Hardware Setup
Thissectionprovidesabbreviatedinstructionsforinstallingthehardware.
For more detailed information, see Model 5399 Remote Access
Concentrator Module Hardware Installation Guide.
To set up the 5399 RAC module:
1. Use the J5-J21/J22 jumper card and the adjacent DIP switch to
select the backplane Ethernet segment (Figure 1).
Figure 1. Model 5399 Jumper DIP Switch Locations
The Ethernet segment bank selector, consisting of three rows of 20 pins
(labeled J5, J21 and J22) and a jumper card, determines whether the
moduleconnects toEthernet segments1 through6or segments7through

12atpowerup. When the jumper card is installed on the two rowsof pins
nearest the front of the module (using J21), the module has access to
segments 1 through 6 (the factory default setting); when the jumper card
is installed on the two rows of pins nearest the back of the module (using
J22), the module has access to segments 7 through 12.
The specific segment bank is determined by the adjacent DIP switch as
shown in Table 1.
Table 1. Segment Selection DIP Switch Settings
2. Insert the 5399 RAC into the selected hub backplane slot and
secure the module using the inserter/extractor levers and the
captive screws.
3. Connect the console cable and terminal using the service port
on the 5000 chassis as the console port.
4. Set the terminal to 9600 bps, 8 bits, 1 stop bit, no parity, no flow
control, and ASCII.
5. Press the Esc key to display the Slot Selection menu.
6. Select the 5399 RAC module and press rto reset the module.
7. Initialize the 5399 RAC as a System 5000 Hub module and enter
the Monitor Mode. Follow the instructions in “Remote Access
Concentrator” in Section 2 of the
Model 5399 Remote Access
Concentrator Module Hardware Installation Guide.

segment (within the segment bank) than is indicated by the DIP
switch setting.

Setting the Network Address
After initializing the hardware, you initialize the firmware and enter the
IP address of the 5399 RAC.
For illustration purposes, sample response values indicate a 5399
RAC on an Ethernet network with the IP address 192.9.200.62. The
host system address is 192.9.200.55.
1. At the Monitor prompt, enter addr and answer the prompts as
shown in the example. To accept the default shown in brackets,
press the key.

Configuring the Remote Annex
Youcan configure 5399 RAC WANmodules using Quick2Config Annex
ortheNAcommand line interface,both of which can be run on the server
or another workstation on the network.
Protecting the Annex Configuration
Quick2Configrequiresthatthe5399RACbeconfiguredtoacceptSNMP
set commands. However, the 5399’s default setting for the
allow_snmp_sets parameter does not permit parameter value changes
becausetheSNMPsetcommand’sheadertransmitsthecommunitystring
in clear text, which may be a security risk. If security is a concern, you
can take the following measures:
1. Edit the %gateway section of the config.annex file for the 5399
RAC to define at least one community string with read/write
privileges. Change the line:
snmp community public
to:
snmp community q2cannex * read-write
The 5399 RAC will accept SNMP sets only from sources using the
community string q2cannex. You can further restrict the access by
including the IP address of the Annex Manager or Quick2Config
Annex host.
snmp community q2cannex 192.9.200.55 read-write
2. Invoke na, configure the 5399 RAC to accept and process SNMP
command sets, and exit na:
%na
command: annex 129.9.200.62
command: set annex allow_snmp_sets y
command: quit
3. Enter the selected community string when invoking
Quick2Config Annex.

Using Quick2Config Annex
To configure 5399 RAC using Quick2Config Annex:
1. At the Windows system, click on the Quick2Config icon to open
the application.
2. Choose File > Add Annex, enter the name or IP address of the
5399 RAC in the dialog box, and click on .
Quick2Config Annex lists the module and its WAN modules in the
tree view on the left and displays a set of tab windows on the right.
3. Select the module and use the tab windows to review and
modify Annex parameters.
4. Choose the Remote Address tab to set the range of IP addresses
to be used by the 5399 RAC.
5. Select the first WAN module to display the WAN Interface tab and
configure the module.
6. Select and configure the second WAN module.
7. Choose Help > Contents or click on in the dialog box for
detailed information on using Quick2Config Annex.
Configuring Security
By default, the 5399 RAC allows unrestricted access. If you want to
configure module security, refer to the Model 5399 Remote Access
Concentrator Network Administrator’s Guide for UNIX for information
on setting up security files such as acp_passwd and acp_userinfo.
If you have requested dial-up addresses from the acp_dialup file, see the
Model5399RemoteAccessConcentratorNetworkAdministrator’sGuide
for UNIX for information on adding users to that file.
Check the Security tab and other Quick2Config tab windows to make
sure the selections are appropriate to the configured security regime.
