NTRODUCTION
This guide is intended to aid the configuration of a unit in a number
of common circumstances. It assumes that the reader is familiar with
basic networking terminology and techniques and has read the
Internetworking Concepts Guide.
Requirements
Before attempting any configuration of the unit, the IP address (and
subnet mask) of the local area network and the ISDN number of the
unit must be known.
The unit must be powered-up and connected to a correctly functioning
ISDN line, using the supplied cable, following the instructions given in
the unit’s Installation Guide.
Management System Commands
The commands in this guide are always shown in upper-case letters
(for clarity) but they can be entered in either upper- or lower-case
with the exception of passwords and unit names. These are
case-sensitive and must be entered correctly. The default password
for a unit in factory standard configuration (PASSWORD)
must
be
entered in upper-case letters only.
Unit Naming Convention
Throughout this guide the text uses the convention of “central site
unit” to represent a unit situated on a network at a larger branch or
regional office, to which a number of units may connect using
dial-up ISDN links. The text refers to these latter units as “remote site
units”, which are likely to be situated in smaller offices.
