3. Network Connection
One of the conditions that have to be met before you’re able to manage your
GSM1010M is to have the device connected to a network (IP).
This connection is achieved through the Ethernet (10BaseT) port on the device.
Naturally, this port has to be connected to a network, in which the management
station resides. Please note that all management traffic is transmitted out-of-band as
it leaves the GSM1010M.
At this point your GSM1010M is ready to be managed by any Network Manager, or
any Telnet terminal running on the network. In order to obtain management
functionality over the GSM1010M, you should install the MIB file and define the
GSM1010M object in the management application (see next section).
The drawing below depicts the GSM1010M functionality
Note :The remote device can be GSM1010M or GSM1000/MA/GSM1010/MA
The GSM1010M and remote GSM1010M/GSM10x0/MA units can be monitored and
managed from any SNMP management station running popular management
platforms (e.g. HP OpenView, SNMPc, or FibroLAN MetroView in future versions)
When the remote MA enabled devices (GSM10x0/MA) are connected through their F/O
link to a Master GSM1010M which is MA™ enabled and SNMP managed, a
comprehensive set of monitoring and control functions can be implemented (through the
Master GSM1010M) into GSM1000/MA or GSM1010/MA remote devices.
When the remote attached device is a GSM1010M unit, then it is managed
as a separate entity (like the Master GSM1010M)
