L.3 CDM-625A 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-625A’s operational interfaces.
Equipment monitor and control (M&C) is possible via the methods outlined in this section.
L.3.1 Front Panel Operation
Chapter 6. FRONT PANEL OPERATION
Using the keypad on the front panel, you may access a variety of nested
menus to configure the options available whenever the CDM-625A is
equipped with the IP Packet Processor.
L.3.2 Ethernet-based Remote Product Management
The CDM-625A 10/100 BaseT Ethernet Management Interface supports three management
protocols for remote monitor and control (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.
•
CDM-625A HTTP (Web Server) Interface – This requires a compatible user-supplied web
browser such as Internet Explorer.
L.3.2.1 SNMP Interface
Sect. 7.3 SNMP Interface (Chapter 7. ETHERNET-BASED REMOTE PRODUCT
MANAGEMENT)
The
Simple Network Management Protocol
(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-625A Advanced Satellite Modem.
•
The SNMP Agent – The software that runs on the CDM-625A. The CDM-625A SNMP Agent
supports both SNMPv1 and SNMPv2c .
•
The user-supplied Network Management System (NMS) – The software that runs on the
manager.
