IP-Pipe G1600 Quick Guide: 1. G1600 Interconnect Network Configurations

This document provides a quick guide for installing and configuring a pair of IP-Pipe G1600 devices to establish an E1/T1 connection over an IP network. The key steps include: 1. Planning the network configuration with one G1600 as the master and one as the slave. 2. Connecting the Ethernet and E1/T1 cabling and using CLI commands to check the interface configurations. 3. Configuring compatible CES, Ethernet, and E1/T1 interface parameters on each G1600. 4. Verifying the E1/T1 connection and performing remote loopback tests.

A G1600 Pair Installation Steps


Usually, one master and one slave G1600s are pre-configured for a G1600 pair.
The process of installing a G1600 pair involves the following steps:
1. Planning for G1600 interconnect network configurations
2. Installing the G1600 10/100BaseT Ethernet and E1/T1 cabling connections
3. Using CLI command (UART A) to display E1/T1 Bitstream (Interface B) and
Ethernet Service (Interface C) parameters
4. Configuring CES, Ethernet and E1/T1 interfaces parameters
5. Verifying the E1/T1 connection of the G1600 pair over Ethernet connection

Example 1: Ethernet back-to-back as in Figure 1.

1. Check the physical hookup for correctness: The G1600 requires an E1/T1 cross
cable in its connection to the E1/T1 source. An Ethernet cross-cable is also
required for two G1600s in Ethernet back-to-back connection. A PC or dumb
terminal connection to the console port must use a null modem (RS232) cross
cable with settings of 115200, N, 8, 1.

2. Check that the Ethernet configuration parameters are correct. RTP header
must be selected for IP packet, and choose payload per packet (say 96 bytes).

The following CLI command displays the bitstream interface configuration:

\Config\Interfaces\Interface_C>gc

Current config Next start up config


Working mode.......: ETH ETH
MII/RMII...........: MII MII
AutoNeg............: ON ON
Speed (Mb/s).......: - -

3. Be sure that the LIU configuration parameters are compatible with the E1 signal
source (line code, line build out, etc.).

The following CLI command displays the bitstream interface configuration:


\Config\Interfaces\Interface_B>gc

Current config Next start up config


Working mode.......: BitStream BitStream

The Interface C gs command shows whether the link to the Ethernet is
operational and whether the PHY has connected properly. Check your settings if
this status report shows that there are problems.

4. Confirm that the configuration of the G1600 pair is compatible and consistent.
See Configuring a Pair of G1600s on Chapter 1. The CES GetStatus (gs)
command shows whether there is connectivity with the peer G1600 and the peer
is reachable.

5. It is recommended to set one G1600 as Loopback-Master and the other as


Recovered-Slave. If the Tx clocks on both G1600s are configured as
Loopback-Master, make sure that the clock source driving both units is stable.
Operating both units as Slave is not recommended and may produce
unpredictable results.

6. Use an E1 tester to perform the remote loopback test.

Example 2: Wireless 802.11b/g Ethernet Bridge as in Figure 2.

1. Check the physical hookup for correctness: The G1600 requires an E1/T1 cross
cable in its connection to the E1/T1source. A pair of 802.11b/g Wireless
Ethernet bridge is also required for two G1600s to connect with as in Figure 2.
A PC or dumb terminal connection to the console port must use a null modem
(RS232) cross cable with settings of 115200, N, 8, 1.

2. Check that the Ethernet configuration parameters are correct. Minimal header
must be selected, and a large payload per packet (say 1492 bytes) is recommended.
Also, it is recommended to select 10M/Half for 802.11b Ethernet Bridge.
Selection of Auto-Negotiation may result in longer time for synchronization.

3. It is recommended to set one G1600 as Loopback-Master and the other as


Recovered-Slave. If the Tx clocks on both G1600s are configured as
Loopback-Master, make sure that the clock source driving both units is stable.

4. Use an E1 tester to perform the remote loopback test.

Table 5-3 lists performance observations and problem suggested causes and
corrections for G1600.

Observations Possible Cause Corrections

Jitter overflow and underflow The maximum jitter setting is Look at the ping round-trip time on the

of the network delay. The maximum jitter

Wide variation between The jitter buffer is operating If the minimum is close to zero or the
maximum and minimum jitter correctly. There is variability maximum close to twice the maximum jitter

** For more details about the operational theory and configuration, please read through Chap 1 and 2
of the G1600 user manual. Chapter 3, and 5 provide the details for CLI commands, testing and
troubleshooting.
