Telephone Wire Requirements

The telephone circuits recommended for the DeltaFire are commonly known as Dry Line, Dry Pair, Raw

Copper Line, or Alarm Circuit. Now, it is often referred as DSL Line or ADSL Line.

When ordering a DSL line from a Telco, make sure to tell the telephone company that you need a line

with no load coils or bridge taps on it. For example, Pacific Bell’s Local Area Data Channels (LADC) use

USOC code to specify a 2-wire dry line as “T6E2D”.

NOTE:

The term “non-loaded” or “non-loaded coils” means no passive lowpass filter for voice spectrum on the

line. With a lowpass filter, the loop is used for voice signal only, the high frequency spectrum of signals

(above 4Khz) will be filtered out, and the loop cannot be used for xDSL signal transmission.

To have the dry line from a Telco, the loaded coils in the Telco’s Central Office and bridge taps at punch

down blocks MUST BE REMOVED from the subscribed line.

SYSTEM MANAGEMENT

Accessing System

Access to the System Management Main Menu can be gained either through a Console Port or LAN Port

(Telnet):

• CONSOLE PORT – The console port is located on the Controller Card of the DeltaFire. Console

connection is through an RS-232 DB-9 male cable to the terminal/computer’s serial COM 1 or COM

2 port. Users may choose to use any terminal emulation software (PROCOMM Plus is

recommended).

COM Port Configuration for direct connection to Console Port:

Terminal Emulation: VT-100

Speed : 9600, 14,400, 19,200, 28,800, 38,400, 57,600 or 115,200

Data Bit : 8

Parity Bit : None

Stop Bit : 1

• TELNET – Once the IP Address is assigned to the DeltaFire device, users can telnet to the DeltaFire

device for system configuration. An appropriate IP address for the user’s network must be configured

by a console terminal before the telnet command can be used.

under SUPPORT. Enter the following command at a PC DOS prompt (if you use tftp DOS Version) or at

your normal tftp environment: (the firmware file should be in the current directory):

tftp -i [DeltaFire’s IP Address] put [download_filename]

SNMP Support

The DeltaFire devices support the industry-standard Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP).

This protocol allows users running popular network management software (such as HP’s OpenView and

Castle Rock’s SNMPc) to manage and monitor the DeltaFire devices. The section below describes how to

configure your DeltaFire devices to support SNMP.

Note: This document assumes you know how to use SNMP network management software and how to

configure hosts and set up communities under SNMP. For information about SNMP, you can consult

some reference information about this subject. Below is information about a few good reference books

about SNMP:

SNMP, SNMPv2, and RMON, written by Williams Stallings, published by Addison Wesley

Understanding SNMP MIBs, written by David Perkins and Evan McGinnis, published by Prentice

Hall

Managing Internetworks with SNMP, written by Mark A. Miller, published by M&T books

Installing the DeltaFire Software MIB Files

To use your SNMP management software to access a DeltaFire device, you must first install the two

Management Information Bases (MIB) files that come with the DeltaFire software: wailan.mib and

df500.mib. The steps for installing MIB files depend on the SNMP management program you are using,

so you should check the documentation that came with your SNMP management software for instructions on how to

install MIBs. Below is some information describing how you can get the latest MIB files and how to install them:

• In an effort to continually improve our products, WaiLAN will update the DELTAFIRE MIB files

and post the updated MIB files on the WaiLAN Web site (www.wailan.com). Check the Web site to

see if any new MIBs are available. (Use a text editor to open the MIB files and check the release

history information in each MIB file’s header to see if you have the latest MIB files.) If new MIBs are

available, you should download them from the WaiLAN Web site and install the new MIBs in your

SNMP management software.

• After you install the MIB files in your SNMP management software, make sure you re-compile the

MIB files using your SNMP management software. Make sure you compile the wailan.mib first, then

the df500.mib.

SNMP Configuration

Before you can use SNMP management software to monitor and manage a DeltaFire device, you must

first use the DeltaFire software console user interface to configure certain SNMP information.

Note: You must configure SNMP support separately for the DeltaFire and AGATE devices because they

are independently managed SNMP devices. To access the screen used to configure SNMP information, select

the SNMP Configuration option from the Main Menu. If prompted, enter your password. The SNMP

Status/Configuration screen appears.

The SNMP Configuration screen consists of one option and three tables:

3. Press the <Enter> key. The cursor moves to the first field in the current table. Press the <Up/Down> arrow keys to

move the cursor up or down a row; press the <Left/Right> arrow keys to move the cursor to the column to the left or

right (note that you cannot change the Read setting, so the cursor always skips the Read fields).

4. If you are in a field that requires you to enter or edit information (see the above list of fields in which you can

enter/edit information). Press the<Left/Right> arrow keys to move the cursor to the left and right in the current field.

Press the <Backspace> key to delete characters in the field. Type the information (IP addresses for the IP fields, text

for the other fields).

5. Press the arrow keys to move the cursor up, down, left, or right to the next field you want to edit.

6. Press the <Esc> key when you are finished editing information in the current table.

Deleting a Row

To delete a row of information:

1. Position the cursor in the row you want to delete.

2. Type <Ctrl-d>. A prompt appears to confirm you want to proceed. Press the <Enter> key to delete the

current row; press the <Esc> key to cancel the deletion.

Adding a Row

You can add up to 8 rows of entries to the Communities, SNMP Management Hosts, and Trap

Destinations tables.

To add a row for a new entry:

1. Position the cursor in the table where you want the new row to appear.

2. A new row is added to the table. Follow the editing instructions in the “Selecting

Settings for SNMP Options” section to modify the information in the new row.

Saving Changes

After you make any changes to the contents of the SNMP Status/Configuration screen, you need to save

your changes. If you don’t save your changes and exit from the DeltaFire software, your changes will be

discarded.

To save changes, type <Ctrl-s>. A prompt appears to confirm you want to proceed. Press the <Enter> key

to save the changes; press the <Esc> key to cancel the save.

Limit Access to SNMP Hosts Option

This option controls whether or not your DeltaFire device only allows the hosts defined in the SNMP

Management Hosts table to access the device. When this option is turned off (N), the DeltaFire device

allows all the members of the communities defined in the Communities table to access the device. When this option

is turned on (Y), only the hosts defined in the SNMP Management Hosts table are allowed to access the device. See

the “Specifying Who Can Access the Device” section on page 43 for information about the SNMP Management

Hosts table.

DeltaFire 500 User’s Guide

Defining Communities Information

You need to define the communities to which the DeltaFire device belongs. You can assign the device to

up to 12 communities. The community information determines which hosts on the network are allowed to

do the following:

• Read the device’s configuration information

• Modify (write) the configuration

Note: Be careful when you define community information. You must enter the community names exactly

as they are defined in your SNMP management software or your management software will not be able to

recognize the device. Community names are case-sensitive.

After you assign the device to the communities you want, assign the permissions you want for members

of each community. You assign permission by selecting Yes (Y) or No (N) for each permission.

Y = allow members of the community to do this

N = don’t allow members of the community to do this

The list below defines the available access options:

Read = allow (Y)/disallow (N) members of the community to read the device’s configuration.

The Read option is automatically turned on for all the communities to which you assign the device. You

cannot change this setting. However, if the Limit Access to SNMP Hosts option is turned on, only hosts

you designate in the SNMP Management Hosts table will be allowed to read the device’s configuration

(see the “Specifying Who Can Access the Device” section below for information). Write = allow

(Y)/disallow (N) members of the community to modify the device’s configuration. You can designate the

members of the community you want to be able to access the device in the SNMP Management Hosts

table.

Specifying Who Can Access the Device

You can specify the hosts on the network that will be allowed to access the device. You use the SNMP

Management Hosts table to do this. This feature adds an additional level of security to the device. Note: If

the Limit Access to SNMP Hosts option is turned on, only the hosts you specify will be allowed to access

the DeltaFire device. (If the Limit Access to SNMP Hosts option is turned off, all members of the

communities you assigned to the DeltaFire device will be allowed to access the device, contingent on the

permissions you assigned to each community. See the “Defining Communities Information” section

above for more information.)

The hosts you specify must belong to the communities in the Communities table. Also, the permissions

you defined in the Communities table apply to the hosts you specify. For example, suppose you assign the

DeltaFire device to a community named “public” and a community named “netman”. You assign write permission to

members of the public community but not to the netman community. Also, suppose you set up the following two

hosts in the SNMP Management Hosts table: Jupiter and Saturn. Jupiter belongs to the public community and Saturn

belongs to the netman community. Jupiter, as a member of the public

community, which has write permission, will be able to modify the device’s configuration. Saturn, as a

member of the netman community, which doesn’t have write permission, will only be able to read the

device’s configuration, but not modify (write) it.

You can designate up to 12 hosts in the SNMP Management Hosts table. You must define the following

correct information about each host you want to access the DeltaFire device:

• Host name

• Community name (the community to which the host belongs)

• IP address

DeltaFire 500 User’s Guide

SNMP Features Supported

The main features of the DeltaFire devices’ SNMP support are as follows:

• Supports standard MIB-II MIBs, as defined in RFC 1213.

• Supports two WaiLAN private MIBs: wailan.mib and df500.mib.
