Chapter 7. ETHERNET

INTERFACE OPERATION

7.1

Overview

Operation of the Ethernet Interface is available when you connect a user-

supplied, Windows-based PC to the LBC-4000 rear panel ‘10/100 ETHERNET’

100BaseTX RJ-45 port.

The LBC-4000 L-Band Up/Down Converter System, as initially released,

does not feature a rear panel ‘

10/100 ETHERNET

’ port. Only current

production units offer Ethernet Interface operation. See

Chapter 4.

FRONT AND REAR PANEL CONNECTORS

for more information.

Three protocols are available for Ethernet remote M&C. Operate these protocols

separately.

•

Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP). This requires a user-

supplied Network Monitoring System (NMS) and a user-supplied

Management Information Base (MIB) File Browser.

CAUTION

Comtech EF Data recommends use of the Ethernet-based SNMP

interface for advanced users only. All other users are strongly

encouraged to use the HTTP (Web Server) Interface for remote

Monitor and Control (M&C) of the unit.

•

Telnet Interface. You may use the serial remote control protocol via this

interface. This requires use of Windows Command-line, or a user-

supplied terminal emulation program such as HyperTerminal.

•

HTTP Interface. This requires a compatible user-supplied web browser

such as Internet Explorer.
