Device Name
The device name specifies the name of this ISDN router. This field is linked to Local Router Name in the
menu “Quick Configuration”. Any text character is acceptable for up to 32 characters.
IP Address
The IP address describes the IP address assigned to this router by your ISP. This field is linked to Local
IP Address in menu “Quick Configuration”.
IP Mask
The IP mask describes the local IP sub-netting. This field is linked to Local IP Mask in menu “Quick
Configuration”.
IPX Network
The IPX network specifies the IPX network number of the Ethernet this router is directly connected to.
This 4-byte field is entered in 8 hex characters. With the given IPX network number, the Hypertec Router
creates a route entry in the IPX route table automatically. The IPX network has to be configured correctly
for the Hypertec Router to route IPX traffic.
IPX Frame Type
The IPX frame type specifies the frame encapsulation scheme this router will recognize as the IPX frames
from the local Ethernet. The IPX frame type is selected from the pull-down menu including Ethernet II,
802.3, 802.2, and SNAP. The Hypertec Router will route IPX packets of the specified IPX frame type.
Other frame type of IPX may be bridged if enabled.
Local ISDN Sub-menu
This Local ISDN menu (see Figure 0-6, Local ISDN Window) describes the ISDN aspects of the local
configuration. Certain parameters have to be set correctly as given by your local telephone company for
the ISDN router to function properly. The switch type is a parameter that has to be entered precisely. For
North-America, the SPIDs are also required. Some of the fields are linked to the menu “Quick Config”.
Switch Type
The switch type specifies the switch type of the ISDN switch to which your ISDN line is connected. The
switch type is selected by pulling down the switch-type box, and pick the one right for your ISDN line.
This selection has to be perfectly matched for your ISDN to function. Please check your local phone
company for the exact switch type. In Northern America, the dominant switch type is National ISDN-1
(NI-1). For the rest of the world, the dominant switch type is EuroISDN (ETSI) or NET3. For Germany
and France, the same EuroISDN switch type is supported.
B Channel Alarm Threshold
This field is used to set the alarm threshold. When the B channel usage level passes beyond this threshold,
the alarm LED will be flashed at high speed to catch your attention. Since there are two B channels in an
ISDN line, threshold set to 50% means either one of the B channel is in use 100% of the time, or both
channels are in use 50% of the time, or other equilibrium combinations of usage.
