CHAPTER 1
OVERVIEW
This chapter describes steps for operation of the WPIM-RT1. It also
briefly explains WPIM-RT1 features, ISDN, and indicates where to find
the WAN protocols supported by the WPIM-RT1.
Some of the steps for successful operation of this device are:
Install the WPIM-RT1 in a Wide Area Network host platform. Refer to
Chapter 2 for direction on installation procedures. Refer to the
appropriate host platform manual (i.e., the Cabletron Systems
CyberSwitch CSX400 and CSX400-DC Installation Guide)
for other
installation and troubleshooting procedures.
Set up and access Local Management. Refer to the appropriate host
platform User’s Guide for instructions on setting up and accessing
Local Management. Refer to Chapter 3 for Local Management
information for the HSIM-W6 and the CSX400. Refer to the Cabletron
Systems
HSIM-SSA710 User’s Guide
for information on setting up the
WPIM-RT1 using management with the HSIM-SSA710.
Configure the device. Due to the automation of setup features, it is
strongly recommended to use the Graphical User Interface QuickSET.
NOTE
The device in which the WPIM-RT1 is to be installed may be
referred to as the host platform in this documentation.
QuickSET is the desired method for configuring the
WPIM-RT1. Check the Release Notes for the availability of
QuickSET for configuration.
Refer to Chapter 3 to use Local Management to configure the
WPIM-RT1 for the CSX400 and the HSIM-W6, if QuickSET is
not available. Refer to the Cabletron Systems
HSIM-SSA710
User’s Guide
to configure the WPIM-RT1 if the HSIM-SSA710
is the host platform.
