CDM-425 Advanced Satellite Modem
Revision 0
Appendix J J–6 MN-CDM-425
J.3 Operation with IP Packet Processor
Functionality and selection of the IP Packet Processor’s features and modes of operation, as
specified in the previous section, is seamless via the CDM-425 Advanced Satellite Modem’s
operational interfaces. Equipment monitor and control (M&C) is possible via the methods outlined
in this section.
J.3.1 Front Panel Operation
Chapter 6. FRONT PANEL OPERATION
You can access a variety of nested menus to configure the options available whenever the CDM-
425 Advanced Satellite Modem is equipped with the IP Packet Processor.
J.3.2 Ethernet-based Remote Product Management
The 10/100 BaseT Ethernet Management Interface supports three management protocols for
remote M&C of the modem:
•
Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) – This requires a user-supplied
Network Management System (NMS) and a user-supplied Management Information Base
(MIB) File Browser.
•
Telnet Interface – This requires use of a user-supplied terminal emulation program such as
HyperTerminal (for use with the remote control protocol) or PuTTY (for use with the Telnet
Command Line Interface), installed on the user PC.
•
HTTP (Web Server) Interface – This requires a compatible user-supplied web browser
such as Internet Explorer.
J.3.2.1 SNMP Interface
Chapter 7. ETHERNET-BASED REMOTE PRODUCT MANAGEMENT
The SNMP is an Internet-standard protocol for managing devices on IP networks. An SNMP-
managed network consists of three key components:
•
The managed device – This includes the CDM-425 Advanced Satellite Modem.
•
The SNMP Agent – The software that runs on the CDM-425 Advanced Satellite Modem.
The SNMP Agent supports both SNMPv1 and SNMPv2c .
•
The user-supplied Network Management System (NMS) – The software that runs on
the manager.
