2           INTRODUCTION

2.1         EDP is now supplying Perle/Chase Bridges & Routers to our customers.

               Other FECO’s will detail specific equipment specifications and set-up information. This
               F.E.C.O details the general information that applies to most Perle/Chase equipment.

2.2          Henceforth the equipment will be known as Chase, rather than Perle/Chase.

2.3          Configuration of Chase equipment uses a standard type of format, a menu tree.

2.4          With most Chase equipment comes all the required cabling to connect the console port to a
               VDU or PC.

3             CONFIGURATION METHODS
                Chase devices may be configured using the following basic methods.
                        Manually via a VDU or PC connected to the console port, by entering
                        all the commands.
                        Semi-automatically by interrogating a device, to retrieve its settings and
                        then modify them as necessary and then download them back to the device or
                        onto another device or floppy.
                        Semi-automatically from a pre-prepared floppy.
                The above can be used individually or any combination of some or all of them. It may also be
                possible to telnet the device and do the same.

4              CONFIGURATION RECORD
                Prior to the installation of Chase equipment, a paper hard copy of the set-ups
                (Configuration Record) is to be produced, and is to travel with the equipment to the site,
                and be kept on that site. If possible the Configuration Record should be updated
                whenever any changes are made.

                These Configuration Records are available to support functions on the Office

                                Services System;
                                                                Office Service
                                                                My Computer
                                                                Office(C)
                                                                Offsbu
                                                                Cisco setup

5            REQUIREMENTS
              Before Chase equipment can be configured the following must be available:-
                    Network diagram of the complete network
                    Name (preferrably geographical ie.HULL) of both Routers.
                    IP Address and Subnet Mask of both Routers.
                    Type of line. ISDN numbers if applicable.

6            CONVENTIONS USED

6.1         The Menu System is in the form of a tree shown at the end.

6.2         To go forwards through the Menu System Enter the Option Number required, usually you do not
              need to follow this with a <CR>.

6.3         To select an option enter the Option number and enter the required input. If the input has fixed
              options, then these will be displayed; just enter enough of the characters for it to be unique.
              i.e. jun for june, but only d for december. For options like IP addresses they must be entered in full.
              Most entries require a <CR> to terminate data input. Any entry that is not acceptable, like an out of
              range IP Address, will be identified as unacceptable and you will be invited to try again.

6.4         To toggle between two options e.g. enabled and disabled, just enter the option number, and if
              it prompts "yes" to enable/disable parameter. Enter yes <CR> to complete the toggle.

8              Download / Upload using TFTP

8.1           Using TFTP Client 1.5 to save and restore router configurations on Chase & Cisco

8.2           It is possible to save router configurations to a file. This can either be a file on the main Unix
                system, or to a PC/laptop running a TFTP program such as TFTP Client, as supplied by Chase
                Research on their CD.

8.3           Chase IOLINK routers can also be reprogrammed using TFTP.

8.4           Use HyperTerminal for connection between PC & Router for HyperTerminal information see
                FECO COMMS # 58/1 para 7.

8.5           To save a Chase IOLINK configuration:

8.5.1       Firstly establish that you can telnet to the Router, then check that TFTP access is enabled on the
                Router [ Configuration – Access set-up – TFTP access ]

8.5.2            1.From Unix on the system, log into root.

                At the £ prompt type tftp Ñ [address of router] e.g tftp Ñ 128.10.10.10

                The prompt changes to tftp>

                Now type get Ñ config.txt

                This takes only a couple of seconds to complete and saves the configuration as a file

                [ in the Unix root directory ] called config.txt.

                This is an ASCII type file and can be edited if required.

                Now type quit to exit from tftp

                Next pg Ñ config.txt to view the file or vi Ñ config.txt to edit the file at the root prompt.

8.5.3                 2. From a PC/laptop. Startup the TFTP program on the laptop.

                Get the file from the Router by typing in config.txt in the Remote File window and the Router IP
                Address in the Remote Host window i.e. 192.1.1.10 and then click on the left arrow button ß .
                Make sure that you use only ascii or netascii protocol for the transfer method by selecting Asci
                Mode. The destination [ Local ] directory can be altered if required. Now click the ok button to start
                the transfer.

                N.B. use Wordpad or a Wordprocessing application on the Pc rather than Notepad to view the file
                with the correct line formatting. Ensure that the file is only ever saved as a text file.

8.6           To reprogram a Chase IOLINK:

8.6.1        Firstly establish that you can telnet to the Router, then check that TFTP access is enabled on the
                 Router [ Configuration – Access set-up – TFTP access ]

                 Downloading to an already pre-configured router, this will merge the new configuration into the
                 existing configuration. This is useful if you only want to change a small part of the configuration,
                 you can just upload the configuration lines that need changing.

                 For full reconfiguration it is recommended that the router is defaulted and programmed with an
                 IP address and set with TFTP enabled.

                 [Config - LAN set-up – IP set-up – IP address ][ Config – Access set-up – TFTP
                 access enabled ]

8.6.2        Note: on the IOLINK-130 you will also need to manually set the interface type by disabling the
                 link, setting it as V11 then re-enabling the link. This can be done before or after the TFTP transfer.

                 [Config - WAN set-up – Link set-up – Link operation disabled – Link interface type
                 NONE – Link interface type V11 – Link operation enabled ]

8.6.3                1. From Unix on the system, log into root.

                  At the £ prompt type tftp Ñ [address of router] e.g tftp Ñ 128.10.10.10

                   The prompt changes to tftp>

                   Now type put Ñ config.txt This loads the config file into the router.

                    Next type quit to exit from tftp.

8.6.4                     2. From a PC/laptop. Startup the TFTP Client program on the laptop.

                    First select the file from the directory on the PC/laptop [ by default the same directory as the
                    TFTP Client program ]. The source [ Local ] directory can be altered if required. Next type in the
                    IP address of the Router in the Remote Host window. Ensure that the Mode is set to ASCII and
                    then click the Right arrow button à to put the file into the Router, and click on the OK button to
                    start the transfer.

9                   Download / Upload using Dump
                    Note the configuration can also be dumped into HyperTerminal, or any other suitable terminal
                    emulator.
                    For HyperTerminal goto
                                Config
                                Access set up
                                Dump
                    The restore has not yet been fully tested.

10                 CHASE ROUTERS
                     Other F.E.C.O ‘s will detail information on specific Chase models.

11                  CHASE ROUTER CABLE ADAPTORS
                      NOTE. Chase provides different RJ45 to 9pin/25pin adaptors for connection of the Chase
                      Routers to VDU’s, PC’s and Modems. These can be used with the appropriate cables for
                      connection, but are DIFFERENT from the Cisco Router Connectors.
                      Only use Cisco Adaptors on Cisco equipment and Cisco Adaptors on Perle/Chase equipment.
