1-26 Functional Description IPmux-8/16 Ver. 6.00
Default Gateway Configuration
IPmux-8/16 supports a default gateway configuration. Normally, the default
gateway should be on the subnet where the user wants to manage IPmux-8/16.
Management
IPmux-8/16 is designed for unattended operation. The IPmux-8/16 configuration
(the complete collection of its operating parameters) is determined by a database
stored in non-volatile memory. The database is automatically loaded when you
power-up IPmux-8/16, thereby enabling IPmux-8/16 to automatically return to its
last operating configuration.
The IPmux-8/16 management, as well as the other configuration, test, and
monitoring activities (equipment status reading, alarm status and history, activation
of test loops, reading of performance statistics, etc.) can be performed in three
ways:
• Inband Management: Management traffic can run over the same network as
the TDMoIP data. IPmux-8/16 can be managed via an Ethernet module in
Slot 1 or Slot 2, or both.
• Out-of-Band Management: IPmux-16 can have a dedicated Ethernet port for
management. This port is used when management is required to run over a
separate network. It is obtained via the Control connector in the front panel.
 SNMP Management – The SNMP management capability enables fully
graphical, user-friendly management using the RADview network
management stations offered by RAD, as well as management by other
SNMP-based management systems.
 Telnet – Remote management is also possible using the Telnet
communication protocol, which uses TCP/IP communication, without
SNMP service.
 Local Management: IPmux-8/16 can be managed locally via the terminal,
using the control DTE port. A “dumb” ASCII terminal connected to an
RS-232 port of IPmux-8/16 (or a PC running a terminal emulation
program), controlled by the program stored in IPmux-8/16, can be used as
a supervision terminal. The terminal can also be connected through a
modem link, to enable dial-in from a remote location. IPmux-8/16 supports
both point-to-point and multidrop locations.
