1 INTRODUCTION
The Internet Protocol-Data Service Unit (IP-DSU) allows for an incremental transition
from your existing network to the more flexible world of seamless interoperability that is
inherent in routed IP networking technology.
The IP-DSU allows IP networks to carry both their original traffic and BNS-2000/BNS-
2000 VCS (or similar legacy device) trunk traffic simultaneously. It replaces an existing,
conventional DSU on each end of a private-line circuit and eliminates the interconnecting
dedicated facility, since the BNS traffic can now be carried over an IP network. This
represents enormous savings for each trunk facility eliminated. Existing cabling between
the BNS-2000/BNS-2000 VCS entity and the conventional DSU can usually be reused.
Typical use of the IP-DSU is illustrated in the following diagram.
The IP-DSU supports a wide range of interface trunk types, allowing for flexible
installation and the ability to re-deploy IP-DSU units as the network evolves.

Trunk-T1 Trunks
This option supports the BNS-2000 TRK-T1 and T1-TRK
modules.
Generic
SDLC/HDLC
Any version of SDLC or HDLC is supported with this port
configuration. Supported speeds range from 9600 bps to T1
(1.544 Mbps). Line encoding of NRZ, NRZI, and inverted
NRZI are supported.
The IP-DSU is easy to manage, providing several easy ways to configure and access
status/diagnostic information. A telnet connection to the IP-DSU using the standard
telnet server port (port 23), gives access to a command-line-based configuration
application. In addition, a serial RS232-C connection offers the same configuration
capability. Finally, the IP-DSU is another network element that the StarKeeper® II NMS
can administer, manage and maintain.
The IP-DSU can field upgraded. Upgrades are accomplished through two different I/O
interfaces accessed via its I/O board: Telnet or RS-232C.
The IP-DSU houses an SNMP Version 1 agent and supports a large array of MIB
variables. Trap, Set and Get operations are available as well.
The IP-DSU supports up to two TACACS+ RADIUS servers for login authentication.
These are a primary, and a secondary, although each is individually enabled. The
TACACS+ support is for either encrypted, or clear authorization. Encryption keys may
contain spaces.

2 PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION
Stand-Alone IP-DSU Rack-Mount IP-DSU panel
The compact IP-DSU is available as a stand-alone unit and can also be configured to
mount into an available rack-mount panel, to fit various space and configuration
requirements. It can be configured as either a 115V/220V AC or 48V DC powered unit. It
must be placed at a location with cable access to both the BNS trunk I/O board and the
local IP network.
2.1 Device Interface
Through a DB25 RS530 connector, the IP-DSU supports two software-selectable device
interfaces: V.35 and RS232-C. The female connector electrically presents a data
communication equipment (DCE) interface.
For V.35, a 34-pin electrical interface used for connecting the BNS trunk I/O board to the
IP-DSU, a standard RS530 to V.35 adapter is available.
The IP-DSU DB25 RS530 connector directly supports RS232-C, which, in this case, is a
25-pin electrical interface for connecting the BNS trunk I/O board to the IP-DSU.
2.2 10BaseT LAN Interface
This interface requires a standard RJ45-terminated Category 5 twisted-pair data cable. It
connects to a 10BaseT hub or router on the local LAN segment.
IP-DSU User’s Manual
02/02/08 9
2.3 Console interface
This interface requires a standard RJ45-terminated twisted-pair data cable. It connects
as data terminating equipment (DTE) to an asynchronous device, and uses RS232-C
signaling. Connection to the IP-DSU console is required for initial administration or
StarKeeper® II NMS alarm collection. Otherwise, the console can be disconnected
during normal operation.1
2.4 Rack-mount Panel
The IP-DSU rack-mount panel contains twelve slots to accommodate that number of IP-
DSU units. Each rack-mount panel fits in a 19 or 23 inch EIA standard-equipment rack
(use extension ears when mounting in a 23-inch rack). The rack-mount panel supports 1
inch, 1.75 inch and 2 inch spacing between vertical rail mounting holes. Mounting ears
for IP-DSU placements in the rack-mount panel are available.
2.5 Power Interfaces
Dual power interfaces are present on the IP-DSU faceplate. A circular interface labeled
“5 VDC” mates with the barrel connector of a standard wall outlet AC to DC power
transformer for 115V AC installations. A three position (accepting return, minus and
ground power wires) terminal block labeled “48 VDC” is commonly used in central-office
installations.
The IP-DSU is factory configured for 115V AC usage. 48V DC operation requires a
different jumper setting on the IP-DSU system board. (See Installation Section)
2.5.1 Stand-alone AC Power
For this application, a separate AC power supply is available. The power supply has a
six-foot cable that terminates with a barrel connector. The power supply plugs into a
standard 115V AC outlet. The barrel connector plugs into the circular connector labeled
“5 VDC” on the IP-DSU faceplate.
2.5.2 Rack-mount AC Power
IP-DSU rack-mount AC power is the same as in the stand-alone case. This configuration
requires one AC power supply for each IP-DSU unit. However, it is recommended that
1The IP-DSU also supports console access through a TCP telnet connection and makes use of the
embedded device standard telnet server port (tcp 1023). This service is available only when the unit is in
service.
IP-DSU User’s Manual
02/02/08 10
your equipment rack be outfitted with sufficient power strips to accommodate all of the
AC power supplies.
2.5.3 Stand-alone DC Power
The stand-alone IP-DSU accepts DC power input directly from a 48V DC power source
and connects into the three position (accepting return, minus and ground power wires)
terminal block labeled “48 VDC” on the faceplate. The terminal-block connectors
accommodate 14 awg to 24 awg (American Wire Gauge) wire. A strain-relief clamp is
available separately for DC wire stabilization.
2.5.4 Rack-mount DC Power
The rack-mount IP-DSU accepts DC power input directly from a 48V DC power source
and connects into a main, three position (accepting return, minus and ground power
wires) terminal block labeled “48 VDC” on the rack-mount panel faceplate. Power is
distributed to six terminal blocks vertically below the main terminal block, where each
individual terminal block powers a single IP-DSU. Each rack-mount panel accepts two
48V DC power feeds. Twelve IP-DSU units can be powered in this manner. The terminal
block connectors accommodate 10awg to 14awg (American Wire Gauge) wire. A strain-
relief clamp is available separately for DC wire stabilization

The following command sequence can be followed to quickly configure an IP-DSU for
operation. The command sequence may also be performed before field installation,
since configuration parameters are non-volatile once entered.
The IP-DSU is pre-configured with a valid, licensed, MAC address. If the MAC address
is lost, refer to the MAC address on the IP-DSU bottom label and re-enter it.
When the IP-DSU is powered, <IP-DSU> is displayed at the console.
Execute the following command sequence to configure the unit.
<IP-DSU>
Type: login passwd=initial [RETURN]
Display: M LOGIN
USER IS LOGGED IN IP-DSU
<IP-DSU>
Type: lo ipaddr=<this unit’s IP address> submask=<this unit’s
subnet mask> [RETURN]
Display: <IP-DSU>
Type: dest ipaddr=<remote unit's IP address> [RETURN]
Display: <IP-DSU>
Type: gateway ipaddr=<gateway's IP address> [RETURN]
Display: <IP-DSU>
Type: port type=< SWT|SAMWT|T1|DDS|HDLC (select one)>[RETURN]

3.7 Field Upgrade and Software Registration
The IP-DSU, when initially delivered, is fully registered and does not need any keys to
activate the software. Software keys are required when an optional individual feature
packages is added to the device. Finally, when the IP-DSU is upgraded with revised
software, one or more software keys are required to register the installed software and
any feature packages registered for the device.
When performing an upgrade, the revised software is initially downloaded by upgrade4
into a staging area and is not active. The software then is activated by a reboot. The
new software will execute normally prior to registration. However, no backup, reloads, or
upgrades can be performed. Module level parameters, such as the device IP address,
may be changed and activated. If a user port is taken out of service, the port cannot be
restored.
The procedure for performing a software registration has been mechanized. Manual
procedures are error prone and not recommended. They are no longer covered in this
user manual.
The mechanized Software Upgrade Registration procedure allows simplified
administration of one or more devices. When a quantity of devices are upgraded,
manual software registration of each device has the potential of becoming increasingly
tedious. The mechanized software upgrade registration process was designed to
alleviate the problems associated with multiple device upgrades. It is also preferred for
single device upgrades as it eliminates any potential for error.
The new software is downloaded to the IP-DSU via the upgrade command. This may be
performed for one or more devices. The “-r” option to the dtupgrade command will restart
the device on the new software after the download completes successfully. It is highly
recommended. In the alternative, the device may be downloaded without a restart and
restarted at a later time during a scheduled maintenance window. Restarting the device
on the new software prior to registration is required. After the restart, the devices will
continue to operate normally on the new software without registration. Some operations
interface functions are inhibited pending software registration. Below is an example of a
typical upgrade invocation. Note the use of the “-r” option as it is recommended.

Mechanized registration is performed in three steps. Each of which does not require user
intervention.
The steps are as follows:
1. The getinfo utility is invoked on a file containing a list of devices to be
administered. This file is called the master device list file and is typically
named “dt_device.master”. The master device list file may have any name
and it is provided as an argument to the getinfo utility. The master device list
may also contain devices that do not require registration. The getinfo utility
makes inquiry of each device in the master device list and creates a device
information file named “dt_device.info” in the current directory.
registration processing.
3. A file name “dt_device.register” file is returned via email to be used as input
in the next step. A file named “dt_device.msgs” is a text file that may be
displayed or printed showing the results of the registration function.
4. The setreg utility is invoked and uses the “dt_device.register” file provided as
an argument. If no argument is provided, the file is assumed to be in the
current directory. The setreg utility contacts each device that requires
registration and have been assigned keys. One or more keys are installed
during the dialogue.
5. The “dt_device.info” file and the “dt_device.register” file are deleted as they
are transient and have no further value. Neither can be reused for the
purpose of registration. However, the dt_device.info file may be used for
inventory reports..
The source for the registration procedure is the inventory master device list file that is
created, and maintained, by the administrator using their favorite text editor.
The master device list file contains one IP address per line, with an optional TCP port,
and an optional password override, to access the device. The IP address is the console
connection address, and not necessarily the actual device IP address. Registration via
the serial console is explicitly supported. Comments are allowed between addresses,
and after addresses. A password override is only required if the default password of
“initial” has been changed.
The master device file line format is as follows:
