Configuration Sequence 4-5
4.4 Connecting IPmux to the Management Station
IPmux can be managed by a Network Management Station (NMS) that is located
on the LAN (hub or switch) connected to the one of the unit’s Ethernet ports.
 To connect IPmux to the Network Management Station:
1. Connect a Network Management Station to the LAN (hub or switch).
2. Connect one of the IPmux’s Ethernet ports to the LAN.
4.5 Configuration Sequence
Several basic configuration steps need to be followed when deploying any IPmux
unit:
1. Preliminary IP Configuration – Setting the IPmux 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. This can be
accomplished via the supervisor terminal or via the Service Center. This
chapter demonstrates physical layer configuration using the Service Center.
3. Creating circuits / Configuring bundles – Assigning timeslots to bundles and
connecting bundles. This can be accomplished via the supervisor terminal or
graphically via the Service Center. This chapter demonstrates the graphical
creation of circuits using the Service Center.
IPmux 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 IPmux RS-232 control port.
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.
