3.4 Configuration and Management Alternatives
After installation, there are no special operating procedures for Optimux-108.
Once it is powered up, the unit operates automatically. The unit operational
status can be monitored constantly.
If required, Optimux-108 can be reconfigured. Optimux-108 can be managed
using different ports and applications:
• Local out-of-band management via an ASCII terminal connected to the
RS-232 port. Usually, preliminary configuration of the system parameters is
performed via ASCII terminal. Once the Optimux-108 host IP parameters are
set, it is possible to access it via Telnet, ConfiguRAD or RADview for further
configuration.
• Remote management via Ethernet management port. Remote management is
performed using Telnet, or ConfiguRAD (RAD’s Web-based application), or
RADview-PC/TDM and RADview-HPOV/TDM (RAD’s SNMP-based management
systems). Alternatively, Optimux-108 can be managed via a third-party SNMP-
based NMS.
Optimux-108 allows up to three management sessions to be active at a time. This
includes up to two network sessions (Telnet or ConfiguRAD) and one ASCII
terminal session. When connected via Telnet or Web, the user is disconnected
after 10 minutes of inactivity (no keyboard input on the client computer).
The following functions are supported by the Optimux-108 management
software
:
• Viewing system information (Inventory)
• Modifying configuration and mode of operation, including setting system
default values and resetting the unit
• Monitoring Optimux-108 performance
• Initiating loopback tests (Diagnostic)
• Uploading and downloading software and configuration files.
Working with Terminal
Optimux-108 has a V.24/RS-232 asynchronous DCE port, designated CONTROL
and terminated in a 9-pin D-type female connector. The control port continuously
monitors the incoming data stream and immediately responds to any input string
received through this port.
The Optimux-108 control port can be configured to communicate at the following
rates: 9.6, 19.2, 38.4, 57.6 or 115.2 kbps.
