Figure 1. Sample Scenario Using the KIV-7 for Type-1 Encryption

This document describes how to configure a KlasTA connected to a KIV-7 in order to manually dial a 128K connection using Bonding Mode 1 over a terrestrial ISDN line. Bonding Mode 1 is a standard protocol for multiplexing ISDN B-Channels over landline connections. Bonding Mode 1, however, has no error detection or recovery mechanisms and should not be used over a satellite connection. Follow the directions in the sections below outlining the steps from the KlasTA configuration wizard.

  2.0 Cable Connections

Prior to beginning, ensure the following cable connections have been properly secured:

  1. Power cord is plugged in and KlasTA is on.
  2. Control Port Cable is connected to the PCs serial port.
  3. Control Port Cable is connected to the ‘Control’ port on the front of the KlasTA.
  4. Black KIV-7 cable is connected to the male RS-530 connector of the KIV-7 and the female RS-530 synchronous serial port on the KlasTA.
  5. ISDN cables are connected to the RJ-45 ISDN Output Ports 1 and 2 from KlasTA and the RJ-45 S/T Input Ports on an ISDN NT1 device.

  3.0 Configure the KIV-7

The KIV-7 has a specific sequence of settings that allow it to encrypt data using the RS-530 serial data port.  Follow the instructions from Klas Application Note Q100002 in order to configure the KIV-7 so that it will work properly with KlasTA. Given the sensitive nature of Type-1 documentation, please contact a Klas Technical Support Representative for this Application Note.

  4.0 Configure KlasTA

Open the KlasTA configuration application on your PC.  Follow the steps below to configure KlasTA.

  1. Click on the ‘Configure’ button on the opening menu.

  1. Check the Encryption Device radio button and select KIV-7 as the Encryption Device from the pull-down menu. (Note: This parameter must be identical for the KlasTAs on both sides of the call.)

  1. Select the ‘Terrestrial’ radio button indicating you will be dialing from a landline connection.

Figure 5. KlasTA Network Type Screen

  1. Select the ‘Bonding Mode 1’ radio button indicating that both KlasTAs will be using the Bonding Mode 1 protocol.

Figure 6. KlasTA Bonding Mode Screen

  1. Select the ‘Dial and Answer’ radio button to enable KlasTA to initiate the dialing sequence. Also, check the ‘Dial when you click Manual Dial in the KlasTA config window’ radio button. This option specifies that KlasTA will only dial when you push the ‘Manual Dial’ button on the KlasTA Configuration Wizard Main Screen.

Figure 7. KlasTA Dial and Answer Screen

  1. Input the dial strings of the opposite KlasTA you would like to call. Since this is a 128K call, there are two 64K B-channels. Check the B2 box and then enter the two dial strings associate with each 64K channel. Ensure you type in ‘#’ after the last digit in the dial string indicating to the KlasTA that the last number has been dialed.

Figure 8. KlasTA Dial Parameters Screen

  1. Select the radio button next to the ISDN Switch-Type or D-Channel Protocol you are using, as shown in Figure 9 with the NI1/NI2 protocol. If NI1/NI2 or AT&T 5ESS is chosen, you must also enter the Service Profile Identifiers (SPIDs) associated the ISDN lines connected to KlasTA. SPIDs are assigned by your local Telecom Provider and are unique for each 64K channel.

  1. The Extra Config Commands screen allows you to enter manual commands that enable seldom used features. No extra configuration commands are needed for this setup.

  1. Review the configuration options to ensure they are correct and then click on the ‘Configure’ button to initiate the configuration sequence on the KlasTA.

Figure 11. KlasTA Configuration Summary Screen

  1. If required, KlasTA may initially erase and reflash the firmware needed to support Bonding Mode 1, as shown in Figure 12. Once the firmware change is complete, the configuration settings will be loaded into KlasTA, as shown in Figure 13. Click on the ‘OK’ button once the configuration sequence has successfully completed.
