PR4000 Setup Sheet for Australia

By Nathan Chan

Starting Notes :

Default IP address on the PR4000 (referred to from now on as the “PR”) is 192.168.0.1

Default console settings are 9600 baud, N-8-1

Default login and password are super and surt respectively.

This is a very simple dial-in PPP, with Radius Authentication setup.  This should at least get calls being answered and users logging on.

Firstly Configure the Ethernet :

Config (1) -> Interface (1) -> Fast Ethernet (1) or Ethernet (2)  -> Network Protocol (2)

Answers :

(A)ctive; (N)umbered Interface; IP of Interface; Subnet Mask of IP; Secondary IP; 1500; (G)lobal, (I)nactive ICMP Port; None (No In filters); None (No Out filters); (I)nactive Proxy ARP; (I)nactive Transparent Bridging.

Configuring WAN (E1) Interfaces

Config (1) -> Controller (9) -> Slot 2(E1) (1)

Answers :

(C)RC; (H)DB3; (C)CS PRI; (S)hort Haul; (a)-law; (ETS)I

(Nb : This would be the same for Slot 3 (E1), and is the setup for ETSI-NET5 only !! )

Configuring the E1 for Dial-ups

Config (1) -> Interface (1) -> Slot 2 (E1) (3) or Slot 3 (E1) -> ISDN (1)

Answers :

Phone Number of PRI with Area Code; Idle Timeout; 1; 3; 10, no, no

Config (1) -> Interface (1) -> Slot 2 (E1) (3) or Slot 3 (E1) -> All Channels (4) -> Encapsulation (1) ->

PPP (1) or PPPCHAR (2)

Answers (assuming PPP) :

MLPPP (N); PPP Timeout; Van Jacobsen Compression (N); Transmit Compressed Packets (N);  LCP Echo Requests (N); Config Requests (1);  (000A0000); N

Nb. Set MLPPP to y if you expect “any” calls to be multilinked….

Config (1) -> Interface (1) -> Slot 2 (E1) (3) or Slot 3 (E1) -> All Channels (4) -> Network Protocol (2)

Answers :

(U)nnumbered; 1; N; (F)ixed Remote IP; IP of First Interface; 1500; IP Fragmentation (N);  (G)lobal; (I)nactive ICMP Port; None (Filter in list); None (Filter out list);  Outgoing Broadcast Messages (I)nactive

Config (1) -> Interface (1) -> Slot 2 (E1) (3) or Slot 3 (E1) -> All Channels (4) -> ISDN (4)

Answers :

Dial-(I)n; Phone Number of PRI including Area Code; 1

Config (1) -> Interface (1) -> Slot 2 (E1) (3) or Slot 3 (E1) -> All Channels (4) -> Authentication (6)

Answers :

Radius (S)erver ; (R)emote; (P)AP Authentication

Add a Static Route to be able to see the internet

Config (1) -> Static Routes (2) – Add Route (1)

(L for list) Select option ==> 1

Destination IP address [192.168.161.0] : 0.0.0.0

Gateway or Interface (G/I) [G] : G

Next Hop [] : [ip of gateway]

Metric [1] : 1

Is this a backup route ? (Y/N) [N] :

OSPF advertises this static route (Y/N) [N] :

Configuring the Radius Servers

Config (1) -> Security (4) -> Radius (3)

(A)ctive Radius

-> Add (1)

Answers :

IP of Radius Server;  (B)oth Auth. and Acct.; (5) Retries; (5) Retry Interval; Shared Secret; UDP Port for Auth;  Y

Note : You will also need to add the PR’s ip address to the clients file in radius for this to work.

OTHER USEFUL INFORMATION

To Factory default the units settings :

Admin (6) -> Load Config (4) -> Factory (1)

To Log messages to the Console / Syslog….

Config (1) -> System (3) -> Syslog (1)

Dial-Out

Config (1) -> Interface (1) -> Slot 2 (E1) (3) or Slot 3 (E1) -> ISDN (1)

Answers :

Phone Number of PRI with Area Code; Idle Timeout; 1; 3; 10

Add Dial-Out Entry (1) etc

Configuring a Default Route (unnumbered)

Config (1) -> Static Routes (2) – Add Route (1)

(L for list) Select option ==> 1
