Configuring the Z-Plex Quick start system configuration
Configuring the local management channel
The Z-Plex unit provides an out-of-band RS232 serial (craft) interface for managing the unit.
To access the serial port, configure your terminal interface software with the following
settings:
• 9600bps
• 8 stop bits
• No party
• 1 data bit
Configuring the DS0 management channel
The DS0 management channel encapsulates IP traffic in HDLC frames using DS0 24. The
following command enables the DS0 management channel:
SET T1CFG:DS0:1:ON
The next series of example commands configures the IP information for the DS0 interface:
user> SET CPUCFG:MASKHDL:1:255.255.255.252
user> SET CPUCFG:IPHDL:1:192.168.8.22
If you are connecting to an IMACs unit over the DS0 management channel, you must turn off
the HDLC headers that the Z-Plex unit normally uses to encapsulate the management traffic.
Note that only WAN 2 supports the DS0 management channel.
Configuring the Ethernet management channel
You can telnet to the Z-Plex over the Ethernet to manage the unit. You must first configure an
IP address and a netmask for the unit, as in the following example:
user> SET CPUCFG:MASK:1:255.255.255.252
user> SET CPUCFG:IP:1:192.168.8.21
After you have configured the IP address of the unit, you can telnet into it and configure it with
the CLI.
Configuring the IP over FDL management channel
The Z-Plex unit supports IP over FDL as a way to configure the system via the CLI. The IP
over FDL connection is different than the standard FDL interface which provides error
checking for T1 interfaces. The two FDL interfaces cannot be used at the same time.
