  1. Sem 6 – Chap 2 All You Need to Know about Modems

  2. Modem Function • PCM • standard for encoding analog to digital • Each sample is then measured, or quantified, so that it can be encoded as a binary value (typically eight bits). • These approximate values can be used to reconstruct the waveform digitally

  3. North America Signaling Standards • RS-232 (officially EIA/TIA-232-C) • V.35 • HSSI (High Speed Serial Interface) • Asynchronous serial modems are connected to end stations using EIA/TIA-232 • if you are connecting a router to a digital local loop using a CSU/DSU over a leased line, you are likely to use V.35 or HSSI.

  4. EIA 232 Standards • specifies a cable that uses a 25-pin connector (DB-25). However, only eight pins of the cable are used • Many RS-232 cables use a DB-9 or RJ-11/RJ-45 connector instead of DB-25 • Eight pins categorized by groups • Data transfer group 2,3,7 • Hardware flow control group 4,5 • Modem control group 6, 8, 20 • Pin 6 (DSR) and pin 20 (DTR) control how the modem operates; Pin 8 (CD) is controlled by the DCE

  5. Connecting External Modems • To router • AUX (Auxiliary) • Console • Serial interface (on some models) • Asynchronous interface (on some models) • To PC • Internal Modem • External Modem - via a rollover cable to a 9-pin serial port on a PC

  6. Line Types • CON (Console line) - Typically used to login to the router for configuration purposes; this line is also referred to as CTY. • AUX (Auxiliary line) - EIA/TIA-232 DTE port used as a backup asynchronous port (TTY) • TTY (Asynchronous line) - Same as asynchronous interface; available on access server models (Cisco 2509, 2510, 2511, 2512, AS5100, etc); used typically for remote dial-in sessions that use such protocols as SLIP and PPP. A serial interface configured as asynchronous is a TTY connection. • VTY (Virtual terminal line) - Used for incoming Telnet, local-area transport (LAT), X.25 packet assembler/ disassembler (PAD), and protocol-translation connections into synchronous ports (e.g., Ethernet and serial interfaces) on the router.

  7. Telnet/Reverse Telnet • telnet 131.108.30.40 2001 • This command indicates a Telnet connection to line 1 (2000 + 1). If you want to reverse Telnet to a modem on line 14, you would use TCP port 2014 • Show line • Will give line numbers

  8. Configure Reverse Telnet • RTA#configure terminal • RTA(config)#line 10 • RTA(config-line)#transport input all • RTA(config-line)#modem inout

  9. Group Range Commands • RTA(config)#interface group-async 1 • RTA(config-if)#group-range 1 7 • specify which individual interfaces are members of the group

  10. Interface Configuration • RTA(config)#line 2 • RTA(config-line)#login • RTA(config-line)#password letmein • RTA(config-line)#speed 115200 • RTA(config-line)#flowcontrol hardware • RTA(config-line)#stopbits 1 • RTA(config-line)#transport input all • RTA(config-line)#modem inout

  11. Using the Console Port • Advantages

  12. Using the Console Port - Disadvantages • The console port does not support EIA/TIA-232 modem control (Data Set Ready/Data Carrier Detect (DSR/DCD), data terminal ready (DTR) the modem connection will not drop automatically; the user will need to manually disconnect the session. • The EXEC session will not automatically reset; This can present a security hole, in that a subsequent call into that modem will be able to access the console without entering a password; The hole can be made smaller by setting a tight exec-timeout on the line. However, if security is important, it is recommended to use a modem that can provide a password prompt. • The console port does not support hardware Clear to Send/Ready to Send (CTS/RTS) flow control. It is recommended to use no flow control. If data overruns are encountered, however, software (XON/XOFF flow control may be enabled. • The console ports on most systems only support speeds of up to 9600 bps. • The console port lacks reverse telnet capability. • A console port cannot be used for dial-on-demand routing; it has no corresponding async interface.

  13. Configuring Async Ports on Access Servers • Network protocol support such as IP, IPX, or AppleTalk • Encapsulation support such as PPP • IP client addressing options (default or dynamic) • IPX networking addressing options • PPP authentication

  14. Dialers • dialer-list 1 protocol ip permit 192.168.1.1 • Defines interesting traffic • dialer-group 1 • Assigns dialer-list to an Async interface

  15. Modem Configuration • Manual (typically via reverse Telnet) • Automatic discovery (called autodiscovery) • Automatic configuration using a database called autoconfigure

  16. Configure Modem To • Answer a call • Perform hardware flow control • Lock DTE speed to ensure that the modem will always communicate with the access server at the specified speed. • when you use an async interface, you lock the speed to its theoretical maximum of 115.2 kbps. The router speed command sets both transmit and receive speeds • Hang up when you quit a session • Have the CD signal truthfully reflect the carrier state

  17. Essential Modem Commands • Hardware flow control - Uses CTS and RTS signaling. • Lock DTE speed - Sets the serial port of the modem to a fixed data transfer rate.. • Error correction - Sets error control. • Compression - Uses the best compression algorithm that can be negotiated between the two communicating modems. • Show configuration - Shows current modem settings. • Getting help and saving the configuration

  18. Commands • physical-layer async • Must be issued in interface configuration mode • Used for out-of-band management • Show line • shows the type of modem configured on a line. • Clear line 5 • returns a line to its idle state • Show modemcap • verify modemcap support for this modem. • Debug confmodem • displays the modem configuration process
