2.1 INTRODUCTION
The transceiver’s embedded management system is accessible through
various data interfaces. These include the
COM1 (
serial) port,
LAN
(
Ethernet) port, and via SNMP. Essentially the same capabilities are
available through any of these paths.
For SNMP management, the transceiver is compatible with GE MDS
NETview MS
™ software. Refer to GE MDS publication 05-2973A01
for more information on this tool. For support of other SNMP software,
a set of MIB files is available for download from the GE MDS Web site
at
www.GEmds.com
. A brief summary of SNMP commands can be
found at
SNMP Agent Con
fi
guration
section on Page 47 of this manual.
The transceiver’s Management System and its functions are divided into
the following menu groups:
• Section 2.3,
BASIC DEVICE INFORMATION
(beginning on
Page 32)
• Section 2.4,
CONFIGURING NETWORK PARAMETERS
(beginning on Page 37)
• Section 2.5,
RADIO CONFIGURATION
(beginning on Page
51)
• Section 2.6,
CONFIGURING THE SERIAL PORTS
(beginning
on Page 61)
• Section 2.7,
CYBER SECURITY CONFIGURATION
(begin-
ning on Page 79)
• Section 2.8,
PERFORMANCE VERIFICATION
(beginning on
Page 85)
• Section 2.9,
MAINTENANCE
(beginning on Page 99)
Each of these sections has a focus that is reflected in its heading. The
section you are now reading provides information on connecting to the
Management System, how to navigate through it, how it is structured,
and how to perform top-level configuration tasks. Figure 2-1 on the fol-
lowing page shows a top-level view of the Management System (MS).
2.1.1 Differences in the User Interfaces
There are slight differences in navigation, but for the most part, the con-
tent is the same among different user interfaces. You will find a few dif-
ferences in capabilities as the communications tool is driven by
limitations of the access channel. Below are examples of the Starting
Information Screen seen through a terminal and a Web-browser, respec-
tively.
