4.2 NetXpress Configuration Procedures
After you confirm your equipment order and make any needed installations (Section 3.3 – Intraplex
NetXpress Equipment Unpacking and Installation ) perform these configuration procedures.
4.2.1 Connect and Log On to Access NetXpress Home Page
1. Connect a PC directly to the Ethernet MGMT port on the MIU-201 or MIU-202.
Note: The MIU automatically senses the media type and you may use a cable wired as straight-
through or a cross-over cable for this connection. Auto-negotiation is the default and your PC must
also be set up to auto-negotiate its IP connection.
2. Configure the IP address on the PC to be 192.168.1.10 using netmask 255.255.255.0.
3. Open your Web browser and access the NetXpress multiplexer using the default IP Address
192.168.1.1 for MGMT.
4. A prompt appears requiring you to type a user name and password to access the NetXpress Web
Interface. Type the default
User name = “admin” and Password = “admin”.
5. Click OK . If the credentials are accepted, the NetXpress Home page appears (Figure 4-1).
Figure 4-1. NetXpress Home Page
When you initially connect to the NetXpress system, this Home page appears, showing an overview of
the modules installed in the multiplexer. The NetXpress Release system software revision number
appears in the upper left of the window. Compare this installed version with the available updates
mentioned in Section 4.1 –
Software Downloads to assure you are running the most recent version. The
downloadable update packages also include installation instructions.
4.2.2 View System Mode
The operating System Mode also appears in the upper left of the Home page.
4.2.2.1 System Mode: E1
In this configuration the two electrical interfaces (“T1-E1 A” and “T1-E1 B”) communicate using E1 line
coding, formats and date rates (2.048Mbps) and all four of the NetXpress busses (TDM1A, TDM1B,
TDM2A and TDM2B) run at 2.048Mbps. Installed TDM Channel Modules also need to be E1 compatible in
order to operate properly. E1 mode does not support VF-15, VF-16A, VF-25, or VF-28 voice modules.
