Configuring IPmux-8/16 via Terminal
IPmux-8/16 includes a V.24/RS-232 asynchronous DTE 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 IPmux-8/16 control port can be configured to communicate at the following
rates: 9.6, 19.2, 38.4, 57.6 or 115.2 kbps.
 To start a terminal control session:
1. Make sure all IPmux-8/16 cables and connectors are properly connected.
2. Connect IPmux-8/16 to a PC equipped with an ASCII terminal emulation
application (for example, Windows Hyper Terminal or Procomm).
3. Turn on the control terminal PC and set its port parameters to 115.2 kbps,
8 bits/character, 1 stop bit, no parity. Set the terminal emulator to VT100
emulation (for optimal view of system menus).
4. When the initialization and self-test are over, a menu appears displaying
initialization and self-test results. If problems are encountered, refer to
Chapter 6 for instructions.
