3.3 Getting Started
After installation, there are no special operating procedures for IPmux-11. Once it
is powered up, the unit operates automatically. The unit operational status can be
monitored constantly.
If required, IPmux-11 can be reconfigured. Both the IPmux-11 configuration and
monitoring operations are performed locally from an ASCII terminal connected to
the control port or from a PC running a Web browser. Detailed configuration
procedures are given in Overview of Menu Operations and Appendix D.
The following functions are supported by the IPmux-11 management software:
• Viewing system information
• Modifying configuration and mode of operation, including setting system
default values
• Monitoring IPmux-11 performance
• Initiating diagnostic tests
• Upgrading software.
Starting Terminal Control Session
To start a terminal control session:
1. Make sure all IPmux-11 cables and connectors are properly connected.
2. Connect IPmux-11 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 ANSI 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 4 for instructions.
Login
To enter as a superuser:
1. Enter su for user name.
2. Enter 1234 for password.
This allows you to configure all the parameters of IPmux-11, and to change the
su and user passwords.
To view the unit’s configuration:
1. Enter user for user name.
2. Enter 1234 for password.
This does not allow you to make configuration changes.
If the password is invalid in three consecutive attempts, the system becomes
inaccessible for 15 minutes.
