Quidway AR 18 Series Routers Chapter 1 Router Overview
Chapter 1 Router Overview
1.1 Introduction
Quidway AR 18 Series Routers (hereinafter referred to as AR 18) by Huawei

Technologies are oriented for SOHO (small office/home office) subscribers. Currently
the series include 3 sub-series: AR 18-1x, AR 18-2x, AR 18-3x.
The five models of AR 18-1x provide diverse WAN (Wide Area Network) ports,
including multi-protocol synchronous/asynchronous serial interfaces, backup ports,
ISDN BRI S/T and U ports, CT1/PRI ports and E1/CE1/PRI ports. This makes it
possible for the user to flexibly combine the various technologies (such as
PSTN/ISDN, FR (Frame Relay), X.25, DDN (Digital Data Network), T1 and E1 line)
for networking.
The AR 18-2x is Ethernet router, provides Ethernet interface in the upstream direction.
The other six models of AR 18-3x, which belong to XDSL routers, provide ADSL ports,
G.SHDSL ports or ISDN ports. With one or two subscriber lines, subscribers can be
connected to CO (Central Office) devices (or through a 10BASE-T Ethernet port) for
broadband Internet access. The ISDN port is often used as backup port, but it can
also temporarily serves as uplink port when the ADSL or G.SHDSL port fails. In
downstream direction, they provide four 10/100BASE-T Ethernet ports. Data
switching between them is Layer 2 (L2) switching, which supports port isolating.
With the ports compliant with the international standards. AR 18 Series Routers can
interoperate with the products of other manufacturers on all levels. Thus, the
investment that the users have made can be protected to a maximum extent.

Quidway AR 18 Series Routers Chapter 2 Installation Preparation
Chapter 2 Installation Preparation
2.1 Requirements on Environment
AR 18 series must be used indoors. To ensure the normal operation and prolong their
service life, the following requirements for installation site must be met.
2.1.1 Requirements on Temperature/Humidity
Certain requirements on temperature and humidity in the equipment room shall be

met. If the relative humidity is too high, the insulation materials in it will deteriorate
easily or even lead to electric leakage. Sometimes this will result in change to the
mechanical performance of the materials and rusting of the metal components. If the
relative humidity is too low, the fastening screw will become loosen due to shrinkage
of the isolation spacer. In an environment with dry climate, the static electricity may be
produced, putting the CMOS of the router to risk. High temperature is of the greatest
risk: for it will significantly degrade the router’s reliability, speed up the aging process
of the insulating materials, and shorten the service life of the router. The requirements
on the temperature and humidity for AR 18 series are shown in Table 2-1:
Table 2-1 Humidity requirements in the equipment room
Temperature Relative humidity
0oC to 40oC 10% to 90%
2.1.2 Requirements on Cleanness
Dust undermines the normal operation of AR 18 series. Dust dropping on the

equipment can cause electrostatic adsorption, which degrades the contact
performance of the metal connectors or connection points. This happens more
frequently when the indoor relative humidity is low, which will not only shorten the
router’s service life, but also cause communication failure.
The recommended specification on dust content and particle diameter in the

equipment room is shown in Table 2-2:
2-1
Installation Manual
Table 2-2 Specifications on dust content in equipment room
Maxim diameter (µm) Max. intensity (particles/m3)

0.5 1.4 x 107
1 7 x 105
3 2.4 x 105
5 1.3 x 105
The routers also have rigorous demand on the content of salts, acids and sulfides in
the air. These harmful gases will speed up the metal rusting and the aging processes
of certain parts. The equipment room should be protected from the invasion of
harmful gases such as SO2, H2S, NO2, NH3, and Cl2, the value limits of which are
shown in Table 2-3:
Table 2-3 Value limits for harmful gas content in equipment room
Gas Average (mg/m3) Max. (mg/m3)
SO2 0.2 1.5
H2S 0 0.03
NO2 0.04 0.15
NH3 0.05 0.15
Cl2 0.01 0.3
2.1.3 Requirements on Electrostatic Discharge Prevention
Although many antistatic considerations have been given to AR 18 series, damage to

the router’s circuit or even the whole equipment may still happen when the static
electricity exceeds the tolerance threshold.
In the communication network to which the routers are connected, static induction
mainly comes from:
z External electric fields such as outdoor high voltage power line or thunder.
z Internal environment like flooring materials or the whole equipment structure.
Thus, the following should be considered to safeguard the equipment against the
ESD:
z Make sure that the equipment and the floor are well grounded.
z Make sure that dust-proof measures are taken.
z Maintain an appropriate humidity and temperature.
2-2
Installation Manual
z Wear an ESD-preventive wrist strap and uniform when contacting the circuit
board.
z Place the uninstalled circuit board on the antistatic workbench, with its face
upward, or put it into the static shielding bag.
z When observing or removing the uninstalled circuit board, please touch the edge
of the circuit board, and avoid contacting the devices on it.
2.1.4 Requirements on Electromagnetic Environment
The interference sources, no matter where they come from, affect the routers with
capacitance coupling, inductance coupling, radiation of electromagnetic wave,
common impedance (including the grounding system) or conducting line (power line,
signal line and transmission line etc.).
So the following should be considered:

z Take effective measures to prevent the power system from being interfered with
by the power grid system.
z Keep the router far away from the radio launcher, radar launcher, and high-
frequency devices working in high currents.
z Use electromagnetic shielding when necessary.
2.1.5 Requirements on Preventing Lightning
Although many measures have been taken to protect AR 18 series from lightning, if
the lightning intensity exceeds a certain range, damage to the router may still happen.
To protect the router from lightning better, the following should be considered:
z Ensure the PGND wire of the chassis is well grounded.
z Ensure the ground point of the socket of AC power supply is well grounded.
z To enhance the lightning protection capability of the power supply, a lightning
arrester could be installed at the input end of the power supply.
z As for the signal line outdoors to which the interface modules of AR 18 series
routers are connected, such as ISDN line, telephone line, T1 line, etc, a special
lightning arrester should be installed at the input end of the signal line to
enhance the lightning protection capability.
2.1.6 Requirements on Workbench
z There is spacing reserved at the air inlet and outlet in the router so as to facilitate
the radiation of the router cabinet.
z The workbench have good radiation systems.
z The workbench are firm enough to support the weight of the router and other
installation accessories.
z The workbench are well grounded.

3.3 Connecting the Ground Wire
Caution:
Properly connect the ground wire before connecting other cables. It is recommended to shorten the
ground wire as much as possible to prevent the router and the peer device from getting damaged during
periods of lightning activity.
The AC input end of the router is connected to an AC noise filter whose neutral point
is connected to the chassis directly, that is PGND (protection ground, the so-called
chassis ground). PGND must be connected to the earth ground properly, so as to
safely channel the faradic current and leakage power to the ground and improve the
3-4
Installation Manual
capability of anti-electromagnetic interference of the router. The lightning voltage led

in by the exterior network, such as an ISDN, is also channeled to ground by the
ground wire.
The grounding screw of PGND is located on the rear panel. Connect this screw to the
earth ground using a ground wire. The grounding resistance should not be greater
than 5 ohm.
3.4 Connecting the Power Cord
I. AC power supply
External AC power supplies are provided for Quidway AR 18 Series Routers , which
have the following specifications:
Rated input voltage: 100-240V a.c., 50/60Hz
Maximum input voltage: 90-264V a.c., 50/60Hz
Input current: 0.5~1A
Output voltage: 12V d.c.
Output current: 4A
The following figure illustrates the power supply:
Figure 3-6 Power supply
II. Recommended power outlet
It is recommended to use a monophase 3-core power outlet with neutral point. The
neutral point of the outlet should be grounded reliably. Normally, the neutral point of
the power supply system in a building was buried in the ground during the
construction and cabling. The user must make sure that the power supply for the
building has been well grounded before connecting the AC power cord.

ports, through which configuration of the router can be performed. For the attributes
of console port, refer to Chapter 1 Router Overview of this manual.
II. Console cable
Console cable is an 8-core shielded cable. One end of the cable is an RJ45
connector for CON of the router, and the other end is a DB9 (female) connector and a
DB25 (female) connector. The user can plug either of them into the serial interface of
the console terminal as needed.
Console cable is shown in the following figure:
3-6
Installation Manual
Figure 3-7 Console cable assembly
III. Connecting the console cable
When configuring the router through the console terminal, follow these steps to
connect the console cable:
Step 1: Select a console terminal.
The console terminal can be either a standard ASCII terminal with an RS-232 serial
interface, or a PC, the latter being more widely used.
Step 2: Connect the cable.
Power off the router and the console terminal, and then connect the RS-232 serial
interface to the console port of the router via the console cable.
Verify the connection and power on the router and the console terminal. Normally, the
startup information of the router will be displayed on the console terminal. For more
details, refer to “Section 4.1.3 Startup Process” in this manual.
3.6 Connecting the Router to the LAN
I. Introduction to the Ethernet interface
Quidway AR 18 series routers all provide 10/100BASE-TX FE ports for connection of

subscriber LANs, but their port attributes differ in some aspects. See Chapter 1
Routers Overview.
II. Ethernet cable
100BaseT Ethernet interface is usually connected to an Ethernet via category-5

twisted pair, as shown in the following figure:
3-7
Installation Manual
Figure 3-8 Ethernet cable assembly
The Ethernet cables are classified into straight-through cable and crossover cable.
z Straight-through cable: The sequences of the wires crimped at the RJ45
connectors of the two ends are the same. The cable is used in the connection
between a terminal device (e.g., PC) or router and a Hub or LAN Switch.
Straight-through cables are delivered along with the router.
z Crossover network cable: The sequences of the wires crimped at the RJ45
connectors of the two ends are different. The cable is used in the connection
between a terminal device (e.g., PC) or router and another terminal device (such
as a PC) or router. The user can self-make the cable if necessary.
Caution:
When preparing network cable, use shielded cables to ensure the electromagnetic compatibility.
III. Connecting the Ethernet cable
Caution:
z Please identify the mark on the port before making the connection.
z For AR 18-1x routers, you can only connect the LAN Switch to the 10/100Base-T port labeled as
MDIX, but there is no such restriction to AR 18-2x/18-3x routers, which support MDI/MDIX auto-
sensing.
Follow these steps to connect the Ethernet cable:

III. Connecting the AUX cable
Follow these steps to connect the AUX cable:
Step 1: Plug the RJ45 connector into the AUX port of the router.
Step 2: Plug the DB25 or DB9 connector to the serial interface of the analog Modem.
In general, the AUX port is used for remote configuration or dial-up backup. In order
to get connected to the remote device, the user should first connect the local Modem
to the remote Modem through PSTN..
3.7.2 Connecting the Multiprotocol Synchronous/Asynchronous Serial

Interface
I. Introduction to the multiprotocol synchronous/asynchronous serial

interface
Synchronous/Asynchronous serial interface is usually used for the connection with a

WAN device, like a Modem or CSU/DSU (Channel Service Unit/Data Service Unit).
Depending on the actual situation, it can work in synchronous/asynchronous mode or
DTE/DCE mode. Refer to Chapter 1 Router Overview for its attributes.
1) Synchronous/Asynchronous mode
The signaling standards supporting the synchronous and asynchronous modes are
different. V.35 and V.24 (RS232), X.21, RS449 and EIA-530 standards support
synchronous operating mode, while only V.24 (RS232) standard supports the
asynchronous operating mode. In addition, the maximum transmission distance and
baud rate of signal vary with the operating mode. See the following table for reference.
Table 3-1 Transmission rate and distance of V.24 (RS232)/V.35/X.21/RS449/EIA-530 cable

- - 2048000 30
Caution:
The baud rate should not exceed 64 kbps when the V.24 cable operates in synchronous mode.
2) DTE/DCE
Synchronous serial interface can operate in both DTE mode and DCE mode. For two
devices connected directly, one should operate as DTE, and the other as DCE. The
DCE provides a synchronous clock and specifies the transmission rate, the DTE
accepts the synchronous clock and communicates at the specified transmission rate.
Usually, the router serves as a DTE device. To determine whether the device
connected to the router is DTE or DCE, see the manual that came with that device.
Generally, the asynchronous serial interface is used as a dial-up port when connected
to an external Modem or Terminal Adapter (TA). In this case, it is unnecessary to
determine whether the device is DTE or DCE, and you just need to choose an
appropriate baud rate.
For the operating mode of the synchronous/asynchronous serial interface, refer to

VRP Operation Manual Volume I.
II. Synchronous/Asynchronous serial cable
The synchronous/asynchronous serial interface on the router is a DB50 receptacle.

Proper connection cable needs to be selected for the applied protocol. By far, 9 types
of synchronous/asynchronous serial cables are available. One end of all the 9 types
of cables is DB50 connector, but the other end (network end) varies with cable type:
z V.24 (RS232) DTE cable: DB25 (male) connector
z V.24 (RS232) DCE cable: DB25 (female) connector
z V.35 DTE cable: 34PIN (male) connector
z V.35 DCE cable: 34PIN (female) connector
z X.21 DTE cable: DB15 (male) connector
z X.21 DCE cable: DB15 (female) connector
z RS449 DTE cable: DB37 (male) connector

4.2 Configuration Fundamentals of the Router
4.2.1 Basic Configuration Steps
In general, the configuration steps are as follows:
Step 1: Before configuring a router, you should make the networking requirements
clear and specific, including networking purpose, the role of the router in the network,
division of subnets, WAN type and transmission medium, network security policy and
reliability.
Step 2: Draw a clear and integrated networking diagram.
Step 3: Configure the WAN interface of the router. First, according to the transmission
medium of the WAN, configure the physical operating parameters (e.g., the operating
mode of the serial interface, baud rate and synchronous clock) of the interface. For a
dial-up port, you need to configure the DCC parameters. Then, configure the link
layer protocol encapsulated on the interface and the related operating parameters
according to the WAN type.
Step 4: Configure the IP addresses or IPX network numbers of all the interfaces on
the router on the basis of subnet division.
Step 5: Configure the routes. If it is necessary to start the dynamic routing protocol,
you should also configure the related operating parameters for the protocol.
Step 6: If security is required, perform the security configuration for the router.
Step 7: If reliability is required, perform the reliability configuration for the router.
Please see VRP1.7 Operation Manual or VRP3 Operation Manual for detailed
introduction to the protocol and function configurations of the router.

4.2.2 Command Line Interface
I. Characteristics of the command line interface
The command line interface of Quidway Series Routers has a number of

configuration commands, which can be used to configure and manage the routers.
The command line interface has the following characteristics:
z Performing local configuration through CON port.
z Performing local or remote configuration through the telnet command, which can
be used to directly log on and manage other routers.
z Implementing configuration on the router through the dumb terminal (here, the
terminal refers to the asynchronous port, including the terminal connected to
AUX port).
z Configuring the hierarchical user protection (includes guest, operator,
administrator). Only administrator users are authorized to configure and manage
the routers, so that unauthorized users would not be able to intrude the router
illegally.
z Users can enter <?> at any time to get online help.
z Providing network diagnostic tools, such as Tracert and Ping, to quickly diagnose
the accessibility of the network.
z Providing all kinds of detailed debugging information to diagnose network faults.
z The command line interpreter adopts fuzzy search for the keywords of the
command. Thus, you only need to enter the conflict-free keyword for the
interpretation of a command. For example, for the interpretation of a display
command, you can just input ”dis”.
II. Command line interface
The command line interface of Quidway Series Routers provides plenty of

configuration commands. Hierarchical user protection is adopted to prevent
unauthorized users from intruding.
In the system view, to facilitate the router management, all the commands are
grouped. Each group associates with a view. Users can use these commands to
switch between different configuration views. Normally, only certain commands can
be executed under a certain configuration mode. But some commands in common
use (such as ping, display current-configuration, and interface) can be executed
in all views.
