Chapter 4 Configuration

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.
