3.4 Getting Started

After installation, there are no special operating procedures for IPmux-16. Once it

is powered up, the unit operates automatically. Proper operation is indicated by

the front-panel LED indicators (Figure 3-1 and Figure 3-2). The unit operational

status can be monitored constantly.

If required, the IPmux-16 can be reconfigured. Both the IPmux-16 configuration

and monitoring operations are performed locally from an ASCII terminal, Telnet or

NMS connected to the Control Port. Detailed configuration procedures are given

later in this chapter. The following functions are supported:

• View system information

• Modify configuration and mode of operation, including setting system default

values

• View statistics and status

• Perform diagnostics.

IPmux-16 configuration and system monitoring, including troubleshooting

procedures, can also be performed from a remote site using a Telnet application or

RADview (RAD’s HP OpenView based SNMP).

Telnet and the local terminal cannot work simultaneously.
