Overview
This chapter describes how to configure statistical multiplexer settings. Models 3034/3038 with the Trinity
platform offer terminal ports on the back of the device.
Configuration Overview
Models 3034/3038 can act as a statistical multiplexer when configured in conjunction with another 3034/
3038. When using two 3034/3038s as statistical multiplexers, one device must be configured as the master and
one as the slave. Typically, the 3034/3038 installed at the remote site should be configured in slave mode, while
the 3034/3038 installed at the local site should be configured in master mode.
In master mode, the IP address of the remote 3034/3038 must be specified and a TCP/UDP port number is
optional. If the port number is not specified, the default value is used. For example, for serial interface 1, the
default port is 30001.
In slave mode, the port is also optional but the port number used on the slave must match the port configured
on the master. Like master mode, if the port number is not specified, the default value is used.

In the figure above, an example configuration for the master and slave units is shown here for establishing a
connection between port 0 of the master and slave units for reference:
