Ethernet-based Remote Product Management Revision 4
6–2
6.2 Ethernet Management Interface Protocols
The user PC facilitates access to Ethernet-based remote monitor and control (M&C) of the
MBT-5000 through three separately-operated protocols:
• 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 the user PC’s Command-line interface, or a user-supplied
terminal emulation program such as HyperTerminal.
• MBT-5000 HTTP (Web Server) Interface. This requires a compatible user-supplied Web
browser such as Internet Explorer.
For SNMP, Telnet, or HTTP operation, the MBT-5000 must be configured with the
Ethernet control option. Via the front panel, select CONFIG: Remote Control

Ethernet. See Chapter 5. FRONT PANEL OPERATION for further information.
