ACCESSING THE CYBERSWITCH
CONNECTING AN ADMINISTRATION CONSOLE
This section describes how to connect an administration console. Youwill use the console to control
the system.
The system supports two administration console options: local and remote. Both options will be
explained in this section. Follow the steps for the administration console option you will be using.
Note: Once the system is up and running, you may wish to connect to the console using Telnet.
Refer to the Remote Management chapter of the User’s Guide for additional information
concerning Telnet.
CONNECTING ALOCAL ADMINISTRATION CONSOLE
With a local administration console, the user creates a direct connection to the CyberSWITCH by
attaching a monitor and keyboard to the system. It is configured to support a PS/2-style keyboard
and a VGA 15-pin monitor. These are NOT supplied. This simple connection process is explained
below:
1. Attach keyboard plug to the keyboard connector located on the back of the system.
2. Attach monitor cable to the local monitor port located on the back of the system.
For the exact location of the keyboard connector and the local monitor port, refer to the platform
diagrams included in the Hardware Overview chapter of the User’s Guide.
CONNECTING AREMOTE ADMINISTRATION CONSOLE
A remote administration console gives the user the ability to operate the CyberSWITCH remotely.
To use the remote administration console option, you will need an IBM Compatible PC that runs
Carbon Copy, and the appropriate cabling. These cables are NOT supplied. Refer to the Remote
Management chapter of the User’s Guide for additional information concerning Carbon Copy.
You will also need the Manager diskette toconnect the remote administration console option. This
software is available (as an option) when you order a CyberSWITCH. If you did not order the
Manager software, you must use the local administration console option. Call your distributor to
order this software.
To connect the Remote Administration Console, follow these steps:
1. Using the appropriate cabling, attach the administration console PC to the system.
The remote administration port is a 9-pin, male RS232 serial adapter. For the location of the
port, refer to the Hardware Overview chapter of the User’s Guide.
You can use a standard RS232 cable with a null-modem device for direct attachment between
the administration console PC and the CyberSWITCH. If you are using remote attachment,
connect the administration console PC and the system to their respective modems.

QUICK START
10 CyberSWITCH
2. Install the Manager software onto the administration console PC. This step is OPTIONAL,
since it requires the administration console PC to have a hard disk with 1 MB of free space. You
can execute the Manager software from the diskette; however, running this software from the
hard disk is more efficient.
Insert the Manager software diskette into the diskette drive on the administration console PC
and enter the following command, replacing “diskette drive letter” with the appropriate
administration console PC drive (for example “A”). Type:
install<return>
When the DOS prompt reappears, the software installation on the administration console is
complete.
The Carbon Copy software on the Manager diskette is delivered with the following default
settings:
Comm Port Address COM1
Baud Rate 9600
Modem Type Direct Connect
If you want to attach remotely to the system using modems, you must change these settings by
using the CCINSTAL program. Refer to the Remote Management chapter of the User’s Guide for
details on running this program.
LOGIN ON THE CYBERSWITCH
Once you have a connection to the CyberSWITCH, you will be presented with a prompt to enter
your log in id. Use admin as the login id. You will then be prompted for a new password, so choose
a password that you will remember. If your software was previously accessed by your distributor,
your password will be admin (in lower case).
After you have logged in, you many enter any command at the system prompt.
MAKING CONFIGURATION CHANGES
We provide the following configuration tools to set up and/or alter your configuration:
• CFGEDIT, the full configuration utility
• Manage Mode, the dynamic management utility

Upgrading System Software
Note: If you are prompted for configuration information that you don’t know, use the default.
This document will provide detailed instructions if something other than the default is
required.
Once the system is working, minor configuration changes can be made in real time with the
Dynamic Management feature. This feature consists of console commands that enable you to
display current system parameters, change many parameters dynamically, and write changes to
disk files so thatthey remain permanent.Before usingDynamic Management commands, youmust
first enter the special Manage Mode by typing the following command at the system prompt:
>manage
While operating in Manage Mode, only Dynamic Management commands are available. All other
system commands are ignored until you exit Manage Mode.To save changes to Manage Mode,
enter the
commit command. To leave Manage Mode, enter the exit command.
UPGRADING SYSTEM SOFTWARE
The system upgrade consists of a set of 3.5" diskettes that contain the necessary upgrade software.
These upgrade diskettes may be used on more than one CyberSWITCH.
Once a system is upgraded, you may then upgrade any Manager diskettes purchased for the
upgraded system.
Notes: If you have an older platform, there is a possibility that the new features we have added
may use up the available memory. Therefore, this release may effect the number of
compression sessions available. You may want to purchase more memory for your
CyberSWITCH. Contact your distributor.
You may not perform a software upgrade on a system if you will be changing the country
version of the software. For example, you may not upgrade a NTT version to a US version;
you must instead do an install.
With the availability of the DM-24, modem upgrade is now a possibility. A Digital Modem
upgrade is beyond the scope of this section. For more information on upgrading modem
firmware, refer to the
modem upgrade command in the System Commands chapter of the
User’s Guide.

8. Reboot to complete the Upgrade process.
Note: Before you configure your CyberSWITCH, issue the
ver command and check to make
sure that you have selected the correct platform. If you have not selected the correct
platform, you must reinstall your software and select the correct platform during the
installation process.
REMOTE UPGRADE
The remote upgrade feature will allow you to upgrade the CyberSWITCH by transferring the
upgrade file and then remotely issuing a
restart command. To accomplish this, you will need
the rupgrade.bat and the latest autoexec.bat files, available with release 7.2 and beyond.
To remotely upgrade the operational software, follow these steps:
1. From the PC/workstation, Telnet to the CyberSWITCH and login as admin.
2. Verify that the system is ready to receive TFTP upgrades:
• Enter MANAGE MODE by typing
manage <RET> at the system prompt.
•UsingtheMANAGEMODEcommand
tftp , verify that:
• TFTP feature is enabled
• TFTP server is enabled
• TFTP server is assigned ADMIN file access rights
•UsingtheMANAGEMODEcommand
fileattr , verify that:
• ADMIN has READ/WRITE access to CONFIG files

B ASICS
Change Defaults to Secure System
• ADMIN has READ/WRITE access to OTHER files
• Exit MANAGE MODE by typing
exit <RET>.
3. If you are upgrading to Release 7.2 software, perform the following:
• Using the TFTP client on the remote workstation, TFTP PKUNZIP.EXE to the \admin di-
rectory of the CyberSWITCH to be upgraded.
• TFTP RUGRADE.BAT to the \ (root) directory.
• TFTP AUTOEXEC.BAT to the \ (root) directory.
If you are upgrading from Release 7.2 to a later release, skip this step. (These files are already
included in 7.2 software).
4. Using the TFTP client on the remote workstation, TFTP UPGRADE.OSW to the \ (root)
directory of the CyberSWITCH to be upgraded.
Notes: If you experience a transmission timeout, check the retransmission setting on the TFTP
package. A retransmission rate of 10 seconds is usually sufficient; values less than that
may not work properly.
If you experience a problem transferring the file with TFTP, wait about three minutes
for the TFTP to fail, delete the incomplete file, and try again.
5. Telnet to the CyberSWITCH and issue the
restart command.
HANDLING UPGRADE WARNINGS AND ERRORS
During Step 5 of the Upgrade process, checks are made to ensure that the system is in a “normal”
condition before an upgrade. If something abnormal is found, you will be warned of the
abnormality and the upgrade process is halted. In the event that you receive any of the following
error messages, contact Customer Support for assistance.
Possible errors:
Invalid OLD System file.
You can only upgrade from release: n.n.n.
Machine running release: n.n.n.
Could not open old System file.
Cannot run upgrade.
CHANGE DEFAULTS TO SECURE SYSTEM
The system is preconfigured with defaults that were designed to make it possible to have your
system up and running quickly. After your machine is functioning properly, some of these defaults
should be changed to make your system more secure. The following configuration changes are
needed to provide this security:
1. Either delete User1 and User2 or change their names and secrets.
Use Dynamic Management’s manage mode to carry out either of these functions. To enter the
manage mode, type
manage at the system prompt. If you have no need for these types of

Connecting a Central Site Product to a Workgroup Product via PPP
4. Under Security, select Device Level Databases, select On-node Device Entries, then add a device
where the Device Name (Remote) must match the system name on Remote. When you add the
device you must then enter the following information:
a. Under ISDN Information select ISDN Line Protocol, then select PPP.
b. Optional: If you wish to dial out to Remote, under ISDN Information you must enter a dial
out number (13135552222) and a base data rate (64Kb).
c. Under Authentication you must:
• Change CHAP Secret so that it matches Remote’s System secret (Remote_S).
• Optional: Configure Calling Line Ids (if Calling Line Id security was enabled).
d. Under IP Information you must configure an IP Address of 0.0.0.0 for Remote since this is
an unnumbered network interface. You should also check to make sure that IP Routing is
on and Callable by IP is on.
5. Return to the Options menu, select IP Routing, then select Static Route. You will have to
configure a static route to the 201.1.2.0 LAN. When you configure a static route to a site that
uses a unnumbered interface you must enter the device name of the next hop device, Remote in
this case.
CONFIGURATION FOR SITE "REMOTE"
The configuration on Remote to allow IP Routing to Central using PPP is as follows:
1. Perform initial configuration steps.
2. Under Options, select Bridging, then disable bridging. Select IP Routing, then:
a. Enable IP Routing.
b. Under IP Interfaces change the LAN Interface IP address (201.1.2.1).
c. Under IP Interfaces make sure you have a WAN UnNumbered Interface.
3. Under Security, select System Options and Information, then under System Information:
a. Set your System Name (Remote). This matches up with Remote device information
configured on Central.
b. Set your System Secret (Remote_S). This matches up with Remote device information
configured on Central.
4. Under Security, select Device Level Databases, select On-node Device Entries, then add a device
where the Device Name (Central) must match the system name on Central. When you add the
device you must then enter the following information:
a. Under ISDN Information select ISDN Line Protocol then select PPP.
b. To dial out to Central, under ISDN Information you must enter a dial out number
(13135551111) and a base data rate (64Kb).
c. Under Authentication you must:
• Change CHAP Secret so that it matches Central’s System secret (Central_S).
• Optional: Configure Calling Line Ids (if Calling Line Id security was enabled).
d. Under IP Information you must configure an IP Address of 0.0.0.0 for Central since this is
an unnumbered network interface. You should also check to make sure that IP Routing is
on and Callable by IP is on.
5. Return to the Options menu, select IP Routing, then select Static Route. You will have to
configure a static route to the 199.2.2.0 LAN. When you configure a static route to a site that
uses a unnumbered interface you must enter the device name of the next hop device, Central in
this case.
