Chapter 1 - Introduction
The Nomus Gateway i EthOxE1 family of products is a very cost-effective solution for
transmission of Ethernet Data over Bonded Multiple E1s. They use the ITU based
GFP/VCAT/LCAS standards for framing, bonding and provisioning of up to 4, 8 or 16 E1
circuits for increased bandwidth for broadband applications. The EthOXE1 family
supports one Ethernet Port on a 10/100 Base-T RJ45 port and an optional additional
100 Base-FX Fibre Port. Delay compensation of up to 200 ms is supported between
indiviudal E1 links. The LCAS provisioning feature allows additional channels to be
added or removed as required without the intervention of an operator. Bridged mode
with packet filtering and forwarding is based on the Ethernet MAC address and a Self-
Learning algorithm.
The Nomus Gateway i EthOxE1 family can be managed with convenient DIP-switches &
LEDs and Telnet & Console. Optional SNMPv1 and v2 with Traps allow management via
industry-standard Management Platforms.
Management/ Diagnostics through Console & Telnet and optional SNMP &
HTTP.
Front panel LED indicators for Ethernet & WAN ports status.
2.1 Unpacking
Check for accessories as per the checklist pasted on the unit packing box. Do not
dispose the box in case you need to store the unit or ship it in the future. The box should
contain the following items.
• Do not place it near other equipment that can emit strong electromagnetic
radiation, e.g. Transformers, power rectifiers etc.
• Position it so that user can easily see and access the front panel and its
control indicators. Leave enough clearance at the back for cables and
wires.
Warning!
Keep the equipment powered off during the installation process.
4. An RJ45 Connector for 10/100 base-T ETH1 Ethernet Interface for straight
or cross Ethernet connection
DC power: Connect the modem to a DC power source as described below. The Power
cable for –48V DC is terminated on a three-pin tag block connector.
2. Connect the +48VDC source to the Red wire on the tag block.
3. Connect the -48VDC source to the Black wire on the tag block.
4. DC power cable length should not exceed 15 meters of length from the
power source.
Use the DIP Switch SW1 for enabling or disabling the E1 Port as shown in below table.
To configure the Gateway i EthOxE1 using console port, user will need a PC with
RS-232 console port and a communication software utility, such as hyper terminal.

Enter Your Option: Press <ESC> to abort.
This menu allows the user to configure the Device Configuration, Clock Configuration, IP
Configuration, Terminal Configuration and Password Configuration.
The Device Configuration menu allows the configuration for Device name, Location and
contact details which may be useful while monitoring and identifying the different units.
The Clock Configuration menu allows the configuration of the Primary and Backup
source channels for E1 Receive clock.
The IP Configuration menu allows IP related configuration which may be used to monitor
the unit through Ethernet port using Telnet application.
The Terminal Configuration menu allows the terminal mode of the unit. In a pair of
units, configure one as Remote and other as Central.
The Change Password menu allows the option to change the password.
Select ‘2’ in “Configuration” menu to enter into “E1 Port Configuration” menu and
the display will be as follows.

configuration one in internal clock and other in recovered clock. The E1 Mode
allows the selection of E1 ports as long haul or short haul. Short haul operation is
selected if the distance between unit and the PCM Mux is less than 200mtr. Long haul
operation is selected if the distance between unit and the PCM Mux is more than
200mtr. By default, the unit is configured for short haul operation.
Select ‘3’ in “Configuration” menu to enter into “Link Configuration” menu and
the display will be as follows.

The factory default LAN IP of the Gateway i EthOxE1 is 192.168.1.151 and subnet mask
is 255.255.255.0. This will require to be changed in most cases to match with your LAN
settings. This can either be done by connecting the Gateway i EthOxE1 to the PC serial
port and changing the LAN IP Configuration described in section 3.3. The other method
would be to first change the IP address and subnet mask of your PC such that it will
work in the same subnet as that of the Gateway i EthOxE1. For example, IP address:
192.168.1.100 and subnet mask: 255.255.255.0. Change the LAN IP address and
subnet mask of the Gateway i EthOxE1 as required. Save the settings and reboot the
Gateway i EthOxE1. Also revert back to the original IP address and subnet mask of your
PC.
Connect the Ethernet port of the Gateway i EthOxE1 to the Ethernet port on your PC
with the provided straight Ethernet cable. A successful connection of the Gateway i
To access the Gateway i EthOxE1, launch telnet application and enter the LAN IP
address of the Gateway i EthOxE1. Password is required to enter into the menus and
the default password is “NOMUS”. The menus are same Console menus described
above.
The following visual indications (LEDs) are provided on the front panel. The functional
description of each LEDs are as below.
ALM ON : Indicates that all 1’s are being received or DL test initiated on
particular E1 port
OFF : Indicates normal data is received on particular E1 port
Blink : RL test initiated from remote unit on particular E1 port
WAN Status
This test helps in diagnosing the E1 Line and the local Gateway i EthOxE1. In this test,
the data received on the E1 port is looped-back.
The DIP switch 2 is provided on bottom of the unit. To initiate the DL loop on E1
port. Slide the SW-2.1 to ON position to initiate the DL loop on E1 port-1. The ALM1 LED
will come ON. Similarly use the SW-2.2 and so on to initiate the DL loop for the
respective E1 ports.
The below figure 4.2.1 below shows the Digital Loop Back from Local unit.
This test helps in diagnosing the E1 Line and the remote Gateway i EthOxE1. In this
test, the data transmitted on the E1 port of the remote unit is looped-back.
The DIP switch 3 is provided on bottom of the unit. To initiate the RL loop on E1
port. Slide the SW-3.1 to ON position to initiate the RL loop on E1 port-1 of the remote
unit. The ALM1 LED will come ON on local unit and blink on the remote unit. After
initiating the RL test the E1 line can be removed from the local unit and the Tester can
be connected to that E1 line. Once the test readings taken the E1 line can be connected
back and the RL can be ended. Similarly use the SW-2.2 and so on to initiate the RL
loop for the respective E1 ports.
The below figure 4.4.4 below shows the Remote Loop Back from Local unit.
