WPIM-DI Local Management Guide 1-1
CHAPTER 1
INTRODUCTION
Welcome to the Cabletron Systems WPIM-DI Local Management
Guide . The WPIM-DI resides in and provides connectivity/functionality
to Cabletron Systems Wide Area Network (WAN) devices such as the
CSX400.
Before using this manual you must perform the following:
• Install the WPIM-DI in aWideArea Network host device. Refer to the
appropriate manual (i.e., the CSX400 and CSX400-DC User’s Guide )
for installation and troubleshooting procedures.
• Set up and access Local Management. Refer to the appropriate
standalone device or module User’s Guide for instructions on setting
up and accessing Local Management.
1.1 USINGTHIS MANUAL
Read through this guide completely to become familiar with the content
and to gain an understanding of the features and capabilities of the
WPIM-DI.You should have a general working knowledge of the
following data communications networks and their physical layer
components before using the WPIM-DI.
•WAN
• Ethernet and IEEE 802.3
The following briefly summarizes each chapter of the WPIM-DI manual.
Chapter 1, Introduction , outlines the contents of this guide, describes
WPIM-DI features, provides a list of related manuals, and concludes with
instructions for obtaining help from Cabletron Systems Technical
Support.
Chapter 2, Local Management , describes how to use Local Management
to set up the WPIM-DI.

Chapter 1: Introduction
1-2 WPIM-DI Local Management Guide
Appendix A, WPIM-DI Specifications , provides specifications for the
WPIM-DI and also gives Cabletron Systems part numbers and connector
information for WPIM-DI interface cables.
Appendix B, Typical Configurations , presents common configurations
for the WPIM-DI.
Appendix C, FCC Part 68 - User’s Information , explains the FCC rules
governing the WPIM-DI.
Appendix D, WAN Terms and Acronyms , provides a brief glossary of
the terms used in this book.
1.2 WPIM-DI FEATURES
The WPIM-DI extends the functionality of a Wide Area Network module
to allow remote connectivity using WAN services such as T-1, or
Fractional T-1.
The WPIM-DI provides a T-1 interface that includes a built-in Channel
Service Unit/Digital Service Unit (CSU/DSU) for direct connection to a
T-1 line. This WPIM supports both Full T-1 or Fractional T-1 using 56 or
64 Kbps timeslots.
The WPIM-DI also provides a Drop and Insert (DI) interface which
allows for a second WAN module (e.g., WPIM-T1) to utilize any
timeslots that are not used for host data. The WPIM-DI is capable of T1
multiframe alignment.
WAN Protocols
The module in which the WPIM-DI is installed supports the following
WAN protocols (refer to the Release Notes included with the host MIM or
standalone device for a list of current protocols):
• Point-to-Point Protocol (LCP) as defined by RFC 1661
• Point-to-Point Protocol (BNCP) as defined by RFC 1638
• Point-to-Point Protocol LAN Extender (PPP/LEX)
• Frame Relay as defined by RFC 1490
MIB Support
Refer to the Release Notes included with the host MIM or standalone
device for a list of all MIBs supported by the WPIM-DI. For information
about how to extract and compile individual MIBs, contact Cabletron
Systems Technical Support (refer to Section 1.5, Getting Help ).
