workstation connected to the Optimux-34 via the management ports.
Managing a Local Optimux-34 via the ETH Management Port
The configuration of Optimux-34 is performed via menu-driven embedded
software, using a standard ASCII terminal or PC running a terminal emulation
application connected to the CONTROL port. Alternatively, you can manage
Optimux-34 over Telnet, a PC running a Web browsing application or RADview
application via the MNG-ETH port.
³ To prepare Optimux-34 for network management:
1. Connect a LAN network management station to one of the Optimux-34
Ethernet ports.
2. Configure the Management Host parameters of the Optimux-34 units via an
ASCII terminal.
3. Run an SNMP management application, such as RAD’s RADview, or open a
Telnet session (for example, Windows Start menu | Run | Telnet
