This chapter illustrates the IPmux-11 configuration screens and explains their
parameters.
Menu trees of the IPmux-11 management software are shown in
Chapter 3 .
4.1 Configuration Sequence
There are four basic configuration steps that need to be followed when deploying
any IPmux unit:
1. IP configuration – Setting the device host IP address and the manager IP address.
2. Physical layer configuration – Setting the TDM parameters (line type, clocking,
etc.) according to the application requirements and topology.
3. Creating bundles – Allocating timeslots to bundles
4. Connecting bundles – Directing the bundles defined above to remote IPmux
unit.
IPmux-11 can be managed by a network management station that is located on
the LAN connected to the one of the unit’s Ethernet ports. In order to establish a
proper connection, it is necessary to configure IPmux with a basic configuration.
To perform preliminary IPmux configuration:
1. Connect an ASCII terminal to the RS-232 control port of IPmux.
2. Log in as Superuser (su).
3. Assign an IP address to IPmux.
4. Assign a subnet mask and a default gateway.
5. You can also enable or disable the IPmux DHCP client.
6. Set read, trap, and read/write communities to public.
7. Set a manager IP address and location.
8. Reset IPmux.
Make sure that you save your settings at each configuration screen. Note
