BSX8000-5 Overview
The BSX8000-5 Broadband Services Switch provides multi-gigabit Ethernet uplink
support capability, full-nonblocking switching throughput, and enhanced
management functionality for the 4000E and 12000E Broadband Loop Carriers
(BLCs).
The BSX8000-5 supports four fixed 10/100/1000 RJ45 Ethernet interfaces and
one MIM (Micro Interface Module) slot. Multiple MIM varieties are supported.
The BSX8000-5 delivers a full 1 Gbps full duplex
backplane connection to each access module in the
BLC. This ensures that the aggregate access bandwidth
cannot exceed the backplane speed of the chassis.
When two BSX8000 modules are used in the 12000E,
the backplane speed is doubled, providing a 2 Gbps
connection to each access module.
The BSX8000-5 supports the following access modules:

Unpacking and Inspecting the Equipment
HANDLING PRECAUTIONS FOR
STATIC-SENSITIVE DEVICES
!
This product is designed to protect sensitive components from damage
due to electrostatic discharge (ESD) during normal operation. When
performing installation procedures, however, take proper static control
precautions to prevent damage to equipment. If you are not sure of the
proper static control precautions, contact your nearest sales or service
representative.
If there is any visible damage, do not attempt to connect the device. Contact your
sales or support representative
Installing a Micro Interface Module (MIM) in the BSX8000-5
A MIM provides the upstream network connection for the BLC. Any of Paradyne's
available MIM models may be installed on the BSX8000-5 uplink module.
Procedure
1. Remove the cover plate from the MIM port.
CAUTION: Cover plates should be stored for possible future use. If a MIM is
removed from a BSX8000-5, it must be replaced with either another MIM or a
cover plate. Do not operate a BSX8000-5 with an open MIM port.
2. Carefully slide the faceplate of the MIM into the BSX8000-5 uplink module
faceplate. Ensure that the mounting holes on the MIM are lined up with the
BSX8000-5 uplink module.
3. Secure the MIM circuit board to the BSX8000-5 uplink module with the two
thumbscrews.

Installing the BSX8000-5 in a BLC
The 12000E is a 14-slot Broadband Loop Carrier (BLC). Slots 1–12 are reserved
for access modules (such as the AIM24000-48) and slots U1 and U2 are reserved
for uplink modules. Although not required for operational purposes, if redundancy
is desired, two BSX8000-5 modules may be installed in the 12000E, in slots U1
and U2. (Note: For redundancy, the two uplink modules in the chassis must be
identical models.)
The 4000E is a five-slot BLC. Slots 1–4 are reserved for access modules and slot
U1 is reserved for a single uplink module.
Procedure
1. Align the BSX8000-5 uplink module with the slot module guides of the chosen
slot for installation (either slot U1 or U2 on the 12000E or slot U1 on the
4000E).
2. Slide the BSX8000-5 uplink module into the chassis. Do not use excessive
force.
3. Tighten the fastening screws on the BSX8000-5 uplink module faceplate.
4. Verify that the PWR (Power) LED on the BSX8000-5 faceplate is illuminated.
Connect the MIM to the Network
Connect to the core network by using one of the fixed GigE interfaces or by using
MIM-10/100
Plug your Ethernet cable into the RJ45 Ethernet port on the MIM-10/100 faceplate.
The MIM-10/100 connects to a router or a PC with a straight-through cable and to
a hub or a switch with a crossover cable.
Verify the connection: solid illumination of the Lnk (link) LED on the MIM-10/100
faceplate indicates an Ethernet uplink connection has been established. The
MIM-10/100 Ethernet port is 10/100 auto-negotiating.
NOTE: Configure the remote device with which you are connecting to
auto-negotiate (if applicable) prior to establishing your Ethernet connection.
MIM100F
Plug your Ethernet Fiber Optic Cable into the port on the MIM100F faceplate.
MIM-2000F
The MIM-2000F is a two-port fiber gigabit Ethernet interface, which connects to
the Fast Ethernet Bus of the BLC. This will function but is not recommended for
use with the BSX8000-5 Uplink Interface.
BSX8-A2-GZ40-10

MIM-4000F
MIM-2E1
The MIM-4000F is a four-port fiber gigabit Ethernet interface connecting directly to
the gigabit Ethernet switch in the BSX8000-5 uplink module.
Plug your E1 cable into one of the RJ45 E1 ports on the MIM-2E1 faceplate. The
MIM-2E1 connects to an E1 network extender provider unit (ENE2000-P or, for
loop bonding, ENE2020-P) via a standard E1 line.
Verify the connection: the Lnk (link) LED on the MIM-2E1 faceplate flashes green
to indicate a network connection has been established.
MIM-2T1
Plug your T1 cable into one of the RJ45 T1 ports on the MIM-2T1 faceplate. The
MIM-2T1 connects to a T1 network extender provider unit (TIM1500-12,
TIM1500-24, TNE1500, or TNE1520) via a standard T1 line.
Verify the connection: the Lnk (link) LED on the MIM-2T1 faceplate flashes green
to indicate a network connection has been established.
BLC Management
The BSX8000-5 uplink module provides BLC management capability via the
Command Line Interface (CLI), Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP),
and the web-based Network Management System (NMS).
Web Interface (NMS)
The following are required for use of the NMS:
„
Web Browser – Required for running NMS. Compatible web browsers
include, but are not limited to, Microsoft Internet Explorer (version 6.0 or
higher) and Netscape Navigator (version 6.0 or higher). NMS is optimized for
use with Internet Explorer.
„
„
Use your browser's default settings when running NMS. JavaScript must be
enabled.
Screen Resolution – 1024 x 768 pixels is the minimum resolution required for
all NMS views to fit within the dimensions of most monitors and laptops. Lower
screen resolutions (such as 800 x 600 pixels) may cause NMS screens to
exceed the width or height of the screen. To verify screen resolution on a
Windows system:
— Right click on your desktop
— Select Properties
— Click the Settings tab
— Adjust the Screen Resolution as needed

Configuring Your Windows PC to Communicate with NMS
To communicate with NMS, your PC’s Ethernet interface must be on the same
subnet as the BSX8000-5. For example, to configure the IP address under
Windows XP:
Procedure
1. In the Windows task bar, click on the Start button, and then click on Control
Panel.
2. Double-click on the Network Connections icon.
3. In the LAN or High-Speed Internet window, right-click on the icon
corresponding to your network interface card (NIC) and select Properties.
(Often this icon is labeled Local Area Connection.) The Local Area Connection
dialog box is displayed with a list of currently installed network items.
4. Ensure that the check box to the left of the item labeled Internet Protocol
(TCP/IP) is checked, and click on Properties.
5. Write down the current IP Address and Subnet Mask in the Internet Protocol
(TCP/IP) Properties dialog box. When you are done using NMS, you will need
to reconfigure your PC with these values.
6. In the Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) Properties dialog box, click in the radio button
labeled “Use the following IP address” and type 192.168.254.x (where x is any
number between 3 and 250, inclusive) in the IP Address field.
7. Type 255.255.255.0 in the Subnet Mask field.
8. Click on OK twice to confirm your changes, and close the Control Panel.
9. Start your web browser. Type the default IP address into the Address field and
press Enter. The default IP address of a BSX8000-5 in Slot 13 of a 12000E
BLC or Slot 5 of a 4000E BLC is 192.168.254.252. The default IP address of a
BSX8000-5 in Slot 14 of a 12000E BLC is 192.168.254.253.
The web server opening screen appears.

Parameter
Description
Flood Configuration
Flood refers to the method in which interface modules
handle unknown unicasts, unknown broadcasts, and
unknown multicasts for each port.
„ Uplink – Any traffic with VLAN IDs that match a
VLAN ID that has been configured to Uplink flood
(default) will be allowed to flow from DSL ports to
uplinks only (not DSL port to DSL port).
„ VLAN – Any traffic with VLAN IDs that match a
VLAN ID that has been configured to VLAN flood
will be allowed to flow from DSL port to uplinks and
DSL port to DSL port.
Flood Membership
Configuration
Specify the VLAN membership of the uplink ports
(four fixed ports and any MIM ports).
By default all uplinks are members of all VLANs.
However you can change it such that an uplink port is
a member of only a certain set of VLAN IDs. In this
case any ingress or egress traffic on an uplink port
with a VLAN ID that the uplink port is not a member of,
will be dropped.
3. Click on Submit.
Command Line Interface (CLI)
CLI System Requirements
„
„
„
„
Straight-Through RJ45 to RJ45 Ethernet Cable – Required for establishing
a direct connection from the COM port to a DB9 adapter.
DB9 Female to RJ45 Male Adapter – Required for conversion of your PC's
RS232 serial port for use with the RJ45 to RJ45 Ethernet cable.
