3.4Configuration Alternatives

If required, IPmux-11 can be reconfigured. The IPmux-11 configuration and monitoring operations are performed using any of the following tools:

•ASCII terminal connected to supervisory port

•ConfiguRAD, a Web-based management system, using a Web browser running on a PC connected to the network

•RADview, an SNMP based management system with a graphical user interface. See RADview SC/TDMoIP User's Manual for details.

Detailed configuration procedures are given in Chapter 4.

The following functions are supported by the IPmux-11 management software:

•Viewing system information

•Modifying configuration and mode of operation, including setting system default values

•Monitoring IPmux-11 performance

•Initiating diagnostic tests

•Uploading and downloading software and configuration files.

Working with Terminal

To start a terminal control session:

1.Make sure all IPmux-11 cables and connectors are properly connected.

2.Connect IPmux-11 to a PC equipped with an ASCII terminal emulation application (for example, Windows Hyper Terminal or Procomm).

3.Turn on the control terminal PC and set its port parameters to 115.2 kbps,

8 bits/character, 1 stop bit, no parity. Set the terminal emulator to ANSI VT100 emulation (for optimal view of system menus).

4.When the initialization and self-test are over, a menu appears displaying initialization and self-test results. If problems are encountered, refer to Chapter 6 for troubleshooting instructions.

Login

To prevent unauthorized modification of the operating parameters, IPmux-11 supports two access levels: .

•Superuser can perform all the activities supported by the IPmux-11 management facility, including defining new users.

•User’s access rights (full control or read only) are defined by the superuser. Users are not allowed to create new users.

To enter as a superuser:

1.Enter su for user name.

2.Enter 1234 for password.

This allows you to configure all the parameters of IPmux-11, and to change the su and user passwords.
