Dsxpnm Serial Interface



  1. Jan 23, 2008 Serial WAN Interface Card LEDs Each serial WIC has one LED, labeled CONN for each port, which lights when the serial port is connected. When the port is in DTE mode, the CONN LED indicates that Data Send Ready (DSR), Data Carrier Detect (DCD), and Clear To Send (CTS) have been detected.
  2. The errors seem to go both ways on serial 1 and are a mix of errors, both ways. As your ISP to provide a loop at demarc at both istes and check if the errors still happen. If you're error-free then their line is bad. The second serial (serial 2 to serial 6) shows serial 6 clean and serial 2 abort.
Every network admin is going to have trouble with network links on a Cisco router, at one point or another. The best way to troubleshoot any networking issues is to use the OSI model and go layer by layer. In my article How to use the OSI Model to Troubleshoot Networks, we talked about the different troubleshooting approaches and how to use them to troubleshoot your network, in general. In this article, you will find out how to use the OSI model to troubleshoot, bottom up, using a Cisco router.
OSI Model – Bottom Up Troubleshooting
If you will recall, the OSI model starts with the physical layer (layer 1) and goes up to layer 7 (application). When troubleshooting with a Cisco router, much of your time will be spent working in layers 1-3. They are:

  • Layer 3 – Network
  • Layer 2 – Data Link
  • Layer 1 – Physical
Because these layers build on each other, Layer 1 is most critical, without layer 1, layer 2 will not function. Without layer 1 & 2, layer 3 will not function, and so on. For this reason, I start troubleshooting at layer 1, physical, and move on up from there.
Router Troubleshooting at OSI Layer 1 & 2 – Physical & Data link
Remember, if Layer 1 isn’t up, nothing else will work so make sure you start here. Examples of layer 1 are your T1 circuit or your Ethernet cable – physical connectivity. I usually troubleshoot layer 1 and layer 2 in union because they are so closely paired. Examples of layer 2 – data link – are your line protocol (such as Ethernet, ATM, 802.11, PPP, frame-relay, HDLC, or PPP).
To troubleshoot at these layers, the first thing I would do on your router is a show interface. Here is an example of a LAN Gigabit Ethernet circuit:
Router# show interface

Router# show ip interface brief
Interface IP-Address OK? Method Status Protocol
GigabitEthernet0/0 10.20.100.1 YES NVRAM up up
Serial3/0 10.2.100.2 YES NVRAM up up
  • Is the interface UP?
  • Is the line protocol UP?
  • If both the interface and line protocol are NOT up, your connection is never going to work.
  • To resolve a line down, I look at the cable or the keepalives
  • To resolve a line protocol down, check to make sure that the protocols match on each side of the connection(notice the “line protocol” on each of the interfaces above).
  • Are you taking input, CRC, framing, or other errors on the line (notice how the serial interface above does show errors)? If so, check your cable or contact your provider.
In general, verify that you have a good cable on each side, verify that line protocols match, and that clocking settings are correct.
If this is an Ethernet connection, is there a link light on the switch?
If this is a serial connection, do you have an external CSU/DSU? If it is an external CSU, check that the Carrier Detect (CD) light & data terminal ready (DTR) lights are on. If not, contact your provider. This also applies if you have an internal Cisco WIC CSU card. If that is the case, take a look at this Cisco link on understanding the lights on that card.
You can, of course, use the Cisco IOS test commands to test your network interfaces with internal staff and with your telecommunications providers.
Do not proceed to upper level layers until your Physical interface on the router shows as being UP and your line protocol is UP. Until then, don’t worry about IP addressing, pinging, access-lists or anything like that.
Once you have Layers 1 & 2 working (your show interface command shows the line is “UP & UP”, it is time to move on to layer 3 – the OSI Network layer. The easiest thing to do here to see if layer 3 is working is to ping the remote side of the LAN or WAN link from this router. Make sure you ping as close as possible to the router you are trying to communication with – from one side across to the other side.
Router# ping 10.2.100.2
Type escape sequence to abort.
Sending 5, 100-byte ICMP Echos to 10.2.100.2, timeout is 2 seconds:
!!!!!
Success rate is 100 percent (5/5), round-trip min/avg/max = 1/2/4 ms
Router#
Router#
Router#
Router#
Router# ping 1.1.1.1
Type escape sequence to abort.
Sending 5, 100-byte ICMP Echos to 1.1.1.1, timeout is 2 seconds:
…..
Success rate is 0 percent (0/5)
Router#
The easiest way to check the status of Layer 3 – the network layer – is to do a show ip interface brief, as I did above. Here is an example:
Router# show ip interface brief
Interface IP-Address OK? Method Status Protocol
GigabitEthernet0/0 10.20.100.1 YES NVRAM up up
Serial3/0 10.2.100.2 YES NVRAM up up
Notice the IP addressing on each of these interface. Also do a show running-config, like this (you can even specify an interface, like this):
Router# show running-config int serial3/0
Building configuration…
Current configuration : 225 bytes
!
interface Serial3/0
description Sprint T3
bandwidth 9000
ip address 10.2.100.2 255.255.255.252
no ip proxy-arp
no ip mroute-cache
dsu mode 1
dsu bandwidth 9000
no cdp enable
end
I would recommend taking this interface configuration and comparing it, side by side, with the remote WAN connection to ensure they are the same. Ask yourself questions like:
  • Are these interfaces on the same IP network?
  • Do these interfaces have the same subnet mask?
  • Are there any access-lists (ACL) that are blocking your traffic?
  • Can you remove all optional IP features to make sure that the basic configuration works before adding additional features that could be causing trouble?
Here is an example. Look at the two interfaces below. What is the real problem, causing these two to not communicate?
interface Serial3/0 description Sprint T3 – TO ROUTER 2 bandwidth 9000 ip address 10.2.100.2 255.255.255.252
interface Serial3/0 description Sprint T3 – TO ROUTER 1 bandwidth 1500 ip address 10.2.100.5 255.255.255.252
No, there is no problem with the bandwidth statement. Bandwidth statements are only used as comments and by routing protocols to select the best route. The real problem here is that the second router’s serial interface is not on the same IP subnet as router #1. Even though they have the same subnet, the 10.2.100.5 IP address will never be able to communicate to the 10.2.100.2 IP address because they are on different networks but directly connected.
Let’s say that you are now able to ping across the link, from one side to another. While that is a great sign, it doesn’t always mean that everything is “fixed”. You still may not be able to communicate from a client on the LAN of one router, to a client on the LAN of another router, due to things like improperly configured IP routing protocols.
For one LAN to communicate to another LAN, through routers (through a WAN, usually), you MUST have either static routes or dynamic routes configured. To ensure you have a route configured for the network you are trying to reach, do:
and look at
For troubleshooting layers 3, all the way up, look at the output of this command:

Network address translation is enabled, interface in domain inside

WCCP Redirect inbound is disabled
WCCP Redirect exclude is disabled
BGP Policy Mapping is disabled
Now, let’s say that you have made it to the point where you can ping from LAN to LAN, through your WAN. Congratulations – that is a very good sign. If you are still having trouble, it must be in OSI Layers4-7. Here are those layers listed out and possible issues you might experience in each layer:
  • Layer 4 – Transport – in the transport layer are TCP and UDP – you could be have an ACL or QoS feature blocking or slowing this traffic. Your TCP traffic could also be fragmented to the point that it could not be reassembled. Another option is that you may not be receiving an ACK back from your traffic that was successfully sent.
  • Layer 5 – Session – in the session layer are protocols like SQL, NFS, SMB, or RPC – you could be taking errors on any one of these session protocols. I would recommend using a protocol analyzer like Wireshark to analyze your session data.
  • Layer 6 – Presentation – in the Presentation layer are data encryption, compression, and formatting – your VPN tunnel could be failing or perhaps you are sending one type of data (like a MPEG) and the receiver is trying to view it as a WMV file.
  • Layer 7 – Application – in the Application layer are, of course, your applications like FTP, HTTP, SCP, TFTP, TELNET, SSH, and more – you could be trying to connect to a telnet server with the SSH protocol, for example.
  • Layer 8 – End User – the standing joke is that “Layer 8” is the user – the user could be just mistyping their username or password or you, the network admin, could have been troubleshooting the wrong IP address all along.
In summary, using the OSI model to troubleshoot connectivity issues is the fastest and most efficient way to troubleshoot any network issue. Even if someone calls you to work on a Windows share problem, all of the same principles in this article apply to that troublesooting process. So remember, the next time you work on a network issue – remember the OSI model and how to use the bottom-up approach to troubleshooting! It could same you a while lot of time!

RWS-150/15/28 Installation Instructions

The DSX-LAN-D is the latest in LAN communications interface and can replace all older DSX-LAN modules. The DSX-IP-HUB is a communication distribution module allowing the Master to Communicate with the Slave Controllers via IP without the use of PC Master Software. These units are programmed with a web browser. They have a default IP address of 192.168.1.25. The Links below are to the installation and configuration documents. These new LAN-D and HUB modules require the TX and RX Ports to be the same in both the software and module.

DSX-LAN. The Link below will allow you to download the following files for programming the DSX-LAN Module: IPSetup.exe, LanModuleSerialSetup.exe, LanMod2.pdf.

DSX-LAN-M configuration - Here are the instructions for the DSX-LAN-M

Below is a link to the DSX Cable Specifications. Using the specified cables will prevent many problems. These are the cable specifications for all generations of DSX Hardware. Please see the link below for specific cables required for communications, readers & keypads, locks, inputs, transformers, elevators and LAN. These specified or equivalent cables are the only ones DSX will support. These are the cables tested with the system and approved by UL. 'CAT_5'CAT 5/6 cable should only be used for network connections to the DSX-LAN module. IT SHOULD NEVER be used for anything else. It will not function properly for panel communications. DSX Cable Specifications

No Communication to the Master Controller can be due to several errors in configuration among other things such as firewalls. In WinDSX it is important to check these items:
a. There must be a Device 0 defined under Devices. In Location/Numeric Options Tab/ Connect Type must be Direct for all LAN, USB, and Serial Communications.
b. There must be a unique Comm Port defined. For LAN communications the Port Type must be LAN TCP/IP, The IP Address must match that of the LAN module.
c. The Transmit Port (TXIP Port) must match the Receive Port of the LAN Module. The Receive Port (RX IP Port) is typically 0 but if defined must match the Transmit Port of the LAN module (LAN-D’s require this). Please see configuration examples in LAN module instructions for more information on how to apply these settings correctly.


“Error 9” when trying to edit System Parameters or Location. This is caused by the increased number of regional time zones in Windows. Accommodations for Microsoft’s time zone structuring have been provided in our latest software releases. The problem is corrected with WinDSX 3.7.139 and higher.

“Operation Must Use an Updateable Query” is typically caused by inadequate Windows permissions to the files in the target Path to Database. Usually seen when adding Workstation PC’s to an existing system. Logon must have full permission over local (where the software is installed at the client) and shared WinDSX folders and subfolders.

“TCP/IP Lost” or “Comm Loss” in the Red Box in the lower right corner of Workstation indicates one of two things.
a. The IP Address found in DataBase/Setup/System Parameters/Comm Server Tab does not match the IPv4 address set in Windows. These must match. If changed, the Comm Server Program cs.exe or Service DSXComm must be restarted.
b. There is a Firewall or Port Blocked. WS.exe (workstation) uses TCP and Port 22223 to communicate with the Comm Server program CS.exe.

Time Zone Linking - Software Versions 3.7/4.7 and higher have a new feature that allows Time Zone Linking. This new linking logic will only work if all of the controllers in the location are of 1040 Series, 1022, or 1032 controllers with the 1030PR5 retrofit processor. All controllers in the location will require firmware V3129 or higher. This feature cannot be used if any of the controllers are of the old style 1030 Series or 1021. The 3.7/4.7 versions also require new updated versions of PC Master and Soft I/O.


History file getting too large? In WinDSX you can configure how many days to keep in the history logs of your system. In the Access Version it is Set on the Comm Server in the WinDSX folder - WinDSXRunDataDb_Settings.txt and in WinDSX SQL it is located in Setup/System Parameters/Comm Server Tab. In both cases you are setting the number of days of history to be stored.

With Firmware Versions 3098 and higher (for 1040/1022 Controllers) and 569 and higher (for 1030/1021 Controllers) multiple device types can now be used (stacked) simultaneously on the same reader. In the past, some Device Types such as D5 had multiple compatibilities. D5 would decode standard 26 bit, DSX-33 bit, and DSX-37 bit. With the newer firmware Multiple Device Types can be implemented (Stacked) by assigning separate Device Type technologies to Device 0, Device 1, Device 2, and so on..
a. If you are using the multiple compatibility of an existing Device Type and you upgrade the firmware/flash in the controller(s), or once a new controller (containing the new firmware/flash) has been added to the system, it will be necessary to assign all of the Device Types required to the various Devices in the system.
b. If you require more Device Types than you have Devices, you can simply add an additional Device and give it the Device Type you require even though there will not actually be a controller with that address.
c. You cannot assign two different Device Types that are of the same bit length. This means that you cannot have more than 1 device type of the same bit length programmed in the system. There cannot be two different 26 bit formats or two different 37 bit formats in the Device List. It is ok to have the same Device Type more than once.
d. Once the different Device Types required have been addressed with the first few devices in the list, the rest of the devices can have the same Device Type.
e. This feature only applies to Wiegand Formats. It cannot be used for Clock and Data formats. Clock and Data formats are typically, but not always used for Magnetic Stripe and Barcode type readers.
f. The most common device types used for the Cards sold by DSX sells are: WE-26bit, D5-33bit, K0-35bit, L5-37bit.

Dsxpnm Serial Interface App


DSX Flash.exe will shut down if an attempt to log on is made before the files have been properly copied to the WinDSX folder as directed in the “How to Flash.txt” file included in the Flash update zip file. Once in the folder check Setup/System Parameters and make sure the flash login and password are what you want them to be. Once in the Flash program you may need to go to Setup/Port Setup and under IP Port enter 127.0.0.1 for the IP Address if it is not there.

127.0.0.1 is a default TCP/IP address that can be programmed into WinDSX if not connected to a network, or if on a network but no other PC’s are to run the workstation portion of WinDSX. For proper operation including printing of any sort from WinDSX, each Workstation PC must have a unique Workstation Name and Workstation #. · Make sure a printer driver is loaded into the operating system. WinDSX software needs a printer driver installed before reports can be run. A printer is only needed if you want to print the reports to paper.

If the PC is not beeping on alarms, check Database/System Parameters/Yes/No Options/ “Enable Beep on Alarm”. This will control whether or not WAV sounds will play. Also, be sure Default Beep has been selected within the Operating System/Control Panel/Sounds. Also make sure in Workstation that the Alarm Window (bottom scrolling window) is open so you can see alarms.

The WinDSX Comm Server program, cs.exe, can be run as a service in Version 3.7.34 and 4.8.6 and higher. The procedure and files necessary to do so are on the Software Installation Drive in the Utilities folder. Make sure and copy just the files into WinDSX and not the folder they are contained in.

Masking or not displaying the last User Name on the Login screen as per the software installation manual only applies to the database program. To prevent the Workstation program from displaying the last user name, it must be auto-started from DataBase. With the placement of the GOV.exe into the shared WinDSX folder the software will lockout an operator that makes three invalid attempts. Newer software requires the password to be at least 6 characters.

Multiple iterations of the same event showing in workstation has been determined to be caused by more than one Comm Server (cs.exe) running in a system. In Newer Software two Comm Servers result in Location Comm Loss Alarms that immediately restore. Go to DataBase/Software Registration/Workstations to find all of the PCs running the DSX Software.

Regional Time Zone and Daylight Savings Time settings. WinDSX has the ability to set each location’s Regional Time Zone and enable or disable daylight savings time (under Location in the database). The same is true for each workstation (under System/Setup/System Parameters). If used, these options must be set for each location and each workstation. Enable and set these everywhere. If not what you may see is that Workstation displays the correct time but events from the controllers may show up with the wrong time. Doors may not lock or unlock when they should. You may not be able to Edit or Add cards.

Password Profile restrictions for I/O and Device Overrides not only apply to operator manipulation of Inputs, Outputs, and Devices but to Scheduled Overrides and Linking Level Assignments. To Assign a Linking Level to a Card Holder the operator must have a profile that gives the operator all the points the Linking Level/Linking Groups includes.

On an Elevator Control System with code to output linking turned on at a particular device, the LED on the card reader does not change state on access granted unless the option 'Link Granted Events to Output 1' is set to “Yes” under Device.

Card Holders that are marked as a Visitor cannot have an access level or linking level assigned unless those levels have been defined (checked) as “Can be assigned to Visitors” on the general tab.

Combinations of Code numbers that are HEX and DECIMAL values cannot be entered into WinDSX in a combination of formats. Once we turn on “Codes are HEX Values” then ALL code numbers MUST be entered into WinDSX as HEX values. Use Windows>Calculator in scientific mode and convert decimals to HEX. If codes are listed on cross reference sheets as decimal form and the “Codes are HEX Values” is checked, then the decimal code number MUST be converted to HEX and then entered into WinDSX using the HEX value.

The Time Zones that are being linked to cannot be assigned to what is initiating the link. In other words – What links to the Time Zone cannot be controlled by the Time Zone. Build as many Time Zones as necessary to make sure that when you link to a Time Zone it only affects those things you want affected. Re-using Time Zones could cause something to be controlled from a Link that was not desired. If you link to a Time Zone with a Latch response you must have another Linking Group that links to that same Time Zone with a response of Time Zone.

ASCII output from a Comm port on a Workstation is only used for Live Video Camera Control such as pan, tilt, zoom. ASCII output for alarm or status change on an input for camera call up will only work from the Communications Server. ASCII out can now be sent via UDP as well as Serial.

The Log.mdb file, which contains all the transaction history, should be kept between 50 and 100 megabytes in size. When this file becomes too large it can cause History reports to run slowly, or not run at all. In some cases, even the Delete Records option(s) in the Backup History section may not work correctly. One solution is to close the WinDSX program, copy the Log.mdb file to another folder, then delete the original Log.mdb. The copied file will still be available for History reports prior to this procedure. But if the size of the file is too large, reports may still be questionable. When WinDSX is started again, a new Log.mdb will be created. It will start recording history from Comm Server as of the date and time this procedure was done.

The abort delay option will only delay the reporting of an Alarm condition for an input. It will NOT delay the reporting of a Trouble condition for an input.

When 'Use input 7 & 8', 'Door Open detect relock', and 'Exit request unlocks Output 1' under Devices are all set to no, Input 7 can still trigger the PreWarn. It doesn't really matter because once the input 7 has been disassociated with the door the prewarn should not be used.

When you are using two devices to control the same door Connect the output 1 of 1 device to the input 8 of the other device. Connect the Lock and DPS to the same device that has the REX connected to the other Device Output 1. Use the Hardware Installation Manual for a diagram and programming information.

Cat5/6 cable cannot be used for anything in the WinDSX system except for a network connection to a PC or LAN module.

The DSX-1030PR5 Intelligent Processor is used to upgrade existing DSX-1032, 1033, 1034 Intelligent Controllers. Mounts in metal enclosure that existing 1030P comes out of with 4 existing screws. The DSX-1030PR5 has 512K of Flash ROM and 512K of RAM. Must be revised I/O that has the row of diagnostic LEDS lower mid section.

No Lock power from a DSX-1042 could be caused by the fire override having an open condition on the Fire Override input of the 1040-PDM. Place a short across the input and lock power should restore for locks 1-8. A closed circuit from the Fire Alarm System can also be connected to the Fire Override input. This circuit should go “open” on a fire alarm condition.

There is no +5 VDC on a DSX-1042 Intelligent Controller reader port. Use caution when wiring readers to the 1042 panel. Readers will not work if they are wired improperly. However, there is 5VDC @ .375amps available on the 1040-CDM for 5 volt devices.

On the 1040-CDM, jumpers 1 & 2 should be set properly to indicate if there is a Master Controller, (dip switch 8 on) within that enclosure. Jumpers connected to the 2 left pins = all controllers in this enclosure are Slaves. Jumpers connected to the right 2 pins = a Master controller exists within this enclosure.

If there appears to be no control of relays on a DSX-1043 Intelligent Controller, make sure it is defined with a Device Type of “OR”. Also, make sure there is a short between the Relay Override input terminals near the center of the Controller. These were pins 24-25 on older 1043’s, pins 50-51 on newer 1043’s.

What Is A Serial Interface

The 150/15 power supply, intended to provide power for all 1040 Series Intelligent Controllers, must not be used to provide lock power as well. A separate power supply must be used for lock power.

When troubleshooting a reader on a 1042 panel, take the reader to the DSX panel and terminate it directly to the reader port. If the reader works fine at the panel, check the field wire for ground faults and shorts. If there are no faults or shorts on the wire, contact DSX Technical Support.

All unused inputs on all DSX Intelligent Controllers must be terminated with 1K resistors except for the DSX-1033 and 1043 Output Controllers.

Communications loss when relay outputs are cycled (energized or de-energized) is commonly due to a counter EMF spike. Counter EMF spike is best described as the collapsing of the magnetic field when a coil is de-energized. When a door strike or maglock is powered down. The magnetic field collapses and the energy must go somewhere. It is important to switch positive power to the coil driven device and keep the ground to that device constant and place an MOV across the connections from your wire to the device. This allows the MOV to activate when the field spikes to high and shunt the energy to the ground wire right at the device. Troubleshooting this is simple. Cycle one or more relays up to 50 times or until the comm. loss occurs. Then remove the wiring from the relays you are testing and cycle them again and this time there should be no comm. losses. Try the same test again once you have wired the device with a constant ground and an MOV. Use different MOVs for 12 and 24V locks.
