site Profiles
Remote Site Profiles allow the IOLINK router to have different sets of configuration
parameters for each of the remote site routers that may be called or that may call this
IOLINK router. This allows complete control over the configuration of each possible
connection.
Each remote site profile is assigned an identification number when it is created, whether it is
created automatically under auto-learning or manually by the user editing the remote site
profile. The remote site is also named with an alias, which provides a more descriptive
identifier for the remote site profile. For example, a remote site profile may be created with
a name that describes the location of the remote router or a user name on an incoming
connection. The alias may be up to 16 characters long and must begin with an alphabetic
character (blanks and the character ”!” are not allowed).
There can be up to 128 remote site profiles. The ID numbers are assigned automatically in
ascending order as the site profiles are created.
ID numbers 129, 130 and 131 are templates for creating remote site profiles with ISDN.
Frame Relay or Leased Line connections respectively. A template may have its parameters
set to match common network configurations and then be used to quickly set-up a new site.
In addition to the reserved templates, you can use any remote site as a template to create a
new site.
The remote site profile allows the definition of various connection parameters: Circuit set-
up, Bridge and Routing protocol configuration, activation criteria and security.
The following steps must be performed on the IOLINK-520 & IOLINK-PRO in order to
define a new remote site profile.

2.3.1 - Configure Remote Site Profiles for ISDN PPP
If this IOLINK router is configured to have at least one ISDN switched circuit, the ISDN
call parameters must be defined so that the IOLINK router knows what ISDN phone
number to dial when a connection to this remote site is required and what security
parameters to use when establishing a connection.
When this IOLINK router receives an ISDN connection it will prompt the calling device
for a user name and password (PPP access security); once the name and password have been
authenticated, the user name is used to search the remote site profile entries to find a match.
Once a match is found, the configuration parameters defined within that remote site profile
are used to finish establishing the PPP connection. For example, if this IOLINK router
receives an ISDN call from another device and in response to the user name prompt
receives the name “Calgary”, it will look in the remote site list for a profile with the alias
“Calgary”. If the “Calgary” profile is found, the parameters in it will be used for password
authentication and completion of the connection. If there is no match for the user name
“Calgary”, the call will be rejected.
The remote site profile alias, user name of the security entry, and the user
name defined on the partner PPP router must all be the same for the
connection to be established.

2.3.2 - Configure Remote Site Profile for Frame Relay
Each of the PVC’s on the frame relay service must be configured within an individual
remote site profile on the IOLINK router. This is usually done automatically through the
auto-learning process. When the frame relay router first starts up it will query the frame
relay service to try to determine the PVC configurations. If the DLCI numbers of the
PVC’s on your service are determined during startup, the IOLINK router will
automatically create a remote site profile for each PVC. The automatically created remote
site profiles will be named “LinkxDLCIyyy” where x is the physical link number the PVC
is on and yyy is the DLCI of the PVC.
If during this learning process the maximum number of remote sites has been
reached, the IOLINK router will prompt you that there are no remote sites available.
A new remote site cannot be auto-created unless one of the existing remote sites is
manually deleted.
These automatically created remote site profiles may be renamed for easier identification
or usage by changing the Remote Site Alias.

When configuring the IOLINK router to use PAP or CHAP security
authentication, after the IOLINK router has automatically created remote site
profiles for each of the PVC’s, either the remote site profile alias must be
changed to match the Outgoing User Name configured on the remote site
router or vice versa. If the local remote site alias and the remote site routers
outgoing user name do not match, the PVC will always fail with a security
violation. Also note that PPP encapsulation must be enabled to run security
access authentication.
With auto-learning, the above is all that is required of the user to set-up frame relay
remote site profiles. If desired, parameters may be entered manually as follows:

2.3.3 - Configure Remote Site Profiles for Leased Line PPP
Remote Site Profiles allow the IOLINK router to have different sets of configuration
parameters for each of the possible remote site PPP routers that may be connected to this
IOLINK router. This allows greater control over the configuration of each possible PPP
connection.
Each remote site profile is named with an alias. The alias provides a simple method of
maintaining configuration control over the remote site profiles defined. For example, a
remote site profile may be created with a name that describes the location of the remote
PPP router. The alias also provides a method of matching a remote site profile and its
configuration settings to a particular user name on an incoming connection. When a PPP
security user name is defined the same as one of the remote site profiles, that remote site
profile will be used for PPP negotiations after the security authentication process has passed.
In other words, when this IOLINK router receives a link connection attempt it will prompt
the remote device for a user name and password (PPP security). Once the name and
password have been authenticated, the user name is used to search the remote site profile
entries to find a match. Once a match is found, the configuration parameters defined within
that remote site profile are used to finish establishing the PPP connection.
The outgoing user name in the remote site security parameters entry, and the remote
site alias defined on the partner PPP router must be the same to allow for proper
operation.
The following steps must be performed on the IOLINK-520 & IOLINK-PRO in order to

2.4 Advanced Features
2.4.1 - Configure Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol
The IOLINK-520 & IOLINK-PRO use Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) to
allow users in a small office environment to be added and removed from a network with all
of the network information (i.e. IP address, DNS, subnet mask, etc.) being configured
automatically. DHCP configures devices (DHCP clients) from a central DHCP server. It is
designed to allocate network addresses to a number of hosts on the IOLINK router’s LAN
and supply the minimal configuration needed to allow hosts to operate in an IP network.
The following steps must be performed on the IOLINK-520 & IOLINK-PRO to configure
it as a DHCP server.

The IP address pool option requires setting the first IP address in the
range that is to be used for the devices attached to the DHCP Server.
The number of addresses to be assigned must also be specified, to a
maximum of 253.
When setting up a router as a DHCP server, you may not assign an address
pool that includes broadcast addresses (all ones in the host portion of the IP
address) for known networks. Known networks include any local networks
plus standard A, B and C class addresses.
With the DHCP Services and IP Address Pool defined, devices may be attached to the
network (up to the maximum specified) and they will be automatically configured.
When setting up a router as a DHCP server that will have both a DNS server
on the internal network and a remote connection to another DNS server (for
example, through an ISP), then the local DNS server should be set as the
primary DNS and the external DNS server as the secondary DNS.

2.4.2 - Network Address Translation and Port Translation
The IOLINK-520 & IOLINK-PRO provide support for Network Address Translation
(NAT). Network Address Translation is a technique that translates private IP address on a
private network to valid global IP addresses for access to the Internet. Network Address
Port Translation (NAPT) translates both the IP address and the port number. The
advantage of port translation is that more than one private IP address can be translated to
the same global IP address. Port translation allows data exchanges initiated from hosts with
private IP addresses to be sent to the Internet via the IOLINK router using a single global
IP address. A global IP address must be assigned to the WAN link upon which NAPT is
enabled for port translation to work. The global IP address will be assigned by the ISP.
To use NAPT, the private network addresses of the services that will be available globally
must be assigned:

2.4.3 - Security
The IOLINK router provides a number of means of providing security on incoming and
outgoing traffic on a network. These methods include the IPsec protocol suite, access
password authentication, firewall limiting access to only designated device addresses, private
network address translation (NAT) and filtering for both incoming and outgoing traffic.
2.4.3.1 – IPSec Protocol Suite
The PPP IOLINK-520 & IOLINK-PRO support a number of features from the Internet
Protocol Security (IPSec) extensions that provide data encryption, authentication and
privacy. IPSec can be used to establish a secure Virtual Private Network (VPN) over a
public network. The connection through the unsecured public network between two routers
on a VPN is often referred to as a “tunnel”.
A VPN is set-up as a Security Association (SA) between the two routers (also known as
security gateways in this case) on either end of the desired secure connection. The SA
defines the security parameters that will be used between the two routers. Many of the
settings define “source” and “destination” parameters. These settings will be mirror images
on the partner routers; i.e. the “source” value for a parameter will become the “destination”
setting when configuring the partner router.
Each router on the VPN has a policy list which defines the SAs, the IPSec authentication
and encryption parameters, and the rules used to determine which packets are passed
through the interface. The IPSec policy is applied at the outbound interface of the router
and packets enter the tunnel at the outbound interface.

The figure above illustrates an example if a VPN made up of two private address LANs joined
through the Internet by IPsec tunnels from router 1 to router 2 and router 2 to router 1. The routers
are set-up with numbered links, so that each routers Internet connection has a publicly known address
that is separate from the private LAN IP address for that router. Note that this example does not

make provision for NAT to be used with tunneling. We will use this example for the configuration
on the pages that follow.
The setup for an IPSec connection is done in the IP security set-up menu under Configuration -

2.4.3.3 - Configure Firewall
The IOLINK-520 & IOLINK-PRO provide Firewall security for restricting access between
any two networks connected through the router. Firewalls are set-up on a per connection
basis for the LAN and remote sites. The direction of filtering is from the perspective of the
IOLINK router; incoming traffic is from the network in question to the IOLINK router,
outgoing is from the IOLINK router to the network. The direction of filtering may be set to
incoming, outgoing, both or none. Once the direction of filtering for a connection has been
set, holes may be created in the firewall to allow specified traffic through. Normally, the
LAN firewall is used for restricting intranet traffic (connections within the corporate network)
and remote site firewalls are used to limit access from less trusted sources, such as the Internet
or dial-up ISDN links.
The following diagram shows a corporate head office network, which is connected, to the
Internet with an IOLINK router. There is also a branch office at a remote site connected
with a leased link. The administrator at the corporate head office wishes to set-up an IP
firewall to allow everyone on the Internet to have access to the corporate FTP and Web
servers and nothing else. The administrator also wishes to allow all of the TCP traffic from
the branch office network to have access to the head office. Anyone in the corporation may
have unrestricted access to the Internet.

Introduction to Filtering

Introduction
to Filtering
The IOLINK-520 & IOLINK-PRO provide programmable filtering which gives you the
ability to control under what conditions Ethernet frames are forwarded from one network
to another. There are many reasons why this might need to be accomplished, some of
which are security, protocol discrimination, bandwidth conservation, and general
restrictions.
Filtering may be accomplished by using two different methods. The first method is to filter
or forward frames based solely on their source or destination MAC address. This method
of filtering is useful when bridging between LANs and for providing remote access security
in any type of network. The Ethernet MAC (Media Access Control) address is checked
against the addresses in the filtering list and the frame is filtered or forwarded accordingly.
The second method of filtering is pattern filtering where each frame is checked against a
filter pattern. The filter pattern may be defined to perform a check of any portion of the
Ethernet frame. Separate filter patterns may be defined for bridged frames, IP routed
frames, and IPX routed frames.
For more information on filtering, please refer to the Programmable Filtering section of the
IOLINK-520 & IOLINK-PRO Reference Manual located on the accompanying CD-ROM.
MAC Address Filtering
MAC address filtering is provided by three built-in functions.
The first function is “Filter if Source”; the second is “Filter if Destination.” The third
function allows you to change the filter operation from “positive” to “negative.” The
positive filter operation causes frames with the specified MAC addresses to be filtered. The
negative filter operation causes frames with the specified MAC addresses to be forwarded.
You may easily prevent any station on one segment from accessing a specific resource on
the other segment; for this, “positive” filtering and the use of “Filter if Destination” would
be appropriate. If you want to disallow a specific station from accessing any service, “Filter
if Source” could be used.
You may easily prevent stations on one segment from accessing all but a specific resource
on the other segment; for this, “negative” filtering and the use of “Forward if Destination”
would be appropriate. If you want to disallow all but one specific station from accessing any
service on the other segment, the use of “Forward if Source” could be used.

Introduction to Filtering
Pattern Filtering
Pattern filtering is provided in three separate sections: Bridge Pattern Filters, IP Router
Pattern Filters, and IPX Router Pattern Filters. When the IOLINK router is operating as an
IP/IPX Bridge/Router, each of the frames received is passed on to the appropriate internal
section of the IOLINK router. The IPX frames are passed on to the IPX router, the IP
frames are passed on to the IP router, and all other frames are passed on to the bridge.
Different pattern filters may be defined in each of these sections to provide very extensive
pattern filtering on LAN traffic being sent to remote LANs.
Pattern filters are created by defining an offset value and a pattern match value. The offset
value determines the starting position for the pattern checking. An offset of 0 indicates that
the pattern checking starts at the beginning of the data frame. An offset of 12 indicates that
the pattern checking starts at the 12th octet of the data frame. When a data frame is
examined in its HEX format, an octet is a pair of HEX values with offset location 0 starting
at the beginning of the frame. Please refer to Appendix C - Octet Locations on Ethernet Frames
for more information on octet locations in data frames.
The pattern match value is defined as a HEX string that is used to match against the data
frame. If the HEX data at the appropriate offset location in the data frame matches the
HEX string of the filter pattern, there is a positive filter match. The data frame will be
filtered according to the filter operators being used in the filter pattern.
The following operators are used in creating Pattern filters.
-
offset
Used in pattern filters to determine the starting position to start the pattern
checking.
Example:
12-80
This filter pattern will match if the packet
information starting at the 12th octet equals the 80
of the filter pattern.
|
OR
Used in combination filters when one or the other conditions must be met.
Example:
10-20|12-80
This filter pattern will match if the packet
information starting at the 10th octet equals the 20
of the filter pattern or if the packet information
starting at the 12th octet equals the 80 of the filter
pattern.
&
AND
Used in combination filters when one and the other conditions must be
met.
Example:
10-20&12-80
This filter pattern will match if the packet
information starting at the 10th octet equals the 20
of the filter pattern and the packet information
starting at the 12th octet equals the 80 of the filter
pattern.
~
NOT
Used in pattern filters to indicate that all packets not matching the defined
pattern will be filtered.

Introduction to Filtering
This filter pattern will match if the packet
Example:
~12-80
information starting at the 12th octet does not
equal the 80 of the filter pattern.
( ) brackets Used in pattern filters to separate portions of filter patterns for specific
operators.
Example: 12-80&(14-24|14-32) This filter pattern will be checked in two
operations. First the section in brackets will be
checked and then the results of the first check will
be used in the second check using the first portion
of the filter pattern. If the packet information
starting at the 14th octet equals 24 or 32, and the
information at the 12th octet equals 80, the filter
pattern will match.
Popular Filters
Shown here are some of the more commonly used pattern filters.
Bridge
Bridge pattern filters are applied to Ethernet frames that are bridged only. When the
IOLINK router is operating as a router, all routed frames will be unaffected by the bridge
pattern filters.

IP Router
IP router pattern filters are applied to IP Ethernet frames that are being routed. When the
IOLINK router is operating as an IP router, all IP routed frames will be checked against the
defined IP router pattern filters. IP routed frames are unaffected by the bridge pattern
filters and the IPX router pattern filters.

Menu Trees
The menu trees on the following pages are a graphical representation of the hierarchy of the built-in
menu system of the IOLINK-520 & IOLINK-PRO. Each of the menus are shown with the
options of the menus being displayed below the specific menu name.
Each of the menu options shown in each of the menu trees is explained in the accompanying
IOLINK-520 & IOLINK-PRO VPN Menus Manual located on the accompanying CD-ROM.
Menu names are displayed in boxes. The numbers on the left side of the boxes indicate the menu
option from the parent menu that this menu corresponds to. All menu options are listed with
numbers indicating their actual position within the menu system.
Menu options contained within a grayed box are ISDN options. Menu options contained within a
black box are Frame Relay options.

Appendix B
Octet Locations on
Ethernet Frames
This appendix provides octet locations for the various portions of three of the common
Ethernet frames. When creating pattern filters these diagrams will assist in the correct
definition of the patterns. The offset numbers are indicated by the numbers above the
frame representations.
Note the differences in the TCP/IP and Novell frames when bridging and when routing.
When routing, the TCP/IP and Novell frames are examined after the Level 2 Ethernet
portion of the frame has been stripped from the whole data frame. This means that the
offset numbers now start from 0 at the beginning of the routed frame and not the bridged
frame.
Some of the common Ethernet type codes are also shown here. The Ethernet type codes
are located at offset 12 of the bridged Ethernet frame.

1)
2)
Remove power from the bridge/router.
Remove the screw securing the LAN / Console module to the rear of the
bridge/router. Be sure to grip the module only by the flange at the bottom of the
metal panel.
3)
Unplug the LAN / Console module approximately 1/2 inch from the
bridge/router. Be sure to grip the module only by the flange at the bottom of the
metal panel. The module only needs to be removed slightly to disconnect the
module from the internal main board.
WARNING:
Because of the close proximity of the AC power from the power
coupler, do not insert anything into the LAN / Console opening while
the bridge/router is powered up.
4)
Reattach the power to the bridge/router and wait for the power-up diagnostics to
finish. The Power LED will turn green.

Important: there must be a module in slot 1 (left side module position when viewed from
the rear of the unit) before a module in slot 2 (center position) will operate.
For IOLINK-520 models, if a LAN 2 module is installed it must go in slot 1. Note
in addition that installing a LAN 2 module will clear the IP address of LAN 1.
After installing a LAN 2 module, the IP address for both LANs must be entered.
Selecting MDI or MDI-X LAN Interface
For most LANs, where a number of devices are connected via a hub, this router will be
connected via the LAN cable to the MDI port. However, in locations where a single
workstation is to be connector to the router, the cable from the workstation should be
plugged into the MDI-X port. This eliminates the need for a hub at a remote site that has
only one LAN device.

Installing the ISDN Link Modules
If there is an ISDN module plus another type of WAN interface module or if there
is a single ISDN module, the ISDN U or S/T Module must only be installed in the
Slot 1 position. The slot 2 position may contain another type of WAN module or
may be unused and covered with a blank panel. For IOLINK-520 models, if there
is a second LAN module in this unit, it must go in the Slot 1 position and the ISDN
module in Slot 2.
Note: the older double width type ISDN module will not fit in this device.

Processor settings for the ISDN Link Modules
ISDN S/T or U modules have jumper straps to set the module for the CPU used on the main
board. On an S/T interface, these are labeled W1 and W2; on a U interface, the pins are labeled
J1. When installing an ISDN module, check the jumpers to be certain that they are configured to
operate with the 360 series CPU by having both straps across pins W1 and W2 (S/T module) or
across pins 1-3 and 2-4 at J1 (U module), as illustrated in the figure below.

Servicing Information
Changing the Termination Straps on the ISDN S/T
Interface
The ISDN S/T link interface module has two configurable straps that control whether the
ISDN LINE is set to terminated or unterminated.
Jumper straps W5 and W6 are factory installed to configure the module as TERMINATED.
The TERMINATED position is used when the bridge/router is the only ISDN device
connected to the ISDN circuit.
Removing the W5 and W6 straps sets the module to UNTERMINATED. This allows this
bridge/router to be part of a daisy-chain connection to the ISDN circuit by using the ISDN
AUX connector.

Connecting to the ISDN-U Link Module
The connection to the central office is made with the RJ45 connector on the panel
of the U Module. Pins 4 and 5 are used for the connection. These pins are polarity
insensitive.
The Ferrite module included with the ISDN U Module must be installed on the cable that is
connected to the ISDN U Module. The Ferrite module must be installed approximately two
inches from the RJ45 connector at the bridge/router end of the cable. The cable must pass
through the Ferrite module twice with a Single loop around the Ferrite module.

Servicing Information
Performing a Software Upgrade
1) Execute the Network (TFTP) command from the Load FLASH Set-Up
menu.
2) Enter “none” to connect locally or enter the remote site ID number or alias
to connect to a remote site.
3) Start the TFTP application to be used for transfers to the router.
(The IP address of the router may be found in the Internet Set-Up menu.).
4) Put the file “###.all” to the router from the Operational Code directory on
the CD-ROM.
(Any router not in Network Load BOOT mode will respond with an access
violation error.)
5) The router will verify the file “###.all” in memory, program and verify the
FLASH, clear the configuration to default values (except: IP Address, IP
Routing state, IP Forwarding state, WAN Environment, Link 1 & 2 State,
the Switch Type, Directory Numbers, SPIDs, Password and connection
data for the remote site, if applicable), and then reset. After the reset, the
router will operate normally using the newly upgraded software. In some
upgrade situations the Directory Numbers and SPIDs may be corrupted
after the upgrade and will need to be re-entered.
- The router may take up to two (2) minutes to program and verify the
FLASH. The console will not respond during this time.
To check on the router’s current state during this process, get the file
“status.txt” from the router. This file will report the router’s state: both the
mode and version if no errors have occurred, or an error message.
On the rare occasion that during the programming of the FLASH something
happens to the bridge/router (power hit or hardware reset), causing the FLASH
to become corrupted, the bridge/router will restart in ZMODEM receive mode
only. If the bridge/router does not start in ZMODEM receive mode: power down
the bridge/router, remove the WAN module(s) and, if present, the second LAN
module, power up the bridge/router. The bridge/router should now restart and
be in ZMODEM receive mode. Once the file transfer is complete, the router will
again come up in ZMODEM receive mode. Power down the unit and replace the
interface modules.

Servicing Information
In the following diagram of a cluster of routers, when upgrading the three
IOLINK routers in the diagram, the upgrade order should be Router C, then
Router B, and finally Router A.
A TFTP software load to router C would be performed as follows:
-
-
Using TFTP, get config.txt from each router and save.
Telnet to Router C. Enter the ID or alias of Router B in the Network (TFTP)
option to put Router C in Network Load mode. When Router C restarts in
Network Load mode, the connection to “Router B” will be re-established
only if autocall is enabled on router B.
-
The TFTP transfer of the upgrade code may now be performed from the PC
to Router C. Once Router C has completed programming the flash and has
restarted in operational mode, the connection to Router B will be re-
established only if autocall is enabled on router B.
Once router C is operating with the new software, the PC may be used to reload the
config.txt file back to Router C.
Repeat for Router B, then again for Router A. Perform the Router B upgrade using the
ID or alias of Router A. Router A upgrades would not require a remote site ID as the
PC used for TFTP transfers is located on the same LAN as Router A.

Appendix D
Interface Pinouts
Pinout Information
Each link interface available is described with detailed information on pin designation. Standard
interface cables will provide correct connections to modems, datasets, or DSU/CSUs.
When connecting two bridge/routers back-to-back without modems, a null-modem cable is
required to crossover the pins on the links. Crossing over the pins allows two
bridge/routers both configured as DTE interfaces to be connected together. With this
configuration, both bridge/routers will provide clocking for the links, and each
bridge/router must have a link speed defined.
Link Clocking Information
All of the link interfaces on the IOLINK router act as DTE devices, this means that they
may be directly connected to DCE devices (modems, etc.) with the DCE devices providing
the clocking for the link. The link speed is controlled by the DCE device. Setting the link
speed on the IOLINK router will not result in a speed change on the link.
Some DCE devices allow the DTE devices connected to them to supply a clock signal
which is then routed back to the transmit clock pins on the DCE interface. This clock is
then received by the IOLINK router link interface. By using this method, the IOLINK
router may be in control of the link speed. The link speed may also be controlled by the
IOLINK router when a null-modem cable is used to connect two IOLINK routers in a
back-to-back configuration.
Changing the link speed within the menu system of the IOLINK router changes the clock
output speed that is generated on the DTE Terminal Timing pins (external clocking pins) on
the link interfaces.
ATL-CSU/DSU Link Module Information
The IOLINK-520 & IOLINK-PRO are currently produced with LXT CSU/DSU interface
modules; however, the earlier model ATL CSU/DSU module is still compatible with the
IOLINK router and may be used with it. Note that ATL master mode signaling is not
compatible with the current standard 64K master mode signaling; therefore, for back to
back connections, an ATL unit will only operate at 64K when connected to another ATL
unit. If one interface is an ATL unit and the other is not, back to back operation must be set
to 56K.
The ATL-CSU/DSU link module is normally configured to receive clock from the
connected network. When two ATL-CSU/DSU link modules are to be used on a leased
line in a back-to-back set-up, one of the modules must provide the clock.

Interface Pinouts
These modules may have either the UP/DOWN switch type or the ON/OFF slide switch
type. Each type is illustrated below.

LINE
Figure D-1 Rear View of ATL-CSU/DSU Link Module with UP/DOWN Switches
Figure D-2 View of ATL-CSU/DSU Link Module with Sliding ON/OFF Switches
When connecting two bridge/routers back-to-back with CSU/DSU link modules, a null-modem
cable is required to crossover the pins on the links. Crossing over the pins allows two
bridge/routers both configured as DTE interfaces to be connected together.
Switch number 1 determines whether the ATL-CSU/DSU link module will generate clocks or
receive clocks. When switch 1 is down (on), the normal position, the module receives clock
signals from the connected network. When switch 1 is up (up), the module will generate clocks.
When a pair of IOLINK routers are connected back-to-back with CSU/DSU link modules one
module must be set to generate clocks and one module must be set to receive clocks.
On 64 Kbps units only, switch number 3 determines the mode of the ATL-CSU/DSU. When
switch 3 is down (on), the ATL-CSU/DSU is in DDS (Digital Data Service) mode for normal
connection to the 64 Kbps digital service. When switch 3 is up (off), the ATL-CSU/DSU is in
LDM (Limited Distance Modem) mode for back-to-back connection with a null-modem cable.
On 56 Kbps units, the position of switch 3 is not a factor for back-to-back connection with a null-
modem cable. Switch 1 must still be set as noted above.
A DSU/CSU crossover cable would be constructed as follows:
1 --> 7
2 --> 8
7 --> 1
8 --> 2

Figure D-11 RS530 Null-Modem Cable
The connecting cable must be a shielded cable.
Circuits which are paired (contain an (A) and (B) reference) should be connected to
twisted pairs within the connecting cable.
This cable is needed when it is necessary to connect two units back-to-back and a set of
modems is not available. Note that this cable specifies DB25 connectors on each end to
allow direct connection to the link interface connector on each unit. The link speed
must be defined for each of the two units.

The connecting cable must be a shielded cable.
Circuits which are paired (contain an (A) and (B) reference) should be connected to
twisted pairs within the connecting cable.
This cable is needed when it is necessary to connect two units back-to-back and a set of
modems is not available. Note that this cable specifies DB15 connectors on each end to
allow direct connection to the link interface connector on each unit. The link speed
must be defined for each of the two units.
When using this cable to connect two units back-to-back, a jumper must be installed on
pinheaders W8 and W9 on one of the V.11/X.27 interface modules. This allows that
particular module to generate the required timing signals.
