Installation and setup

2.1 Introduction

IPmux-1/1E is delivered completely assembled for bench-top installation. The only mechanical installation procedures that may be necessary are optional installation in a 19-in rack. For rack installation instructions refer to the Rack Mounting Kit for 19-inch Racks guide that comes with the RM kit.

After installing the unit, configure IPmux-1/1E using an ASCII terminal connected to the IPmux-1/E Control port, or Telnet or RADview TDMoIP management application. The IPmux-1/1E configuration procedures are described in Chapter 3 and Appendix E of this manual. Configuration parameters are explained in Appendix E.

If problems are encountered, refer to Chapter 4 for test and diagnostics instructions.

No internal settings, adjustment, maintenance and repairs may be performed by either the operator or the user; such activities may be performed only by

skilled service personnel who are aware of the hazards involved.

Warning Always observe standard safety precautions during installation, operation, and maintenance of this product.

2.2 Site Requirements and Prerequisites

Install AC-powered IPmux-1/1E units within 1.5m (5 feet) of an easily-accessible grounded AC outlet capable of furnishing the required supply voltage, in the range of 100 to 240 VAC.

DC-powered IPmux-1 units require a 48 VDC power source. The positive pole can be earthed.
