U SING Q UICK S TART
Quick Start is recommended only for those users who are experienced with hardware and software
installation procedures. Quick Start is divided into two parts.
•Basics
This chapter gives detailed instructions on the initial installation steps that are required for all
CyberSWITCH configurations.
• Connectivity
This chapter gives instructions for connecting two of our products together via PPP. Separate
instructions are provided for bridging, IP, IPX, and AppleTalk configurations.

ACCESSING THE RELEASE NOTES
The Release Notes provide release highlights and important information related to this release that
should be reviewed before you begin the system’s installation and configuration.
The Release Notes are located on the CD as well as on the system’s FLASH file system.
The Release Notes on the CD are located in the REL_NOTE.TXT file. This file is a DOS text file you
can read on a DOS machine. Insert the CD into the drive, change to the proper directory, and enter
the following command at the DOS prompt:
[CD-ROM drive]:\[platform directory][ISDN standard directory][option directory]CSX1200>
type REL_NOTE.TXT | more
For example, if your CD-ROM is designated as drive D, you are installing is CSX1204, using US
ISDN standards and the IP/IPX option, you would use the following path:
D:\CSX1204\US\IPIPX> type REL_NOTE.TXT | more
ACCESSING THE CYBERSWITCH
There are two ways to access the system. The first method uses a console connection through the
console port on the back of the system, and connects up either a terminal or a workstation/PC
executing a terminal emulation program. The second method is to Telnet to the system. We
describe each of these methods below.
CONNECTING AN ADMINISTRATION CONSOLE
There are two ways to set up a console connection. The first way is to simply connect up an ASCII
terminal to the console port on the back of the system. This method can only be used to configure
or manage the system. To install or upgrade system software, you must use the second method
described below.
The second way is to use a PC or workstation to connect to the system. The CyberSWITCH does
not have a CD-ROM drive. Therefore, you must upgrade or install the software through an
attached PC, UNIX workstation, or any device that meets the following requirements:
• has a CD-ROM drive
• provides an RS232 terminal program
• has X-Modem communications capability (required for software upgrade only)
• has ASCII transfer capability (required for SSB recovery)
Any computer or terminal that meets these requirements and connects to the administration port
on the system can operate as an administration console.
Using the provided RS232 null modem cable, attach an administration console to the system. The
administration port is a 9-pin, male RS232 serial adapter:

B ASICS
Accessing the CyberSWITCH
Connect one end of a null modem cable to the console port on the CyberSWITCH, and the other
end to the communication port on the PC. On the PC you must then execute a communication
package to emulate a terminal (VT100). Your communication package should support file transfer
(Xmodem and ASCII) for software upgrades and installations.
Use the following default values for your communication package:
Baud rate 9600
Parity None
Data bits 8
Stop bits 1
Duplex Full
CHANGING THE BAUD RATE
The baudrate is changeable. The default rate performs well for configuration changes. A faster rate
is useful, however, to download new software upgrades to your system.
To change the baud rate through CFGEDIT:
1. Select Physical Resources from the main menu.
2. Select Data Line from the physical resources menu.
3. Follow the instructions to make changes to the ASYNCMDM.
4. When asked, enter the baud rate you want to use.
5. Step through the remaining parameters. The last entry will ask you if you would like to save
your changes. Answer yes.
6. To make the new baud rate effective, restart the system (with the
restart command).
7. Change the communications package you are using to the same baud rate.
To change the baud rate using Manage Mode:
1. Enter the Manage Mode by entering the following command:
>

3. Follow the on-screen instructions for changing the baud rate.
TELNET CONNECTION
You can access the CyberSWITCH with Telnet. To do this, you must use Telnet client software.The
CyberSWITCH has default IP addresses configured to allow Telnet access. The default LAN IP
address is 1.1.1.1. To access the CyberSWITCH you must set the device’s IP address to be on the
same subnet as the CyberSWITCH. We recommend that you use 1.1.1.2 and do this on a LAN that
is not connected to the internet. Then place the CyberSWITCH on the LAN and Telnet to the
address.
This default address allows immediate access to the system for installation purposes. Be sure to
change this IP address as soon as possible to one on your local subnet.
Note: Do NOT place more than one CyberSWITCH on a LANwiththe default setting. With both
having the same IP address, unpredictable results will occur.
You may also Telnet in via the WAN connection. The general procedures are:
1. Connect the system to the (WAN) ISDN line.
2. From a remote device that supports UnNumbered IP connections, dial in as a PPP CHAP
device USER1 (USER1 as secret). The address on the CyberSWITCH to Telnet to is 1.1.1.1.
3. From a remote device only supporting numbered IP connections, set up an IP Address 2.2.2.3
and have it dial as a PPP CHAP device USER2 (USER2 as secret). The address on the
CyberSWITCH to Telnet to is 2.2.2.2.
After you make a Telnet connection, enter your login id and password. Then you will be presented
with a system prompt and you can enter commands at that time.
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 two configuration tools to set up and/or alter your configuration. These tools are:
• CFGEDIT, the full configuration utility
• Manage Mode, the dynamic management utility
