Teldat SA 1 Synchronous Serial Interface Configuration

Chapter 1 Synchronous Serial Interface Configuration

1.1 Assigning the Synchronous Serial Interface

To assign a synchronous serial interface to a determined device connector, enter the SET DATA-LINK SYNC com-
mand at the general configuration menu (Config>). Should the device have more than one connector, you will be
prompted for name identifying the required connector. Contrariwise, the synchronous serial interface will be assigned
to the only corresponding type of connector in the device.

Config>set data-link sync

Config>

Config>set data-link sync serial0/0

Config>

You can verify that the interface has been correctly assigned by listing all the interfaces in the device:

Config>list devices

Interface Connector Type of interface

ethernet0/0 LAN1 Quicc Ethernet
serial0/0 SERIAL0/WAN1 Synchronous Serial Line
atm0/0 DSL1 ATM
bri0/0 BRI/ISDN1 ISDN Basic Rate Int
x25-node --- Router->Node
ppp1 --- Generic PPP
Config>

Config>list devices

Interface Connector Type of interface

ethernet0/0 LAN1 Fast Ethernet interface
serial0/0 SERIAL0/WAN1 Synchronous Serial Line
serial0/1 SERIAL1/WAN2 X25
serial0/2 SERIAL2/WAN3 X25
bri0/0 BRI/ISDN1 ISDN Basic Rate Int
x25-node --- Router->Node
ppp1 --- Generic PPP
Config>

Once the interface has been assigned you can begin the configuration process. However in order for changes to take
effect and monitoring of the said interface can take place, you need to save the configuration and restart the device.

Config>save
Save configuration (Yes/No)? y

Building configuration as text... OK

Writing configuration... OK on Flash (not saved in SmartCard)
Config>

*restart
Are you sure to restart the system(Yes/No)? y
Done

Restarting. Please wait ..................................................

1.2 Configuration Commands

1.2.1 Accessing the Synchronous Serial Interface Configuration prompt

The synchronous serial line configuration commands must be entered at the configuration prompt associated to them
(serialX/X SYNC config>). Use the NETWORK <interface_name> command (within the general configuration
prompt Config>) to access the SYNC config> prompt where <interface_name> is the name of the synchronous seri-
al interface you wish to configure.

1.2.3 DCE-EXTERNAL-CLOCK
The DCE-EXTERNAL-CLOCK command permits you to configure an external clock to use as a reference in serial
interfaces operating in DCE mode and pertain to the PCI card which has 3 WAN interfaces. The clock reference fre-
quency should be a whole multiple of the speed configured for the interface through the SPEED command.

You need to specify the external clock frequency which then serves as a clock reference.

Default is deactivated.

Syntax:

serialX/X SYNC config>dce-external-clock <external-clock-freq>

Example:

serialX/X SYNC config>dce-external-clock 512000

serialX/X SYNC config>

1.2.4 DEVICE-MODE
Configures the mode of the serial interface: DCE, DTE and AUTO.

This command cannot be used in the routers that do not have a configurable serial interface.

The configurable modes are:

DCE: Forces the interface to act like a DCE. This is the default mode for serial interfaces on our routers.

DTE: Forces the interface to act like a DTE. The DCE-DTE adaptor cable must be connected.

AUTO: The serial port will act as DCE or DTE depending on whether the DCE-DTE adaptor cable is used.

Syntax:

serialX/X SYNC config>device-mode auto

serialX/X SYNC config>device-mode DCE-forced
serialX/X SYNC config>device-mode DTE-forced

Example:

1 Synchronous Serial Interface Configuration Teldat SA

serialX/X SYNC config>device-mode DCE-forced

serialX/X SYNC config>

1.2.5 DTE-INTERNAL-CLOCKS
The DTE-INTERNAL-CLOCKS command permits you to configure the interface so when it behaves as DTE, it uses
internally generated clocks. This means it ignores the transmission and reception clocks received by the DCE. This
command is essential when setting a DTE interface in loopback mode as the external clocks do not arrive in this
said mode.

By default this is deactivated.

Syntax:

serialX/X SYNC config>dte-internal-clocks

Example:

serialX/X SYNC config>dte-internal-clocks

serialX/X SYNC config>

1.2.6 ECHO
The ECHO command configures the interface in echo mode so the transmitter resends everything it receives from
the receiver. The interface behaves as a mirror. This operating mode permits you to check all the analog part of the
interface through an external device that inserts and verifies patterns.

By default this is deactivated.

Syntax:

serialX/X SYNC config>echo

Example:

serialX/X SYNC config>echo

serialX/X SYNC config>

1.2.7 ENCODING
Configures the line encoding to be used. The possible values are: NRZ ( Not Return to Zero) and NRZI (Not Return to
Zero Inverted). The default is NRZ.

Syntax:

serialX/X SYNC config>encoding <type>

Example 1:

serialX/X SYNC config>encoding nrz

1.2.8 IDLE
Configures the inactivity state of the HDLC frames in transmission. This parameter is used to determine the type of
padding data sent when there are no packets to transmit. The possible values are: FLAG (continuous transmission of
0xFE) and MARK (continuous transmission of 0xFF). Default value is FLAG.

Syntax:

serialX/X SYNC config>idle <type>

Example 1:

serialX/X SYNC config>idle flag

serialX/X SYNC config>

Example 2:

serialX/X SYNC config>idle mark

1.2.9 IGNORE-CD
The command makes the device software ignore the CD signal status when declaring the interface UP or DOWN.
This is very useful in cases where you are working with devices which do not deliver this signal or that only activate
when transmitting. With the driver in the DTE mode, the CD signal corresponds to the CD signal delivered by the
DCE. When the driver is in DCE mode, the CD signal corresponds to the RTS signal sent by the DTE.

By default this is deactivated.

Syntax:

serialX/X SYNC config>ignore-cd

Example:

serialX/X SYNC config>ignore-cd

serialX/X SYNC config>

1.2.10 IGNORE-CTS
The command makes the device software ignore the CTS signal status when declaring the interface UP or DOWN.
This is very useful in cases where you are working with devices which do not deliver this signal or that only activate
when transmitting. With the driver in the DTE mode, the CTS signal corresponds to the CTS signal delivered by the
DCE. When the driver is in DCE mode, the CTS signal corresponds to the CD signal sent by the DTE.

By default this is deactivated.

Syntax:

serialX/X SYNC config>ignore-cts

Example:

serialX/X SYNC config>ignore-cts

serialX/X SYNC config>

1.2.11 IGNORE-DSR
The command makes the device software ignore the DSR signal status when declaring the interface UP or DOWN.
This is very useful in cases where you are working with devices which do not deliver this signal or that only activate
when transmitting. With the driver in the DTE mode, the DSR signal corresponds to the DSR signal delivered by the
DCE. When the driver is in DCE mode, the DSR signal corresponds to the DTR signal sent by the DTE.

By default this is deactivated.

Syntax:

serialX/X SYNC Config>ignore-dsr

Example:

serialX/X SYNC Config>ignore-dsr

1.2.14 LOOPBACK
This command permits you to set the interface in loopback mode. In this mode the interface disconnects from the
device exterior and the interface transmitter directly connects to its receiver. In this way, the interface behaves as if it
had a mirror in its external connector.

By default this is deactivated.

Syntax:

1.2.17 OPEN-CD
This command permits you to disconnect the device’s internal hardware CD signal. This command is useful so in
DTE mode you can transmit when operating with a DCE which does not activate the CD signal and only activates the
CTS signal.

By default this is deactivated.

Syntax:

serialX/X SYNC config>open-cd

Example:

serialX/X SYNC config>

8 Generic Serial Interfaces

Teldat SA 1 Synchronous Serial Interface Configuration

1.2.21 TRANSPARENT-MODE
This command configures the serial port to operate in transparent mode instead of in HDLC mode. In transparent
mode, the serial port synchronizes with a 16-bit synchronization work defined by the user. Once this has been syn-
chronized, it begins to receive and transmit frames whose size has been configuredthrough the MTU command. The
serial port does not resynchronize except if the aut synchronization has been activated using the transparent-
mode-autosync command.

By default this is deactivated.

Syntax:

serialX/X SYNC config>transparent-mode

Example:

serialX/X SYNC config>transparent-mode

serialX/X SYNC config>

1.2.22 TRANSPARENT-MODE-AUTOSYNC
Through this command the resynchronization feature for the serial port is activated in cases when it is operating in
transparent mode. A byte is defined that corresponds to half of the last byte of the synchronization word and half of
the first byte that follows it in each frame. This feature is only effective if the trames are always headed by the syn-
chronization word plus these four bits.

By default this is not configured..

Syntax:

serialX/X SYNC config>transparent-mode-autosync <hex 00..ff>

Example:

serialX/X SYNC config>transparent-mode-autosync 48

serialX/X SYNC config>

1.2.23 TRANSPARENT-MODE-SYNC
This command is used to define the 16 bit synchronization Word that the serial port uses in transparent mode to syn-
chronize with the frames. Normally this value is the frame headers which are sent by the serial port, if you want the
serial port to receive frame by frame. In order to put together more frames, a frame size is defined, which must be
consistent, with the mtu command

By default 0 is the equivalent of not being defined.

Syntax:

serialX/X SYNC config>transparent-mode-sync <hex 00..ffff>

Example:

serialX/X SYNC config>transparent-mode-sync fff4

serialX/X SYNC config>

1.2.24 TX-SYNCHRONIZED-TO-RX
Through this command you can synchronize transmission with the reception. Data sent begins with an exact multiple
of 8 bit periods after the received data.

By default this is deactivated.

Syntax:

serialX/X SYNC config>tx-synchronized-to-rx

Example:

serialX/X SYNC config>tx-synchronized-to-rx

1.2.26 V24
Configures the driver so it operates complying with the V24 norm.

This command is only available in serial interfaces pertaining to a PCI card with 3 WAN interfaces as these are the
only ones that permit you to change the type of standard through configuration.

By default the driver is configured to operate complying with the V24 norm.

Syntax:

serialX/X SYNC config>v24

Example:

serialX/X SYNC config>v24

1.2.28 WARNING-TEST-TIMEOUT
Through this command, you activate periodic trap sending through SNMP, which tells you if the interface is in echo
mode or loopback mode or both. The time period is configurable and the value should be between 0 and 3550
seconds. A 0 value deactivates this command.

By default, this is deactivated.

3.1 Assigning the Asynchronous Serial Interface

To assign an asynchronous serial interface to a determined device connector, enter the SET DATA-LINK ASYNC
command at the general configuration menu (Config>). Should the device have more than one connector, you will be
prompted for the name identifying the required connector. Contrariwise, the asynchronous serial interface will be as-
signed to the only corresponding type of connector in the device.

Config>set data-link async

Config>

Config>set data-link async serial0/0

You can verify that the interface has been correctly assigned by listing all the interfaces in the device:

Config>list devices

Interface Connector Type of interface

The types of serial connectors that the Asynchronous interface supports are as follows:

- serialx/x

- uart0/0 over a previously configured CONF port.

The functionality of using the CONF port as an Asynchronous interface is a special case. This port normally functions
as a local console and presents a series of limitations which you can perceive when configuring it. You can see
which parameters are not operative for these types of port in the configurable parameters.

Once the interface has been assigned you can begin the configuration process. However in order for changes to take
effect and monitoring of the said interface can take place, you need to save the configuration and restart the device.

The ECHO command configures the interface in echo mode so the transmitter resends everything it receives from
the receiver. The interface behaves as a mirror. This operating mode permits you to check all the analog part of the
interface through an external device that inserts and verifies patterns.

By default this is deactivated.

This command is not supported in CONF interfaces.

3.2.7 ENABLE-RTS
Through this command you enable the RTS signal functionality in DTE mode. Once the signal is enabled, this activ-
ates provided that the device has data available in the transmission buffer.

By default the RTS signal is always active, provided that the interface is enabled.

This command is not supported in CONF interfaces.

Syntax:

serialX/X ASYNC Config>enable-rts

Example:

serialX/X ASYNC Config>enable-rts

3.2.8 HDW-CTRL
This command activates the hardware flow control so if the device is behaving as DTE, transmission is controlled by
the CTS signal: transmission cannot occur until the CTS signal is active. It’s also a good idea to execute the EN-
ABLE-RTS command in order to enable RTS signal functionality.

By default, the hardware flow control is disabled.

This command is not supported in CONF interfaces.

Syntax:

serialX/X ASYNC Config>hdw-ctrl

Example:

serialX/X ASYNC Config>hdw-ctrl

3.2.9 IGNORE-CD
The command makes the device software ignore the CD signal status when declaring the interface UP or DOWN.
This is very useful in cases where you are operating with devices which do not deliver this signal or that only activate
when transmitting. With the driver in the DTE mode, the CD signal corresponds to the CD signal delivered by the
DCE. When the driver is in DCE mode, the CD signal corresponds to the RTS signal sent by the DTE.

By default this is deactivated.

This command is not supported in CONF interfaces.

3.2.13 LOOPBACK
This command permits you to set the interface in loopback mode. In this mode the interface disconnects from the
device’s exterior and the interface transmitter directly connects to its receiver. In this way, the interface behaves as if
it had a mirror in its external connector.

By default this is deactivated.

Chapter 5 AT Commands Interface Configuration

5.1 Assigning the AT Commands Interface

To assign an AT commands interface to a determined device connector, enter the SET DATA-LINK AT command at
the general configuration menu (Config>). Should the device have more than one connector, you will be prompted
for the name of the interface corresponding to the required connector. Contrariwise, the AT commands interface will
be assigned to the only corresponding type of connector in the device.

Config>set data-link at

You can verify that the interface has been correctly assigned by listing all the interfaces in the device:

The types of serial connectors that the Asynchronous interface supports are as follows:

- serialx/x

- uart0/0 over a previously configured CONF port.

The functionality of using the CONF port as an Asynchronous interface is a special case. This port normally functions
as a local console and presents a series of limitations which you can perceive when configuring it. You can see
which parameters are not operative for these types of port in the configurable parameters.

Once the interface has been assigned you can begin the configuration process. However in order for changes to take
effect and monitoring of the said interface can take place, you need to save the configuration and restart the device.

5.2.19 RING-TONE-LENGTH
Configure the tone and the silence duration for a ring signal. Given that the ring signal differs depending on the tele-
phone network (generally in different countries), it may be necessary to modify these parameters. These parameters
only affect the management function through AT. This is configured in tenths of seconds and the default value is 15
for the tone and 30 for the silence.

Note

We do not recommend that this parameter be modified unless you experience problems with the man-
agement or with “wakeup” via the modem. Should this occur, please check the values that need to be
configured with the telephone company that provides this service.

Syntax:

9600, 19200, 38400 or 57600 bps. However, we recommend that this value be that immediately above the modem
transfer speed with the other end. E.g. if the modem is 56 Kbps, you should select 57600 bps. The default value is
57600 bps.

The NO SPEED command reestablishes the default value for this parameter.

7 Configuring the HSSI Interface Teldat SA

Chapter 7 Configuring the HSSI Interface

7.1 HSSI Interface - Description

The HSSI (High Speed Serial Interface) is a type of high speed synchronous serial interface. This interface uses
special connectors, while not being possible to define different types of connection (synchronous, asynchronous, AT
commands) over these. This means the SET DATA-LINK command is not applicable in HSSI interface. The devices
can only behave as DTE, or, in a special mode, as DTE with internal clock.

7.2 Configuration Commands

7.2.1 Accessing the HSSI Interface Configuration prompt

The HSSI interface configuration commands must be entered at the configuration prompt associated to it ( HSSI con-
fig>). Use the NETWORK <interface_name> command (within the general configuration prompt Config>), to access
the said prompt where <interface_name> is the name of the HSSI interface you wish to configure.

Config>networkhssiX/X

-- High Speed Serial Interface. Configuration --

Once you have accessed the HSSI interface configuration prompt, you can enter the commands described below:

Command Function
?(HELP) Lists the available commands or their options.
ENCODING Configures the NRZI or NRZ encoding.
IDLE Configures the inactivity character.
INPUT-BUFFERS Configures the number of buffers used at reception.
INTERNAL-CLOCK Configures the internal oscillator as source for the reception clock.
LIST Displays the values associated to the distinct interface parameters.
LOOP-RX-CLOCK Configures the reception clock as source for the reception clock.
MTU Configures the maximum frame size (MTU).
NO Undoes a command.
SPEED Configures the line speed.
EXIT Exits the HSSI interface configuration prompt.

In addition to the above commands, there are other commands common to all the device interfaces. These com-
mands are described in the common interfaces configuration manual (Dm 772-I Common Configuration Interfaces).

7.2.2 ? (HELP)
The ? (HELP) command lists the valid commands at the programmed router level. This command can also be used
after a specific command in order to list the available options.

7.2.6 INTERNAL-CLOCK
Configures the internal oscillator as source for the transmission clock. Under normal operating conditions, the HSSI
obtains the transmission clock from the ST line which is received from the remote end (DCE). In some cases it may
be convenient to use another clock for transmission. For these said cases this command is available as well as the
LOOP-RX-CLOCK command.

8.1 Monitoring Commands

8.1.1 Accessing the HSSI Interface Monitoring prompt

The HSSI interface monitoring commands must be entered at the monitoring prompt associated to it ( HSSI+). Use
the NETWORK <interface_name> command (within the general monitoring prompt +), to access the said prompt
where <interface_name> is the name of the HSSI interface you wish to monitor.

+NETWORK hssiX/X

HSSI+

Once you have accessed the HSSI interface monitoring prompt, you can enter the commands described below:

Command Function
?(HELP) Lists the available commands or their options.
SET Permits you to activate the HSSI interface signals.
CLEAR Deletes the statistics associated to the HSSI interface or deactivates the HSSI in-
terface signals.
NO Deactivates a previously activated option.
LOOPBACK Activates the local loop in the interface.
LIST Displays the HSSI interface status.
BITRATE Measures the current transmission and reception rate on the line.
EXIT Exits the HSSI interface monitoring prompt.

8.1.2 ? (HELP)
The ? (HELP) command lists the valid commands at the programmed router level. This command can also be used
after a specific command in order to list the available options.

Syntax:

HSSI+?

Example:

HSSI+?

8.1.8 BITRATE
The BITRATE command measures the current transmission and reception rate in the line. The rate is measured in
intervals of 1 second, creating a new line each time a maximum historical is exceeded from the moment the com-
mand is activated. To end rate monitoring, hit any key.

Syntax:

8.2 Monitoring the HSSI Interface from the General Menu

All the statistics associated to the required HSSI interface can be viewed from the general monitoring prompt (+). Ad-
ditionally you can view other information such as the state of the line signals, the type of driver, the line speed and
the time elapsed since the last port reset. For this enter the DEVICE <interface_name> command from the said
prompt where <interface_name> is the name of the specified interface.

Example:

+DEVICE hssi2/0
Auto-test Auto-test Maintenance
Interface CSR Vect valids failures failures
hssi2/0 F0100000 22 1 0 0
Driver type: DTE Internal Clock

Nicknames: CA TA LA LB LC
State: ON ON OFF OFF OFF
Line speed: 50.000 Mbps
Last port reset: 30 minutes, 45 seconds ago
