The package includes one or more DEC ISDN Controller 100 devices (otherwise known as DIV32 boards) bundled with licences for VMS, DECnet and VAX ISDN software. Six varieties of the DEC ISDN Router 100 package exist, giving single or multiple ISDN basic rate access(es) (S0). These are: · DISDN-A2, with one DIV32, for 120V operation · DISDN-A3, with one DIV32, for 240V operation · DISDN-B2, with two DIV32's, for 120V operation · DISDN-B3, with two DIV32's, for 240V operation · DISDN-C2, with three DIV32's, for 120V operation · DISDN-C3, with three DIV32's, for 240V operation. 1.2.1 Configuration The DEC ISDN Router 100 configuration consists of: · One VAXserver 3300 base system (for 120V or 240V power supplies) · One to three (maximum) DIV32 boards (M7531-PA) installed in the VAXserver 3300 · DIV32 loopback plugs (H3072) · The Vax ISDN Software licence (note that VMS comes already installed, so a separate licence for this is not required) Introduction 1-1 · One console used for maintenance and troubleshooting purposes. 1.2.2 Physical Description The ISDN Router system components are housed in a BA215 pedestal system enclosure with the following dimensions: · Height: 67.5 cm (27.0 in) · Width: 34.0 cm (13.6 in) · Depth: 44.5 cm (17.8 in) 1.2.3 Operating Conditions and Electrical Requirements The DEC ISDN Router 100 must comply with the VAXserver 3300 environmental and electrical requirements. Refer to the MicroVAX Site Preparation Guide for details. Note The MicroVAX Site Preparation Guide describes the physical, environmental, and electrical requirements for operating the system. It is assumed that the user 's site meets all the described installation requirements. 1.3 Hardware Modules The VAXserver 3300 houses the following boards in a BA215 pedestal enclosure: · Central Processing Unit (KA640) module, which includes an on-board Ethernet controller, disk drive adaptor, and 4 Mb of main memory · One, two or three DIV32 modules (M7531-PA). Figure 1-1 shows the position of the modules in the cabinet; the illustration is of the DISDN-C2 or DISDN-C3 model, the others look the same except that they have fewer DIV32 boards. The DISDN-A2 and DISDN-A3 models have board 1 only; models DISDN-B2 and DISDN-B3 have boards 1 and 2 only. 1.4 Interfaces 1.4.1 Ethernet Interface The ISDN Router communicates over an Ethernet channel using DECnet with services on a host computer. The Router is connected to the Ethernet coaxial cable by a standard connection. The length of the connecting cable must not exceed the length specified for standard connection to Ethernet. Figure 1-2 shows a typical ISDN Router configuration. 1-2 Introduction Figure 1-1: VAXserver 3300 Module Layout 1.4.2 ISDN Interface Introduction 1-3 Figure 1-2: Typical DEC ISDN Router 100 Configuration The Router communicates with the ISDN Network over one or more Basic Rate Accesses using DECnet. Each such access comprises two "B" channels to carry the user 's information and one "D" channel dedicated to signalling (call set-up and dialling). The two "B" channels are independent--for example, one could run DECnet on one, and DECnet with VAXPSI on the other, simultaneously. The "D" channel protocol is handled by the VAX ISDN Software. The Router is connected to the ISDN wall socket by an ISDN cable which is delivered separately. 1-4 Introduction Chapter 2 ------------------------------------------------------------ Installation 2.1 Scope This chapter describes how to install the ISDN Router hardware and how to connect it to Ethernet and the ISDN wall socket.

Proceed as follows: " Insert the first tape containing the delivered software into the drive. # Create a suitable directory on the hard disk of node REMOTE, for example: $ CREATE/DIRECTORY DUA0:[TEMP] $ Issue the following command on node REMOTE: $ MOUNT MUA0: ISDN % Issue the following command on node REMOTE: $ COPY/LOG MUA0:*.* DUA0:[TEMP] This will copy the software savesets from tape to disk within the REMOTE machine. & Issue the following command on node REMOTE: $ DISMOUNT MUA0: and remove the tape. ' Log in as System on the Router console. For the purpose of the examples given here, suppose the node name to be ROUTER. ( Create a suitable directory on the hard disk of the Router, for example: $ CREATE/DIRECTORY DUA0:[TEMP] ) Issue the following command on node ROUTER: $ COPY/LOG REMOTE"SYSTEM METSYS"::DUA0:[TEMP]*.* DUA0:[TEMP] This will copy the software savesets across to the Router via Ethernet. +> Install the downloaded software on the VAXserver 3300 as described in VAX ISDN Software Installation Guide. When the installation asks you: * Where will the distribution volumes be mounted: you should reply: * Where will the distribution volumes be mounted: DUA0:[TEMP] +? After the installation, you can remove the files you copied earlier from the tape: $ DELETE DUA0:[TEMP]*.*;* +@ Finally delete the directory itself: $ SET PROTECT=W:D DUA0:[0,0]TEMP.DIR $ DELETE DUA0:[0,0]TEMP.DIR;* +A Log out from node ROUTER. +B Delete the files and directory at the console for node REMOTE: $ DELETE DUA0:[TEMP]*.*;* $ SET PROTECT=W:D DUA0:[0,0]TEMP.DIR $ DELETE DUA0:[0,0]TEMP.DIR;* +C Log out from node REMOTE. 2-4 Installation Chapter 3 ------------------------------------------------------------ Maintenance 3.1 Scope This chapter describes the ISDN Router maintenance strategy and shows how to downline load the MDM files from a host computer. 3.2 Maintenance Strategy 3.2.1 Preventive Maintenance The ISDN Router does not require any preventive maintenance. However, when you are servicing the Router, you should check for loose connectors and damaged cables. 3.2.2 Corrective Maintenance The corrective maintenance is based on finding and replacing defective FRUs. There are several diagnostic tests to help you. Observe the following sequence: 1. Run the System Power On self-tests. If the self-tests do not detect any hardware errors, then: 2. Run the Microvax Diagnostic Monitor (MDM) tests. Load the MDM software into the ISDN Router from a host computer (See Section 3.5.1). Details of the MDM tests for the ISDN Router modules are given in the chapter entitled ``Running Diagnostics and Hardware Troubleshooting'' in the DIV32 Hardware Installation Guide. 3.3 Troubleshooting Refer to the chapter entitled ``Running Diagnostics and Hardware Troubleshooting'' in the DIV32 Hardware Installation Guide for the troubleshooting procedures. Maintenance 3-1 3.4 Self-Test There are two sets of Self-tests which run simultaneously at Power On. They are: · VAXserver 3300 module Self-test · DIV32 (M7531) module Self-test · Self-Call test. 3.4.1 VAXserver Self-test This Self-test starts when you switch the ISDN Router On. Refer to the section entitled ``Autobooting the System'' in VAXserver 3300 Operation Manual for details. 3.4.2 DIV32 (M7531) Module Self-test The ISDN module Self-test starts automatically when you switch the ISDN Router On. This Self-test lasts 15 seconds. At the end of the test, the green LED located at the front of the module must remain On. This indicates that the Self-test was successful. Refer to the chapter entitled ``Running Diagnostics and Hardware Troubleshooting'' in the DIV32 Hardware Installation Guide for details. 3.4.3 Self-Call Test The VAX ISDN Software provides a self-call function. The following sequence of commands will carry it out: $ run sys$system:isdn$ncp ISDN$NCP>set line isdn_0 controller div-0 ISDN$NCP>clear line isdn_0 unit 0 incoming subaddress ISDN$NCP>clear line isdn_0 unit 1 incoming subaddress ISDN$NCP>clear line isdn_0 unit 0 incoming setup information ISDN$NCP>clear line isdn_0 unit 1 incoming setup information ISDN$NCP>set line isdn_0 state off ISDN$NCP>set line isdn_0 local address 99824220 ISDN$NCP>set line isdn_0 mode simple state on ISDN$NCP>set line isdn_0 unit 0 call setup self At this point, if an error occurs, a message will be displayed. If no message is displayed, then the self-call must have been set up successfully; in other words, correct signalling on the D-Channel will have occurred between the Router and the ISDN. Continue as follows: ISDN$NCP>exit $ run sys$system:ncp NCP>set line DIV-0-0 state on NCP>set circuit DIV-0-0 state on NCP>set line DIV-0-1 state on NCP>set circuit DIV-0-1 state on NCP>loop circuit DIV-0-0 At this point, the Router will attempt to send data over the ISDN to itself (via the B- Channels). If an error occurs, an error message will be displayed. If successful, information concerning the transfer of the data will be displayed. 3-2 Maintenance This test will continue indefinitely. Stop it by pressing ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ Ctrl-C ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ , then terminate the Self-Call like this: ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ Ctrl-C ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ NCP>exit $ run sys$system:isdn$ncp ISDN$NCP>set line isdn_0 unit 0 call clear ISDN$NCP>exit $ Note that the number 99824220 in the sequence above is an example only; in other words, you must substitute your own ISDN local address when issuing the command. For further details, see VAX ISDN Software Management Guide (refer to ``call self'' in the index). 3.5 MicroVAX Diagnostic Monitor (MDM) Tests Refer to the chapter entitled ``Running Diagnostics and Hardware Troubleshooting'' in the DIV32 Hardware Installation Guide for details. 3.5.1 Running the MDM Diagnostics The ISDN Router has no Tape Loader.

When you set the service circuit to STATE ON, DECnet resumes normal operation. 3-4 Maintenance $ Store the ISDN Router node service circuit, the Ethernet hardware address and the diagnostic boot file name in the Host node database by entering the following commands: NCP>SET NODE isdn router node name ADD isdn service circuit number NCP>SET NODE isdn router node name SERVICE CIRCUIT isdn service circuit name NCP>SET NODE isdn router node name HARDWARE ADDRESS isdn router hardware addr NCP>SET NODE isdn router node name LOAD FILE diagnostic bootfile name Storing the ISDN Router SERVICE CIRCUIT and HARDWARE ADDRESS in the Host Ethernet node database enables the ISDN Router to boot on the specified file, and the file to be automatically downloaded. % Check that the commands were entered correctly by entering: NCP>SHOW NODE isdn router node name CHARACTERISTICS The following information should be displayed. Other items may also appear, depending on the network set-up of the particular site. Node Volatile Characteristics as of 10-APR-1990 13:31:26 Remote node = 5.524 FRED Service circuit = QNA-0 Hardware address - AA-00-03-01-3C-79 Load file = MDM$MAINT:NA06AO.SYS The setting up of the host DECnet database is now complete. To DIGITAL Field Service Engineers If the customer has not purchased the necessary product licence, remove all the MDM files using the host console terminal when you have finished troubleshooting the ISDN Router. 3.5.1.2 Checking that MDM is Present on the Host Prior to downloading MDM to the ISDN Router from the host, you should check that MDM is indeed present on the host. To do this, enter the following command on the host console: $ DIRECTORY MDM$MAINT:NA06AO.SYS If this boot file is present, make sure that it is the correct version of MDM, namely 129 or higher, by looking in the release notes MDM$MAINT:MDM_RELEASE.NOTE. If the boot file is not there (or the MDM$MAINT directory does not exist), then copy the file from the TK50 tape like this (after inserting the tape containing MDM into drive 0): $ MOUNT MUA0: MDM $ CREATE/DIRECTORY SYS$SYSDEVICE:[MDMMAINT] $ ASSIGN/SYSTEM SYS$SYSDEVICE:[MDMMAINT] MDM$MAINT $ COPY/LOG MUA0:NA06AO.SYS MDM$MAINT $ DISMOUNT MUA0: Maintenance 3-5 3.5.2 Downloading Sequence Once the DECnet database has been set up, you must download the MDM software into the ISDN Router. You do this by re-booting the ISDN Router. Once re-booted, the ISDN Router sends a request to the host to download the software into its memory. The download operation then takes place automatically. The following display, indicating the progress of the download sequence, should appear on the console terminal: Loading system software. 2..1..0.. Note The system software may take a few minutes to load. The "2" in the output display indicates that the ISDN Router is sending a boot request to the host system. The "1" indicates that the MDM load file has been downloaded into the ISDN Router memory and the "0" indicates that the ISDN Router has booted without error. The load time will vary, depending on the Ethernet circuit load, but should not be more than five minutes. When the download operation has completed, you should see the initial display of the MDM Maintenance System on the console.
