Quidway AR 28 Series Routers are intended for use on enterprise-level networks, including seven models: AR 28-09, 28-10, 28-11, 28-30, 28-31, 28-40, and 28-80. Depending on the network size, Quidway AR 28 Series Routers can either be core routers on medium-and-small-sized enterprise networks, or access routers for network branches on some large-sized enterprise networks. Quidway AR 28 Series Routers adopt modular design and provide multiple MIMs (Multifunctional Interface Modules) and SICs (Smart Interface Cards). In addition, except for AR 28-09, they provide two host types: AC-powered and DC-powered. Therefore, Quidway AR 28 Series Routers are suitable for the application on the carrier-level networks, such as telecom management networks and billing networks. Quidway AR 28 Series Routers adopt high speed PowerPC microprocessor and the VRP (Versatile Routing Platform), a network operation system platform developed by Huawei Technologies. Besides the benefit of simple configuration, VRP provides rich network security features, and supports terminal access, SNA (Systems Network Architecture)/DLSw (Data-Link Switching), IP multicast, ATM, MPLS and abundant QoS (Quality of Service) features. Thereby, Quidway AR 28 Series Routers can operate together with other Quidway series routers and Ethernet switches to provide overall end-to-end network solutions for medium-and-large-sized enterprises. Quidway AR 28 Series Routers provide the following features:

Warning: The normal connection of the PGND wire is an important guard against the lightning and interference. Therefore, the user must first correctly connect the PGND wire before installing and using the device.
The power input end of Quidway AR 28 Series Router is connected to a noise filter. The neutral point of the noise filter is directly connected to the chassis and is called protection ground (PGND). The PGND wire must be well grounded, so as to safely conduct the faradism and leaky electricity to the earth ground, and thereby improve the capability of the whole device to guard against the electromagnetic interference. This PGND wire can also protect the router against the lightning caused by the connection with the external network lines, such as E1/T1 line, ISDN/PSTN line. The grounding screw of Quidway AR 28 Series Router, which is marked with grounding label, is located near the AC power socket and its switch on the rear pannel of the chassis, as shown in the following figure:
4-5
Use a PGND wire to connect the screw to the earth ground, and the grounding resistance should not be greater than 5-ohm. Likewise, if the router is installed in a 19-inch standard rack, this rack is required to be grounded too.
Caution: When the router is in normal operation, it is required to be well grounded. Otherwise, the router cannot reliably avoid lightning, which may damage the router itself and even the peer device.

Step 2: Connect the cable. Turn the power switch off, then connect the DB9 serial interface of the console cable to the PC,and connect the RJ45 interface to the console port of the router. After the connection and verification, power on the router. Normally, the startup information of the router will be displayed on the console terminal. For more details, refer to Chapter 5.
Note: Ethernet MDI (Media Dependent Interface) is the typical Ethernet interface on ordinary network cards. MDIX is crossover media-dependent interface, which is generally used on Hubs or LAN switches.
The Ethernet cables are classified into straight-through cable and crossover cable. They are introduced respectively as follows: The wire sequences of the twisted pair cable crimped by the RJ45 connectors at both ends of the cable are totally the same. It is used to connect the terminal equipment, such as PCs and routers to HUBs or LAN Switches. Straight-through cables are delivered along with the router. The wire sequences of the twisted pair wires crimped by the RJ45 connectors at both ends of the cable are different. It is used to connect the terminal equipment (such as PCs) to the terminal equipment (such as PCs). If needed, the user can make such cables by himself.
Caution: When making the cable, use the shielded cable to ensure EMC (Electromagnetic Compatibility).
Caution: Prior to connection, please identify the mark on the interface in order to plug correctly. While connecting the Ethernet cable to a LAN Switch, plug the cable into the 10/100BASE-T interface marked with MDIX.
Follow the steps below to connect the Ethernet cable (taking LAN0/1 as an example): Step1: While connecting the Router with a PC or a Router, please use the crossover cable, plug one end of the cable to an Ethernet interface of the Router, and plug another end to a PC or a Router. While connecting the Router with a Hub or a LAN Switch, please use the straight-through network cable, plug one end of the cable to an Ethernet interface of the Router, and plug another end to a HUB or LAN Switch. For the cable pinouts, please refer to Low-End and Mid-Range Series Routers Cable Manual. Step 2: Please check the LAN LED on front panel of the Router. ON means the link is connected.

Synchronous/Asynchronous serial interface can work in either synchronous or asynchronous mode. Different signaling standards are supported in these two modes. V.35 and V.24 (RS232) support synchronous operating mode, while V.24 (RS232), support the asynchronous operating mode. The maximum transmission distance and baud rate of the signal vary with the operating mode.

Synchronous serial interface can operate in both DTE and DCE mode. For two devices connected directly, one should operate in DTE mode, and the other should operate in DCE mode. The device at the DCE side provides a synchronous clock and specifies the transmission rate, while the device at the DTE side accepts the synchronous clock and communicates at the specified baud rate. Usually, the router serves as a DTE device. To determine whether the device connected to the router is a DTE or DCE, please refer to the manual that came with the device. Also the following table will be helpful in identifying DTE and DCE. Usually, the PC or Router serves as a DTE device and the Modem, Multiplexer or CSU/DSU serves as a DCE device. In general, the asynchronous serial interface is connected to an external Modem or a Terminal Adapter (TA) to work as the dial-up interface. In this case, it is unnecessary to determine whether the device is DTE or DCE, and just choose an appropriate baud rate. For the operating mode configuration of the synchronous/asynchronous serial interface, please refer to VRP3 Operation Manual.
Caution: The above 4 types of cables are optional. The user must purchase the needed cables along with the router. Otherwise, they will not be provided.
The following figures show the cable assembly of all 4 types: V.24 (RS232) DTE cable assembly

Caution: Do not hot swap the synchronous/asynchronous cable. Otherwise, the router or the connected remote equipment may be impaired.
Follow the steps below to connect the synchronous/asynchronous cable (taking the connection from WAN to DSU/CSU as an example): Step 1: Check that a proper synchronous/asynchronous cable is shipped with the router. Step 2: Plug the DB50 connector of the cable into the interface WAN on the router. Step 3: Connect the other end of the cable to the CSU/DSU device. (If the WAN adopts dial-up line, connect the cable to the serial interface of the analog Modem.
Caution: The check after installation is very important. The stability, grounding of the router and power supply will directly affect the operation of the router.

In VRP3.3, interfaces are numbered with the two-dimension approach, following the rules listed below: Interface number is represented in the form of interface X/Y, with interface indicating the interface type, which can be serial, asynchronous, Ethernet, or any other type, X indicating the slot number, and Y the interface sequence number. As shown in the above figure, the interfaces on the same interface module have the same slot number (X). The interfaces of each type are numbered starting at 0. These interfaces are numbered according to the sequence numbers on the interface module, from left to right. Suppose a 2SA module and a 2S1B module are respectively installed in SLOT0 and SLOT1 on AR 28-80. The serial interfaces will be sequenced as follows: The serial interfaces on the 2SA module are respectively numbered Serial 0/0 and Serial 0/1. The serial interfaces on the 2S1B module are respectively numbered Serial 1/0, and Serial 1/1. Each interface can be configured in a particular view. For more information about interface configuration, refer to VRP3 Operation Manual.

Routers with Flash over 8 MB provide dual image function. That is, the system defines three application files for booting the router by default: main application file, backup application file, and secure application file. If you have downloaded these three application files in Flash, the system will select one in sequence to boot the router. If you wish to change the sequence or the boot file, you can make modification in the Boot ROM menu. The default names, types, and select sequence of main, backup, and secure application files are described as follows: Main application file: default name main.bin, file type M. By default, the system utilizes this file to boot the router. Backup application file: default name backup.bin, file type B. The system utilizes this file to boot the router if the main file fails. Secure application file: default name secure.bin, file type S. The system utilizes it to boot the router if the backup file fails. The system prompts booting failure if the secure application file fails.
Note: Only the application files of M, B, and S types can be used to boot the system. Applications of N/A type, that is, non M, B, or S type, cannot be used to boot the system. The file names of the applications in Flash can be modified using commands after they are started. Refer to System Management for detailed commands. The file types of M, B, and N/A applications can be modified in Boot ROM menu, or by commands after the applications are started. The applications of S type do not allow modification in file type. Secure application file is the last precaution against system booting failure; therefore, it does not allow modification or adaptation from other files. You can only download it from Boot ROM and specify its name as secure.bin. If you use the rename command to change the secure file name after the system is booted, the file is removed from Flash and you need to download it again. Only one M file, one B file, and one S file can exist in Flash. For example, if a file is both M file and B file, it is impossible to have another M file or B file in Flash. If the file type of another file is changed to B, the file of both M and B must be changed to M file.
The following menu is displayed if you select 3 in the Boot ROM menu. Suppose four application files are stored in Flash, and their types are as shown below:
M=MAIN B=BACKUP S=SECURE

The system enters the following menu if you select 3, on which you can change the file type of a.bin.
Set this file as: 1. 2. 3. Main Backup Exit 1
If you select 1, a.bin will be specified as the main file. When the modification is validated, the type of the original main file is changed to N/A. In this case, the system will choose a.bin first to boot the router. 4) Display the existing applications and their types in Flash.
The following information is displayed if you select 4 in Boot ROM menu (suppose that the above modification is validated).

Please verify whether the terminal (e.g., the HyperTerminal) parameter settings are as follows: Baud rate: 9600, Data bits: 8, Stop bit: 1, Parity: None, Flow control: None and Terminal emulation: VT100 If the parameter settings differ from the above values, please reconfigure.
After the POST of the router, despite the normal power system (the POWER LED is ON) and proper connection of the console cable, there is no display on the console terminal. 2) Troubleshooting
If the user is sure that the power system and configuration system have no faults, please contact the agent of Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd. With his consent, open the chassis to check whether the SDRAM has become loose. If that is the case, you may remove and reinstall the SDRAM. For the operation method, please refer to Section 6.2 Maintaining the Hardware in this manual.
Fault 1: After the information Now testing memory... appears, the system restarts repeatedly. Fault 2: After displaying the information System now is Starting ..., the system restarts repeatedly, and sometimes gives a prompt message Copied program error. 2) Troubleshooting
Generally, such faults are caused by the damage to SDRAM. If the SDRAM is seriously damaged, the problem will be found while testing the memory, and the system will reboot. If the SDRAM is slightly damaged, the problem will be found during the process of system starting, and the system will reboot, giving the prompt message Copied program error.

The user can decide whether the SDRAM has fault by checking the LED status of the router. During the routers POST, the SLOT0 to 2 LEDs and SERIAL0 LED will be ON first. In this case, if the SLOT0 and SLOT1 LEDs light, it can be concluded that the SDRAM test has failed. If the SDRAM is damaged, replace it with a new one (before opening the chassis, please contact the agent of Huawei Technologies Co, Ltd. and get his permission to continue with the operation). For the operation method, please refer to Section 6.2 Maintain the Hardware in this manual.
When upgrading the VRP software using the TFTP approach, the system displays the following message:
Loading... tftpGet: Error occurred while transferring the file. An Error Occurred!:tftp transfer failed: error 0x43 download error!!! Something is wrong. Please check.
2)
Troubleshooting
The symptom described above means that the new software version has not been loaded. Fault isolation can be carried out from three aspects: Check the TFTP server to see whether information can be sent. If not, the problem is likely to result from an incorrectly-configured TFTP server IP address. In this case, make sure that IP address of the TFTP server is the IP address of the network interface on the PC, to which the Ethernet interface is connected. (For the procedure of selecting an Ethernet interface for TFTP upgrade on AR 28 Routers, refer to 6.1.4.) Run the winipcfg command and the system will prompt the IP address of the Ethernet interface. If Windows prompts The system detected conflict between the IP address xxxx and the system hardware address xxxx in this case, it is very likely that the IP address of the TFTP server was incorrectly assigned to the upgrading Ethernet interface on the Router. Check the TFTP server. If it prompts The system cannot find the specified file, , check whether the path set on the TFTP server and the file name (including the extension) of the application software set on the Router are correct. Upgrade the application software again after the problem is solved.

II. Fault 2
1) Fault
When upgrading the VRP software using the TFTP approach, and the system displays the following message:
Loading... NET download completed... read len = [05567609]
The downloaded software is not a valid version. Please download the correct version. Press <Enter> key when ready.
2)
Troubleshooting
AR 28 Series Routers should be loaded with different application software versions. The problem described above is likely to result from a mismatch between the application software version and the router model. In this case, contact your agent to obtain the correct software version and upgrade it again. If the improper software has been loaded, the Router cannot start or work correctly. In this case, select Xmodem or TFTP mode in the boot menu to restore/upgrade the software version (FTP upgrade mode cannot be used here). If similar symptoms present when upgrading the software with other approaches, solve the problem with reference to this example.
Note: The bar code labeled on the Router host and the MIM contains the relevant manufacturing and maintenance information. If you want to repair the device, inform your agent of the bar code on the problem device.
