Chapter 1 Edit Configuration Mode This section describes the Megaplex management operations that can be performed in RADview’s Edit Configuration mode. 1.1 Connecting RADview Management Station to TDM The RADview management station may be connected to Megaplex units in one of the following setups: • Direct management-to-TDM link running on Single Line Internet Protocol (SLIP) • Connection from management station in a LAN through an MBE to a TDM unit.
PAGE 12
RADview-PC/TDM Megaplex-2100/2104 User’s Manual Chapter 1 Edit Configuration Mode Management via LAN In this application, the management station is connected to the device through an Ethernet LAN and an MBE (Ethernet Elementary Bridge). If the MBE and the device are located in the same subnet, the system will operate immediately upon hardware connection with no need for further software configuration. Figure 1-2 and Figure 1-3 show a sample management via LAN application.
