ATTENTION: The laser beam may be invisible!
In some cases, the users may insert their own SFP laser transceivers into the product. Users are
alerted that RAD cannot be held responsible for any damage that may result if non-compliant
transceivers are used. In particular, users are warned to use only agency approved products that
comply with the local laser safety regulations for Class 1 laser products.
Always observe standard safety precautions during installation, operation and maintenance of
this product. Only qualified and authorized service personnel should carry out adjustment,
maintenance or repairs to this product. No installation, adjustment, maintenance or repairs
should be performed by either the operator or the user.
Handling Energized Products

General Safety Practices
Do not touch or tamper with the power supply when the power cord is connected. Line voltages
may be present inside certain products even when the power switch (if installed) is in the OFF
position or a fuse is blown. For DC-powered products, although the voltages levels are usually
not hazardous, energy hazards may still exist.
Before working on equipment connected to power lines or telecommunication lines, remove
jewelry or any other metallic object that may come into contact with energized parts.
Unless otherwise specified, all products are intended to be grounded during normal use.
Grounding is provided by connecting the mains plug to a wall socket with a protective ground
terminal. If a ground lug is provided on the product, it should be connected to the protective
ground at all times, by a wire with a diameter of 18 AWG or wider. Rack-mounted equipment
should be mounted only in grounded racks and cabinets.
Always make the ground connection first and disconnect it last. Do not connect
telecommunication cables to ungrounded equipment. Make sure that all other cables are
disconnected before disconnecting the ground.
Some products may have panels secured by thumbscrews with a slotted head. These panels may
cover hazardous circuits or parts, such as power supplies. These thumbscrews should therefore
always be tightened securely with a screwdriver after both initial installation and subsequent
access to the panels.
Connecting AC Mains
Make sure that the electrical installation complies with local codes.
Always connect the AC plug to a wall socket with a protective ground.
The maximum permissible current capability of the branch distribution circuit that supplies power
to the product is 16A (20A for USA and Canada). The circuit breaker in the building installation
should have high breaking capacity and must operate at short-circuit current exceeding 35A (40A
for USA and Canada).
Always connect the power cord first to the equipment and then to the wall socket. If a power
switch is provided in the equipment, set it to the OFF position. If the power cord cannot be
readily disconnected in case of emergency, make sure that a readily accessible circuit breaker or
emergency switch is installed in the building installation.
In cases when the power distribution system is IT type, the switch must disconnect both poles
simultaneously.
Connecting DC Power
Unless otherwise specified in the manual, the DC input to the equipment is floating in reference
to the ground. Any single pole can be externally grounded.
Due to the high current capability of DC power systems, care should be taken when connecting
the DC supply to avoid short-circuits and fire hazards.
Make sure that the DC power supply is electrically isolated from any AC source and that the
installation complies with the local codes.
The maximum permissible current capability of the branch distribution circuit that supplies power
to the product is 16A (20A for USA and Canada). The circuit breaker in the building installation
should have high breaking capacity and must operate at short-circuit current exceeding 35A (40A
for USA and Canada).
Before connecting the DC supply wires, ensure that power is removed from the DC circuit. Locate
the circuit breaker of the panel board that services the equipment and switch it to the OFF
position. When connecting the DC supply wires, first connect the ground wire to the
corresponding terminal, then the positive pole and last the negative pole. Switch the circuit
breaker back to the ON position.
A readily accessible disconnect device that is suitably rated and approved should be incorporated
in the building installation.
If the DC power supply is floating, the switch must disconnect both poles simultaneously.
Connecting Data and Telecommunications Cables

Data and telecommunication interfaces are classified according to their safety status.
The following table lists the status of several standard interfaces. If the status of a given port
differs from the standard one, a notice will be given in the manual.

TNV-1 Telecommunication Network Voltage-1:

Ports whose normal operating voltage is within the
limits of SELV, on which overvoltages from
telecommunications networks are possible.
FXS (Foreign Exchange Subscriber)

Ports whose normal operating voltage exceeds the
limits of SELV (usually up to 120 VDC or telephone
ringing voltages), on which overvoltages from
telecommunication networks are not possible. These
ports are not permitted to be directly connected to
external telephone and data lines.
FXO (Foreign Exchange Office), xDSL

(with feeding voltage), U-Interface
ISDN

Ports whose normal operating voltage exceeds the
limits of SELV (usually up to 120 VDC or telephone
ringing voltages), on which overvoltages from
telecommunication networks are possible.
Safety Extra Low Voltage:

Ports which do not present a safety hazard. Usually
up to 30 VAC or 60 VDC.
Always connect a given port to a port of the same safety status. If in doubt, seek the assistance
of a qualified safety engineer.
Always make sure that the equipment is grounded before connecting telecommunication cables.
Do not disconnect the ground connection before disconnecting all telecommunications cables.
Some SELV and non-SELV circuits use the same connectors. Use caution when connecting cables.
Extra caution should be exercised during thunderstorms.
When using shielded or coaxial cables, verify that there is a good ground connection at both
ends. The grounding and bonding of the ground connections should comply with the local codes.
The telecommunication wiring in the building may be damaged or present a fire hazard in case of
contact between exposed external wires and the AC power lines. In order to reduce the risk,
there are restrictions on the diameter of wires in the telecom cables, between the equipment
and the mating connectors.
Caution
To reduce the risk of fire, use only No. 26 AWG or larger telecommunication line
cords.
Attention
Pour rduire les risques sincendie, utiliser seulement des conducteurs de

tlcommunications 26 AWG ou de section suprieure.
Some ports are suitable for connection to intra-building or non-exposed wiring or cabling only. In
such cases, a notice will be given in the installation instructions.
Do not attempt to tamper with any carrier-provided equipment or connection hardware.
Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC)

The equipment is designed and approved to comply with the electromagnetic regulations of
major regulatory bodies. The following instructions may enhance the performance of the
equipment and will provide better protection against excessive emission and better immunity
against disturbances.
A good ground connection is essential. When installing the equipment in a rack, make sure to
remove all traces of paint from the mounting points. Use suitable lock-washers and torque. If an
external grounding lug is provided, connect it to the ground bus using braided wire as short as
possible.
The equipment is designed to comply with EMC requirements when connecting it with unshielded
twisted pair (UTP) cables. However, the use of shielded wires is always recommended, especially
for high-rate data. In some cases, when unshielded wires are used, ferrite cores should be
installed on certain cables. In such cases, special instructions are provided in the manual.
Disconnect all wires which are not in permanent use, such as cables used for one-time
configuration.
The compliance of the equipment with the regulations for conducted emission on the data lines
is dependent on the cable quality. The emission is tested for UTP with 80 dB longitudinal
conversion loss (LCL).
Unless otherwise specified or described in the manual, TNV-1 and TNV-3 ports provide secondary
protection against surges on the data lines. Primary protectors should be provided in the building
installation.
The equipment is designed to provide adequate protection against electro-static discharge (ESD).
However, it is good working practice to use caution when connecting cables terminated with
plastic connectors (without a grounded metal hood, such as flat cables) to sensitive data lines.
Before connecting such cables, discharge yourself by touching ground or wear an ESD preventive
wrist strap.

followed by stop bits.
AWG
The American Wire Gauge System, which specifies wire width.
Balanced
A transmission line in which voltages on the two conductors are

equal in magnitude, but opposite in polarity, with respect to
ground.
Bandwidth
The range of frequencies passing through a given circuit. The

greater the bandwidth, the more information can be sent through
the circuit in a given amount of time.
Baud
Unit of signaling speed equivalent to the number of discrete

conditions or events per second. If each signal event represents
only one bit condition, baud rate equals bps (bits per second).
Bit

either a one or zero (1 or 0).
bps (Bits Per Second)
A measure of data transmission rate in serial transmission.
Bridge
A device interconnecting local area networks at the OSI data link

layer, filtering and forwarding frames according to media access
control (MAC) addresses.
Bridging
Bridging is the forwarding of traffic between network segments

based on data link layer information. These segments have a
common network layer address.
Broadcast
Broadcast is a transmission to multiple, unspecified recipients. On

an Ethernet network, a broadcast packet is a special type of
multicast packet which all nodes on the network are always willing
to receive.
Buffer
A storage device. Commonly used to compensate for differences

in data rates or event timing when transmitting from one device to
another. Also used to remove jitter.
Bus
A transmission path or channel. A bus is typically an electrical

connection with one or more conductors, where all attached
devices receive all transmissions at the same time.
Byte
A group of bits (normally 8 bits in length).
Carrier
A continuous signal at a fixed frequency that is capable of being

modulated with a second (information carrying) signal.
Channel
A path for electrical transmission between two or more points.

Also called a link, line, circuit or facility.
CHAP
The Challenge Handshake Authentication Protocol CHAP is an

authentication protocol used by Point to Point Protocol (PPP)
servers to validate the identity of remote clients. CHAP periodically
verifies the identity of the client by using a three-way handshake
based on a shared secret (client users password).
Clock
A term for the source(s) of timing signals used in synchronous

transmission.
Compression
Any of several techniques that reduce the number of bits required

to represent information in data transmission or storage, thereby
conserving bandwidth and/or memory.
Congestion
A state in which the network is overloaded and starts to discard

user data (frames, cells or packets).
Congestion Control
A resource and traffic management mechanism to avoid and/or

prevent excessive situations (buffer overflow, insufficient
bandwidth) that can cause the network to collapse. In ATM
networks, congestion control schemes may be based on fields
within the ATM cell header (CLP, EFCI within the PTI) or may be
based on a more sophisticated mechanism between the ATM endsystem and ATM switches. The ATM Forum has developed a
mechanism based on rate control for ABR-type traffic. In Frame
Relay networks, congestion is handled by the FECN, BECN and DE
bits.
Data
Information represented in digital form, including voice, text,

facsimile and video.
Data Link Layer
Layer 2 of the OSI model. The entity, which establishes, maintains,

and releases data-link connections between elements in a
network. Layer 2 is concerned with the transmission of units of
information, or frames, and associated error checking.

operating at 34 Mbps.
Encapsulation
Encapsulating data is a technique used by layered protocols in

which a low level protocol accepts a message from a higher level
protocol, then places it in the data portion of the lower-level
frame. The logistics of encapsulation require that packets traveling
over a physical network contain a sequence of headers.
Ethernet
A local area network (LAN) technology which has extended into

the wide area networks. Ethernet operates at many speeds,
including data rates of 10 Mbps (Ethernet), 100 Mbps (Fast
Ethernet), 1,000 Mbps (Gigabit Ethernet), 10 Gbps, 40 Gbps, and
100 Gbps.
Firewall
A firewall system controls access to or from a protected network

(i.e., a site). It implements a network access policy by forcing
connections to pass through the firewall, where they can be
examined and evaluated.
Frame
A logical grouping of information sent as a link-layer unit over a

transmission medium. The terms packet, datagram, segment, and
message are also used to describe logical information groupings.
Frame Relay
An efficient packet switching technology providing high speed

frame or packet transmission with minimum delay and efficient
bandwidth utilization over virtual circuits. The link layer handles
much of the network layer functionality. It has less protocol
overhead than X.25.

Also known as an Internet address. A unique string of numbers

that identifies a computer or device on a TCP/IP network. The
format of an IP address is a 32-bit numeric address written as four
numbers from 0 to 255, separated by periods (for example,
1.0.255.123).
IP Mask
he IP mask is a unique 4 byte (32 bit) value that allow the

recipient of IP packets to distinguish between different host IDs.
IP/IPX Routing
IP/IPX Routing is the process, performed by a router, of selecting

the correct interface and next hop for a packet being forwarded.

of the actual data transfer. Network latency is the delay
introduced when a packet is momentarily stored, analyzed and
then forwarded.
Leased Lines
A leased line is a private telephone circuit permanently connecting

two points, normally provided on a lease by a local PTT.
Loading
The addition of inductance to a line in order to minimize amplitude

distortion. Used commonly on public telephone lines to improve
voice quality, it can make the lines impassable to high speed data,
and baseband modems.
Loopback
A type of diagnostic test in which the transmitted signal is

returned to the sending device after passing through all or part of
a communications link or network.
MAC (Media Access

Control)
MAC is the lower sublayer of the data link layer. MAC is the
interface between a node's Logical Link Control and the network's
physical layer. The MAC differs for various physical media.
MAC Address
The MAC Address is the hardware address of a device connected

to a shared network medium.
Manager
An application that receives Simple Network Management Protocol

(SNMP) information from an agent. An agent and manager share a
database of information, called the Management Information Base
(MIB). An agent can use a message called a traps-PDU to send
unsolicited information to the manager. A manager that uses the
RADview MIB can query the RAD device, set parameters, sound
alarms when certain conditions appear, and perform other
administrative tasks.
Mask
A mask is a filtering aid that is used to define classes of

addresses. By defining classes, any packet can be judged as to
whether it should pass the filter or not.
MTU (Maximum
Transmit Unit)
The Maximum Transmission Unit is the largest frame length which

may be sent on a physical medium.
MultiCast
MultiCast is an Ethernet addressing scheme used to send packets

to devices of a certain type or for broadcasting to all nodes.
Multiplexer
At one end of a communications link, a device that combines

several lower speed transmission channels into a single high speed
channel. A multiplexer at the other end reverses the process.
Sometimes called a mux. See Bit Interleaving/Multiplexing.
Network
(1) An interconnected group of nodes. (2) A series of points,

nodes, or stations connected by communications channels; the
collection of equipment through which connections are made
between data stations.
Network Layer
A layer in the OSI reference model. The network layer provides

address resolution and routing protocols. Address resolution
enables the network layer to determine a unique network address
for a node. Routing protocols allow data to flow between
networks and reach their proper destination. Examples of network
layer protocols are Address Resolution Protocol (ARP), Datagram
Delivery Protocol (DDP), Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP),
Interior Gateway Protocol (IGP), Internet Protocol (IP),
Internetwork Packet Exchange (IPX) and Packet Layer Protocol
(PLP).
NetBEUI (NetBIOS
Extended User
Interface)
NetBEUI is the network transport protocol used by all of Microsoft

network systems and IBM LAN Server based systems.
NCP (NetWare Core

Protocol)
NCP is a Novell trademark for the protocol used to access Novell

NetWare file and print service functions. NCP uses an underlying
IPX or IP transport protocol.
Parity
Parity is an extra bit added to a byte or word to reveal errors in

storage (in RAM or disk) or transmission. Even/odd parity means
that the parity bit is set so that there are an even/odd number of
one bits in the word, including the parity bit. Odd parity means
that the parity bit is set so that there are an odd number of one
bits in the word, including the parity bit.
Node
A point of interconnection to a network.
Packet
An ordered group of data and control signals transmitted through

a network, as a subset of a larger message.
Packet Switching
A data transmission technique, which divides user information into

discrete data envelopes called packets, and sends the information
packet by packet.
PAP
The Password Authentication Protocol is a simple authentication

protocol used by a point to point protocol (PPP) to authenticate
users to a network server. This protocol transmits unencrypted
ASCII messages over the network and is considered unsecure. It is
used if the server does not support a stronger protocol such as
CHAP.
parameters
Parameters are often called arguments, and the two words are
used interchangeably. However, some computer languages such as
C define argument to mean actual parameter (i.e., the value), and
parameter to mean formal parameter. In RAD CLI, parameter
means formal parameter, not value.
Polling
See Multidrop.
Port
The physical interface to a computer or multiplexer, for connection

of terminals and modems.
PPP (Point to Point

Protocol)
PPP is the protocol defined in RFC 1661, the Internet standard for
transmitting network layer datagrams (e.g. IP packets) over serial
point-to-point links.
PPP is designed to operate both over asynchronous connections
and bit-oriented synchronous systems, it can configure
connections to a remote network dynamically, and test that the
link is usable. PPP can be configured to encapsulate different
network layer protocols (such as IP, IPX, or AppleTalk) by using the
appropriate network.
prompt
One or more characters in a command line interface to indicate

that the computer is ready to accept typed input.
Protocol
A formal set of conventions governing the formatting and relative

timing of message exchange between two communicating
systems.
PSTN (Public Switched

Telephone Network)
PSTN is the collection of interconnected systems operated by the

various telephone companies and administrations (PTTs) around
the world.
RFC (Request for

Comment)
RFC is a numbered Internet informational documents and

standards widely followed by commercial software and freeware in
the Internet and UNIX communities.
RIP (Routing
Information Protocol)
RIP is the companion protocol to IPX for exchange of routing

information in a Novell network. It is not related to the Internet
protocol of the same name.
RIP-2
Routing information protocol used to discover agents and the

routes that IP packets must traverse. This is done automatically
using periodic broadcasts. RIP-2 also supports IP subnets.
Router
An interconnection device that connects individual LANs. Unlike

bridges, which logically connect at OSI Layer 2, routers provide
logical paths at OSI Layer 3. Like bridges, remote sites can be
connected using routers over dedicated or switched lines to create
WANs.
Routing
The process of selecting the most efficient circuit path for a

message.
SAP
SAP is the OSI term for the component of a network address

which identifies the individual application on a host which is
sending or receiving a packet.
Serial Transmission
A common mode of transmission, where the character bits are

sent sequentially one at a time instead of in parallel.
Single Mode
Describing an optical wave-guide or fiber that is designed to

propagate light of only a single wavelength (typically 5-10 microns
in diameter).
SLIP (Serial Line Internet

Protocol)
SLIP is software allowing the IP, normally used on Ethernet, to be

used over a serial line, e.g. an RS-232 serial port connected to a
modem. It is defined in RFC 1055.
SNMP (Simple Network

Management Protocol)
SNMP is the Internet standard protocol, defined in STD 15, RFC

1157, developed to manage nodes on an IP network.
SOCKS
SOCKS is a security package that allows a host behind a firewall to

use finger, FTP, Telnet, Gopher, and Mosaic to access resources
outside the firewall while maintaining the security requirements.
Space
In telecommunications, the absence of a signal. Equivalent to a

binary 0.
Spoofing
Spoofing is a technique used to reduce network overhead,

especially in wide area networks (WAN). Some network protocols
send frequent packets for management purposes. These can be
routing updates or keep-alive messages. In a WAN this can
introduce significant overhead, due to the typically smaller
bandwidth of WAN connections.
Spoofing reduces the required bandwidth by having devices, such
as bridges or routers, answer for the remote devices. This fools
(spoofs) the LAN device into thinking the remote LAN is still
connected, even though it's not. The spoofing saves the WAN
bandwidth, because no packet is ever sent out on the WAN.
SPX (Sequenced Packet

Exchange)
SPX is a transport layer protocol built on top of IPX. SPX is used in

Novell NetWare systems for communications in client/server
application programs, e.g. BTRIEVE (ISAM manager).
Static Station
A static station is a host which is added manually to an ARP or LAN

table.
Stop Bit
Stop Bits mark the end of a unit of transmission (normally a byte

or character). In serial communications, where each bit of the
message is transmitted in sequence, stop bits are extra "1" bits
which follow the data and any parity bit.
Synchronous
Transmission
Transmission in which data bits are sent at a fixed rate, with the
transmitter and receiver synchronized.
T1
A digital transmission link with a capacity of 1.544 Mbps used in

North America. Typically channelized into 24 DS0s, each capable of
carrying a single voice conversation or data stream. Uses two pairs
of twisted pair wires.
TCP (Transmission
Control Protocol)
TCP is the most common transport layer protocol used on Ethernet

and the Internet.
TCP is built on top of Internet Protocol (IP) and is nearly always

seen in the combination TCP/IP (TCP over IP). It adds reliable
communication, flow-control, multiplexing and connectionoriented communication. It provides full-duplex, process-toprocess connections.
TCP is defined in STD 7, RFC 793.
TCP/IP stack
(Transmission Control
Protocol over Internet
Protocol)
TCP/IP stack is the standard Ethernet protocols incorporated into

4.2BSD UNIX. While TCP and IP specify two protocols at specific
layers, TCP/IP is often used to refer to the entire DoD protocol
suite based upon these, including Telnet, FTP, UDP and RDP.
Telnet
The virtual terminal protocol in the Internet suite of protocols. It

lets users on one host access another host and work as terminal
users of that remote host. Instead of dialing into the computer,
the user connects to it over the Internet using Telnet. When
issuing a Telnet session, it connects to the Telnet host and logs in.
The connection enables the user to work with the remote machine
as though a terminal was connected to it.
TFTP (Trivial File

Transfer Protocol)
A simplified version of the File Transfer Protocol that transfers

files but does not provide password protection or user-directory
capability.
Throughput
The amount of information transferred through the network

between two users in a given period, usually measured in the
number of packets per second (pps).
Traffic Management
Set of actions and operations performed by the network to

guarantee the operability of the network, exercised in the form of
traffic control and flow control.
UDP (User Datagram

Protocol)
UDP is an Internet standard network layer, transport layer and

session layer protocols which provide simple but unreliable
datagram services. It adds a checksum and additional
process-to-process addressing information. UDP is a
connectionless protocol which, like TCP, is layered on top of IP.
UDP is defined in STD 6, RFC 768.
WAN (Wide Area

Network)
A WAN is a network, usually constructed with serial lines,

extending over distances greater than one kilometer.

KMBE
Chapter 1
Introduction
1.1
Overview
KMBE is based on the MBE family of standalone bridges and IP/IPX routers for the
small office. KMBE is a Kilomux-2100/2104 I/O module that can be used for
various bridging and routing functions, connecting one or two Ethernet LANs via
the Kilomuxs main links. Quick setup and advanced configuration menus provide
on-screen instructions that guide you through the configuration procedures.
Versions
You can order KMBE with the following LAN interfaces:
AUI
Thin coax
UTP (10BaseT).
1.2
Features
The KMBE module has the following principle features:

Routing
Bridging
IP, IPX, and IP+IPX Routing
Single IP Address Translation
Supports static nets and multi-nets
Supports IP fragmentation
Configuration and Control
KMBE
Supports Telnet allowing configuration and control of the device over WAN
and LAN

Chapter 1 Introduction
Software downloading is available by TFTP
Security
Solid firewall protection
PAP/CHAP authentication
Undesired access to KMBE via Telnet or SNMP can also be blocked or

password protected
Other
Supports PPP Protocol
Supports 10Base2, 10Base5, or 10BaseT LAN interface
Supports dual link applications
Hot-swappable plug-in module.
Bridging
KMBE supports standard proprietary functionality. Because bridging is the KMBE
default, you can use KMBE as a bridge with little or no configuration.
IP Routing
KMBE is an IP router that supports:
Static IP net configuration
Dynamic IP net learning using the RIP and RIP-2 protocols
CIDR topologies
Multiple IP nets on the LAN or WAN interfaces
Numbered and unnumbered I/F
IP fragmentation.
IPX Routing
In addition to IP routing, KMBE also supports IPX routing and includes support for
RIP and SAP.
Address Translation (Single IP) and Firewall

KMBE includes a feature called Single IP. Single IP, designed by RAD, translates IP
addresses. Single IP can be enabled or disabled. When enabled, KMBE allows
users in a Small Office to connect to the Intranet quickly and transparently.
Connection is via a synchronous link. Single IP also protects all Small Office users
from hackers on the Intranet.
Normally, a LAN requires a complete statically assigned, unique and legal subnet
in order to connect to the Intranet. Single IP allows an entire Small Office to
1-2
Features
KMBE
Kilomux-2100/2104
connect to the Corporate Intranet using only one dynamically or statically

assigned IP address.
Solid Firewall
The Solid Firewall feature prevents access from the Intranet into the Small Office
LAN. This feature makes the Small Office LAN invisible to outside users. The Solid
Firewall feature is a simple and foolproof way of protecting security sensitive
Small Offices (e.g. doctors and lawyers) from Intranet hackers.
1.3
Applications
This section gives four examples of the applications KMBE can be used in.
Basic Bridging
Two KMBEs can be used opposite each other in a bridging application. The KMBE
connected to the larger network or to a network with connections to other
networks, is the Main KMBE. The KMBE connected to the smaller network is the
Remote KMBE, see Figure 1-1.
Figure 1-1. Bridging Application
Routing Between Central and Remote Offices

You can use the KMBE as a router to connect a central office to a remote office.
This application allows you to:
KMBE
Use data compression
Setup firewall protection
Supply Internet access to all of the remote offices through only one Internet
connection.

Figure 1-3. Routing Application with a Firewall
Dual Link Applications

In a dual link application, KMBE can work with both Kilomux main links
simultaneously, connecting two remote LANs to a central LAN and therefore
provides a cost-effective and simple solution for corporate applications. KMBE
can also operate opposite another KMBE module, see Figure 1-4.

Internal Settings
All KMBE modules have one user-selectable jumper, designated WTCH-DOG. The
KMBE modules include additional jumpers, which are factory-set and should not
be moved. The WTCH-DOG jumper allows maintenance personnel to disable the
KMBE watchdog circuit during maintenance.
Figure 2-2 shows the location of the jumper. The jumper has two positions:
ON - The watchdog circuit is enabled. This is the setting required for normal
operation
OFF - The watchdog circuit is disabled.
The default setting is ON.

Figure 2-2. Module KMBE, Internal Settings

KMBE modules with thin Ethernet and AUI interfaces do not have additional
jumpers, as all of their remaining functions are programmable. The KMBE module
with UTP interface, however, has one additional switch, designated STN/HUB,
located on the LAN interface card. Figure 2-2 also identifies the location of this
switch. The switch is located on the printed circuit side of the module.
The STN/HUB switch controls the connection of the internal transmit and receive
pairs to the external UTP pairs to allow direct connection, without cross cables.
Table 2-2 shows the switch settings.

The correct position of the switch depends on the wiring used in your particular
network. In general:
Set the switch to STN if the KMBE module connects directly to the LAN (this
interchanges the connections of the receive and transmit pairs).
Set the switch to HUB if the KMBE module connects to an Ethernet hub.
Factory setting is HUB.
Module Installation
The KMBE module can be inserted into, or removed from, an operating chassis
(hot-swappable).
Refer to the system installation plan and insert the module in the assigned I/O
slot of the Kilomux chassis.
The module is ready to start operating as soon as it is plugged into an operating
Kilomux chassis. For module configuration instructions, see Chapter 3.

After the power-up self-test, either the MAIN or the REM indicator must light,
indicating the selected mode. The LAN RX and LAN TX indicators must light (or
flash), and the ERR LAN and ERR LINK indicators must be off.
The READY indicator will turn on when the LAN and WAN interfaces are ready.
Note
2-4
If a links synchronization is lost, the KMBE modules will attempt to re-establish

the link automatically. If the attempt does not succeed, the KMBE modules reset
themselves, and continue the attempts to resynchronize. During these attempts,
the LINK ERR indicator flashes slowly.

KMBE Bridge or Router Configuration
KMBE can be configured as either a bridge or a router. KMBE, by default is

automatically configured in the bridge mode. Decide whether KMBE will be used
as a bridge or a router before you start the configuration.
Configuring KMBE as a Bridge

By default, KMBE is automatically configured in bridge mode. Before you
configure KMBE as a bridge, set the location parameter to Remote or Main. One
of the two KMBEs in the bridge must have the location parameter set to Remote
and the other set to Main:
Remote - If the KMBE you are configuring as a bridge is connected to the

network that is smaller, and has no connections via a router to other
networks
Main - If the KMBE you are configuring as a bridge is connected to the

network that is larger or has connections via a router to other networks.
Configuring KMBE as a Router

You can use KMBE as a router with compression capability to separate networks.
Before configuring KMBE as a router, set the location switch to Main.

Host IP Setup
LAN IP Address
Select this parameter to enter the IP address. Every device on a TCP/IP network
must have an address to identify it. The IP address is a value consisting of the
network address and the host address on that network. The value assigned to a
network depends on the number of computers on that network.
The IP address is a 32-bit number. The number is made up of 4 parts, with each
part consisting of 3 digits. One part of the address identifies the network and
another part of the address identifies the host. Which numbers in the address
identifies the host is dependent on the IP class.
There are 5 classes of IP addresses. Each class represents a network having a
certain number of computers. For example, a Class C address is given to a
network having between 1-255 computers. Table 4-1 gives the ranges for
different classes of IP addresses.
Table 4-1. IP Classes

Class
Range
0.0.0.0 to 127.255.255.255

224.0.0.0 to 239.255.255.255
240.0.0.0 to 247.255.255.255
The numbers in each part of the code are translated into binary. The binary code
identifies the network and the host.
IP addresses are assigned by the Internet Network Information Center (InterNIC).
InterNIC assigns the network ID. Host IDs are assigned by the network
administrator.
LAN IP Mask
Select this parameter to enter the IP mask. The mask is configured automatically
from the IP address class, as shown in Figure 4-1. If you want to change the
default mask, enter a new mask. For example, the IP mask is usually
225.225.225.0. A mask of this sort would allow 254 hosts on the LAN. If you
want to create a subnet which allows 6 users, including KMBE/N, configure the
mask as 22.225.225.248. on KMBE/N and each host that is included on the
subnet.

MAC Address
Select this parameter to assign a MAC address locally. This allows you additional
control of the devices in the LAN. KMBE can be used with the default address
provided by the manufacturer or with a locally administered address. Locally
administered addresses are very useful for managing large networks.
IP Host
Select this option to configure the following IP parameters.
IP Address
Every device on a TCP/IP network must have an address to identify it. The IP
address is a value consisting of the network address and the host address on
that network. The value assigned to a network depends on the number of
computers on that network.
The IP address is a 32-bit number. The number is made up of 4 parts, with each
part consisting of 3 digits. One part of the address identifies the network and
KMBE
Kilomux-2100/2104

another part of the address identifies the host. Which numbers in the address
identifies the host is dependent on the class.
There are 5 classes of IP addresses. Each class represents a network having a
certain number of computers. For example, a Class C address is given to a
network having between 1-255 computers. Table 4-1 gives the ranges for
different classes of IP addresses.

240.0.0.0 to 247.255.255.255
The numbers in each part of the code is translated into binary. The binary code
identifies the network and the host.
IP addresses are assigned by the Internet Network Information Center (InterNIC).
InterNIC assigns the network ID. Host IDs are assigned by the network
administrator.
IP Mask
A subnet is a portion of a network that shares a common address component. On
TCP/IP networks, subnets are defined as all devices whose IP addresses have the
same prefix. For example, all devices with IP addresses that start with
133.100.100. would be part of the same subnet. An IP mask allows filtering of IP
addresses on a subnet.
When an IP address is configured the IP mask is automatically configured
according to Table 4-2.

224.0.0.0-239.255.255.255
255.255.255.225
The default IP mask can be edited.

Default Gateway
The default gateway is the address to which frames are sent if no other address
is defined in the routing table. The station compares the destination IP address
net ID with the station's own net ID. If they are not the same, KMBE
4-12
Advanced Setup
KMBE
Kilomux-2100/2104
automatically sends the packets to the default gateway MAC address; in this case
KMBE. KMBE then passes the packets to the Central Access Router link. From
there they are routed onwards.
The default gateway can be an IP address or a WAN interface. If you choose to
use an IP address, enter the address of the router which will deliver the frames.
Specifying an IP address for the default gateway is done with shared media, such
as LAN interface.
If you choose to use a WAN interface, the connection to the router is point-topoint. Choose "by interface" and Interface 1 is automatically set.
It is very important to obtain the correct parameters from the system

administrator or ISP. The most common problem when establishing an IP
connection is incorrect configuration of the IP parameters and default gateway.
SNMP Manager Table

Select this option to add, clear or delete parameters from the manager table. The
manager table lists the SNMP manager IP addresses and masks.
Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is an application-layer protocol
designed to facilitate the exchange of management information between
network devices. By using SNMP to access management information data (such
as packets per second and network error rates), network administrators can
more easily manage network performance and find and solve network problems.
TFTP (Trivial File Transfer Protocol)

TFTP is a file transfer protocol used for downloading boot code to diskless
workstations.
TFTP is used in a server designated as the TFTP server. The server needs to
provide concurrency to allow multiple users to boot up simultaneously. To do this,
TFTP creates a UDP port for each client. By creating a UDP port, the different
client input datagrams can be demutilpexed by the server's UDP module.
Demutilpexing in the module increases the server efficiency.
One characteristic of TFTP is that it is not secure. There is no password or firewall
associated with TFTP. Anyone with the IP address of the TFTP server can enter
the server and download files. Security can be provided by creating a directory
which contains only those files which you want to be downloaded. This prevents
access to any other files.
You must configure the following parameters in a TFTP server:
File Server IP Address
Select this parameter to enter the IP address of the TFTP server.
File Name
Select this parameter to enter the name and path of the file to be transferred.
Retransmitting Timeout
Select this parameter to enter the amount of time that is allowed to pass before
a file is retransmitted.

KMBE
Kilomux-2100/2104

PPP - Point to Point Protocol consists of 3 components:
A way to encapsulate IP datagrams on a serial link. PPP supports either:
an asynchronous link with 8 bits of data and no parity
bit-oriented synchronous links.
A link control procedure (LCP) to establish, configure, and test the datalink connection. Having a LCP allows each end to negotiate various
options
A family of network control protocols (NCPs) specific to different network

layer protocols. The NCPs allow each end to configure network control
parameters.
Each frame begins and ends with a flag byte whose value is 0x7e. The flag
byte is followed by an address byte whose value is 0xff. The address byte is
followed by a control byte whose value is 0x03.
The control byte is followed by the protocol field. The value of the protocol
field determines the type of information field. A value of 0x0021 means the
information filed is an IP datagram. A value of 0xc21 means that the
information field is link control data, and a value of 0x8021 means that the
information field is for network control data. The CRC field is a cyclic
redundancy check, used to detect errors in the frame.
PPP is often used across slow serial lines. It is therefore important to reduce
the number of bytes per frame to reduce the latency time. Using the LCP,
most implementations negotiate to omit the constant address and control
fields and to reduce the size of the protocol fields from 2 bytes to 1 byte. In
addition, when using the IP NCP, most implementations use Van Jacobson
header compression to reduce the size of the IP and TCP headers.

Link Cost/Metric
Select this parameter to assign a cost to each WAN link for routing purposes.
Metrics are hop counts. Hop counts are the number of routers through which a
packet must go to get to its destination. Adjacent interfaces have a hop count of
1. If a packet must go through 2 routers to get to its destination the hop count is
2. The higher the hop count the longer the route.
A router will automatically send packets using the lowest possible metric. If a
router is not functioning, KMBE will send the packets through an interface with a
higher metric.

PPP Settings
This option is only available for PPP link protocol.
The PPP Setting screen has the following options:
Header and Control Field Compression - This parameter is used for

troubleshooting only. Do not change the entry unless there is a problem
Protocol Field Compression - This parameter is used for troubleshooting only.

Do not change the entry unless there is a problem
IP Compression - This parameter activates Van Jacobson TCP Header

Compression on a specified link.
PPP is normally used on slow bandwidths, such as modems. Data
transmission is therefore slower when using this protocol. To quicken the
transmission, certain parts of the data packets can be compressed.
In Van Jacobson TCP Header Compression the packet header is compressed.
Every IP data packet contains a header. The header contains the source
address, destination address and other information.
Since PPP is used for point to point transmissions, both the local and remote
devices must have Van Jacobson TCP Header Compression enabled for
compression to be performed. To verify that Van Jacobson TCP Header
Compression is being performed, open the Interface Connections Screen.
Data Compression Negotiation Mode - KMBE supports IP and IPX data

compression according to RFC 1974 using the STAC Compression Method. The
following modes are supported:

When KMBE attempts to negotiate with another unit, a message is sent

stating in which mode the data will be sent. If the mode is acceptable to the
receiving unit, data transmission begins. If the mode is not acceptable (i.e.
the second unit does not support this mode), another mode is tried, until an
acceptable mode is found. This process is called auto-negotiation. When you
choose a mode, you are choosing the first mode used during
auto-negotiation. Do not change this parameter unless a problem arises with
the auto-negotiation. If a problem does arise, consult the opposite unit's user
manual.

IP Net - IP Net defines a network as the destination. IP Net consists of 2

parts: the frame pathway and destination. The pathway is specified either as
an interface (i.e. port) number or as Next Hop IP address. Next Hop IP means
that the frames are sent to another router; from there they will be sent to
their final destination.
To define the destination enter the subnet IP address and IP mask. For
example, 192.168.1.3 is a subnet IP address and 255.255.255.240 is the IP
mask.

RIP Mode
Select this parameter to set the type of RIP to be sent. Toggle between RIP1,
RIP2, RIP1+2 or No RIP for each interface. Since most Internet applications do not
use RIP, the default setting is No RIP.
RIP stands for Routing Information Protocol. Every router has a routing table
which directs packets. A router uses the routing table to send the packets
through a designated gateway (if the packet was sent to another network) or
sends the packets directly to a host. The routing table is built when the host is
booted up. RIP sends a request to all active interfaces, asking for the others'
routing table. Using the information received, the host builds its own routing
table in which the packet destinations are entered.
By sending requests for information, RIP both builds the table and updates the
entries. RIP updates the table using the responses received every 30 seconds.
If a router is not functioning, the packets must be redirected and sent to a
second router. The routing table contains the address of a backup router. RIP
informs all of the other routers in a network on how to circumvent the nonfunctioning router.
Maximum Transmit Unit
Select this parameter to set the maximum transmit unit (MTU) for
IP fragmentation. The MTU must be set for each interface.
Both Ethernet and 802.3 encapsulation have frame size limits. If a frame is larger
than the MTU, IP fragments the frame into smaller units.

DNS is a distributed database that is used by TCP/IP applications to map between
host names and addresses, and to provide electronic mail routing information.
The term distributed is used because no single site on the Internet knows all of
the information. Each site (university department, company etc.) maintains its
own database and runs a server program that other systems across the Internet
can query. The DNS provides the protocol that allows clients and servers to
communicate with each other.

routers on the same LAN. If there are no other IPX routers on KMBE LAN, this
parameter must be set to Manual, and you must configure the IPX Nets for
each frame type.
LAN IPX Net for Frame Type - Each of these parameters specifies the IPX Nets
associated with a particular frame type. Each frame type is supported by the
LAN. KMBE supplies default values for these frame types.
Dial-in IPX Net - This parameter specifies the IPX Net definition for a WAN
interface.

enables sending RIP and SAP tables for all updates and interfaces (Link and LAN).
When disabled KMBE does not send RIP/SAP frames. KMBE receives and processes
RIP/SAP frames sent from other routers.
Station Aging
Station aging determines the amount of time a station is allowed to be inactive
before it is removed from the network. A station is inactive when no IP traffic is
forwarded or received to the KMBE LAN interface. For example, in Figure 4-10, IP
address 192.18.1.1 has an aging time of 120 seconds. If no frames are received

Status
Select this parameter to specify the status of a link: enabled or disabled. An
enabled link transmits frames. Normally you would want all links enabled. If a
router is not working, the link to that router should be disabled. All frames are
then rerouted.
Type
Select this parameter to specify the type of interface in use: Synchronous.
When the mode is synchronous, data bits are transmitted at a fixed rate. The
sender and the receiver are synchronized. The third mode is Frame Relay. Frame
Relay is a packet-switching protocol for connecting devices on a WAN.
Connection Type
Select this parameter to specify the type of connection:
Originate only - If the link is to be used to connect to the Intranet
Answer only - If the link is to be used for receiving remote access

connections
Answer&Originate - If the link is to be used for both incoming and outgoing

connections (not simultaneously).
Connection Timeout (sec)

Select this parameter to specify the connection timeout. The remote side has to
answer within the time allotted with the Connection Timeout. If within this time
there is no response, you are informed that the remote side is no longer active.
Connection timeout is only configured when the PPP protocol is used. The
parameter consists of two parts:
Time (1-255 seconds)
Number <N> of attempts.
Within the designated time, KMBE will send frames <N> times. For example, if the
time is configured to120 and the number is configured to 6, every 20 seconds a
frame is sent. If there is no response KMBE assumes that the remote unit has
failed.

Minimum Accepted PPP Security
Select this parameter to specify the minimum security to none, PAP or CHAP.
PPP supports 2 types of security systems:
CHAP (Challenge Handshake Authentication Protocol) - CHAP is a type of

authentication in which the authentication agent (typically a network server)
sends the client program a key to be used to encrypt the username and
password. This enables the username and password to be transmitted in an
encrypted form to protect them against hackers.
PAP (Password Authentication Protocol) - PAP is the most basic form of

authentication, in which a user's name and password are transmitted over a
network and compared to a table of name-password pairs. Typically, the
passwords stored in the table are encrypted. The main weakness of PAP is that
both the username and password are transmitted in an unencrypted form.

Using a variety of parameters, advanced filters can be used to regulate different

protocols, to totally or partially block traffic, and to control traffic between links.

Figure 4-20. Action of an Advanced Filter

There are two modes through which filtering can be implemented: blocking and
forwarding.
Blocking
The block command causes KMBE to test every packet of data that is sent to or
from the LAN. If the packet passes the test, passage is denied.
Example:
You want to ensure that IP/UDP packets do not go on to the link in the direction
of the Intranet. Thus, you design a filter which tests each packet to see if it is an
IP/UDP packet. If the packet tests positive, it is automatically blocked.
Forwarding
The forward command works in the same way as the block command. However,
with forwarding, if the packet passes the test, it is allowed passage to or from
the LAN.
Example:
You want to allow a certain user on the Small Office LAN to access the Internet
for FTP purposes. To do this, you create a filter to test each packet for the IP
host address of the specified user and the FTP socket of the packet. If the packet
passes the test, it is forwarded to the Internet/Intranet.
Multiple Filters
Up to 18 filters can be defined. If there are 2 filters which have contradictory
operations, forwarding takes precedence over blocking.
4-34
Advanced Setup
KMBE
Kilomux-2100/2104
Example:
You want to allow only one particular user on the Small Office LAN to access the
Internet for FTP purposes. To insure that no one else is able to access the
Internet, create a blocking filter for all traffic going to the link. To do this, from
the Blocking and Forwarding menu enter "Block all traffic for Link1". In addition,
create a filter to test each packet for the IP host address of the specified user
and the FTP socket of the packet. Since forwarding takes precedence over
blocking, that user's frames are forwarded.
Definition of Filter Tests
You need to define the filter test that will be applied to every packet that is
transmitted. Use any combination of the following parameters to define the filter
test:
Protocol
Operation (block, forward, etc.)
Interface (LAN, Link)
Destination and/or source IP address of the packet
Destination and/or source MAC address of the packet (layer 2)
IP socket (upper and lower level)
IP packet type (broadcast, multicast).
Up to 18 filters can be defined. To avoid reducing KMBE performance, minimize

the number of active filters.
Defining Filters
Filters can be defined through the control port, Telnet or SNMP. First decide on
the mode and conditions for a filter, then follow the instructions below to set
filter parameters.
Remember that forwarding takes precedence over blocking. If there is

combination of filters which contain both operations, the frame will be
forwarded.

High level (IP only) - Used to include or exclude high level protocols
Source/Destination Port - Used to define the port source/destination address

of an application
Source/Destination Socket - Used to define the socket source/destination

address of an application
Low Level - Used to include or exclude the low level protocols
Mask - Used to define a mask filter
Status - Used to define the filter's status.
True-False Menus
Many of the Advanced Filter parameters can be configured so that:
Frames with that parameter pass (true); or
Frames without that parameter pass (false).
For example, if you choose BroadCast-True, any frame which is BroadCast will
pass. If you choose BroadCast-False, any frame which is not BroadCast will pass.
Advanced Filter Parameters
Filter ID - The system automatically assigns a new number to each filter
Protocol - The protocol on which the filter operates
Operation - The action which the filter applies to a frame that passes:
Forward
Block
Connect
Disconnect.
The operations are listed in their order of priority. For example if the connect and
disconnect commands are applied to a frame, the connect command takes
precedence.
Connect and disconnect are only relevant to Connection on Demand. When

accessed through the Filter menu, only they appear.
Interface - The area where the filters will act. If you want to filter traffic
going to the LAN, choose LAN. If you want to filter traffic going to the link,
choose Link.
Source Address - Toggle to the desired address type (MAC or NET). The
address format (hexadecimal or binary) appears. Type in the complete source
address.
If you want to include a group of addresses, type <x> to indicate an unspecified

group. For example, a filter with the MAC source address the 4020.D2FE.xxxx will
pass any address beginning with 4020.D2FE.
4-38
Destination Address - Toggle to the desired address type (MAC, NET, All,
BroadCast, MultiCast). The address format (hexadecimal or binary) appears.
Type in the complete destination address. Choose True or False.
Advanced Setup
KMBE
Kilomux-2100/2104
Normally, a frame has a particular destination, as specified in the destination

address field of the frame. Such frames are referred to as "All" frames.
"BroadCast" frames are intended for all stations. If you specify "BroadCast"
do not specify a mask pattern.
High Level - When you choose this parameter 2 choices appear:
Yes
No.
When Yes is chosen, a list of High Level protocols appear. The High Level
protocols include:
FTP
WWW
Telnet
E-MAIL
TFTP
SNMP
DNS
RIP.
Select the protocols you want to filter. Choose True or False.
Source/Destination Sockets - This parameter differs for IP and IPX:
IP - The Destination Port is enabled when no High Level protocol is

specified. If you define a port number in decimal numbers, define the low
level protocol as UTP or TCP. If no port number is defined, define the low
level protocol as UTP, TCP, or ICMP. Choose True or False.
IPX - If a socket address or low level protocol is not defined, a socket

number may be specified. Choose True or False.
Low Level (IP protocol) - Toggle to the required low level protocol for the
filter. If the port number is defined in decimal format, specify the low level
protocol as UTP or TCP. If no port number is defined, specify the low level
protocol as UTP, TCP, or ICMP. Choose True or False.
Low Level (IPX protocol) - Toggle to the required low level protocol for the
filter. If a socket is defined in the destination address, a low level protocol or
socket number may not be specified. Conversely, if a socket address or low
level is not defined, a socket number may be specified.
Mask - A mask is a test pattern that is used to allow certain frame patterns
only. You define a code against which the frame is compared.
To create a mask, toggle to Yes. Three pairs of codes and offsets must be
created. The offset defines the point in the frame at which the comparison is
made. For example, an offset of 8 means that the 8th byte is compared to the
code. The offset can be from the 7th byte onwards.
The frame is made of 3 different portions:
KMBE
MAC - is at the beginning of the frame
LLC - is after the source address in the frame
Kilomux-2100/2104
Advanced Setup
4-39
DATA - is after the LLC section in the frame.
For each code-offset pair, select the code format:
Binary - specify 48 address bits to be either 0,1, or X (unspecified)
Hexadecimal - specify 12 hex digits to be 0-F or X (unspecified).
For each code-offset pair, choose True or False.

Every frame, at the designated offsets, is compared to the 3 codes in the mask.
If all 3 codes and the True-False condition match the code written in the frame,
the frame passes.
Only 1 mask per filter can be defined.
Status - Toggle between:

Active
Not Active - Not active allows you to define filters which can be stored
and used at a later time.
Saving Filter Parameters

All filters are stored in the Flash Memory, thereby preserving them if the power
goes down. When filtering is selected, all of the filters are copied into the RAM.
The RAM copy is then used to activate the software filtering. process. Any filter
which is modified, (by clearing all, deleting one, or changing a parameter) goes
into effect immediately. The previous filter also remains in effect until the system
is rebooted.
To exit filtering and return to the main Setup menu:

1. Press Esc.
The following prompt appears:
'up' (Y/N)?
2. Press Y to save changes in the Flash Memory or press N to cancel your
changes. The system loads the previous set of masks the next time the
system is rebooted.
Fast Retransmission Frame Limit

This option allows you to insert the maximum number of acknowledge frames in
the buffer to prevent unnecessary retransmission on the WAN.
