CommPlete 4000 Communications Server User Guide 5

Chapter 1 - System Overview

System Overview

The CommPlete™ 4000 Communications Server is a single-segment, rack mountable

communications server. It is customized for dedicated turnkey operation of LAN-based

communications and remote access server functions. The CommPlete 4000 is a general purpose,

turnkey communications server that easily interfaces to any existing Novell, Windows NT, or IP

network.

Figure 1-1. CommPlete™ 4000 Communications Server

Product Overview

The CommPlete 4000 is a ruggedized, highly expandable 19" rack mount device that includes a built-

in hard drive, 3.5" floppy drive, and a slot for a CD-ROM drive. It has five circuit-board slots: four are

PCI compatible, and one accommodates either a PCI or ISA card. (Each CommPlete 4000 model is

shipped with a Network Interface Card and a MultiModem ISI card. These occupy two slots, leaving

three slots for expansion cards.) A separate slot supports the single board computer (SBC) that is

the heart of the system. A user configurable card cage allows for up to 32 V.90 (56kbps, KFlex)

internal modems or up to 32 high speed serial ports. The CommPlete 4000 is shipped with factory-

installed RAS

Express

server software for remote-access functionality. Each CommPlete 4000 has a

default configuration that allows it to boot as a RAS unit.

The four CommPlete 4000 models differ according to the serial interface card used. The different

serial interface cards offer, variously, serial ports for external modems, built-in modems, or built-in

modems and terminal adapters:

Model CC4S-8 with the ISI4608PCI or ISI4608UPCI serial card -- has serial port connections for

eight external modems.

Model CC4M-8 with the ISI5634PCI/8 or ISI5634UPCI serial card -- has eight built-in modems

Model CC4H-4S with the ISIHP-4S serial card -- provides four ISDN terminal adapters using the S

interface as well as eight

analog modems (allowing eight concurrent sessions)

Model CC4H-4U with the ISIHP-4U serial card -- provides four ISDN terminal adapters using the

U interface as well as eight analog modems (allowing eight concurrent sessions)

The CommPlete 4000 has expansion capability for up to three additional MultiModem ISI circuit cards

(for additional modems/TAs). When multiple serial-interface cards are used, the CommPlete

accommodates or includes as many as 32 communications devices. While it is most common to use

multiple ISI cards all of the same type, you can equip a single CommPlete 4000 unit with more than

one type of ISI card.

Chapter 1 - System Overview

RASExpress

The CommPlete 4000 is equipped with factory installed RAS

Express

, an advanced remote access

software that enables network managers to configure and manage remote servers via web browsers,

through Telnet over an IP network, and via a GUI manager over both IP and IPX networks. Through

an a special software package bundled with the CommPlete 4000, RAS

Express

can also be

interfaced to standard Radius Authentication functionality (which resides on a separate PC). Radius

Authentication ensures security against unauthorized server access, and includes an integrated

Telnet server and Client. Built-in R log protocol support permits remote log-in to all hosts on the

network and RAS

Express

can facilitate remote software upgrades via standard TFTP protocol.

Chapter 2 - InstallingYour CommPlete 4000

This chapter explains how to set up and connect cables for the CommPlete 4000. This product is

ready to be connected to the end-user's Ethernet concentrator. It is preconfigured to operate as a

communications server. The operator must make modem/terminal-adapter connections, link up the

VGA monitor and keyboard, boot the system, and enter some basic information. To connect the

cables to the SBC or ISI board, see the

Cable Connections

section of this chapter.

Unpacking

Check the items on the CommPlete 4000 shipping list to ensure that you have received the correct

options and accessories. Unpack the unit and inspect it for visible shipping damage. If damage is

observed, do not power-on the unit; contact Multi-Tech's Tech Support for advice. If no damage is

observed, place the CommPlete 4000 in its final location.

Safety Warnings

• Never install telephone wiring during a lightning storm.

• Never install telephone jacks in wet locations unless the jack is specifically designed for wet

locations.

• This product is to be used with UL and cUL listed computers.

• Never touch uninsulated telephone wires or terminals unless the telephone line has been

disconnected at the network interface.

• Use caution when installing or modifying telephone lines.

• Avoid using a telephone (other than a cordless type) during an electrical storm. There may be a

remote risk of electrical shock from lightning.

• Do not use the telephone to report a gas leak in the vicinity of the leak.

• To reduce the fire risk, use only No. 26 AWG or larger telecommunications line cord.

Rack Mounting

Caution: To prevent personal injury or damage to the unit, two people should mount the

CommPlete 4000 into the rack enclosure.

The CommPlete 4000 fits in a standard 19-inch rack enclosure. Attach it securely to the rack

enclosure with the four mounting screws included in your CommPlete 4000 kit.

Note: To keep the server cool enough, you need at least one inch of clearance behind the

unit to allow air flow. If mounted in a rack enclosure or as a desktop unit, there must be a

minimum of one inch between the back of the CommPlete 4000 and any wall or barrier.

Cable Connections

The operator must connect the SBC’s Ehternet connection to the network and the serial interface

card(s) to their related external devices or telephony connections. If the ISI5634PCI/8 is used, the

supplied special cables with two sizes of modular phone plugs must be used to connect that board’s

built-in modems to the phone lines.

If the ISI5634UPCI/8 is used, two RJ-45’s provide the connections to their external devices. The RJ-

45’s fan out to support four modem connections per jack. Two special cables are provided with the

RJ-45 connecting to the UPCI board and fanning out to four RJ11 jacks. The cables are labeled 1-4

which connect to the bottom (right) RJ-45 on the UPCI board and the second cable is labeled 5-8

which connect to the top (left) RJ-45.

CommPlete 4000 Communications Server User Guide 9

Chapter 2 - Installing Your CommPlete 4000

If the ISI4608PCI or ISI4608UPCI is used, connections between it and external modems are made

via the supplied octopus cable going between the DB-78 connector on the ISI4608PCI board and the

DB-25 connectors on the individual modems. (RJ-11 connectors connect the modems to the phone

jacks.)

If the ISIHP-4S or -4U are used, each ISIHP card accepts as many as four RJ-45 connectors to

accommodate ISDN BRI lines. (The modem connections that accommodate analog calls are internal

to the ISIHP board. That is, when the V.90 modem module is installed, each ISDN B-channel

connects to a V.90 modem via a digital connection. These digital connections allow analog callers

using 56K modems to receive 56k downloads from the ISIHP’s modems.)

The SBC board has cable connectors for adding a monitor, a keyboard, and a mouse or other serial

device (on COM1), and network connection. Cable connectors and boards are shown in Figure 2-1.

Note: Any cables connected to the CommPlete 4000 should be shielded to reduce

interference.

ISI Board Cabling

Each Intelligent Serial Interface card (ISI5634PCI/8, ISI5634UPCI/8, ISI4608PCI, ISI4608UPCI or

ISIHP-2S/2U) takes up one physical slot in the CommPlete 4000. Depending on your configuration,

you may have as many as four of these cards (see Figure 2-1). Attach the line cords (RJ-12 for

analog phone lines; RJ-45 for UPCI or ISDN phone lines) to the line connectors on the ISI card(s) at

the back of your CommPlete 4000 as shown in Figure 2-3.

Note: Any cables connected to the CommPlete 4000 should be shielded to reduce

interference.

Note that the two top expansion slots share a data interrupt signal on the PCI bus. Consequently, if

both slots are used, they must be occupied with identical devices (and the device drivers must be

identical). This is a constraint of PCI bus architecture. Also, the device drivers must support

“interrupt-sharing.” The drivers for the MultiTech ISI card do support interrupt-sharing
