Overview  
1.3  
OVERVIEW  
The HSIM-W85 extends the functionality of certain Cabletron Systems  
platforms by providing an interface for Wide Area Network (WAN) DS1  
services. The HSIM-W85 is a High Speed Interface Module (HSIM) used  
to provide WAN services using the SmartSwitch series of products as a  
platform. The HSIM-W85 has 8 physical DS1 interfaces, providing 8  
separate logical DS1 connections. Eight separate T1 circuits can be  
Multiplexing (IMUX) groupings, up to a 12 Mbps full duplex data circuit  
within a Layer 2 IMUX group.  
The typical configuration is a head-end WAN aggregation point for up to  
8 T1s into a single WAN physical interface. The HSIM-W85 is able to  
uplink any combination of single T1s or multiple T1 IMUX groups to the  
backbone. Refer to Appendix B for a diagram of a typical configuration.  
The HSIM-W85 has its own i960 HD microprocessor used to process data  
packets, provide simple configuration, Inverse Multiplexer functionality,  
and statistics processing. The SmartSwitch host platform provides the  
required logical IP Host services. The HSIM-W85 is designed to be  
installed in any Cabletron Systems product that supports the High Speed  
Interface Module.  
The HSIM-W85 operates in two modes:  
Switching  
IMUX  
The first mode, switching, is the default mode. The HSIM-W85 forwards  
data packets received by the host platform out through the logical DS1  
interfaces. It also forwards packets received in the DS1 interfaces to or  
through the host. The default and only layer 2 WAN protocol used with  
the HSIM-W85 is raw HDLC.  
The host platform may operate in 802.1D bridging, 802.1Q  
VLAN, or SecureFast mode.  
NOTE  
HSIM-W85 User’s Guide  
1-3  
 
 
Chapter 1: Introduction  
Multiplexer (IMUX) functionality to aggregate multiple DS1 connections  
into single higher bandwidth WAN connections. To operate in this mode,  
the user configures the appropriate IMUX groups containing the DS1  
connections.  
Along with the built-in management features (Network Tools) described  
in Chapter 4, the HSIM-W85 can be managed using SNMP. Statistical  
data can be accessed via SNMP by referencing the interface group defined  
in RFC 1213.  
1.4  
DATA FLOW IN THE HSIM-W85  
The T1 data streams are terminated by T1 framers, which provide an  
HDLC bit stream to the HDLC controller. The controller receives data  
packets from each of the bit streams and places them in a memory  
subsystem. The on board CPU examines the packet and notifies the host  
of its arrival. Finally, a Cabletron proprietary ASIC transfers the data to  
the host platform.  
This process is followed in reverse when a packet is transmitted from the  
host platform out the T1 ports. The host platform notifies the HSIM-W85  
when a packet is coming and transfers the packet to the memory. The  
HDLC format is applied to the data, then the data is framed to a T1  
format, and passed to the framer. The T1 data is transmitted out through  
the T1 interface.  
1.5  
FEATURES  
The following are some of the highlights of the HSIM-W85 features:  
Data Transfer Rates of 12 Mbps in full duplex, when running all eight  
T1s carrying continuous data traffic of 64-byte packets or larger.  
High-level Data Link Control (HDLC) protocol  
T1 Inverse Multiplexing (IMUX)

1.5.1  
Connectivity  
The HSIM-W85 module supports WAN technology using eight live full  
duplex T1 connections.  
The primary function of the HSIM-W85 is to provide LAN-to-WAN  
access. WAN physical connectivity will be supported through the use of a  
T1 interface. LAN-to-WAN connectivity will be supported through  
HDLC and T1 Inverse Multiplexing (IMUX).  
The HSIM-W85 interoperates with those Cabletron Systems WAN  
products that support raw HDLC as the WAN protocol. This support is  
limited to the CyberSWITCH product line which supports HDLC:  
CSX400 – Version 02.00.15 or higher

HDLC  
The High-level Data Link Control (HDLC) protocol is used in  
conjunction with the Inverse Multiplexing (IMUX) feature to conserve a  
user’s WAN bandwidth between two Cabletron Systems products, over a  
point-to-point connection. Cabletron Systems products such as the  
HSIM-W6, HSIM-W84, HSIM-W85, HSIM-W87, and CSX400 must be  
in use on both ends of the WAN link for these functions to work. The  
HDLC (RAW) protocol reduces the amount of overhead information that  
needs to be contained within each data packet to direct it to its destination.  
This decreased packet overhead provides the IMUX functions with more  
bandwidth to transfer user data.

Chapter 1: Introduction  
1.5.3  
Inverse Multiplexing (IMUX)  
Cabletron Systems Inverse Multiplexing (IMUX) feature provides  
enhanced throughput for users by following this process:  
The IMUX function evenly distributes a data packet stream from the  
LAN interface through multiple full T1 WAN interfaces on the  
HSIM-W85.  
Data packet streams received by the WAN interfaces on the other end  
of the WAN links are then recombined, ordered, and transmitted to the  
LAN interface.  
The IMUX function is configured using the Network Tools command,  
imux, described in Chapter 4.  
Cabletron Systems products that support Inverse Multiplexing  
(IMUX), such as the HSIM-W6, CSX400, HSIM-W84,  
NOTE  
HSIM-W85, and HSIM-W87, must exist on both ends of the  
WAN link for the IMUX function to work. All bridging and  
switching functions, such as 802.1D, SecureFast VLAN, and  
802.1Q are able to run as normal on the host platform when  
using the IMUX function on the HSIM-W85.  
1.5.4  
Priority Queuing  
WAN IP Priority Queuing is used to prioritize IP packets from a specified  
IP address. This prioritizing ensures that certain packets get through the  
network, such as management packets which are necessary to the  
operation of the network. It also ensures that routers that depend on  
protocols with tight timing, such as RIP, do not time out. The prioritized  
packets do not eliminate other traffic on the network, but are held in a  
special queue, so that they are not discarded during oversubscribed traffic  
peaks. Priority Queuing can be enabled in management, using Network  
Tools. Refer to the wanpq command in the Management chapter.

MANAGEMENT  
This chapter describes Local Management and the Network Tools utility.  
Local Management allows access to statistics screens that apply to the  
HSIM-W85 through the host platform. Network Tools allows access to a  
command set from which you can configure and manage the HSIM-W85.  
This chapter provides the following information:  
Overview of Local Management, Section 4.1  
Network Tools used with the HSIM-W85, Section 4.2  
Sample IMUX configuration, Section 4.3  
4.1  
LOCAL MANAGEMENT  
Access to Local Management screens and Network Tools is  
NOTE  
obtained by using Local Management on the host platform.  
Refer to the host platform user’s guide to establish a Local  
Management connection, and for information on the screens.  
Make sure that the following requirements have been met before  
accessing the HSIM-W85 through Local Management:  
A management terminal is properly configured and connected, either  
locally or using Telnet, to the host platform in which the HSIM-W85  
resides. Refer to the host platform document for further information.  
In order to view the HSIM-W85 statistics screens, you must navigate  
through a series of Local Management screens via the host platform.  
Figure 4-1 shows a typical hierarchy of screens that you would navigate  
through in order to reach the HSIM-W85 screens. The lines shown in

NETWORK TOOLS  
The Network Tools utility allows management of objects in the  
HSIM-W85 Management Information Bases (MIBs). MIBs are databases  
of objects used for managing the device and configuring the HSIM-W85.  
The commands within the MIB Navigator allow the user to view and  
modify a device’s objects.  
The host platform software contains either the Network Tools utility, or  
the MIB Navigator utility. They are essentially the same tool, with some  
minor differences depending on the platform. They will both be referred  
to as Network Tools in this document, and there is no difference in their  
use for the purpose of this document. Using Network Tools may be a  
more convenient method for a user to configure the HSIM-W85 than  
using the MIBs in some circumstances. Full functionality is still available  
by using the MIBs. The host platform has a set of functions for Network  
Tools that are used on that platform. The following additions to the  
Network Tools utility from the WAN perspective are specific to the  
HSIM-W85, and can only be used when an HSIM-W85 is installed in the  
platform.  
imux – support for configuration and monitoring of the Inverse  
Multiplexer (ctwan-multi-imux-mib.txt, Revision 1.00.00)  
ds1alarm – support for ds1 alarm monitoring (ctremote-mib.txt,  
Revision 1.00.02, Ds1Alarms branch)  
wanpq – support for Wan IP Priority Queuing (ctremote-mib.txt,  
Revision 1.00.02, ctIPPQFilters branch)  
dsx1 – support for RFC 1406 statistics and configuration  
ds1ext – support for extensions to RFC 1406 (ctremote-mib.txt,

Options:  
ds1ext (with no options) displays currently programmed  
parameters.  
ds1ext crc <CRCVAL> <LINE> changes the amount of  
frame check sequence bits appended to data transmitted  
from the DS1 designated by <LINE> to <CRCVAL>.  
ds1ext linecode <LCVAL> <LINE> changes the line  
coding value programmed on the DS1 designated by  
<LINE> to <LCVAL>. This value should not be modified  
unless no other form of zero code suppression is used, and  
the main line encoding does not provide zero code  
suppression (as in AMI line coding).  
ds1ext lbo <LBOVAL> changes the line build out value  
programmed on the DS1 designated by <LINE> to  
<LBOVAL>. The values 0, -7.5 and -15 are decibel levels  
for long haul configurations, while the other values are  
ranges, measured in feet for short haul configurations.

Troubleshooting the HSIM-W85  
5.1.2  
Investigating Software Configuration Problems  
Software problems usually occur when your software configuration  
contains incomplete or incorrect information.  
Device not forwarding packets  
Ensure that the proper DS1 transmit clock source is configured using  
the dsx1 command in Network Tools.  
When connecting two ds1 devices, one must be tx clock master  
(local timing) and the other must be slave (loop timing).  
NOTE  
Check the DS1 line type. The default is ESF but some devices may be  
configured for D4. Ensure that the local and remote DS1 devices are  
configured with the same line (Framing) type.  
Ensure that the DS1 loopback is not configured (default is none) using  
the dsx1 command.
