4-2 Overview
Guidelines for Configuring IPmux Units
Certain guidelines are relevant to this application. In general, there are four basic
configuration steps (described below) that need to be followed when deploying
any IPmux unit.
1. IP Configuration – Setting the device host IP address and the manager IP
address.
For IPmux-16 it is necessary to define three IP addresses:
• For out-of-band management traffic (optional)
• For TDMoIP traffic via Ethernet port 1
• For TDMoIP traffic via Ethernet port 2.
 The IP network can consist of either switches or routers. The minimum
requirement is 10 Mbps full duplex.
 An IPmux should be configured with a default gateway/next hop address if
a routed network is used.
 The manager IP address is used to manage the agent by the network
management station.
2. Physical layer configuration – Setting the TDM parameters (line type, clocking,
etc.) according to the application requirements and topology.
 TDM traffic will be sent between the central IPmux-16 and the two remote
IPmux-11 units at Station A and Station B over the IP network.
 The TDM traffic can be either generated by a BER tester connected to the
IPmux units or by a PBX. A remote local loop can be used on the remote
IPmux units in order to avoid the need for an additional BER tester.
3. Creating bundles – Allocating timeslots to bundle/s
4. Connecting bundles – Directing the bundles, defined above, to remote IPmux
units.
