Version 2.0-01

Watson 5 Ethernet

Operating Manual

Revision: 2006-04-27 3-19

Cisco HDLC formatted packets can be decoded directly by the WAN-port of a router supporting

Cisco HDLC, cf. Figure 2-4.

The Cisco HDLC formatting is controlled with the HDLCTAG Monitor command. It is required if the

Watson 5 Ethernet tabletop is used to directly interface with the WAN port of a router.

3.4 Firmware update

3.4.1 Plugin

Firmware of the Watson 5 Ethernet plugin can be updated remotely using the TFTP protocol. To

load a new firmware package into a plugin, copy the package on the TFTP server and use the

UPDATE GET Monitor command to load the new package into the plugin.

Once the new package is loaded in it must be activated. This is done with the UPDATE COMMIT

command. The plugin will automatically reboot to activate the new firmware package.

If there are any problems with the newly loaded firmware package then it is possible to revert to the

last installed package using the UPDATE REVERT command.

3.4.2 Tabletop

The Watson 5 Ethernet tabletop firmware can be upgraded either through the local RS-232 monitor

port or remotely from a Watson 5 Ethernet plugin modem through the DSL link.

In the first case a PC with the Watson Flashloader application [7] must be used to load a new firm-

ware package into the tabletop. This PC must be connected the RS-232 interface of the tabletop

modem.

In the second case a new firmware package can be transferred into the tabletop through the DSL

link and the Watson 5 Ethernet plugin using the TFTP protocol. This is controlled by the

DOWNLOAD monitor command, cf. 7.4.4.

3.5 Management

3.5.1 Management interfaces

Watson 5 Ethernet modems have several management possibilities:

! Management through a local RS-232 port using a commandline interface (Monitor)

! DSL slave modems (STU-R) can be managed inband through the DSL EOC from the DSL

master modem.

! The Watson 5 Ethernet plugin modem has a dedicated Ethernet interface (Q – Interface) for

remote management through Telnet or SNMP.

! SNMP and Telnet management are also available through the Ethernet user interfaces of the

Watson 5 Ethernet plugin modem (Ethernet inband management). Normally a dedicated man-

agement VLAN is used in this case.

! Ethernet inband management is also possible through a DSL link that is terminated by a Wat-

son 5 Ethernet plugin modem.
