Chapter 1: Introduction Chapter 1. Introduction Thank you for choosing the FMUX04. If you would like to skip right to the installation and configuration of the Multiplexer, proceed to Chapters 2 and 3. This manual is used to explain the installation and operating procedures for the FMUX04, 4 Port Fiber Optical E1/T1 Multiplexer, and present its capabilities and specifications. This manual is divided into 5 Chapters, the Introduction, Installation, Operation, Loop Back Testing and SNMP chapters.
Chapter 1: Introduction When configured for E1 operation, the 4 channels of the FMUX04 may use either BNC (75 Ohm unbalanced) or RJ-45 (120 Ohm balanced) connectors for E1 Line interface connections. Each separate E1 channel supports a transmission rate of 2.048Mb/s (transparent unframed E1) each. When configured for T1 operation, the 4 channels of the FMUX04 will use four RJ-45 (100 Ohm balanced) connectors for T1(DS1) Line interface connections.
Chapter 1: Introduction When the FMUX04 is ordered with optional Order Wire, a hardware card is installed inside the unit. The front panel's RJ-11 jack provides a "hot line" between the two FMUX04 units in the link. Standard telephones may be connected to the RJ-11 jacks and when a phone is taken "off hook", the remote side will automatically ring. Once answered, both parties may talk normally.

Chapter 4. SNMP Chapter 4. SNMP 4.1 General The Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is one of many protocols in the Internet Protocol (IP) suite. SNMP is the protocol recommended specifically for the exchange of management information between hosts residing on IP networks. Network management allows you to monitor and control network devices remotely using conventional computer network technology.
Chapter 4. SNMP The MIB includes the definitions of relevant managed objects (MIB variables) for the specific node. Various MIB's can be defined for various management purposes, types of equipment, etc. The management data itself is a collection of integer, string and MIB address variables that contain all the information necessary to manage the node. A leaf object's definition includes the range of instances (values) and the "access" rights: Read-only Instances of an object can be read, but cannot be set.
Chapter 4. SNMP In general, SNMP agents support two types of access rights: Read-only the SNMP agent accepts and processes only SNMP getRequest and getNextRequest commands from management stations which have a read-only community name. Read-write the SNMP agent accepts and processes all the SNMP commands received from a management station with a read-write community name. SNMP agents are usually configured to send traps to management stations having read-write communities. 4.
Chapter 4. SNMP 4.6.1 Configure the SNMP Agent From the 'SNMP Configuration' menu select "1", SNMP Agent Configuration. LOCAL << SNMP Agent Configuration >> 1. IP Address 2. Subnet Mask 3. Gateway IP [172. 24. 1. 11] [255.255. 0. 0] [172. 24.190.254] Press to previous menu. Item number 1, IP address is the IP address that the SNMP card will answer to when "pinged", Telnet'd, TFTP'd or when accessed by SNMP. Item number 2, is the subnet mask for the network that the card is attached to.
Chapter 4. SNMP The manager configuration has the ability to setup access for up to four (4) different management workstations. The community strings act like passwords in dealing with the device via SNMP protocol. By changing the community strings (numbered 1 & 2) for read / write ('secret' in this case) and read only ('public') access, and assigning a community string to an access IP, an administrator can control access to the FMUX04.

Chapter 4. SNMP CTC Union provides a TFTP utility program that runs standalone in Windows® without any installation. We recommend that you copy the program and any binary image files for upload to your Windows® desktop for convenience sake. If you place the binary files and server program in the same directory, there is no need to enter any path information in the SNMP agent. This simplifies the settings considerably, just enter the binary filename in the TFTP filename location in the SNMP agent.
Chapter 4. SNMP 4.7 MIB File A MIB is a "management information base" file that allows network management software understand how to manage the FMUX04. Management software could be expensive packages of software such as HP OpenView® and Computer Associates Unicenter® or inexpensive MIB browsers such as those from MG-Soft. Additionally, Linux and unix type operationg systems also have SNMP utilities that allow utilizing the MIB file to access the device agent with SNMP protocol.
Chapter 4. SNMP 4.8 Web Based Interface When the FMUX04 is installed with the SNMP option, the unit has the added management features of Telnet, SNMP and HTTP server. The HTTP server allows connection and configuration in a graphical, point and click environment using any standard web browser. 4.8.1 Security Login To connect to the FMUX04 use the device's IP address as the URL location. For example with our setup unit, enter http://192.168.0.253/ and Enter. A login security prompt will display.
Chapter 4. SNMP 4.8.3 Display System Status The default page shown will be the Display System Status page. Note that the navigation menu is in the frame on the left side. The 'Local' designation means we are viewing the local unit (from the SNMP card's standpoint). The system status displays both local and remote. 4.8.4 Realtime Display The Realtime Display shows the active state of front panel LEDs and the current DIP settings.
Chapter 4. SNMP 4.8.5 System Configuration The System Configuration page is used to save and load user settings, load default settings, clear the alarm buffer record and change the login password. (refer to 3.5.2.1) 4.8.6 Optical Configuration The Optical Configuration page allows enabling the FEF function, clearing the BER Alarm and setting the optical loop backs. (refer to 3.5.2.
