Handling Energized Products
General Safety Practices
Do not touch or tamper with the power supply when the power cord is connected. Line voltages may be
present inside certain products even when the power switch (if installed) is in the OFF position or a fuse is
blown. For DC-powered products, although the voltages levels are usually not hazardous, energy hazards
may still exist.
Before working on equipment connected to power lines or telecommunication lines, remove jewelry or any
other metallic object that may come into contact with energized parts.
Unless otherwise specified, all products are intended to be grounded during normal use. Grounding is
provided by connecting the mains plug to a wall socket with a protective earth terminal. If an earth lug is
provided on the product, it should be connected to the protective earth at all times, by a wire with a
diameter of 18 AWG or wider. Rack-mounted equipment should be mounted only in earthed racks and
cabinets.
Always make the ground connection first and disconnect it last. Do not connect telecommunication cables
to ungrounded equipment. Make sure that all other cables are disconnected before disconnecting the
ground.
Connection of AC Mains
Make sure that the electrical installation complies with local codes.
Always connect the AC plug to a wall socket with a protective ground.
The maximum permissible current capability of the branch distribution circuit that supplies power to the
product is 16A. The circuit breaker in the building installation should have high breaking capacity and must
operate at short-circuit current exceeding 35A.
Always connect the power cord first to the equipment and then to the wall socket. If a power switch is
provided in the equipment, set it to the OFF position. If the power cord cannot be readily disconnected in
case of emergency, make sure that a readily accessible circuit breaker or emergency switch is installed in the
building installation.
In cases when the power distribution system is IT type, the switch must disconnect both poles
simultaneously.
Connection of DC Mains
Unless otherwise specified in the manual, the DC input to the equipment is floating in reference to the ground.
Any single pole can be externally grounded.
Due to the high current capability of DC mains systems, care should be taken when connecting the DC supply
to avoid short-circuits and fire hazards.
DC units should be installed in a restricted access area, i.e. an area where access is authorized only to
qualified service and maintenance personnel.
Make sure that the DC supply is electrically isolated from any AC source and that the installation complies
with the local codes.

The maximum permissible current capability of the branch distribution circuit that supplies power to the
product is 16A. The circuit breaker in the building installation should have high breaking capacity and must
operate at short-circuit current exceeding 35A.
Before connecting the DC supply wires, ensure that power is removed from the DC circuit. Locate the
circuit breaker of the panel board that services the equipment and switch it to the OFF position. When
connecting the DC supply wires, first connect the ground wire to the corresponding terminal, then the
positive pole and last the negative pole. Switch the circuit breaker back to the ON position.
A readily accessible disconnect device that is suitably rated and approved should be incorporated in the
building installation.
If the DC mains are floating, the switch must disconnect both poles simultaneously.
Connection of Data and Telecommunications Cables
Data and telecommunication interfaces are classified according to their safety status.
The following table lists the status of several standard interfaces. If the status of a given port differs from
the standard one, a notice will be given in the manual.

telecommunication networks are possible.
Always connect a given port to a port of the same safety status. If in doubt, seek the assistance of a
qualified safety engineer.
Always make sure that the equipment is grounded before connecting telecommunication cables. Do
not disconnect the ground connection before disconnecting all telecommunications cables.
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.
Some SELV and non-SELV circuits use the same connectors. Use caution when connecting cables.
Extra caution should be exercised during thunderstorms.
When using shielded or coaxial cables, verify that there is a good ground connection at both ends. The
earthing and bonding of the ground connections should comply with the local codes.
The telecommunication wiring in the building may be damaged or present a fire hazard in case of
contact between exposed external wires and the AC power lines. In order to reduce the risk, there are
restrictions on the diameter of wires in the telecom cables, between the equipment and the mating
connectors.
Caution
To reduce the risk of fire, use only No. 26 AWG or larger telecommunication line cords.
Attention
Pour réduire les risques s’incendie, utiliser seulement des conducteurs de
télécommunications 26 AWG ou de section supérieure.
Some ports are suitable for connection to intra-building or non-exposed wiring or cabling only. In such
cases, a notice will be given in the installation instructions.
Do not attempt to tamper with any carrier-provided equipment or connection hardware.
Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC)
The equipment is designed and approved to comply with the electromagnetic regulations of major
regulatory bodies. The following instructions may enhance the performance of the equipment and will
provide better protection against excessive emission and better immunity against disturbances.
A good earth connection is essential. When installing the equipment in a rack, make sure to remove all
traces of paint from the mounting points. Use suitable lock-washers and torque. If an external
grounding lug is provided, connect it to the earth bus using braided wire as short as possible.
The equipment is designed to comply with EMC requirements when connecting it with unshielded
twisted pair (UTP) cables. However, the use of shielded wires is always recommended, especially for
high-rate data. In some cases, when unshielded wires are used, ferrite cores should be installed on
certain cables. In such cases, special instructions are provided in the manual.
Disconnect all wires which are not in permanent use, such as cables used for one-time configuration.
The compliance of the equipment with the regulations for conducted emission on the data lines is
dependent on the cable quality. The emission is tested for UTP with 80 dB longitudinal conversion loss
(LCL).
Unless otherwise specified or described in the manual, TNV-1 and TNV-3 ports provide secondary
protection against surges on the data lines. Primary protectors should be provided in the building
installation.
The equipment is designed to provide adequate protection against electro-static discharge (ESD).
However, it is good working practice to use caution when connecting cables terminated with plastic
connectors (without a grounded metal hood, such as flat cables) to sensitive data lines. Before
connecting such cables, discharge yourself by touching earth ground or wear an ESD preventive wrist
strap.

Note
Half-duplex operation in the IPmux-11 network port is not recommended when
transmitting small-size packets, because collisions and backoffs cause large delay
variation and may exceed the delay variation buffer tolerance at the receiving end,
resulting in buffer underflows and errors.

IP
The data stream coming from the E1 or T1 port is converted into IP packets that
are transported over the Fast Ethernet ports, and vice versa.
TDM bytes are encapsulated in a UDP frame that runs over IP and over Ethernet.
The number of TDM bytes in an IP frame is configurable for throughput/delay
tradeoff.
Each device has a single IP address (host IP). A configurable destination IP address
is assigned to the IP packets. IP ToS field support can be configured for IP level
priority.
The Ethernet ports can be either UTP or fiber.
•
•
UTP option – A standard 10/100BaseT half/full duplex port with
autonegotiation and automatic crossover support. If autonegotiation is
disabled, Ethernet mode should be configured.

MPLS
IPmux-11 encapsulates TDM data with MPLS labels for transporting it over MPLS
networks (TDMoMPLS). Saving up to 24 bytes of overhead in comparison to the
standard TDMoIP encapsulation, TDMoMPLS is ideal for bandwidth-sensitive
networks.

QoS
QoS supports:
•
•
Labeling IP level priority (ToS/Diffserv) for TDMoIP packets
VLAN tagging and priority labeling according to IEEE 802.1p&Q for TDMoIP
packets
•
QoS marking of the TDMoIP traffic in MPLS networks.
The user can configure the ToS (Type of Service) of the outgoing TDMoIP packets.
This allows an en-route Layer 3 router or switch, which supports ToS, to give
higher priority to IPmux-11 TDMoIP traffic for delay-sensitive and secure
applications. IPmux-11 allows you to configure the WHOLE ToS byte field, since
different vendors may use different bits to tag packets for traffic prioritization.
This also enables operation according to various RFC definitions (for example RFC
2474, RFC 791). The user can also configure VLAN priority bits for Level 2 Priority.
Management
IPmux-11 can be managed locally by connecting an ASCII terminal to the
RS-232 port on the rear panel, or via an HTTP connection (Web-based
management tool, ConfiguRAD), Telnet or SNMP. The SNMP management
capability enables fully graphical, user-friendly management using the RADview
Service Center TDMoIP network management stations offered by RAD, as well as
management by other SNMP-based management systems.
ConfiguRAD
ConfiguRAD is user-friendly, Web-based terminal management system for remote
device configuration and maintenance. It is embedded into IPmux-11 and
provided at no extra cost. ConfiguRAD can be run from any standard Web
browser.
Timing
IPmux-11 maintains synchronization between TDM devices by deploying
advanced clock distribution mechanisms.
Available timing modes are:
•
•
•
•
Loopback
Adaptive
Internal clock
External clock.
System clock ensures clock resilience by using master and fallback timing sources
for clock redundancy.
IPmux-11 also provides system clock output via external clock connector.

Installation and Operation Manual
Unframed
In the unframed mode, the incoming bit stream from each channel (regardless of
framing) is converted into IP over Ethernet frames. This option provides clear
channel end-to-end service (unframed).
Fractional
In the fractional mode, the incoming bit stream is regarded as a sequence of
N × 64 kbps timeslots (according to framing). Each predefined group of timeslots is
converted into a structure block. The structure block is packetized into IP frames
and transmitted.
This mode allows transmission of several selected timeslots without the whole E1
or T1 frame, as in transparent mode.
Fractional with CAS
In the fractional-with-CAS mode, the structure block (as described under
Fractional Operation Modes, above) also includes Channel Associated Signaling
(CAS) from timeslot 16 (E1) or robbed bit (T1). The relevant portion of the signaling
channel is packetized and sent to the destination.
Timeslot Assignment in a Bundle
A bundle is a group of timeslots associated with a specific E1 or T1 channel.
IPmux-11 places individual or multiple TDM timeslots (up to 31 timeslots for E1 or
up to 24 for T1) into bundles with a single IP address destination.
Testing
Diagnostic capabilities include E1/T1 local and remote loopback tests for rapid
localization of faults. The E1/T1 traffic can be looped locally, toward the line, or
Timing Modes
The E1/T1 Tx clock can operate in several timing modes to provide maximum
flexibility for connecting the IPmux-11 E1 or T1 channels.
Each of the clocks must be configured correctly on both the receive and transmit
The E1/T1 available Tx modes are:
•
Loopback timing – the E1/T1 Tx clock is derived from the E1/T1 receive (Rx)
clock.
•
Adaptive timing – in this mode, the E1 or T1 Tx clock is regenerated using the
adaptive method. In this method, the fill level of the buffer receiving packets is
monitored. If the buffer begins to overfill, the regenerated Tx clock frequency
increases to avoid overflow. If the buffer begins to empty, the Tx clock
frequency (toward the TDM device) decreases to avoid underflow.

Chapter 1 Introduction
•
•
Internal timing – in this mode, the Tx clock is derived from an internal
oscillator.
External timing – in this mode the Tx clock is derived from the external clock
input. The external clock port also outputs the input clock signal to allow
connection to other units, if needed.
Note
In adaptive timing the regenerated clock is subject to network packet delay
variation. That is why the quality of the adaptive clock depends on the quality of the
network.
Network Timing Schemes
The following paragraphs describe typical timing schemes and the correct timing
mode settings for achieving end-to-end synchronization.
External Network Timing
When the edges of the network are synchronized by an external network clock
source, all the IPmux-11 units should be configured to work in loopback timing
Figure 1-3. IPmux-11 in Loopback Timing Mode
External timing from the network can also be issued to IPmux-11 by external clock
input.

Packet Delay Variation
Packets are transmitted at set intervals. Packet Delay Variation is the maximum
deviation from the nominal time the packets are expected to arrive at the far end
device. IPmux-11 has a buffer that compensates for the deviation from the
expected packet arrival time to prevent IPmux-11 buffers from emptying out or
overflowing.
Packet Delay Variation is an important network parameter. Large PDV (exceeding
the jitter buffer configuration) will cause receive buffer underflows and errors at
To compensate for large PDV, configure the PDVT (jitter) buffer to a higher value.

Chapter 1 Introduction
Installation and Operation Manual
PDVT (Jitter) Buffer
IPmux-11 is equipped with a Packet DVT (Delay Variation Tolerance) buffer. The
PDVT buffer or jitter buffer is filled by the incoming IP packets and emptied out to
fill the TDM stream. The buffer begins to empty out only after it is half full in order
to compensate for packet starvation from the Ethernet side. The time it takes for
half of the buffer to empty out is the maximum DVT time. The PDVT (jitter) buffer
is designed to compensate for packet delay variation caused by the network +
packetization delay. It supports a delay variation of up to 300 ms for E1 or T1.
PDVT Buffer Effect on Delay
The PDVT buffer is on the TDM path; it adds to the total end-to-end delay (see
delay calculation, below).
Packetization Delay
When IPmux-11 builds a frame, a packetization delay is introduced. The
packetization delay is calculated according to the following formula:
47 ×N ×0.125
Packetization delay (ms) =
TS
Where:
TDM bytes/frame
N =
48
TS = number of assigned timeslots (in unframed mode= 32 for E1, 24 for T1)
Jitter Buffer Depth
The jitter buffer depth is configured according to the following formula:
Jitter buffer = PDV introduced by the network (measured or estimated) +
packetization delay.
Note
For a bundle that contains a few timeslots (i.e. 1 to 3,) the recommended number
of TDM bytes/frame is 48 in order to prevent excessive packetization delay.
Ethernet Throughput
Increasing payload size reduces the ratio of the TDMoIP header segment in the
packet, thus reducing the total Ethernet throughput.
Increased payload reduces the IP/Ethernet overhead segment of the total packet
and thus can reduce the total Ethernet throughput.
On the other hand, packetization delay is increased; this contributes to a higher
end-to-end delay. This effect can be small and negligible when a full E1 (or many
timeslots) are transferred, but can be very significant when few timeslots are
transferred. In this case, when configuring a large value of TDM bytes/frame, the
packetization delay can be very large and may exceed the maximum PDVT (jitter)
buffer on the receiving end.

Chapter 1 Introduction
Configuring the TDM bytes per frame (TDM bytes/frame) parameter has impact on
the Ethernet throughput (bandwidth or traffic traveling through the Ethernet). This
parameter controls the number of TDM bytes encapsulated in one frame.
The TDM bytes/frame parameter can be configured to N × 48 bytes where N is an
integer between 1 and 30.
ꢀ
To calculate Ethernet throughput as a function of TDM bytes/frame:
Ethernet load (bps) = [(frame overhead (bytes) + TDM bytes/frame) × 8] ×
frames/second
Frame overhead = Ethernet overhead + IP overhead = 46 bytes
Note
The frame overhead does not include:
• Preamble field: 7 bytes
• SFD field: 1 byte
• Interframe gap: 12 bytes
• VLAN field (when used): 4 bytes.
Frame/second =
Unframed:

Reorder and Duplication of Ethernet Frames
IPmux-11 handles situations in the IP network where:
•
•
Packets are reordered by the network
Packets are duplicated.
Reordering Frames
The ability to correct problems of reordering depends on the selected payload
(TDMoIP) format: version 1 (V1) or version 2 (V2).
Frame reordering is supported for odd values of payload, i.e. 1, 3, 5, 7, …, 29 in
V1 mode or for any payload in V2 mode.
You can reorder up to seven frames for V1 and up to 64 frames for V2; the
number depends on the number of TDM bytes/frame size and buffer size.
The number of frames that can be reordered is calculated by:
(Jitter Buffer[msec]− 1)(Ts ×8)

Where:
•
•
Ts = number of timeslots
Payload = number of TDM bytes in frame, i.e. 1, 3, 5, 7, …, 29 for V1 or

Note
For V1 the maximum number of frames that can be reordered is 7, even if the
calculation result exceeds 7. For V2 the maximum number of frames that can be
reordered is 64, even if the calculation result exceeds 64.
Duplicated Frames
When frames are duplicated, IPmux-11 only uses the later frame.
OAM Connectivity
When a destination IPmux-11 is lost, the traffic load that is transmitted to that
IPmux is significantly decreased (several packets per second per connection). The
IPmux starts transmitting at full rate only when it detects an IPmux at the remote
side.
OAM connectivity is used to detect a valid connection (the remote IPmux will
confirm it recognizes the connection and that it is enabled). It prevents flooding by
a handshake.
The control packets are run over a unique bundle number that is used for this
purpose. The control packets have the same VLAN ID and TOS of the originating
connection. The control packet uses the TDMoIP UDP number.
OAM connectivity can be set to Disable/Enable.
Note
For control packets, the UDP checksum is not calculated nor checked.
End-to-End Alarm Generation
An end-to-end alarm generation mechanism exists in IPmux-11 to facilitate the
following alarms:
•
Unframed – AIS is transmitted toward the near-end PBX in event of:
ꢀ Far-end LOS, AIS
ꢀ PDVT underflow/overflow.
•
Framed – Timeslot/CAS configurable alarm pattern is transmitted toward the
near-end PBX in event of:
ꢀ Far-end LOS, LOF, AIS
ꢀ PDVT underflow/overflow.
Trail-Extended Mode
To enhance fault condition reporting capabilities, remote IPmux-11 transfers RDI,
LOS and AIS conditions received from the remote E1 device to the local E1 device

The Ethernet user ports allow a user to aggregate both TDMoIP traffic and his
private network LAN traffic to a single Ethernet network connection without
requiring an access switch. This is a cost-effective solution for MTU or small-office
applications. A rate limiter to restrict user port traffic is supported.
IPmux-11 contains an internal bridge where one of its ports is connected to a
TDMoIP interworking function, two external bridge ports is used as the user ports,
and the fourth is used as an Ethernet network port.

Switch Operation Modes
IPmux-11 offers two user LAN ports in addition to the LAN port on the network
side. The device performs switching at Layer 2. The switch supports both
transparent bridging and VLAN-aware bridging. The switch supports rate limiting of
traffic going from the user ports to the network port. It supports up to 1024 MAC
addresses (depending on their values and the order in which they are learned).
The switch modes are described later in this section. They are:
•
•
•
•
Transparent
Untagged
Tagged
Double tagged.
Rate Limiter Option
In this option a rate limiter is available to limit user port traffic. This feature is
valuable when a limited bandwidth is used to extend the Ethernet link (generally
when the Ethernet link rate is limited/shaped to a lower rate after IPmux). In this
case TDMoIP packets will be dropped by a lower-rate device even if it was
prioritized at the IPmux internal switch. This is prevented by limiting the user port
to actual link rate minus TDMoIP bandwidth.
Network and user traffic can be limited to the following data rates:
•
Network interface (egress) – 256 kbps, 512 kbps, 1 Mbps, 2 Mbps, 4 Mbps, 5
Mbps, 8 Mbps, 10 Mbps, 16 Mbps, 20 Mbps, 25 Mbps, 40 Mbps, 50 Mbps,
80 Mbps
•
User interface (ingress) – 256 kbps, 512 kbps, 1 Mbps, 2 Mbps, 4 Mbps,
8 Mbps, 16 Mbps, 32 Mbps, 64 Mbps
When the rate limiter is disabled, there is automatic per-port limiting of 64 Mbps
on every port, for protection against broadcast, multicast, and flooding, which
could otherwise saturate the channel. If the default VLAN priority is lowered, then
this automatic limit is lowered accordingly, to maintain this protection. Setting the
default VLAN priority changes the automatic rate limiting in the following manner:

If required, IPmux-11 can be reconfigured. The IPmux-11 configuration and
monitoring operations are performed using any of the following tools:
•
ASCII terminal connected to supervisory port
•
ConfiguRAD, a Web-based management system, using a Web browser running
on a PC connected to the network
•
RADview, an SNMP based management system with a graphical user interface.
See RADview SC/TDMoIP User's Manual for details.
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
Uploading and downloading software and configuration files.
Working with Terminal
ꢀ
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 6 for troubleshooting instructions.
Login
To prevent unauthorized modification of the operating parameters, IPmux-11
supports two access levels: .
•
Superuser can perform all the activities supported by the IPmux-11
management facility, including defining new users.
•
User’s access rights (full control or read only) are defined by the superuser.
Users are not allowed to create new users.
ꢀ
To enter as a superuser:
1. Enter su for user name.

Configuration
This chapter illustrates the IPmux-11 configuration screens and explains their
parameters.
4.1 Configuration Sequence
There are four basic configuration steps that need to be followed when deploying
any IPmux unit:
1. IP configuration – Setting the device host IP address and the manager IP address.
2. Physical layer configuration – Setting the TDM parameters (line type, clocking,
etc.) according to the application requirements and topology.
3. Creating bundles – Allocating timeslots to bundles
4. Connecting bundles – Directing the bundles defined above to remote IPmux
unit.
IPmux-11 can be managed by a network management station that is located on
the LAN connected to the one of the unit’s Ethernet ports. In order to establish a
proper connection, it is necessary to configure IPmux with a basic configuration.
ꢀ
To perform preliminary IPmux configuration:
1. Connect an ASCII terminal to the RS-232 control port of IPmux.
2. Log in as Superuser (su).
3. Assign an IP address to IPmux.
4. Assign a subnet mask and a default gateway.
5. You can also enable or disable the IPmux DHCP client.
6. Set read, trap, and read/write communities to public.
7. Set a manager IP address and location.
8. Reset IPmux.
Note
Make sure that you save your settings at each configuration screen.

Controlling Management Access
You can enable or disable access to the IPmux-11 management system via an
SNMP, Telnet or Web-based application. By disabling SNMP, Telnet or Web, you
prevent unauthorized access to the system when security of the IPmux-11 IP
address has been compromised. When SNMP, Telnet and Web access is disabled,
IPmux-11 can be managed via an ASCII terminal only. In addition, you can limit
management access implementation, depending whether the network managers are
defined or not.
ꢀ
To define the management access method:
1. From the Management menu, select Management Access.
2. From the Management Access menu, select TELNET Access to configure
Telnet access, select SNMP Access to configure SNMP access, or select WEB
Access to configure Web access.
3. Define access mode for each management method:

Application
The section provides detailed instructions for configuring two IPmux-11 units
Figure 5-1. Two IPmux-11 Units Operating Opposite Each Other
Guidelines for Configuring IPmux-11 Units
There are four basic configuration steps (described below) that need to be
followed when deploying any IPmux unit.
1. IP Configuration – Setting the device host IP address and the manager IP address.
2. Physical layer configuration – Setting the TDM parameters (line type, clocking,
etc.) according to the application requirements and topology.
3. Creating bundles – Allocating timeslots to bundles
4. Connecting bundles – Directing the bundles defined above to remote IPmux
unit.

Troubleshooting and
Diagnostics
This chapter describes how to:
•
•
•
•
•
Monitor performance
Detect errors
Handle alarms
Troubleshoot problems
Perform diagnostic tests.
6.1 Monitoring Performance
IPmux-11 provides powerful performance monitoring tools, which consist of the
following three levels:
•
•
E1/T1 statistics – Status of the physical E1/T1 parameters (signal, framing, etc.)
LAN statistics – Ethernet connection status (speed, duplex mode, bytes
transmitted & received, etc.)
•
Bundle connection statistics – TDMoIP bundle connection status on the
Ethernet/IP network level.
Displaying E1/T1 Statistics
E1/T1 statistics refer to the physical status of the E1/T1 traffic reaching IPmux-11
from the adjacent E1/T1 device.
The E1 statistics parameters comply with the G.703, G.704, G.804, G.706, G.732,
and G.823 standards.
The T1 statistics parameters comply with the ANSI T.403, AT&T R62411, G.703,
G.704 and G.804 standards.
E1/T1 statistics are monitored and saved under consecutive intervals. Each interval
is 15 minutes long. There are 96 intervals, which represent the last 24 hours.
Whenever a new interval is started, the counters are reset to zero. The old interval
shows the total of events that occurred during its 15-minute period.
The current active interval is always marked as interval 0 (you will see that the
Time Since counter is running). The previous interval is marked as 1 and so on.
The E1/T1 statistic counters cannot be reset manually.

Alarm
Description
LOS
Number of seconds with Loss of Signal. A Loss of Signal indicates that there is either no signal arriving
from the adjacent E1/T1 device or no valid E1 voltage mask or no voltage alteration between positive
and negative amplitudes.
For E1 links, the LOS counter will increase by one for each second during which a consecutive
255 pulses have no pulse of negative or positive polarity.
For T1 links, the LOS counter will increase by one for each second during which a consecutive
192 pulses have no pulse of negative or positive polarity.
A LOS alarm is also indicated by the front panel E1/T1 SYNC LED (red). The green E1/T1 SYNC LED
indicates that the E1/T1 synchronization has been restored).
Recommendations:
Check the physical layer (connectors, cables, etc.)
LOF (Red)
Number of seconds with Loss of Frame. A Loss of Frame indicates a second that IPmux-11 lost E1/T1
synch opposite its adjacent E1/T1 device.
In more detail, this is a period of 2.5 seconds for T1 or 100 msec for E1, during which an OOF (Out Of
Frame) error persisted and no AIS errors were detected.
For E1 links an OOF defect is declared when three consecutive frame alignment signals have been
received with an error.
For T1 links, an OOF defect is declared when the receiver detects two or more framing errors within a
three msec period for ESF signals and 0.75 msec for D4 signals, or two or more errors out of five or
fewer consecutive framing-bits.
A LOF alarm is also indicated by the front panel E1/T1 SYNC LED (red).
When the IPmux enters a red alarm condition, it sends an Yf bit (yellow alarm or RAI) towards the
adjacent E1/T1 device.
Recommendations:
Check all framing related parameters for E1/T1, and physical connections.
LCV
Number of seconds with Line Code Violations. A Line Code Violation indicates an error on the pulse
structure, either a Bipolar Violation (BPV) or an Excessive Zeros (EXZ) error event.
BPV is the occurrence of a pulse with the same polarity as the previous pulse.
EXZ is the occurrence of a zero string greater than 15 for AMI or 7 for B8ZS.
For an E1 link, the LCV counter will increase by one, for each second during which a BPV or EXZ errors
have occurred.
For T1 links, the LCV counter will increase for each second during which two consecutive BPVs of the
same polarity are received.
Complies with ITU-TI.431, 0.161, G775 and G.821 standards.
Recommendations:
Check physical link for bad/loose connection, impedance matching (balanced or unbalanced) and noisy
environment.

Table 6-1. E1/T1 Statistics (Cont.)
RAI (Yellow)
Number of seconds with Remote Alarm Indicators. A Remote Alarm Indicator is sent by a device when
it enters RED state (loses sync).
RAI Alarm indicates that the adjacent E1/T1 device had lost E1/T1 synch and hence sent an RAI
towards the IPmux, which entered a Yellow alarm mode (similarly, IPmux sends RAI towards adjacent
E1/T1 when IPmux enters LOF state (Red alarm).
In both E1/T1 links the RAI counter increases by one for each second during which an RAI pattern is
received from the far end framer.
The RAI alarm is also indicated by the front panel ALM LED (red).
Recommendations:
Check reason for E1/T1 device to be in LOF (out of synch state) by checking physical link integrity at
the Tx direction of the IPmux towards E1/T1 device and framing related parameters.
AIS
Number of seconds with Alarm Indication Signals. An Alarm Indication Signal implies an upstream
failure of the adjacent E1/T1 device. AIS will be sent to the opposite direction of which the Yellow
alarm is sent.
For E1 links, the AIS counter will increase by one for each second during which a string of 512 bits
contains fewer than three zero (0) bits.
For T1 links, the AIS counter will increase by one for each second during which an unframed “all 1”
signal is received for 3 msec.
The AIS condition is indicated by the front panel E1/T1 SYNC LED (red).
Recommendations:
Check why the E1/T1 device is sending AIS (all ones) stream towards IPmux, for example, Red alarm on
a different interface of E1/T1 device (upstream).
FEBE
Number of seconds with Far End Block Errors. The FEBE is sent to transmitting device notifying that a
flawed block has been detected at the receiving device. Exists only for E1 MF-CRC4. The FEBE alarm is
also indicated by the front panel ALM LED (red).
The FEBE counter will increase by one for each second during which the FEBE indication is received.
Recommendation:
Check physical link integrity.
BES
Bursty Errored Seconds (also known as Errored seconds type B) are seconds during which fewer than
319 and more than one CRC errors occurred with neither AIS nor SEF (Severely Errored Frames)
detected. The BES counter will increase by one for each second containing the condition described
above. The CRC is calculated for the previous frame in order to prevent processing delay.
Complies with AT&T TR-62411 and TR-54016 standards. Not applicable if the line type is set to
Unframed. Available only at T1-ESF or E1-CRC4 modes (performance monitoring functionality).
Recommendations:
Check physical link integrity, G.704 frame format integrity and Sync. (The CRC bits are included in TS0
for E1 multiframe links and in the frame alignment bits for T1 ESF links).
DM
A Degraded Minute is calculated by collecting all the available seconds, subtracting any SES and sorting
the result in 60-second groups.
The DM counter will increase by one for each 60-second group in which the cumulative errors during
the 60-second interval exceed 1E-6.
Available in T1-ESF or E1-CRC4 modes only, (performance monitoring functionality).
Recommendations:
See BES recommendations.

Description
ES
An Errored Second is a second containing one or more of the following:
• CRC error
• SEF (OOF)
• AIS (T1 only)
• If SES is active ES runs for 10 seconds and then stops.
Recommendations:
Check physical link integrity. Follow the recommendation concerning LOF, BEF and AIS.
SES
A Severely Errored Second is a second containing one of the following:
• 320 or more CRC errors events
• One or more OOF defect
• One or more AIS events occurred (T1 only)
• The SES counter will be cleared after reaching 10 and an UAS will then be activated.
Recommendations:
Check physical link integrity. See also ES alarm recommendation.
UAS
Unavailable Second parameter refers to the number of seconds during which the interface is
unavailable. The UAS counter will start increasing after 10 consecutive SES occurrences and will be
deactivated as a result of 10 consecutive seconds without SES. After SES clearance the UAS counter will
then diminish 10 seconds from the overall count.
Recommendations:
See above recommendations.
LOMF
Number of seconds of Loss of Multi Frame. A Loss of Multi Frame indicates a second with no sync on
the multi frame mode, i.e., the receiving device is unable to detect the four ABCD bits pattern on. The
LOMF alarm is also indicated by the front panel ALM LED (red). TS16 MSB in frame 0 for two
consecutive multiframes. Available only for E1 multiframe mode (CAS).
Recommendations:

(good CRC).
Fragments
Jabber
The number of frames that are shorter than 64 bytes and have an invalid CRC.
The number of frames that are too long and have an invalid CRC.
A jabber is transmission by a data station beyond the time interval allowed by the protocol, usually
affecting the rest of the network. In an Ethernet network, devices compete for use of the line,
attempting to send a signal and then retrying in the event that someone else tried at the same time. A
jabber can look like a device that is always sending, effectively bringing the network to a halt.
Recommendations
Check network interface card or any other transmitting devices and external electrical interference.
Dropped
Frames
Number of dropped frames due to delivery problems.
Recommendations:
Check the network interface card.
CRC Errors
The amount of frames with invalid CRCs.

Correct Octets
Collisions
The number of frames successfully transmitted. When a valid connection is established the number

The number of octets successfully transmitted. When a valid connection is established the number
should increase steadily.
The number of successfully transmitted frames which transmission is inhibited by a collision event. A
collision occurs in half-duplex connection when two devices try to transmit at the same time. This
counter tracks the number of times frames have collided. This event exists only in half duplex mode,
which is not recommended in an IPmux-11 application.
Recommendations:
Many collisions indicate that the traffic is too heavy for a half duplex media. Set to a full duplex
environment if possible.

Description
Sequence
Errors
The number of seconds with at least one sequence error since the last clear.
Each packet transmitted by IPmux-11 holds a sequence number. The receiving IPmux-11 checks these
numbers at the receive mechanism and expects to see that each new incoming packet is “in sequence”
relative to the previous one (i.e., packet no. 5 is received after no. 4). When, for some reason, this is
not the case (i.e., next packet is not in sequence relative to the previous one), this means that there had
been a problem with packet flow integrity (and hence data/voice integrity). IPmux will indicate this by
increasing the “Sequence Errors” counter by one.
There may be two reasons for a Sequence Error notification:
Packet or packets are lost somewhere along the network.
Re-ordering of packets by network.
Packet re-ordering may occur due to queuing mechanisms, re-routing by the network, or when the
router updates very large routing tables.
Recommendations:
• Make sure Ethernet connection is functioning properly. (See Displaying LAN Statistics on page 6-5.)
• Make sure Ethernet/IP network provides priority (Quality Of Service) to the IPmux traffic. Priority
may be achieved by three means: VLAN tagging, IP TOS marking or by using the constant 2142
decimal value at the “UDP destination Port” field of each TDMoIP packet.
• Verify that the IP network devices (switches/routers/modems/etc.) are capable of handling the IPmux
PPS rate (Packets Per Second).
• Make sure the network devices do not drop/lose/ignore packets.
Note: IPmux-11 may support a “reordering mechanism”, which can sort packets back to their original
order in some situations.

Description
Jitter Buffer
Underflows
The number of seconds with at least one jitter buffer underflow event since the last clear.
IPmux-11 is equipped with a “Packet Delay Variation Tolerance” buffer, also called a “jitter buffer”,
responsible for compensating for IP networks delay variation (IP jitter). The jitter buffer is configured in
milliseconds units and exists for each bundle independently.
Explanation:
Packets leave the transmitting IPmux-11 at a constant rate, but the problem is that they are reaching the
opposite IPmux-11 at a rate which is NOT constant, due to network delay variation (caused by
congestion, re-routing, queuing mechanisms, wireless media, half-duplex media, etc.). The TDM
devices at both ends require a constant flow of data, so they can’t tolerate delay variation. Therefore
the jitter buffer is required in order to provide the TDM equipment with a synchronous and constant
flow.
This is done as follows:
• Upon startup, the jitter buffer stores packets up to its middle point (the number of packets correlates
to the buffer’s configured depth in milliseconds). Only after that point it starts outputting the E1/T1
flow towards its adjacent TDM device. The stored packets assure that the TDM device will be fed
with data even if packets are delayed by the IP network. Obviously, if packets are delayed too long,
then the buffer is gradually emptied out until it is underflowed. This situation is called buffer
starvation. Each underflow event increases the jitter buffer underflow counter by one and indicates a
problem in the end-to-end voice/data integrity.
The second functionality of the jitter buffer is that in adaptive mode the jitter buffer is also a part of a
mechanism being used to reconstruct the clock of the far end TDM side.
An underflow situation can be a cause of:
• Buffer starvation: Packets delay variation causes the buffer to empty out gradually until it is
underflowed.
• Continuous Sequence Errors. The sequence error means a halt in the valid stream of packet arrival
into the jitter buffer.
• Packets are being stopped/lost/dropped.
• Too small jitter buffer configuration that can’t compensate for the network delay variation.
• When all system elements are not locked on the same master clock, it will lead to a situation in
which data is clocked out of the jitter buffer at a rate different from the one it is clocked into. This
will gradually result in either an overflow or underflow event, depending on which rate is higher.
The event will repeat itself periodically as long as the system clock is not locked.
• When an overflow (see below) situation occurs, IPmux-11 instantly flushes the jitter buffer, causing a
forced underflow. So when you need to calculate the real underflow events and not the self-initiated
ones, subtract the number of overflows from the total number of underflows counted by the device.
Recommendations:
• Try increasing the jitter buffer size.
• Check reasons for sequence errors or lost/dropped packets (if present), system clocking
configuration, Ethernet environment (full duplex) and connection, packets drop/loss/ignore by
routers/switches or non-uniform packets output by routers/switches due to queuing mechanisms.
• Make sure the same amount of TS for bundle is configured on each side of the IPmux-11
application, and that the “TDM bytes in frame” parameter is identical in both IPmux-11 units.
Make sure Ethernet/IP network provides priority (Quality Of Service) to the IPmux-11 traffic. Priority
may be achieved by three means: VLAN tagging, IP TOS marking or by using the constant 2142
decimal value at each IPmux “UDP destination Port” field.

Description
Jitter Buffer
Overflows
The number of seconds with at least one jitter buffer overflow event since the last clear.
Explanation:
In steady state, the jitter buffer is filled up to its middle point, which means it has the space to hold an
additional similar quantity of packets. Overflow is opposite phenomenon of the Underflow, i.e., when
a big burst of packets reaches the IPmux (a burst with more packets than the Jitter Buffer can store), the
buffer will be filled up to its top. In this case, an unknown number of excessive packets are dropped
and hence IPmux initiates a forced underflow by flushing (emptying) the buffer in order to start fresh
from the beginning. An overflow situation always results in an immediate Underflow, forced by the
IPmux. After the buffer is flushed, the process of filling up the buffer is started again, as explained above
(“Underflow” section).
An overflow situation can be a cause of:
• A big burst of packets, filling up the buffer completely. The burst itself can often be a cause of some
element along the IP network queuing the packets and then transmitting them all at once.
• Too small jitter buffer configuration.
• When system isn’t locked on the same clock, it will lead to a situation in which data is clocked out
of the jitter buffer at a rate different from the one it is clocked into. This will gradually result in either
an overflow or underflow event, depending on which rate is higher. The event will repeat itself
periodically as long as the system clock is not locked.
Recommendations:
Check network devices and try increasing jitter buffer configuration.
Check system’s clocking configuration
• Make sure the same amount of TS for bundle is configured on each side of the IPmux-11
application, and that the “TDM bytes in frame” parameter is identical in both IPmux-11 units

6.6 Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How does the IPmux handle/propagate alarms on the TDM and Ethernet side?
A: The IPmux handles alarms on the TDM and Ethernet side in the following
manner:
TDM side alarms
Unframed mode:
ꢀ In case of LOS (Loss Of Signal) on the local IPmux side, AIS will be sent
towards the IP side, and will then be transferred over the E1/T1 to the
remote TDM device.
ꢀ All other alarms sent from the near-end TDM device (including information
on timeslot 0), will be propagated transparently by the local IPmux, to the
remote end TDM device (over the IP connection).
Framed mode:
In case of LOS/LOF/AIS detected on the local IPmux side, a user-configurable
conditioning pattern (00 to FF) will be sent on the relevant timeslots (over the IP
connection), to the far-end TDM device. A user-configurable conditioning
pattern can also be applied on the ABCD bits (CAS signaling 1 to F) going
towards the remote PBX.
The frame synch on the E1/T1 level is maintained in favor of the end TDM
devices.
Ethernet Side Alarms
Unframed mode:
In case of local failure on the IPmux, or a situation of jitter buffer
underflow/overflow, an (unframed) AIS will be sent towards the near-end TDM
side.

Framed mode:
In case of local failure on the IPmux, or situation of jitter buffer
underflow/overflow, a conditioning pattern (00 to FF) will be sent towards the
near-end TDM device on the timeslots related to that specific bundle. A user-
configurable conditioning pattern can also be applied on the ABCD bits (CAS
signaling 1 to F), going towards the local TDM device.
In this case the synch on the E1/T1 level is maintained in favor of the TDM end
devices.
Q: How can I ensure the IPmux TDMoIP traffic priority over an IP
Ethernet network?
A: The IPmux units offer three different methods of the TDMoIP traffic
prioritization over an IP/Ethernet network:
ꢀ VLAN ID (Layer 2)
ꢀ ToS field (Layer 3)
ꢀ UDP destination port (Layer 4).
Each QoS feature is based on a different OSI level and can be used individually
in order to ensure the TDMoIP traffic priority. When determining which feature
to use, it is important to verify that the different elements on the network,
(Switches / Routers / etc.), support the selected priority mechanism and are also
configured to give the highest priority to the labeled IPmux traffic.
Notice that the priority is given to the TDMoIP traffic by the network elements
and the IPmux is merely tagging the packets.
VLAN ID
The IPmux complies with the IEEE 802.1p&Q standards. This enables the user
to set both VLAN ID and VLAN Priority. It adds four bytes to the MAC layer
(Layer 2) of the Ethernet frame. These bytes contain information about the
VLAN ID, and the VLAN priority, which runs from 0–7. The IPmux only tags the
packets, while the switches are responsible for giving the priority according to
the VLAN info. Verify that the IPmux traffic has the highest priority in the
relevant Ethernet network.
ToS
There are several RFCs (RFC791, RFC1349, RFC2474) that define how the IP
ToS should be configured. The ToS is a byte located in the IP header (Layer 3).
In general the Type of Service octet, in most cases, consists of three fields:
The first field, labeled "PRECEDENCE", is intended to denote the importance or
priority of the datagram.
The second field, labeled "TOS", denotes how the network should make
tradeoffs between throughput, delay, reliability, and cost.
The last field, labeled "MBZ" (for "must be zero") above, is currently unused.
The IPmux can configure the whole IP ToS byte, and therefore it is adaptable to
each RFC in the market. The IP ToS parameter in the IPmux is user-configured
in terms of decimal value. However, on the frame itself it of course appears in
binary format. The decimal value varies between 0 and 255 (8 bits).

Chapter 6 Troubleshooting and Diagnostics
Installation and Operation Manual
A configuration example:
Setting IP precedence of 101 and IP ToS of 1000 will give us the byte
10110000, which means that the IPmux IP ToS parameter should be
configured to 176 decimals.
UDP Destination Port
The IPmux uses the UDP protocol (Layer 4) in order to transfer the TDMoIP
traffic.
In the UDP protocol, the ¿Destination port¿ field is always set to the decimal
value of 2142, hence all the packets leaving the IPmux are tagged accordingly.
This unique value was assigned to RAD by the IANA organization for TDMoIP
applications.
The network elements may be used to give priority to the TDMoIP traffic
according to the UDP destination field.
Q: Does allocating a sufficient bandwidth ensure the proper functionality of an
IPmux-based application?
A: A sufficient bandwidth is not enough to ensure a steady environment for the
IPmux, since networks loaded with additional non-IPmux LAN traffic (e.g. PC
traffic) or incompetent Ethernet/IP network may cause several problems:
ꢀ Jitter – The IPmux packets may suffer a delay variation (although all the
traffic will eventually pass through due to that fact that there is sufficient
bandwidth). Packets will be delayed for different periods of time due to
overloaded networks, queuing mechanisms, etc. IPmux can compensate for
some jitter (IPmux-1, IPmux-11 up to 300 msec, IPmux-8/16 up to 32 msec
for E1 and 24 msec for T1) but bigger jitter will cause problems.
ꢀ Misordering – Packets might be sent in different order than the order in
which they were originally sent from the IPmux.
ꢀ Packet Loss – Packets might be dropped/ignored by some elements in the
network (routers/switches) due to insufficient processing power to handle
the load, queuing mechanisms, buffer overflows, etc.
Normally these problems are solved by giving priority to the IPmux traffic over
all other traffic.
As can be shown, even though there is sufficient bandwidth, there might still be
cases in which the traffic will be transmitted from all the sources at the same
time and thus create a momentary load on the network element (router/switch),
even when this load that does not exceed the available bandwidth. Since the
IPmux is constantly transmitting, the TDMoIP traffic will always be a part of
such a load.
When no priority is given to the TDMoIP traffic, the network elements will
handle the TDMoIP traffic as any other type of traffic.
All the above degrade the performance of the IPmux unit, although an
adequate amount of bandwidth is provided for the IPmux.
Refer to FAQ 3338 to understand how to check the IPmux and network
performance and how to solve problems.

5. Send the software release file to IPmux-11 using the XMODEM utility of you
terminal application.
Once the downloading is completed, IPmux-11 saves the new release as an
active partition, the former active partition turns into backup, and the boot
sequence continues normally.
If a failure occurs during the download, the partially downloaded software is
erased. In this case, only active software is left in the flash memory.
Downloading Application Files via TFTP
ꢀ
To download application file via TFTP:
1. From the Boot Manager menu, select System Configuration.
2. Configure the IP parameters of IPmux-11 (IP address, IP mask and default
gateway). These parameters are valid only for the TFTP file transfer via the
Boot Manager.
3. Start a TFTP application.

Appendix C
SNMP Management
This appendix provides specific information for IPmux-11 management by SNMP
(Simple Network Management Protocol).
The SNMP management functions of IPmux-11 are provided by an internal SNMP
agent. The SNMP management communication uses UDP (User Datagram
Protocol), which is a connectionless-mode transport protocol, part of the IP
(Internet Protocol) protocol suite.
This appendix covers the information related to the SNMP environment.
C.1 SNMP Environment
SNMP Principles
The SNMP is an asynchronous command-response polling protocol. All
management traffic is initiated by the SNMP-based network management station,
which addresses the managed entities in its management domain. Only the
addressed managed entity answers the polling of the management station (except
for trap messages).
The managed entities include a function called an SNMP agent, which is
responsible for interpretation and handling of the management station requests to
the managed entity, and the generation of properly formatted responses to the
management station.
SNMP Operations
The SNMP protocol includes four types of operations:
•
•
•
•
getRequest: Command for retrieving specific management information from
the managed entity. The managed entity responds with a getResponse
message.
getNextRequest: Command for retrieving sequentially specific management
information from the managed entity. The managed entity responds with a
getResponse message.
setRequest: Command for manipulating specific management information
within the managed entity. The managed entity responds with a getResponse
message.
trap: Management message carrying unsolicited information on extraordinary
events, which are events that occurred not in response to a management
operation reported by the managed entity.

Appendix C SNMP Management
Installation and Operation Manual
Management Information Base (MIB)
The MIB includes a collection of managed objects. A managed object is defined as
a parameter that can be managed, such as a performance statistics value. The MIB
includes the definitions of relevant managed objects. Various MIBs can be defined
for various management purposes or types of equipment.
An object definition includes the range of values (also called instances) and the
following access rights:
•
•
•
•
Read-only: Instances of that object can be read, but cannot be set.
Read-write: Instances of that object can be read or set.
Write-only: Instances of that object can be set, but cannot be read.
Not accessible: Instances of that object cannot be read, or set.
MIB Structure
The MIB has an inverted tree-like structure, with each definition of a managed
object forming one leaf, located at the end of a branch of that tree.
Each leaf in the MIB is reached by a unique path. Thus, by numbering the
branching points starting with the top, each leaf can be uniquely defined by a
sequence of numbers.
The formal description of the managed objects and the MIB structure is provided
in a special standardized format, called ASN.1 (Abstract Syntax Notation 1). Since
the general collection of MIBs can also be organized in a similar structure, under
IAB (Internet Activities Board) supervision, any parameter included in a MIB that is
recognized by the IAB is uniquely defined.
To provide the flexibility necessary in a global structure, MIBs are classified in
various classes (branches). One is the experimental branch and another the group
of private (enterprise-specific) branch.
Under the private enterprise-specific branch of MIBs, each enterprise
(manufacturer) can be assigned a number, which is its enterprise number. The
assigned number designates the top of an enterprise-specific sub-tree of non-
standard MIBs. Within this context, RAD has been assigned the enterprise number
164. Therefore, enterprise MIBs published by RAD can be found under
1.3.6.1.4.1.164.
MIBs of general interest are published by the IAB in the form of a Request for
Comment (RFC) document. In addition, MIBs are also often assigned informal
names that reflect their primary purpose. Enterprise-specific MIBs are published
and distributed by their originator, who is responsible for their contents.

MIBs Supported by the IPmux-11 SNMP Agent
The interpretation of the relevant MIBs is a function of the SNMP agent of each
managed entity. The general MIBs supported by the IPmux-11 SNMP agent are:
•
rfc1213.mib (except the interfaces view which is supported via RFC 2233)
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
ianaiftype.mib (defines the ifType)
rfc2233.mib (IF-MIB)
rfc2011.mib
rfc2012.mib
rfc2013.mib
rfc1907.mib
rfc2683.mib
rfc1215.mib
rfc1493.mib
rfc1643.mib
rfc2239.mib
rfc2494.mib
rfc2261.mib
rfc1695.mib
rfc2674.mib
rfc2819.mib
rfc2495.mib (except Far End objects and RW configuration objects which are
different for each configuration) - replaces RFC 1406; which is now obsolete.
•
IPmux RAD private mib.
The IPmux-11 object ID is
iso (1).org(3).dod(6).internet(1).private(4).enterprises(1).rad(164).radGen(6).
systems(1).radSysIPMux(3).IPmux11(106)
Enterprise-specific MIBs supported by RAD equipment, including IPmux-1/1E6,
are available in ASN.1 format from the RAD Technical Support department.
Management Domains under SNMP
In principle, SNMP allows each management station that recognizes the MIBs
supported by a device to perform all the management operations available on that
device. However, this is not desirable in actual practice, it is necessary to provide a
means to delimit management domains.

Appendix C SNMP Management
Installation and Operation Manual
SNMP Communities
SNMP delimits management domains by defining communities. Each community
is identified by a name, which is an alphanumeric string of up to 255 characters
defined by the user.
The IPmux-11 SNMP agent defines strings of up to 10 characters (case sensitive,
numeric and alphabetical).
Any SNMP entity (both managed entities and management stations) is assigned a
community name by its user. In parallel, the user defines a list of the communities
for each SNMP entity that are authorized to communicate with the entity, and the
access rights associated with each community (this is the SNMP community name
table of the entity).
In general, SNMP agents support two types of access rights:
Read-Only: The SNMP agent accepts and processes only SNMP getRequest and
getNextRequest commands from management stations which have a Read-Only
community name.
Read-Write: The SNMP agent accepts and processes all the SNMP commands
received from a management station with a Read-Write community name.
Authentication
In accordance with SNMP protocol, the SNMP community of the originating entity
is sent in each message.
When an SNMP message is received by the addressed entity, it first checks the
originator's community. Messages with community names not included in the
SNMP community names table of the recipient are discarded. SNMP agents of
managed entities usually report this event by means of an authentication failure
trap.
The SNMP agents of managed entities evaluate messages originated by
communities appearing in the agent's SNMP community names table in
accordance with the access rights, as previously explained. Thus, a setRequest for
a MIB object with read-write access rights will nevertheless be rejected if it comes
from a management station whose community has read-only rights with respect to
that particular agent.
Network Management Stations
The IPmux-11 SNMP agent stores the IP address of the Network Management
Station (NMS) that is intended to manage it.
