3.4 Configuration 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.
