You must first obtain
this information from your local ISDN provider, which is usually the telephone company:
-
Your Switch Type (the switch that your ISDN provider's local central office
is using)
-
Your SPIDs (Service Profile Identifiers) (These looks like the area
code + 7 digit phone number + 0101)
Before you begin, and definitely before you can access the Internet, you must setup the router and you will need the following information.
- Your User Name (also called Login Name) "firstname_lastname" (e.g. john_smith)
- Type of Password Authorization (PAP)Your Password (e.g. funtime)
- Your ISP's Domain name (ectisp.net)
- Your ISP's DNS IP addresses (e.g. 38.114.25.17
and 38.114.25.22)
- The IP Address of the access server you are
dialing into (the default route) this is usually close to their DNS addresses (e.g. 38.114.25..1/27)
- A phone number to dial to establish a
connection to your ISP (9729230521)
You will need to directly "talk" to your Pipeline, this is
accomplished by either a serial cable connection (and using something like
HyperTerminal), or a telnet connection directly into the router. (Telnetting
is done in Windows by clicking "Start" then "Run" and typing "telnet"
followed by the IP address of your router. (e.g telnet 192.168.100.100)
without the brackets. You
must have already accomplished the basic setup of your Pipeline, which gives
it an IP address, before you can Telnet into it.
Be sure to turn everything off
before you do this.
Plug in the ISDN line into the WAN port of the Pipeline, and hook a cable
to the Serial Port of the Pipeline, and the other end to your PC's
Serial Port. . (You need to know the Com port COM
1 or COM 2 of the serial connection you made to your PC ). Then
open up hyperterminal, and set it up to make a connection to the Pipeline.
(Start-Programs-Accessories-Hyperterminal. Then click Hyper Terminal (or
equivalent), you want to make a new connection name it "Pipeline". Make
the "Connect using" "Direct to Com <whatever your serial port's Comm
port is>" In the example below it is Com1. Next time you need to make changes
go to Start-Programs-Accessories-Hyperterminal-Pipeline.
Click "OK". Then set parameters like shown below, everything else is
the default.
Click OK again. Now press Ctrl-L (Hold down Ctrl and press L at the
same time) on your keyboard this will refresh the screen and you should
see the setup screen. If you don't see the Pipeline's Setup screen, try
pressing Ctrl-L again. If you still don't see the setup screen check your
serial cable and make sure you have the right COM port.
Once you have established a hyperterminal link to the Pipeline,
you need to know how to move around in the menu selections.
Use Ctrl-N to move cursor to the next menu item, or you can use the
up and down arrows.
One more thing about moving though the menu the "Esc" key will back
you out of a menu.
Next to change the configurations on the router, you will need to get
into a edit mode.
Do a Ctrl-D (Hold down Ctrl and press D at the same time.)
Use the up and down arrows.
>P=Password... (Press "Enter")
>Full Access... (Press "Enter")
Enter Password:
[Ascend] (Press "Enter") Note: Ascend is the default
password with capital A
Now if you have typed the right password you will see in the "00-100
Sys Option" status window should show the follow
>Security Prof: 3
Lets get started! Using your up and down arrows
keys get to:
Main Edit Menu...
Configure... (Press "Enter") Note: Pressing
enter will change the settings in each of the following menus.
Switch Type=NI-1 (as obtained from your ISDN provider)
Chan Usage=Switch/Switch
My Num A=(put in your 1st local
10 digit phone number). (e.g. 9729379768)
(Spaces, periods or hyphens are not necessary.)
My Num B=(put in your 2nd local
10 digit phone number).(e.g. 9729379998)
(Spaces, periods or hyphens are not necessary.)
SPID 1=(your 1st SPID number assigned
to you by your ISDN provider. (e.g. 97293797680101)
(Do not include any spaces, periods or hyphens.
This is your area code + 7 digit phone number + SPID)
SPID 2=(your 2nd SPID number assigned to you
by your ISDN provider. (e.g. 97293799980101)
(Do not include any spaces, periods or hyphens.
This is your area code + 7 digit phone number + SPID)
Data Usage=A+B
Phone 1 Usage=A 3.1K audio
Phone 2 Usage=B 3.1K audio
Phone Num Binding=NO
Ans Voice Call=NO (leave at default, but this is up to
you)
My Name=firstname_lastname (e.g.
john_smith)
My Addr=192.168.100.100/24 (This
is the IP address of your router, the Pipeline)
Rem Name= ectisp.net (The case here is important so use all
lower case)
Rem Addr= 38.114.25.1/27
Dial #= Use the local ISDN
number list to dial into ECTISP

Send PW= funtime Your Password

Recv Auth=NONE
Recv PW=N/A
Save=* (Saves your basic configuration)
Don't forget to save your changes!
Another way of saving your changes is to press the "esc"
key to you get to the save config window
and then the press the"2" key.
Once you save your line configurations, your "10-100 Link" status window
should show the following:
Link "D"
NOTE: Your "Link" status window is located at the top/middle of your
terminal screen.
If you don't see this, try [CTRL] L to refresh your screen.
If you see Link: "X"
Then you have a physical layer problem. Check your cabling.a. If you
still have a problem, it could be that your ISDN line is not turned on,
or the Pipeline's WAN port is faulty. Contact Ascend technical support
if you're not sure.
If you see Link:
"." (a dot)
Then you have a logical link problem. This means that your Pipeline
and the ISDN provider's central office switch are talking to each other,
but not in the same language (they are out of sync). Most likely causes
would either be the wrong switch type setting, or the wrong SPIDs.
Now go back to the:

For some reason the Pipeline ships with the service
set to 56K. You need to manually change this to 64K in order to get the
full benefit of your 64K/128K ISDN connection (unless of course you only
have 56K ISDN service).
This is done as follows:
Ethernet... (Press "Enter")
Connections.... (Press "Enter")
ectisp.net.... (Press "Enter")
Press the down arrow to you get to:
Telco Options..... (Press "Enter")
Go to Data SVC=56K and change that to say 64K. Then save
the configuration again.
Also for the automatic Dynamic Bandwidth Allocation (DBA) This is what
automatically brings up the second channel as needed. to work properly,
change your settings Min, Base, and MAX Channels
Ethernet....(Enter)
Connections....(Enter)
ectisp.net (Enter)
Station=Yes
Active=Yes
Encaps=MPP
Don't forget to save your changes!
Your line usage needs to match what you have setup with ECTISP 64K or
128K.
For 64k ISDN account.
Encaps options...(Enter)
Base Ch Count=1
Min Ch Count=1
Max Ch Count=1
Don't forget to save your changes!
For 128k ISDN account.
