Thank you for adding the CLAM to your networking environment. CLAM
revolutionises traditional networking by including the intelligence to self-
learn many parameters. You should find the CLAM easy to install and use,
especially if you follow the step-by-step instructions relevant to your CLAM
configuration in this “Easy Start” guide. When you become familiar with
the CLAM and its management as described in the EZ START GUIDE, the
REFERENCE MANUAL will provide more detailed information.
The physical installation should take place on a flat surface, in a clean, dry
location with no extreme temperatures. Make sure that all services needed
(power, LAN, ISDN, etc.) are within reach and are working correctly.
The CLAM can be located almost anywhere that is convenient for
connection to the power supply, the LAN and ISDN, as long as temperature
and humidity conditions are met. There should be an air gap above and on
all sides of the CLAM, to ensure that the maximum temperature limit is not
reached.
Parameter Specification
Power Supply (Europe and U.K.) 220-240V AC 50Hz (nominal)
Power Supply (North America) 100-125V AC 60Hz (nominal)
Supply Current 60 mA
Power Consumption 15 Watts
Operating Temperature 5 to 45 degrees C
Humidity 5% to 95% (non-condensing)
LAN Cable Maximum Length 100m
Before you start the installation:
MAKE SURE YOU HAVE EVERYTHING YOU NEED
The checklists in the following sections should help to make sure you have
everything you need for a successful first-time installation.

1. CHECKLISTS AND UNPACKING
1.1 YOUR
ISDN SERVICE CHECKLIST
If you wish to use ISDN to connect your CLAM to other devices, please
read this section for further details.
1.1.1 EUROPEAN
SERVICES
• Your ISDN circuit should conform to EURO-ISDN (otherwise known as
NET3 or iCTR3) standards.
• Each ISDN BRI (Basic Rate Interface) should terminate in a wall socket
RJ-45 interface.
• You should know the ISDN number(s) of your local and remote sites.
• If you require CLI (Calling Line Identification) for security, then order
the CLI option from your local carrier.
• If possible, order both B Channels to have the same ISDN number. This
is sometimes known as Auxiliary Working and can speed up connect
times.
1.1.2 NORTH
AMERICAN
SERVICES
In North America you must configure your ISDN BRI ports for the type of
switch your telephone company has in its local central office. Please see the
booklet Ordering Basic Rate ISDN (shipped with North American product
variants only) for full details. You need the following items of information
from your telephone company:
• Whether your line is configured in the standard National ISDN mode, or
in a manufacturer-specific “custom” mode.
• Whether the ISDN link is a Point-to-Point or a Multipoint interface.
• The type of switch: National ISDN2, AT&T 5ESS5, Northern Telecom
DMS-100/DMS-250, or Siemens EWSD.
• The local directory number(s) assigned to the line.
EZ
START
Issue 3.0 Page 5
• The SPIDs (Service Profile Identifiers) for the local directory number(s).
1.2 YOUR
NETWORK
CHECKLIST
The networks to be connected must be configured correctly. The following
sections list specific protocol requirements.
1.2.1 SPECIFIC
PROTOCOLS
SUPPORTED
When using ISDN, the CLAM has extra support for the following
protocols:
1. TCP/IP
2. Novell Netware IPX/SPX
3. Banyan Vines
4. pcAnywhere
IF YOU WISH TO USE ANY OTHER NETWORK PROTOCOLS,
PLEASE CONTACT YOUR SUPPLIER FOR ADVICE.
1.2.2 TCP/IP CHECKLIST
• All devices should have an established IP Address (usually defined by the
network administrator).
• An IP Address must be assigned to the CLAM itself (usually defined by
the network administrator).
• The Network or sub-network numbers must be the same on the local and
remote networks to be bridged.
1.2.3 NOVELL
NETWARE
CHECKLIST
• Devices on the local site and the remote sites will require the same Novell
External Network Numbers.
EZ
START
Page 6 Issue 3.0
• For each External Network Number, the Frame Type must be the same at
the local and the remote sites.
1.2.4 BANYAN
VINES
CHECKLIST
• One of the two networks to be bridged must have a Banyan server/router
installed.
• The workstation software should preferably be of the same revision as the
server to which it will connect.
1.2.5 PCANYWHERE CHECKLIST
• Confirm that you are running pcAnywhere over Novell IPX.
• Devices on the local site and the remote sites will require the same Novell
External Network Numbers.
• For each External Network Number, the Frame Type must be the same at
the local and the remote sites.

1.3 PACKAGING
CHECKLIST
Please check that the following items came in your CLAM Bridge package:
•One CLAM Bridge
•One PSU (Power Supply Unit - 9V DC output) with jack plug

1.3.1 FITTING
RUBBER OR VELCRO FEET
The CLAM may be fitted either with rubber feet for free-standing use or
Velcro feet for attaching the CLAM to a workbench or to the side of a PC.
On the underside of the CLAM are four marked circles. If rubber feet are
to be fitted, peel off the backing from each foot and press the sticky side of
each foot into the middle of a marked circle. Velcro feet are fitted in the
same way: peel off the backing of the Velcro feet, and press the sticky side
of each foot into the middle of a marked circle.
Screw Location
The Velcro pad on which the CLAM is to stand should fit on a clean surface
free of dust. Peel off the backing, and press the pad firmly into place.
