Configuring IPmux-11 for Management 

IPmux-11 Ver. 2.00 

 

To acquire a new IP address from the DHCP server: 
1.  From the Host IP menu, set all host IP parameters (host IP, IP mask and default 

gateway) to 0.0.0.0. 

2.  Enable the DHCP client. 

IPmux-11 reboots itself automatically and acquires new IP parameters from 
the DHCP server at startup. 

You can configure the following management parameters: 
•  Define system name and location 
•  Define read, write and trap communities 
•  Specify network managers 
•  Enable or disable management access via Telnet or Web browser 
•  Define alarm masks. 

The IPmux-11 management software allows you to assign a name to the unit and 
its location to distinguish it from the other devices installed in your system. 

 

To assign a name to IPmux-11 and its location: 
1.  From the System menu (

), select Management. 

The Management menu is displayed. 

2.  From the Management menu, select Device info.  

The Device Info menu appears (see 

). 

3.  From the Device Info menu, select System name and enter the desired name 

for the IPmux-11 device. 

4. Select System location, and enter the desired name for the current IPmux-11 

location.

an unauthorized community attempts to access IPmux-11.
