Use caution and common sense when installing network wires. Use the following guidelines,
especially when unsafe conditions exist or when potentially hazardous voltages are present:
To reduce the risk of electrical shock, do not operate equipment with the cover removed.
Never install network jacks in a wet location unless the jack is designed for that location.
Never touch uninsulated network wires or terminals unless the network line is disconnected
at the network interface.
Antistatic Precautions
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) results from the buildup of static electricity and can cause computer
components to fail. ESD occurs when a person whose body contains a static buildup touches a
computer component. This product card may contain static-sensitive devices that are easily
damaged. Proper handling, grounding and precautionary ESD measures are essential. Keep parts
and cards in antistatic packaging during transport or when not in use. When handling always use
antistatic floorpads, workbenchpads and an antistatic wrist strap connected to a grounded
equipment frame or chassis. If a wrist strap is not available, periodically touch an unpainted metal
surface on the equipment. Never use a conductive tool, like a screw driver or paper clip to set
switches.

SpectraComm IP E1 Overview
SCIP-E1 Interfaces/Connectivity
The typical installation environment for the SCIP-E1 card is a SpectraComm 5000 or 2000 shelf.
SCIP-E1 has multiple physical interfaces, described below. The unit is shipped from the factory
with all ports set to Disabled except for the Modem port and the AUX port.
Note
In router mode of operation, both serial ports (S0 and S1) may be enabled simultaneously. In LAN-X mode
of operation, only one of the serial ports (S0 or S1) may be enabled; the other must be disabled.
For configuration of the SCIP-E1 interfaces, refer to Chapter 2: Installation and Set-Up.

SpectraComm IP E1 Overview
Management
In Router Mode, remote SCIP-E1 devices can be managed from the Central Office via Remote
Default Routes. In LAN-X mode, local and remote SCIP-E1 devices can be managed and pinged
from either site. Management protocols available in SCIP-E1 are described briefly below.
Smart CLI
The SCIP-E1 employs an interactive command line interface that will feel familiar to most field
personnel. Added features include auto-prompting for command arguments, recognition of
abbreviated commands, online help, command line recall and an advanced utility for generating
downloadable ASCII configuration files.
Enhanced Telnet Management
SCIP-E1 provides enhanced Telnet cut-thru to up to eight LAN-attached devices via rear panel
terminal server connector. Using the SCIP-E1 management IP address, remote devices are accessed
by menu and a TCP port number (2001 - 2008) rather than separate IP addresses for each device.
Remote Dial-Up Management
When the SCIP-E1 is equipped with an integral modem, it can be managed via a passwordprotected dialup connection from the Central Office.
TFP or TFTP Services
SCIP-E1 supports File Transfer Protocol (TFP) and Trivial File Transfer Protocol (TFTP) servers
for the downloading of GDC firmware (Flash) upgrades. These services can be enabled and
disabled.
Web Management
The SCIP-E1 supports direct web management via HTTP for internet-ready network monitoring.
An embedded web server agent allows Read or Read-Write access to SCIP using popular browsers.
To enhance security, SCIP-E1 supports web time-outs and password-protected access over the web
interface. HTTP services can also be disabled to block web access to SCIP-E1 devices.
TEAM Management
In applications with GDCs TEAM software (Total Enterprise Access Management), SCIP-E1 is
recognized by TEAM which uses HPOV APIs (Application Programmer Interfaces) to integrate
with HP OpenView Windows and other network management applications. This release of the
SCIP-E1 supports only auto-discovery and polling by TEAM. Future releases of SCIP-E1 will
support direct web and Telnet launch from the map window. For more information on TEAM
features, refer to later issues of this document or contact your GDC Sales Representative.
Note
1-4
TEAM support requires an SCM card co-located in the shelf with the SCIP-E1. For more information, refer
to the GDC TEAM Core documentation and Release Notes.

SpectraComm IP E1 Overview
Diagnostic Tools
SCIP-E1 supports the standard traceroute application which is used to determine the path an IP
packet follows through the network. It is a useful tool for diagnosing IP connectivity problems.
Traceroute is invoked by the trace-rte command.
System messages (SYS MSG) are useful in debugging TACACS+ failures. The last 100 system
messages can be viewed with the show log sysmsg command.
When the SCIP is configured for LAN-X mode, the diags lanx command can be used to
send different sized test packets to the remote SCIP which loops them back to the sender. This
diagnostic check is independent of IP and does not use ICMP (ping).
Network Statistics displays information about the current TCP socket connections, such as the
local or remote IP address, send and recieve window sizes, state, etc. To show the Network
Statistics, type: show netstat.
Alarms
SCIP-E1 supports standard E1 network alarm reporting which informs users about catastrophic or
impaired line conditions. Supported E1 alarms are as follows:
SNMP Traps
SCIP-E1 can generate SNMP traps on various events, and employs a more reliable method for
sending them to as many as four trap hosts. By storing traps and verifying connectivity before
sending, trap delivery is greatly improved in the event of temporary network outages. Supported
traps are:

SpectraComm IP E1 Overview
Eliminates Loops: Spanning Tree Protocol determines the active topology of a bridged LAN so
that there is no more than one active data path between any two workstations in that bridged
LAN. The chosen data path for each LAN segment shall have at least Root Path Cost.
Provides Fault Tolerance: Spanning Tree Protocol automatically reconfigures the active
topology of a bridged LAN when there is a breakdown in the active data path. The chosen data
path for each LAN segment shall have at least Root Path Cost.
Figure 1-3 demonstrates the optimal root path determined by the Spanning Tree Protocol.
No IP addressing is needed since in LAN-X mode the SCIP-E1 devices are in a flat network. In the
figure below, PC denotes Port Costs and BPri denotes Bridge Priority.
Note
Spanning Tree Protocol changes the active topology in response to a newly detected path with a lower Root
Path Cost, which can be due to intentional operator actions, such as modification of Port Path Costs,
disabling or enabling ports, and attaching or removing a bridge device.
Note
Note that all bridges must be enabled to derive the optimal benefit of spanning tree.
Consult the IEEE 802.1D standard to learn more about STP.

Overview
The SCIP-E1 card is designed for rack-mounting in a GDC SpectraComm 5000 or SpectraComm
2000 shelf. The card can also be deployed in the SpectraComm 1001/1002 standalone enclosure.
This chapter describes installing the SCIP card, making power connections, performing preoperational checks, and making system connections. If this is your first installation of the SCIP-E1,
be sure to read the previous sections of this manual to understand the optimal functioning of the
SCIP-E1 product as it applies to your network.
This chapter also provide brief procedures for setting up SCIPs internal modem (if so equipped).
An overview of CLI and detailed procedures for quickly setting up the SCIP for IP forwarding or
LAN-extension are provided in Chapter 3, SCIP-E1 Configuration .
Note
The SCIP-E1s LAN-X mode and IP forwarding functions are mutually exclusive; that is, when the SCIP-E1
is configured for LAN-extension mode, the IP routing functions are not available, and visa-versa.
Locate the SpectraComm shelf in a ventilated area where the ambient temperature does not
exceed environmental specifications (Table 1-2).
Do not install the shelf directly above equipment such as power supplies, which generate large
amounts of heat.
Note
The SCIP-E1 card may be installed in any slot in a SpectraComm shelf or enclosure.
Perform the setups, connections, and pre-operation checks for IP forwarding or for LAN-X
mode, in their entirety, as described in this chapter.
The SCIP-E1 comes from the factory with only the Modem and the AUX ports Enabled.

Sync/Async Port
(Interface B in Figure 2-1)
This shared port is a RJ48 connector on the shelf rear panel at the SCIP-E1 slot (J33-J48). When
enabled as the AUX interface this port supports an asynchronous connection to an external modem.
When enabled as the S1 (serial 1) interface, this port supports a synchronous connection to a
SC521A device for DDS network connections (RJ45-to-DB25M adapter cable required).
Table 2-4 describes the Sync/Async port pinouts.

SCIP Power-Up
SCIP Power-Up
Before making connections, determine whether the SCIP-E1 can be powered from the same AC
circuit as the equipment connected to its terminal server ports. Having the SCIP and the connecting
equipment on the same AC circuit prevents large circulating currents caused by differences in
ground potential.
Note
If you cannot determine whether both devices are on the same circuit, verify that the potential difference
between the grounding circuits of the respective power outlets is no more than 0.25V rms.
Note
The AC outlet that powers the SCIP units should not be under switch control.
To connect the unit to power and perform a pre-operation Self-Test, do the following:
1. Make sure there are no site or network cables connected to the unit's rear panel.
2. Attach the power cord (P/N 830-024-003) to the rear panel IEC connector and to a wall
receptacle that supplies the required AC power.
3. Verify that the Front Panel INS LED flashes on and off.
After a few seconds, the LED will illuminate steady.
4. The SCIP-E1is now ready for configuration to suit your network requirements.
Note
2-14
IMPORTANT: The SCIP-E1comes from the factory with the Modem and the AUX ports Enabled for ease
of initial configuration. As a security precaution, do not connect the Modem and AUX ports to the network
until the default password has been changed via the Craft port.
(See Chapter 3: SCIP-E1 Configuration .

Modem Connectivity
Modem Connectivity
If your SCIP-E1 device is equipped from the factory with an integral modem, it can provide secure
modem access to remote devices at data rates up to 33.6 Kbps via a PPP or a Console Shell session.
The following connection methods are recommended for each type of session:
Note
The following procedures use the SCIP-E1 command line interface (CLI) to configure the modem. An
overview of CLI is provided in Chapter 3, SCIP-E1 Configuration .
Modem Procedures
Auto-Answer Mode of Operation
The following procedure starts up a PPP session with SCIP-E1 in auto-answer mode.
1. Dial into SCIP.
2. Login using a valid username and password.
3. After Login, select DialUp Networking or Terminal Emulation from menu.
If DialUp Networking is selected, a PPP session is initiated by SCIP.
4. When the workstation terminal window shows non-printable characters, click the terminal
window Continue button or press F7.
5. PPP will negotiate a session, give the workstation its IP address and establish the PPP link.
6. Once the PPP connection is made, Telnet, HTTP, etc., may be used from the workstation.
7. If Terminal Emulation is selected, the following message is displayed:
SC-IP CONSOLE session in progress.
Override (y/n)?
Entering y will cause any current SCIP-E1 console session to be terminated, and will start the
Terminal Emulation console session.

Modem Connectivity
If a GDC modem will be used instead of the SCIP modem, set up the DialUp Networking
Configure-> Connection->Advanced Extra Settings string as follows:
&COS0=1&S3
where:
&CO causes the modem to force Carrier Detect ON,
S0=1 sets auto answer mode to one ring,
and &S3 forces DSR ON even after disconnect.
If spaces are desired in the callback location name, use the double-quoted string format.
When entering callback phone numbers, use only hyphens or commas as separators.
The callback locations and phone numbers are limited to 20 characters each.
When using the backspace key in the DialUp Networking terminal window, the character
intended for deletion will remain displayed, and a solid block character or a dot appears in the
position of the cursor. However, the backspace has been properly processed.
The cursor control keys such as left and right arrows are not processed by the dial application
even though they appear to be in the window.

configure term-serv description term[#] [your_description]
For example:
configure term-serv description term1 terminal-device
Note
The IP address for each terminal server port does not need to be configured if Telnet cut-thru is used.
To access a device connected to a terminal server port, telnet to the IP address of one of the interfaces using
the corresponding TCP port. TCP port 2001 thru 2008 corresponds to term1 through term8, respectively.
For example:
configure term-serv enable term1
19. Set up static routes for the Frame Relay network by typing:
configure ip-route add serial0.17 [destination IP] [destination mask]
Steps 19 through 24 detail the setting up of static routes in an example Frame Relay network (Figure 3-2). If
a local router is used at the central site instead of a SCIP-E1 device, consult your router documentation for
static route configuration guidelines.
20. Set up a static route at the remote site towards the central office by typing:
configure ip-route add serial0.17 128.1.0.0 255.255.0.0 128.1.1.10 1
21. On the central office SCIP-E1, create, configure and enable the subinterface by typing:
configure interfaces add-sub serial0.117
configure interfaces enable serial0.117
22.
On the central office SCIP-E1, map Frame Relay DLCIs, IP Encapsulation to sub-interfaces
by typing:
configure frame-relay interface-dlci serial0.117 17 ietf
23. Set up a static route at a central office SCIP-E1 towards a remote orlando_lan 172.16.0.0 by
typing:
configure ip-route add serial0.117 172.16.0.0 255.255.0.0 172.16.5.6 1
As an alternative, to set up a static route only to a particular host instead of to the whole
network, set up the static route with mask 255.255.255.255. For example, to set up LAN
Device #1 on 172.16.0.0 network with an IP address of 172.16.5.10, type:
configure ip-route add serial0.117 172.16.5.10 255.255.255.255
172.16.5.6 1
24. Set up a static route at the central office towards LAN Device #1 connected at the Terminal
Server port by typing:
configure ip-route add serial0.117 192.160.1.12 255.255.255.255

Network Time
SCIP supports Simple Network Time Protocol (RFC2030) and Time Protocol (RFC 868). When
configured for SNTP or TP, SCIP will receive and use Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) to timestamp
the SNMP traps, System Messages and Alarms when they are generated. When neither SNTP nor
TP is configured, the SCIP will use a relative System Up Time for timestamping.
SNTP/TP Client Configuration Procedure
1. Configure SCIP for receiving GMT, type:

Note
If the TACACS+ authentication for the console or the supervisor/admin privilege is enabled but the
TACACS+ authentication is disabled, then the console or supervisor/admin privilege will be locally
authenticated.
9. Authentication banners identify the SCIP device a user is trying to access, and whether local or
TACACS+ authentication is in use. If spaces are to be used in the description, use the doublequoted string format. To configure banners, type:
configure tacacs+ banner tacacs+ [description]
configure tacacs+ banner local [description]
IMPORTANT! Failure to test the TACACS+ authentication can result in lockout of all users even from the
console port. If possible, observe the console window on the TACACS+ server for any error messages.
1. Ping the TACACS+ server to be sure it can be reached from SCIP device:
SCIP-E1% ping [IP address]
2. Once the TACACS+ server responds to the ping, test TACACS+ authentication by typing:
configure tacacs+ testing authen
3. Respond to the prompt with your username and password, just like Telnet. After the password
is entered, a pass or fail indication and some diagnostic information will display concerning
message exchange with the TACACS+ server.
4. Test the TACACS+ supervisor/admin password by typing:
configure tacacs+ testing sup-admin

Additional Features
Note
IMPORTANT! Disable the Fallback option with caution. If TACACS+ authentication is being used with
fallback disabled option and the TACACS+ server becomes unreachable, you will be locked out of all
authentication until the TACACS+ server is reachable again. Therefore, disable this option with caution.
If you have disabled the fallback option and the TACACS+ does not respond, remains unreachable
or there is a configuration error (key, IP address, etc.), you will have to default all configuration to
factory defaults as described below.
1. From the console (craft) port, power cycle the unit by typing: reboot
2. During power cycle and while the unzip dots are being displayed on the screen, type: menu
3. After the unzip completes, a three line menu appears. Command the SCIP to load factory
defaults by typing: L
4. Use the default passwords to reconfigure the SCIP from scratch.
Note
Disabling of the fallback option is only supported in SCIP devices at Firmware Version 2.6.0 and higher.
In order to change local authentication configuration values or enable and configure TACACS+
authentication, ADMIN access is required.
In applications with a single TACACS+ server, if the server does not respond, the
SCIP will revert to local authentication.
In applications with redundant TACACS+ servers, the SCIP device will look for the first
responding TACACS+ server, starting with the first configured IP, then the second
configure IP, and so on. When a server responds, the default key will be used if the perserver key is not specified.
An authentication timeout will occur when the TACACS+ server is unreachable, when the
TACACS+ service is not responding, or if the TACACS+ server IP address is incorrect. The
default timeout value will be used if the per-server timeout is not specified.
When using TACACS+ authentication, the prompts for username/password will be capitalized:
Username, Password. When using local authentication, the prompts for username/
password will not be capitalized: username, password.
The configure tacacs+ testing commands work for both local authentication and
TACACS+ authentication.

Spanning Tree is necessary in LANX mode to prevent loops. Therefore, Spanning Tree packets (BPDU) are
never filtered; they must be processed and/or forwarded at all times.
Figure 5-4, Figure 5-5 and Figure 5-6 demonstrate examples of SCIP in LAN-X mode configured
for MAC Security. In each example, SCIP devices will detect illegal MAC addresses received at
the LAN or WAN interfaces and discard (filter) traffic so that it never enters the network. MAC
security is enforced for every access method: craft, Telnet, and HTTP. You must have ADMIN or
SUPERVISOR privileges to access SCIPs MACL commands.

Additional Features
When a SCIP unit has Spanning tree enabled, and when e0 and s0 (or s1) are not in the
forwarding state, MACL violation traps are suppressed. All violations will still be filtered and
optionally logged to the MACL violation log, but no trap will be sent. Violation traps from
SCIP-B e0 will be sent since its interfaces are both in the forwarding state. But SCIP-B e0 will
not receive MACs from the local site because those will be blocked by SCIP-D.
Additionally, if MAC filtering is being used with Spanning Tree as in the above diagram, it is
recommended to have all MACLs defined with the same set of MAC addresses. This is because a
network failure could happen at any point in the diagram, resulting in some filtered interfaces
receiving all MACs. For example, if SCIP-A e0 becomes unusable (cable problem, external
etherswitch problem, etc.), SCIP-D e0 will unblock and SCIP-A s0 will now see both local
MACs and remote MACs.
For ease of use, a single batch script file defining all MAC addresses for the above diagram can be
downloaded and run for all four MACLs shown above. This means each SCIP has its own MAC
address included in the MACL. This takes up an extra entry space in the MACL but is otherwise
harmless. Comments can be added to the script file to help identify the equipment and IP address
associated with the MAC address. Comment syntax in SCIP batch script files are as follows:
# This is a comment line
Note
The # sign must be the first character in the line and be followed by at least one space.

Contact Sense
Contact Sense
When the SCIP is configured for Contact Sense, the term ports 1 - 8 cease to function as terminal
server ports and serve instead as contact ports (contact1 - contact8). If an external relay is connected
between Xmt and Rcv pins of any contact port, SCIP can sense the state of the relay contacts. All
eight ports can be polled very quickly, providing Contact Sense for all ports simultaneously.
Each contact port must be configured as Normally Opened or Normally Closed. A closed condition
on a normally opened port will cause an ACTIVE condition. Likewise, an open condition on a
normally closed port will cause an ACTIVE condition. When the contact port returns to its normal
state a CLEAR condition is in effect. Any transition between open and closed will generate an
SNMP trap which is recorded in the SYS MSG log and the Alarm log.

Note
Contact Sense and Terminal Server functions are mutually exclusive; only one can be enabled at a time.
If the user tries to enable both simultaneously, a warning message is displayed.

SCIP expedited traffic queuing is supported only in LAN-X mode where Ethernets are
connected across a T1/E1 WAN providing transparent layer 2 connectivity.
SCIP can provide priority queuing for IPv4 and IPv6 packets marked with Differentiated
Services Codepoint for EF (Expedited Forwarding) value 0xB8. SCIP can also provide priority
queuing for another DSCP value other than 0xB8 if desired.
SCIP does not modify the DSCP value of any IP packet. It only compares the IP packet DSCP
value to the configured DSCP value.
A max rate may be configured for expedited traffic to ensure it does not completely overwhelm
normal priority traffic. Expedited traffic that is in violation of this rate limiting is left on the
Expedited Queue until the next available time window. This may result in dropped expedited
traffic if the sustained rate exceeds the configured max rate.
Expedited traffic queuing may be enabled or disabled. It is disabled by default. When expedited
traffic queuing is enabled, SCIP measures the peak expedited traffic rate as an aid to setting the
max rate parameter.

Alarms Overview
SCIP provides the following alarms and diagnostic tools which inform users about catastrophic or
impaired line conditions:
Diagnostic Tools
LAN-X Check verifies the integrity of the link using various sized test packets.
Traceroute can assist in diagnosing IP connectivity problems.
6-1
Diagnostic Tools
Traceroute
Traceroute, invoked by the CLI command trace-rte, attempts to trace the route (path) a packet
takes through a network by making use of the TTL (Time to live) field in the IP packet header. The
TTL field is designed to prevent packets from running in loops by allowing every router that
forwards an IP packet to decrements the TTL field. When this field is decremented to zero, the
packet's life is expired. The router then discards the packet and sends an ICMP message indicating
Time Exceeded to the sender.
Traceroute sends a UDP datagram with a TTL value of 1 to the destination in an attempt to have the
first hop router identify itself by sending the ICMP Time Exceeded message. If successful,
traceroute then sends a UDP datagram with a TTL value of 2 to the destination attempting to
identify the second hop router, and so on until the destination is reached.
Special Considerations
TCP/IP was not designed to specifically support Traceroute. Therefore, Traceroute may not work
in all cases, but it is a useful technique for diagnosing IP connectivity problems. The following
conditions may affect Traceroute output:
6-2
SCIPs in LANX mode, bridges and Etherswitches do not act as routers; they operate only in
layer 2 and are transparent to IP. Since these devices will not decrement the TTL field, they will
not show up in Traceroute output as a router hop.
Traceroute traces the path of many packets, not just one. Ideally, all those packets would follow
the same route, but this is by no means assured. In the event of a link failure during the
Traceroute, your packets may be rerouted, resulting in a Traceroute output that is a confused
combination of two separate routes.
You will only see one receiving IP address from each router, no sending addresses. That is, you
will see the interfaces routers are receiving packets on, but not the interfaces routers are sending
the packets on. The sending interfaces can often be deduced by matching each router with the
next one in line - typically only one interface would be used between them.
Problems inherent in TCP/IP routing or implementation may result in packets with incorrect
TLL values, no route back to the sender, or a route through an interface other than the one the
packet was received on.

SNMP Traps
SCIP supports SNMP traps for several events, listed below. All traps are queued for up to four trap
hosts and are kept on the queue until IP connectivity to the trap host is verified. The last ten traps
for each trap host are queued. Queuing SNMP traps before sending to the trap host greatly improves
the trap success in the event of network outages. Once the network is restored and IP connectivity
is verified, the queued trap is sent. Each log message is time-stamped with a relative System Up
Time (default) or with GMT, if so configured. Refer to Chapter 5 under the paragraphs on Network
Time as needed. SCIP supports the following SNMP traps:
Cold start
Authentication failure
Ethernet0 LinkUp/Down
Serial0 LinkUp/Down
Serial1 LinkUp/Down

username may be deleted or its password should be changed.
Up to twenty usernames/passwords may be configured after supervisor. Use the configure
accounts add command string to add new usernames and passwords, or modify existing
passwords.
When the enable command is used, the password entered is first compared to the Admin
password and then to the supervisor password. This allows users with knowledge of the Supervisor
password to enter Supervisor Mode and configure all parameters except for user accounts. Only
users with knowledge of the Admin password can enter Admin mode and add/modify user accounts.
With factory default configuration, console authorization is turned off. That is, username/password
login is not required to enter user mode from the console port. Console authorization may be turned
on in Admin mode by the configure accounts console enable command string. For
Telnet connections, username/password login will always be required.

IP Addresses
The SCIP-E1 is a routing network device that provides IP connectivity to other devices at a remote
site. Each network interface on the SCIP-E1 requires a unique numeric IP address which provides
the network prefix and the host number. Addresses are expressed in dotted decimal notation which
defines the 32-bit IP address in four 8-bit fields (or four octets), e.g., 195.88.11.4. Each octet
has a value from 000 to 255.
Using the traditional Class A, B, and C network architectures, one or more octets would be allocated
to the network prefix and host number. The more octets allocated to a network prefix, the larger the
number of networks anticipated; likewise, the more octets allocated to a host number, the larger the
number of hosts anticipated. Table A-2 describes the traditional uses of these general purpose
network architectures.

IP Addresses
Network Classifications
IP addressing uses a set of fixed structure addresses known as classes (A,B, C, D, and E). An
internet address can be acquired by sending a request to the Internet Network Information Center
or from an Internet Service Provider. Table A-3 describes network classes. Note that a message sent
to a Class D address is received by all the devices sharing that address.
RFC 1918 has reserved some addresses for private Internet Addressing. In order to use these private
IP addresses, you must use a firewall, Network Address Translator, or proxy server to connect to
the Internet. These devices convert the private address into a legitimate Internet address. Table A-4
and the associated figure illustrate private addressing for a full Class A network, 16 contiguous
Class B networks and 256 contiguous Class C networks.

Bridging/Routing Guidelines
Establishing an IP Address
IP addresses and subnet masks are established by the user locally at the terminal interface. IP
addresses are stored in SCIP-E1 nonvolatile memory and retained when there is no power to the
card.
In setting up the SCIP-E1, individual IP addresses are required for the E1 interface, the modem
interface, and the Ethernet (LAN) interface. Each IP address is associated with a subnet mask which
further subdivides a standard class address for routing within an organization. A station submask
indicates the bits used for network identification. A sending station checks the bits to see if the
receiving station is on its LAN or a remote. For a remote, the sending station selects a default router
from an internal table.
From the factory, the SCIP-E1s modem interface is pre-configured with a default address of
192.168.11.220 with a subnet mask of 255.255.255.000 for initial remote dial-in. For the other
interfaces, the factory default is no IP addresses or masks.

Bridging/Routing Guidelines
All interfaces can pass data, although it is important to note that in LAN-X mode, the SCIP-E1 is
employed as a bridge rather than a router. That is, data is passed between ethernet0 (E0) and serial0
(S0) or serial1 (S1). The other interfaces, such as M0,can only be used to access the SCIP-E1. If the
terminal server ports are employed, they will still be accessible.Figure A-2 demonstrates the
relationship between the operation modes and permissable access via the various interfaces.

S0 and S1 Comparison
S0 and S1 Comparison
Both serial0 (S0) and serial1 (S1) support the following WAN protocols: PPP, Frame Relay and
LAN-X. Any CSU/DSU that has a RS-232 DCE interface can be used with the serial1 (S1) port.
Therefore, the only difference between S0 and S1 is the physical interface. The S1 interface requires
an external CSU/DSU and generally can only run at lower speeds. However, the network
connection is flexible since the CSU/DSU can be a DDS, fractional E1 or others.
Because S1 is the same as S0 at the link layer (layer 2), all examples pertaining to PPP, Frame Relay
or LAN-X on the S0 interface are also applicable to the S1 interface.
Figure A-3 demonstrates a typical configuration of SCIP-E1 with an external CSU/DSU,

Parameters separated by spaces may be entered after the last subcommand on the command
line. If you do not enter all required arguments on the command line, you will be prompted for
the missing ones after pressing Enter or the carriage return.
Arguments
If a command or subcommand requires arguments, you can type the ? character after the last
subcommand to display a description of the required parameters to complete the command line.
For example:
When you type configure interfaces ip-address ? the screen will show the three
required parameters and one optional parameter used to configure an IP address for an interface:
scip-e1%> configure interfaces ip-address ?
___________Help for "configure interfaces ip-address "______________________

Application Guidelines
When a space is entered, all of the above strings will expand to configure. Extra spaces between
command, subcommands or arguments are ignored.
Arguments composed of strings such as interface name may be abbreviated to minimum
uniqueness. Interface names are ethernet0, modem0, serialn.nnn where n is serial
interface 0 or 1 , and nnn is a sub-interface value of 1 - 999.
The e character is sufficient to select ethernet0. The m character is sufficient to select
modem0. Typing ser0.nnn or s0.nnn is sufficient to select a sub-interface.
Command Recall
There are two ways to recall previously entered commands:
A-16
Arrow UP Recall
Use the Arrow Up key to recall previously entered commands in reverse order.
Use the backspace key to edit the command string, if needed. Press Enter to execute.
Command History Recall
Type show history to display a numbered history of the previous 20 commands.
At the command prompt, type ![##] where ## is the line number of the desired command.

Application Guidelines
1. Connect a VT100-compatible terminal to the CTRL port to check the IP Address and mask in
the SCIP-E1 and ensure the values is correct.
2. Perform ping to determine whether the SCIP-E1 is communicating on the network.
WAN Communication Problems
IP Address not set correctly in SCIP-E1 (if using IP Addressing on a sub-interface).
1. At the command prompt, type show f lmi to check that the serial0 interface is UP.
2. At the command prompt, type show int to check that the Line Protocol is UP on all
interfaces you intend to use.
3. At the command prompt, type show ip-route to check that you have a path for the
destination IP to route to the interface.
4. Perform ping to determine whether the SCIP-E1 is communicating on the network.
5. If ping was not successful, make sure that the link connection is established.
WEB Communication Problems
Browser not configured for accessing SCIP-E1.
