Handling Energized Products
General Safety Practices
Do not touch or tamper with the power supply when the power cord is connected. Line voltagesmay be present inside certain products even when the power switch (if installed) is in the OFFposition or a fuse is blown. For DC-powered products, although the voltages levels are usuallynot hazardous, energy hazards may still exist.
Before working on equipment connected to power lines or telecommunication lines, removejewelry or any other metallic object that may come into contact with energized parts.
Unless otherwise specified, all products are intended to be grounded during normal use.Grounding is provided by connecting the mains plug to a wall socket with a protective groundterminal. If a ground lug is provided on the product, it should be connected to the protectiveground at all times, by a wire with a diameter of 18 AWG or wider. Rack-mounted equipmentshould be mounted only in grounded racks and cabinets.
Always make the ground connection first and disconnect it last. Do not connect
telecommunication cables to ungrounded equipment. Make sure that all other cables aredisconnected before disconnecting the ground.
Some products may have panels secured by thumbscrews with a slotted head. These panels maycover hazardous circuits or parts, such as power supplies. These thumbscrews should thereforealways be tightened securely with a screwdriver after both initial installation and subsequentaccess to the panels.
Connecting AC Mains
Make sure that the electrical installation complies with local codes.
Always connect the AC plug to a wall socket with a protective ground.
The maximum permissible current capability of the branch distribution circuit that supplies powerto the product is 16A (20A for USA and Canada). The circuit breaker in the building installationshould have high breaking capacity and must operate at short-circuit current exceeding 35A (40Afor USA and Canada).
Always connect the power cord first to the equipment and then to the wall socket. If a powerswitch is provided in the equipment, set it to the OFF position. If the power cord cannot bereadily disconnected in case of emergency, make sure that a readily accessible circuit breaker oremergency switch is installed in the building installation.
In cases when the power distribution system is IT type, the switch must disconnect both polessimultaneously.
Connecting DC Power
Unless otherwise specified in the manual, the DC input to the equipment is floating in referenceto the ground. Any single pole can be externally grounded.
Due to the high current capability of DC power systems, care should be taken when connectingthe DC supply to avoid short-circuits and fire hazards.
Make sure that the DC power supply is electrically isolated from any AC source and that theinstallation complies with the local codes.

The maximum permissible current capability of the branch distribution circuit that supplies powerto the product is 16A (20A for USA and Canada). The circuit breaker in the building installationshould have high breaking capacity and must operate at short-circuit current exceeding 35A (40Afor USA and Canada).
Before connecting the DC supply wires, ensure that power is removed from the DC circuit. Locatethe circuit breaker of the panel board that services the equipment and switch it to the OFF
position. When connecting the DC supply wires, first connect the ground wire to thecorresponding terminal, then the positive pole and last the negative pole. Switch the circuitbreaker back to the ON position.
A readily accessible disconnect device that is suitably rated and approved should be incorporatedin the building installation.
If the DC power supply is floating, the switch must disconnect both poles simultaneously.
Connecting Data and Telecommunications Cables
Data and telecommunication interfaces are classified according to their safety status.
The following table lists the status of several standard interfaces. If the status of a given port
differs from the standard one, a notice will be given in the manual.
Ports Safety Status
V.11, V.28, V.35, V.36, RS-530, X.21,10 BaseT, 100 BaseT, Unbalanced E1,E2, E3, STM, DS-2, DS-3, S-InterfaceISDN, Analog voice E&M
SELV Safety Extra Low Voltage:
Ports which do not present a safety hazard. Usuallyup to 30 VAC or 60 VDC.
xDSL (without feeding voltage),Balanced E1, T1, Sub E1/T1
TNV-1 Telecommunication Network Voltage-1:
Ports whose normal operating voltage is within thelimits of SELV, on which overvoltages from
telecommunications networks are possible.
FXS (Foreign Exchange Subscriber) TNV-2 Telecommunication Network Voltage-2:
Ports whose normal operating voltage exceeds thelimits of SELV (usually up to 120 VDC or telephoneringing voltages), on which overvoltages fromtelecommunication networks are not possible. Theseports are not permitted to be directly connected toexternal telephone and data lines.

When using shielded or coaxial cables, verify that there is a good ground connection at bothends. The grounding and bonding of the ground connections should comply with the local codes.
The telecommunication wiring in the building may be damaged or present a fire hazard in case ofcontact between exposed external wires and the AC power lines. In order to reduce the risk,there are restrictions on the diameter of wires in the telecom cables, between the equipmentand the mating connectors.
To reduce the risk of fire, use only No. 26 AWG or larger telecommunication linecords.
Pour rduire les risques sincendie, utiliser seulement des conducteurs detlcommunications 26 AWG ou de section suprieure.
Some ports are suitable for connection to intra-building or non-exposed wiring or cabling only. Insuch cases, a notice will be given in the installation instructions.
Do not attempt to tamper with any carrier-provided equipment or connection hardware.
Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC)
The equipment is designed and approved to comply with the electromagnetic regulations ofmajor regulatory bodies. The following instructions may enhance the performance of theequipment and will provide better protection against excessive emission and better immunityagainst disturbances.
A good ground connection is essential. When installing the equipment in a rack, make sure toremove all traces of paint from the mounting points. Use suitable lock-washers and torque. If anexternal grounding lug is provided, connect it to the ground bus using braided wire as short aspossible.
The equipment is designed to comply with EMC requirements when connecting it with unshieldedtwisted pair (UTP) cables. However, the use of shielded wires is always recommended, especiallyfor high-rate data. In some cases, when unshielded wires are used, ferrite cores should beinstalled on certain cables. In such cases, special instructions are provided in the manual.
Disconnect all wires which are not in permanent use, such as cables used for one-timeconfiguration.
The compliance of the equipment with the regulations for conducted emission on the data linesis dependent on the cable quality. The emission is tested for UTP with 80 dB longitudinalconversion loss (LCL).
Unless otherwise specified or described in the manual, TNV-1 and TNV-3 ports provide secondaryprotection against surges on the data lines. Primary protectors should be provided in the building
installation.The equipment is designed to provide adequate protection against electro-static discharge (ESD).However, it is good working practice to use caution when connecting cables terminated withplastic connectors (without a grounded metal hood, such as flat cables) to sensitive data lines.Before connecting such cables, discharge yourself by touching ground or wear an ESD preventivewrist strap.

ARP is defined in RFC 826.
Asynchronous
Transmission
Asynchronous transmission is the sending of data units character-by-character. The characters are preceded by start bits andfollowed by stop bits.
AWG
The American Wire Gauge System, which specifies wire width.
Balanced
A transmission line in which voltages on the two conductors areequal in magnitude, but opposite in polarity, with respect toground.
Bandwidth
The range of frequencies passing through a given circuit. Thegreater the bandwidth, the more information can be sent throughthe circuit in a given amount of time.
Baud
Unit of signaling speed equivalent to the number of discreteconditions or events per second. If each signal event representsonly one bit condition, baud rate equals bps (bits per second).
Bit
The smallest unit of information in a binary system. Representseither a one or zero (1 or 0).
bps (Bits Per Second)
A measure of data transmission rate in serial transmission.
Bridge
A device interconnecting local area networks at the OSI data linklayer, filtering and forwarding frames according to media accesscontrol (MAC) addresses.
Bridging
Bridging is the forwarding of traffic between network segmentsbased on data link layer information. These segments have acommon network layer address.

Congestion
A state in which the network is overloaded and starts to discarduser data (frames, cells or packets).
Congestion Control
A resource and traffic management mechanism to avoid and/orprevent excessive situations (buffer overflow, insufficient
bandwidth) that can cause the network to collapse. In ATMnetworks, congestion control schemes may be based on fieldswithin the ATM cell header (CLP, EFCI within the PTI) or may bebased on a more sophisticated mechanism between the ATM end-system and ATM switches. The ATM Forum has developed amechanism based on rate control for ABR-type traffic. In FrameRelay networks, congestion is handled by the FECN, BECN and DEbits.
Data
Information represented in digital form, including voice, text,facsimile and video.

MAC Address
The MAC Address is the hardware address of a device connectedto a shared network medium.
Manager
An application that receives Simple Network Management Protocol(SNMP) information from an agent. An agent and manager share adatabase of information, called the Management Information Base(MIB). An agent can use a message called a traps-PDU to sendunsolicited information to the manager. A manager that uses theRADview MIB can query the RAD device, set parameters, soundalarms when certain conditions appear, and perform otheradministrative tasks.
Mask
A mask is a filtering aid that is used to define classes ofaddresses. By defining classes, any packet can be judged as towhether it should pass the filter or not.
MTU (Maximum
Transmit Unit)
The Maximum Transmission Unit is the largest frame length whichmay be sent on a physical medium.
MultiCast
MultiCast is an Ethernet addressing scheme used to send packetsto devices of a certain type or for broadcasting to all nodes.

Spoofing
Spoofing is a technique used to reduce network overhead,especially in wide area networks (WAN). Some network protocolssend frequent packets for management purposes. These can berouting updates or keep-alive messages. In a WAN this canintroduce significant overhead, due to the typically smallerbandwidth of WAN connections.
Spoofing reduces the required bandwidth by having devices, suchas bridges or routers, answer for the remote devices. This fools(spoofs) the LAN device into thinking the remote LAN is stillconnected, even though it's not. The spoofing saves the WANbandwidth, because no packet is ever sent out on the WAN.
SPX (Sequenced Packet
Exchange)
SPX is a transport layer protocol built on top of IPX. SPX is used inNovell NetWare systems for communications in client/serverapplication programs, e.g. BTRIEVE (ISAM manager).
Static Station
A static station is a host which is added manually to an ARP or LANtable.
Stop Bit
Stop Bits mark the end of a unit of transmission (normally a byteor character). In serial communications, where each bit of themessage is transmitted in sequence, stop bits are extra "1" bitswhich follow the data and any parity bit.
Synchronous
Transmission
Transmission in which data bits are sent at a fixed rate, with thetransmitter and receiver synchronized.
T1
A digital transmission link with a capacity of 1.544 Mbps used inNorth America. Typically channelized into 24 DS0s, each capable ofcarrying a single voice conversation or data stream. Uses two pairsof twisted pair wires.
TCP (Transmission
Control Protocol)
TCP is the most common transport layer protocol used on Ethernetand the Internet.
TCP is built on top of Internet Protocol (IP) and is nearly alwaysseen in the combination TCP/IP (TCP over IP). It adds reliablecommunication, flow-control, multiplexing and connection-oriented communication. It provides full-duplex, process-to-process connections.
TCP is defined in STD 7, RFC 793.
TCP/IP stack
(Transmission Control
Protocol over Internet
Protocol)
TCP/IP stack is the standard Ethernet protocols incorporated into4.2BSD UNIX. While TCP and IP specify two protocols at specificlayers, TCP/IP is often used to refer to the entire DoD protocolsuite based upon these, including Telnet, FTP, UDP and RDP.
Telnet
The virtual terminal protocol in the Internet suite of protocols. Itlets users on one host access another host and work as terminalusers of that remote host. Instead of dialing into the computer,the user connects to it over the Internet using Telnet. Whenissuing a Telnet session, it connects to the Telnet host and logs in.The connection enables the user to work with the remote machineas though a terminal was connected to it.

IP Routing
KMBE is an IP router that supports:
Static IP net configuration
Dynamic IP net learning using the RIP and RIP-2 protocols
CIDR topologies
Multiple IP nets on the LAN or WAN interfaces
Numbered and unnumbered I/F
IP fragmentation.
IPX Routing
In addition to IP routing, KMBE also supports IPX routing and includes support for
RIP and SAP.
Address Translation (Single IP) and FirewallKMBE includes a feature called Single IP. Single IP, designed by RAD, translates IP
addresses. Single IP can be enabled or disabled. When enabled, KMBE allows
users in a Small Office to connect to the Intranet quickly and transparently.
Connection is via a synchronous link. Single IP also protects all Small Office users
from hackers on the Intranet.
Normally, a LAN requires a complete statically assigned, unique and legal subnet
in order to connect to the Intranet. Single IP allows an entire Small Office to

connect to the Corporate Intranet using only one dynamically or statically
assigned IP address.
Solid Firewall
The Solid Firewall feature prevents access from the Intranet into the Small Office
LAN. This feature makes the Small Office LAN invisible to outside users. The Solid
Firewall feature is a simple and foolproof way of protecting security sensitive
Small Offices (e.g. doctors and lawyers) from Intranet hackers.
1.3
Applications
This section gives four examples of the applications KMBE can be used in.
Basic Bridging
Two KMBEs can be used opposite each other in a bridging application. The KMBE
connected to the larger network or to a network with connections to other
networks, is the Main KMBE. The KMBE connected to the smaller network is the
Remote KMBE, see Figure 1-1.
Figure 1-1. Bridging Application
Routing Between Central and Remote Offices
You can use the KMBE as a router to connect a central office to a remote office.
This application allows you to:
Use data compression
Setup firewall protection
Supply Internet access to all of the remote offices through only one Internetconnection.

All KMBE modules have one user-selectable jumper, designated WTCH-DOG. The
KMBE modules include additional jumpers, which are factory-set and should not
be moved. The WTCH-DOG jumper allows maintenance personnel to disable the
KMBE watchdog circuit during maintenance.
Figure 2-2shows the location of the jumper. The jumper has two positions: ON - The watchdog circuit is enabled. This is the setting required for normal
operation
OFF - The watchdog circuit is disabled.
The default setting is ON.

KMBE modules with thin Ethernet and AUI interfaces do not have additionaljumpers, as all of their remaining functions are programmable. The KMBE module
with UTP interface, however, has one additional switch, designated STN/HUB,
located on the LAN interface card. Figure 2-2also identifies the location of this
switch. The switch is located on the printed circuit side of the module.
The STN/HUB switch controls the connection of the internal transmit and receive
pairs to the external UTP pairs to allow direct connection, without cross cables.
Table 2-2shows the switch settings.
Table 2-2. STN/HUB Switch Settings
Switch Setting Receive Transmit
STN (Station) Pins 1, 2 Pins 3, 6
HUB Pins 3, 6 Pins 1, 2
The correct position of the switch depends on the wiring used in your particular
network. In general:
Set the switch to STN if the KMBE module connects directly to the LAN (thisinterchanges the connections of the receive and transmit pairs).
Set the switch to HUB if the KMBE module connects to an Ethernet hub.
Factory setting is HUB.
Module Installation
The KMBE module can be inserted into, or removed from, an operating chassis
(hot-swappable).
Refer to the system installation plan and insert the module in the assigned I/O
slot of the Kilomux chassis.
The module is ready to start operating as soon as it is plugged into an operating
Kilomux chassis. For module configuration instructions, see Chapter 3.

2.2 Operating Indications
Normal Indications
After the power-up self-test, either the MAIN or the REM indicator must light,
indicating the selected mode. The LAN RX and LAN TX indicators must light (or
flash), and the ERR LAN and ERR LINK indicators must be off.
The READY indicator will turn on when the LAN and WAN interfaces are ready.
If a links synchronization is lost, the KMBE modules will attempt to re-establish
the link automatically. If the attempt does not succeed, the KMBE modules reset
themselves, and continue the attempts to resynchronize. During these attempts,
the LINK ERR indicator flashes slowly.

KMBE Bridge or Router Configuration
KMBE can be configured as either a bridge or a router. KMBE, by default is
automatically configured in the bridge mode. Decide whether KMBE will be used
as a bridge or a router before you start the configuration.
Configuring KMBE as a Bridge
By default, KMBE is automatically configured in bridge mode. Before you
configure KMBE as a bridge, set the location parameter to Remote or Main. One
of the two KMBEs in the bridge must have the location parameter set to Remote
and the other set to Main:
Remote- If the KMBE you are configuring as a bridge is connected to the
network that is smaller, and has no connections via a router to other
networks
Main- If the KMBE you are configuring as a bridge is connected to the
network that is larger or has connections via a router to other networks.
Configuring KMBE as a Router
You can use KMBE as a router with compression capability to separate networks.
Before configuring KMBE as a router, set the location switch to Main.
3.3 Menus and Screens
This section provides a brief description of the available KMBE menus andscreens.
The Main Menu
The name of the device (KMBE) connected to the terminal is listed at the top of
the screen. The Main menu has five options. To choose an option, type the

Host IP Setup
LAN IP Address
Select this parameter to enter the IP address. Every device on a TCP/IP network
must have an address to identify it. The IP address is a value consisting of the
network address and the host address on that network. The value assigned to a
network depends on the number of computers on that network.
The IP address is a 32-bit number. The number is made up of 4 parts, with each
part consisting of 3 digits. One part of the address identifies the network and
another part of the address identifies the host. Which numbers in the address
identifies the host is dependent on the IP class.
There are 5 classes of IP addresses. Each class represents a network having a
certain number of computers. For example, a Class C address is given to a
network having between 1-255 computers. Table 4-1gives the ranges for
different classes of IP addresses.
Table 4-1. IP Classes
Class Range
A 0.0.0.0 to 127.255.255.255
B 128.0.0.0 to 191.255.255.255
C 192.0.0.0 to 223.255.255.255
D 224.0.0.0 to 239.255.255.255
E 240.0.0.0 to 247.255.255.255
The numbers in each part of the code are translated into binary. The binary code
identifies the network and the host.
IP addresses are assigned by the Internet Network Information Center (InterNIC).
InterNIC assigns the network ID. Host IDs are assigned by the network
administrator.
LAN IP Mask
Select this parameter to enter the IP mask. The mask is configured automatically
from the IP address class, as shown in Figure 4-1. If you want to change the
default mask, enter a new mask. For example, the IP mask is usually
225.225.225.0. A mask of this sort would allow 254 hosts on the LAN. If you
want to create a subnet which allows 6 users, including KMBE/N, configure the
mask as 22.225.225.248. on KMBE/N and each host that is included on the
subnet.
