1. Introduction
The Atlas250 is adevice developed byTELDAT designed to adapt to most habitual teleprocess
networks scenarios: corporate, SME and personal environments (SOHO).
Throughits WAN-LAN connections, this device provides router IPfunctions, supportingOSPF and
other dynamic routing protocols. The Atlas250 also presents awide varietyof connection possibilities
in SNA environments, fromLLC2 and SDLC to QLLC conversion, that allow direct interconnection
of an Atlas250 to alocal networkwithout requiringacommunication card in the server, and includes
SNA transport over IPnetworksthroughData LinkSwitching(DLSw). This option permits the
transport networkarchitecture to be standardized for TCP/IP.
As regards interfaces with public or private Wide Area Network(WAN), the Atlas250 permits access
to the Integrated Services Digital Network(ISDN) through a basic access through D and/or B channel.
Inaddition to the direct X.25 option, the possibilityof FRAME-RELAY or PPP connections up to
speeds of 2 Mbps has been added.
The basic configuration consists of two LAN interfaces and three serial WAN interfaces and an ISDN
access. This can be amplified throughthe insertion of cards, both in Teldat format as well as in PMC
format (PCIMezzanine Card), which can support encryption, voice over IP (VoIP), xDSL, etc.

1.1. Recycling and the Environment
Please do not under anycircumstances throw awayany Atlas250 with normal domestic waste. Ask
your local town hall for information on how to correctlydispose of themso protectingthe
environment against e-waste. Always respect the current laws regardingwaste material.
Anyone found violatingthe environmental laws will be subject to fines and anyadditional steps
established bylaw.
All the packingmaterials i.e. the cardboard box, plastic and anyother packagingtogether with the
pieces makingup an Atlas250 must be recycled complyingwith the current active laws regarding
recyclingmaterials.
The abovesymbol with across over the rubbish container can be seen on the device. This means that
when adevice reaches the end of its life, it must be taken to the official recycling/disposal centers
where it must be disposed of in an environmentallyresponsible manner and separate fromnormal
domestic waste.

2. Installation
The Atlas250 multimedia router is designed to be both adesktop and arackdevice. Ineither case, in
order to accomplish correct installation, please follow the recommendations given below:
BEFORE CONNECTING THE DEVICE PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING
INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY.
2.1. General installation conditions
Workplace Conditions
Bear in mind the followingrecommendations:
1. Excessivecold and heat should be avoided, as should humidityand dust. Direct
exposure to sunlight should be avoided as well as other heat sources. The device should
not be placed amongst papers, magazines or other elements that could hinder natural air
circulation.
2. The device should not be placed veryclose to strongelectromagnetic fields such as
speakers, engines, etc.
3. Knocksand/or strongvibrations should be avoided duringtransport, operation and
storage.
Power supply
The Atlas250 communications device does not require special conditions as regards voltagestability
or protection against power malfunctions as it is alreadyprotected.
To avoid electric shocks, residual current circulation and other unwanted effects, also affectingdata
communications, the followingis recommended:
• It is highly recommended that all interconnected data devices be plugged to THE
SAME GROUNDED POWER OUTLET, which should at the sametimebe of good
quality (lower than 10ohms).
• Whether the workplace is provided with an uninterrupted power supply system
(UPS), regulated supply or it is independent fromthe rest (such as lighting, etc.); it
is highly recommended that all data devices should be connected to the samepower
source. This will avoid operating and premature aging problemsof drivers and
other components.
WARNING: Electric supply current, telephone and communication cables are dangerous. To
prevent electric shock while installing, moving or opening the device covers, cables should
be disconnected and connected as follows.
To connect the Atlas250 To disconnect the Atlas250
• Make sure that the device power supply
switch is OFF • Switch off the device.
• Connect all the data cables. • Disconnect the power supplycable
• Connect the power supplycable. • Disconnect the data cables.
• Switch on the device.

2.2. Connection
a) LAN Ethernet connection
The LAN interface has two female RJ45 connectors in order to connect to the Ethernet 10BaseT /
100BaseT networksthroughshielded twisted pairs (STP) or unshielded (UTP) cables. These cables
are not supplied with the equipment; please consult your supplier with regard to this.
Dependingon the designof the Network,the connection is carried out throughaHUB or directlyto
another terminal device Ethernet interface throughacrossover cable (please consult your supplier for
information on crossover Ethernet cables).
b) WAN or external modem connection
The DTE/DCE multistandard serial interfaces have a DB25 female connector in order to connect to an
external modemor for connection to X.25, Frame Relaynetworks, etc.
Dependingon the type of connection established, a different type of cable will be needed. This cable
can be supplied byTeldat if you wish.
On the underside on the device, there is aflap providingaccess to the sockets in order to insert the
V.24 DTE/DCE, V.35 DTE/DCE, and X.21 DTE/DCE drivers. These drivers are not multi-
purpose. The configuration for the operation mode is carried out byinvertingthe position of the
driver (this appears labeled as “T” indicatingthat this acts as terminal, and “M” indicatingmodem
functions). The operation mode is that indicated bythe label closest to the connector.
La The default configuration for the drivers (on leaving the factory) is indicated on a
label located on the underside of the device, close to the drivers access flap.
Inthe below figure you can see agiven drivers configuration. WAN 1operates in DCE mode and
WAN 2 in DTE mode.

c) ISDN Connection
The ISDN interface presents an RJ45 female connector to connector the 4-wire S bus comingfromthe
ISDN networkterminator (NT1 or TR1).
You can use aflat cable with RJ45 male connectors, provided with the device for connection purposes.
Passive-Bus terminal resistances
The Atlas250 routers haveapushbutton (labeled as “TERM”) in order to connect the BUS-S
termination resistances. The placingof these terminal resistances in the correct position is important
as contrariwise this can lead to errors in data (or voice), particularlyif the “S” bus line is long.On
leavingthe factory, the pushbutton, bydefault, is in the “ON” position.
• The only or last terminal in the ISDN “S” bus
The “TERM” pushbutton must be in the ON position if the router is the onlyelement connected
to the networkterminal (NT1, TR1, etc) or is in the last position on the ISDN “S” bus.

2.3. Installation in a rack
In order to install the Atlas250 router in a 19-inch rack, you require two plastic strips as can be seen in
the figure. The strips and the associated screws are not included in the basic packet and need to be
acquired separately.
Both strips are attached to the device through four screws, two at each side, as shown in the figure.
Figure 7. Attaching the strips
The spaces for the screws in the Atlas250 router leavethe factoryprotected bycovers. These can be
removed byusingasharp tool (such as a small flat screwdriver). We recommend removingthe upper
cover in order to carrythis out more easily.

2.4. Switching on the device
Once the device has been installed in the workplace followingthe steps previouslygiven, you can
switch on the device. Once this has been carried out, aprocess of auto-test and initialization,
explained below, takes place.
Firstly,the device carries out abrief auto-test where it checksthat the startup programis correct and a
brief detection and initialization of the SDRAM present in the device. With each step taken, aLED
lights up in yellow beginningwith the SLED. Ifanyproblemsare detected the process stops and the
SLED flashes in red. Once this process has completed, the console is available and begins to display
data.
Once the bootingprocess has terminated, an auto-test and auto-detection test of the motherboard
hardware takes place. Firstlyall the device LEDs light up in yellow followed byred and lastlyin
green. This simplifies the operations visual checkingprocedure. Subsequently,for each tested
internal element, adevice LED lights up in yellow beginningwith the SLED. Ifthe test is successful
the LED remains green. If anymalfunctions are detected, the corresponding LED remains lit up in red
and once the auto-test has completed, dependingon the problem,the device resets and repeats the
process or permits you to operate through the console in order to resolve the problem.
Initializingthe device, all the LEDs switch off and the routingapplication code is decompressed.
Duringthis process the B1 LED flashes in green and the console displaysboth the dots and the blocks
of the decompressed code.
Once the decompression process has terminated the application executes. The configuration, if found,
is read and the device prompt or an access login is displayed. At this point, if everythinghas gone
smoothly,the SLED is lit up in green. An example of what is displayed on the console can be found
in section 3.2.a.

3. Description of the equipment
The aspect of the equipment can be seen in the following figure. Here you can see both the front panel
and the various rear panels dependingon the version.
On the front panel, you can see the LEDs which display the status of the various interfaces and devices
that the Atlas250 router has.
Located on the rear panel is the power point, the AUX console connection (in DB-9 format) for local
configuration and monitoringand the microswitches. Fromthe communications point of view, you
will find the connection to the LAN (in RJ45 format) with the linkLED (in yellow), the ISDN
connection (in RJ24 format) with the TERM pushbutton controllingthe ISDN bus terminal resistance
and the WAN connectors (in DB-25 format). Finally,dependingon the version, you will find diverse
types of slots which permit access to the various expansion cards that can be situated in the interior of
the device; bydefault, these slots are protected by blind covers and once removed permit you to access
the distinct connectors supportingthe expansion cards.
Figure 9. Front and rear panels ofthe equipment
On the underside of the device you will see aflap that provides access to the serial line drivers. Here
you can select the operatingmode (DTE/DCE) and changefromone to the other dependingon the

3.2. Description of the microswitches
Inthe interior of the Atlas250 routers, you will find agroup of SW2 microswitches. These are
identified bythe numbers ‘1’ to ‘8’ as shown in the below figure. These activate test functions,
software loadingfunctions etc. Bydefault (manufacturer) all these microswitches are in the OFF
position. These should not be handled bythe user except in cases to reestablish the default
configuration as described below.
Figure 12. Location ofthe microswitches
To ensure correct operating procedures, all the microswitches must be in the OFF
position.
a) Procedure to ignore the configuration
This procedure is applied if you haveto discard the whole configuration of the device, for example, if
you cannot remember the password.
The procedure is as follows:
• Turn off the device through the ON/OFF switch.
• Usinga screwdriver or another sharp instrument, move microswitch ‘5’ to the ON position.
• Turn the device on with the ON/OFF switch.
When the device is switched on, amessagesimilar to the one shown below will appear on the

4. Appendices
4.1. Smart Card
The configuration is stored in acard in the device and is read each timethe device boots. This
configuration is generallystored in the device Flash memory.However, in somemodels, you can use
an external device in order to store the configuration: a Smart Card,which simplifies the transfer of
configurations fromone device to another. The information is compressed in order to takeadvantage
of the space available in the Smart Card.The choice of the activestoringmediumwhere you read the
configuration and where this is stored is carried out throughconsole commands. These commands can
be found in more detail in the “Dm704-IConfiguration and Monitoring” manual.
a) Description and insertion
The Smart Card is acard with an integrated circuit permittingyouto store and process information.
The available space is variable, however it can alwaysbe measured in Kilobytes. The external aspect
of the card is displayed in the followingfigure: on one side of the card you can see the integrated
circuit and on the other there is an arrow indicatingwhich wayto insert the card.
Figure 13. Aspect ofa SmartCard
Inthose models that havethis device, the Smart Card is inserted in the slot located on the front panel
of the equipment. The card should be placed in the slot so that the arrow is face up and the chip face
down. The card must be carefullyinserted followingthe arrow until a small clickis heard.
Figure 14. SmartCard insertion slot
Next to the insertion slot you can see aLED which indicates the card activity.This LED lights up in
green when it is readingor writingin the card and remains off when there is no activity.
• DO NOT extract or introduce the card when the activity LED is on. Contrariwise
data stored in the card may be lost.
b) Viewing the content
The content of the Smart Card maybe viewed fromeither the console or through FTP.

c) Write
Configurations can be stored in the Smart Card throughFTP and fromthe console. Writingthrough
FTP is carried out as described in the “Updatingthe software and the configurations” appendix of this
manual.
Fromthe console, you can use the ‘SAVE’ and ‘FILE COPY’ configuration process commands. The
‘SAVE’ command alwaysuses the activestoringunit. The ‘FILE COPY’ command permits you to
select aunit distinct to the activeone (in order to specificallyrefer to the Smart Card,you need to use
the unit identifier “S:” (s followingbyacolon). For further information please see manual “Dm704-I
Configuration and Monitoring”.
Choosingthe activeunit is executed throughthe ‘CONFIG-MEDIA’ configuration command. This
allows you to select the followingoptions:
• SMARTCARD-FLASH. Both mediumsare considered active; priorityhowever is given to
the Smart Card over the Flash memory.
• SMARTCARD. The Smart Card is considered as the onlyactive mediumor unit.
• FLASH. The Flash memoryis considered as the onlyactive mediumor unit.
Bydefault, the device has the value ‘SMARTCARD-FLASH’ configured in those devices that support
Smart Card and the ‘FLASH’ option for those devices which don’t. You can checkwhich unit is
active byusingthe ‘FILE LIST’ command.
As previouslyindicated in this appendix, the configuration in the Smart Card is stored in compressed
format. To indicate this, the files stored in the Smart Card havethe last letter of the extension
changed to “z”. Ifthe file you wish to store in the Smart Card does not haveanyextension a“.z”is
added. Anyfile saved in the Smart Card will berecorded in compressed format throughthe gzip
compression application.
Incases where the file recorded in the Smart Card is alreadysent in gzip compressed format, this will
not be compressed nor will the extension be modified. Files transferred via FTP fromthe Smart Card
to aPC will be transferred in exactlythe samewayas theywere stored in the Smart Card,i.e.
compressed. The compression format used can be decompressed with the majorityof decompression
applications available on the market includingWinZip. The ‘FILE COPY’ command however, should
the original file be a Smart Card file destined to be aFlash memoryfile, will copythe file in
decompressed format.
Additionallythere are commands to delete (‘FILE DELETE’ command) and to rename(‘FILE
RENAME’ command) files in astorageunit. For further information on these commands please see
manual “Dm704-IConfiguration and Monitoring”.
d) Access Mode
Under normal circumstances, the device on bootingor on savingthe configuration uses the storing
mediumwhich is configured as active.
When the device boots, the behavior, dependingon the active medium, is as follows:

ATLAS 250 – Installation Manual
16 Doc.DM698-I
Ver.2.0
• SMARTCARD-FLASH. The Smart Card configuration is read. Ifthe card is not present or
the file cannot be found, the operation is repeated in the Flash. Ifthe file is not found in the
Flash memorythen the device will boot with the default configuration.
After reading the Smart Card configuration file the device checksto see that this is written in
the Flash memory.Ifthe configuration is not present then the device enters it so that both
mediums are synchronized.
• SMARTCARD. The Smart Card configuration is read. Ifthe card is not present or the file
cannot be found, the device will boot with the default configuration.
• FLASH. The Flash configuration is read. Ifthe file cannot be found the device will boot
with the default configuration.
On savingthe configuration throughthe ‘SAVE’ command, the behavior, dependingon the active
media is as follows:
• SMARTCARD-FLASH. The configuration is saved in both the Smart Card and the
Flash. The console indicates the devices where the configuration has been stored and
through a warningtext will show the devices where recordinghas not been possible.
• SMARTCARD. The configuration is saved in the Smart Card.
• FLASH. The configuration is saved in the Flash memory.
Occasionally,you maywish to boot the Smart Card device independentlyof the activemedium
configured in the device and you maywant the Smart Card configuration to be automatically stored in
Flash. Inthis way,in subsequent device start-ups, this will boot with the configuration present in the
Smart Card even if the card has been extracted (this could be useful for example to update the
configuration in adevice pool where you need to start fromacommon base configuration). To do
this, use microswitch ‘5’ (default configuration microswitch) so that provided this is active(ON

independentlyof the configured active medium.
3. Incases where neither of the abovementioned files is found, the device will search the Smart
Card for anyconfiguration file (files with extension .cfz). Ifone is found, the device will boot
with this configuration markingit as the activeconfiguration file. Inthe samewayas the
abovecase, the configuration will NOT be copied in the Flash memory.This is configured as
“SMARTCARD-FLASH” independentlyof the configured active medium.
