The CDD-880 and CDM-840 provide several means for configuring ECM operation via Remote
Product Control with a user-supplied PC:
• CDD-880 and CDM-840 HTTP (Web Server) Interfaces using a compatible Web browser.
• Ethernet-based Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) using a Network
Management System (NMS) and Management Information Base (MIB) File Browser.
COMTECH EF DATA RECOMMENDS USE OF THE ETHERNET-BASED SNMP INTERFACES
AND THE SERIAL-BASED REMOTE CONTROL INTERFACES FOR ADVANCED USERS
ONLY. COMTECH EF DATA STRONGLY ENCOURAGES USE OF THE PERTINENT HTTP
INTERFACES FOR MONITOR AND CONTROL (M&C) OF ADVANCED VSAT PRODUCTS.
You may proceed with Ethernet-based Remote Product Management (HTTP or
SNMP), assuming that:
• Your Advanced VSAT products are operating with their latest version firmware
files.
•
Your Advanced VSAT products are connected to a user-supplied, Windows-
based PC as follows:
o
The PC serial ports are connected to the CDD-880 and CDM-840 rear panel
‘CONSOLE’ ports with user-supplied serial cables.
o
The PC Ethernet ports are connected to the CDD-880 rear panel ‘ETHERNET
| TRAFFIC/MANAGEMENT | GE’ and CDM-840 rear panel ‘ETHERNET |
MANAGEMENT | FE’ Ethernet ports with user-supplied hubs, switches, or
direct Ethernet cable connections.
o
The PC is running a terminal emulation program (for operation of the Serial
Interfaces) and a compatible web browser (for operation of the HTTP
Interfaces) .
•
You have noted the CDD-880 and CDM-840 Management IP Addresses using
the pertinent Serial Interfaces.
• The HTTP interface figures as featured throughout this appendix are intended
for user reference only and are subject to change. The firmware information
(i.e., revision letters, version numbers, etc.) as displayed may differ from your
setup.
