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.

Note Make sure that you save your settings at each configuration screen.
