The IPmux-8/16 management software allows you to perform the following:
• Defining IP management parameters
• Defining ASCII terminal parameters
• Configuring out-of-band management port.
Configuring IP Parameters
IPmux-8/16 can be managed by a network management station, which is located
on the LAN connected to one of its Ethernet ports. In order to establish a proper
connection, it is necessary to configure the following: host IP address, subnet
mask, default gateway, its trap, read and write communities, and define at least
one network manager.
Defining Read, Write and Trap Communities
You have to assign names for the read, write and trap communities. In addition,
you can enable sending the authentication failure trap, if a network manager from
an unauthorized community attempts to access IPmux-8/16.
