Site Requirements

Environment: 32–104oF (0-40oC) and 5–95% humidity, non-condensing.

An AC power outlet of the appropriate voltage (110–125/60 Hz or 200–240

VAC/50 Hz) must be located within five feet of the device.

For adequate air flow, allow at least four inches of clearance at the rear and at

least two inches at the sides, front, and top. DO NOT remove the rubber

mountingfeet from the bottom of the unit, as these provide necessary space for

air flow through the fan. Also, make sure the FRX4000 sits on its mounting

feet, not on its sheet metal bottom surface. Do not place the unit on a surface

that is smaller in area than the spaces between the mounting feet.

If you will be rack mounting the FRX4000, the holes in the vertical mounting

angles in the rack must either be threaded (10-32) or have captive nuts installed.

For reference, an FRX4000 weighs 9 lbs. (4.1 kg), and is 17.5" (44 cm) wide,

11" (27.7 cm) deep, and 1.75" (4.4 cm) high.

Required Equipment

Tools

The only tools you need are a small flat-head screwdriver and a medium

Phillips-head screwdriver.

User Cables

The LAN interface on the Ethernet model of FRX4000 is provided in RJ-45

(UTP) and 15-pin "D" female (AUI, for Thicknet). The LAN interface on the

Token Ring model is provided in RJ-45 (UTP) and 9-pin "D" female (STP).

The LAN cable and, if Ethernet AUI, the transceiver, must be provided by the

customer.

The optional CSU/DSU interface is RJ-48S. The cablemust be provided by the

customer.

Assuming that you ordered the necessary WAN interface cables with the

FRX4000, you will need to know which cable will plug into which WAN port.

Table 1 (on page 7) lists the WAN ports and cables.

Installation & Setup Guide 1

Operator Interface

The FRX4000 does not require a keyboard or terminal for normal operation.

However, setup and configuration of a new FRX4000 requires a directly con-

nected async terminal or a PC emulating a terminal.

Set the async terminal device for:

9600 bps Autowrap Application keypad

8 bits no parity No newline Application cursor key

No break VT100 mode Tab every 8 columns

For direct connection to a terminal or PC, each FRX4000 is shipped with:

• Cable, DB9S to DB9S, 5 feet, Cabletron number FRX-PC-CAB, for

connecting the Console port (see Figure 7 on page 6) directly to a PC

(with software emulating an async terminal). (See Figure 1.)

• Adapter, DB9P to DB25S, Cabletron number FRX-9/25-ADAP, for

connecting the FRX4000 directly (via cable FRX-PC-CAB) to a cus-

tomer-supplied async terminal (See Figure 2).

• Cable, DB9S to DB9P, 5 feet, Cabletron number FRX-MOD-CAB,for

connecting the FRX4000 to a modem. (See Figure 3.) This requires the

following, supplied by the customer:

• Two auto-answer modems, capable of 9600 bps. (If the modem at

the FRX4000 end does not have a DB25S connector, you will also

need a gender adapter.)

• One straight-through cable from async terminal to modem.

Installation & Setup Guide 3

Installing an FRX4000

The customer and sales representative decide on the necessary hardware and

software components at the time a FRX4000 is ordered. These components

(except cables) are then installed before the unit is shipped to the customer.

Steps to be taken at the customer site are described in this section.

1. Unpackand inspect the equipment. A shipment will generally include two

boxes, the contents of which are described below. If there is evidence of

physical damage, contact the transport company that delivered the

equipment. If parts are missing, contact your sales representative.

Box 1 contains:

• "Read Me First" packet: includes software license agreement, updates

to this document, and other pertinent information.

• FRX4000 (including serial expansion card, if ordered).

• Power cable.

• One V.35 DTE I/O cable.

• Auxiliary Console cable set:

Cable FRX-PC-CAB

Cable FRX-MOD-CAB

Adapter FRX-9/25-ADAP.

• Rack-mount kit:

2 rack-mount brackets|

12 6-32x1/4 flat-head screws

4 10-32x5/8 pan-head screws

4 #10 split-ring lock washers

4 #10 flat washers.

• This Installation & Setup guide.

Box 2 contains all other cables that were ordered with the FRX4000.

2. Record the serial number found on the bottom of the FRX4000. This will

be needed for any correspondence with Cabletron Systems concerning the

device.

3. If you are not rack mounting the unit, go to step 5. If you are mounting the

unit into a 19-inch rack, attach the mounting brackets as shown in Figure

4, using the 6-32x¼ screws included with the brackets.

Notethat the design of the brackets allowsyou to attach them with the tabs

at either the front or the rear of the FRX4000.

4. Attach the FRX4000 to the rack's mounting angles as shown in the next

two figures. If mounting the device into a rack with EIA-standard hole

spacing (repeating pattern of 5/8"-5/8"-1/2"), make sure each mounting

tabon theFRX4000is centered ona hole with 5/8" between itand the next

hole in either direction, as shown in Figure 5.

Console Port

Tighten the retaining screws on each WAN port cable connector and the

Console port cable connector. If attaching a Thick Ethernet cable to the

AUI port,note that the connector has a slide latch. Snap the latch over the

posts on the cable connector to lock it in place.

If the assembly is rack mounted, secure the cables to the sides of the ver-

tical rails or to a horizontal bar or rail with cable ties, to provide strain

relief to the cable connectors.

WAN ports 0-7 provide the following interfaces:

* If the optional CSU/DSUport is used, WAN port1 is not functional.

DCE cables have female connectors at the user end, and DTE

cables have male connectors.

Installation & Setup Guide 7

The cable connected to the Console Port dependson what device is at the

other end of the cable, as shown in Figure 1 through Figure 3.

6. Make sure the AC power switch on the rear of the FRX4000 (see Figure

7) is Off. (The switch is off when the left side is depressed.) This is simply

to assure the FRX4000 will not start before you are ready.

7. Plug the other ends of the cables into the appropriate devices: modems,

user devices, other FRX4000s, extender cables, AC receptacle.

Secure each connector by the appropriate means. Note that each WAN

port cable has retaining screws to secure it to another cableor device. The

mating connector should have threaded (4-40) stand-offs to accept the

screws. If it does not, wrap the connection with cable ties, electrical tape,

or something else that will ensure a secure fit.

8. Switchon the terminal (if necessary), then the FRX4000. The FRX4000's

green Power light should come on.

9. As the FRX4000 boots (starts), a series of messages will be displayed,

tracking the loading of the software. These messages are written to a file

named BOOTRPT.TXT. If there appears to be a problem during boot-up,

the contents of this file can be displayed (as described later), to help

determine the problem.

When theboot process is complete, a screen similarto Figure 9willbe dis-

played. (No status will be shown until the software is configured.)

10. Now you must configure the software from the Auxiliary Console.

Records must be configured to identify the locations and operating param-

eters of the FRX4000 and its ports. Configuration of these records is doc-

umented in the Netlink FRX4000/FRX6000 User Guide,which is shipped

with each FRX6000 and is optional with FRX4000.

If you want to proceed to the configuration screens, press [F1] at the Port

Status Display. When prompted, type (uppercase) NETLINK, then press

[Enter]. (NETLINK is specified as the password when the software is

installed. This can be changed in a menu operation.) This will display the

Main Menu.

Figure 10 Main Menu

Installation & Setup Guide 9

To select a menu item, press the letter displayed at the left of theitem. To

display a list of valid options at any point, press the [?] key.

If you wantto display the BOOTRPT.TXT file, press [F], then [C] from the

Main Menu.

This completes the installation. If this FRX4000 is the first one in a network

that contains other FRX4000s running an older release of the software, the new

software can be downloaded to the other FRX4000s. (This works only with

other FRX4000s-although the base software is the same, you cannot download

from an FRX4000 to an FRX6000, 9W004, or SmartSwitch 1800.)

Updating Other FRX4000s

To remotely update another FRX4000 with software from the new FRX4000,

follow this procedure:

1. Make sure File Transfer IDs are specified in the Node Defaults records of

both FRX4000s.

2. Press [C] at the On-Line Node Operations menu (or [B], [A], [C] from the

Main Menu).

3. When prompted, enter the File Transfer ID and password of the node you

are updating.

4. Press [Y] or [N] when asked: Will the remote node be using any of IP, LLC2,

or IPX?

5. Press [Y] when asked:Are you sure you want todo a remote software update?

The transfer process, repeated for each file, is as follows:

1. The originating node will send a message that includes the name and size

of the largest file to be sent. A request for the remote node's release

number will also be sent with the first file name. If the release numbers of

the sending and receiving nodes are incompatible, the transfer will not

occur, and an error message will be displayed. If this happens, contact

your service representative.

2. The remote node will check to make sure there is enough disk space to

accept the file; if not, the connection will be cleared and a corresponding

message displayed. If there is enough disk space, the file will be trans-

ferred, and stored in the remotenode under a temporary filename until the

node verifies that the file is the expected size. (If it is not, the temporary

file will be deleted.)

3. If the temporary file is the expected size, the "old" file will be deleted and

the new file renamed. As the update progresses, you can press [F4] at any

time to abort thetransfer andcleartheconnection. Oncethe update iscom-

plete, the sending node will clear the connection.
