Initiating bridged Ethernet data communications
Once you have made the connections shown in
figure 40
on page 62, you need only power up the 6081RC
and the connected Model 3201 CPE devices for the bridged Ethernet network to begin operation and start car-
rying data traffic. The rest of this chapter describes the procedures for modifying the 6081RC’s factory default
configuration, should you desire to do so.
Configuring the 6081RC for bridging application
In this application the system will be configured as follows:
•
Patton Models 3201 at the customer premises running at 1 Mbps (with 16 64-kbps slots). The 3201s will
be configured for PPPoH bridging (PPP over HDLC).
Note
Refer to the Model 3201 Administrator’s Reference Guide that came
with the device for configuration information.
•
A Model 3096RC at the concentration point connecting to the 3201 CPEs, and cross connecting each
1 Mbps link (16 timeslots) from CPEs to the H.110 bus.
Note
Refer to the Model 3096RC Administrator’s Reference Guide that
came with the device for configuration information.
•
A 6081RC configured for PPP bridging, taking traffic from H.110 ports (passed by the 3096RC) 1-Mbps
links in each direction. Bridged traffic is passed to the 6081RC front panel for access to local network ser-
vices (e-mail, Internet, FTP, etc).
Note
The 6081RC Ethernet interface and remote CPEs must be in the
same IP subnet.
Model 6081RC configuration takes place in the following sequence:
1. H.110 channel configuration (see section
“H.110 channel configuration”
):
– Adding a channel (see section
“Defining H.110 channels”
on page 65)
– Setting port, timeslot and H.110 direction (see section
“Configuring channel parameters”
on page 66)
2. Bridge group configuration (see section
“Bridge group configuration”
on page 68):
– Adding a bridge group (see section
“Defining a bridge group”
on page 69)
– Configuring bridge group settings (see section
“Configuring bridge group parameters”
on page 70)
3. PPP channel configuration (see section
“PPP channel configuration”
on page 70):
4. Interface configuration (see section
“”
on page 72)
