MS 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 MDS
NETview MS™ software. Refer to 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 MDS Web site at
www.microwavedata.com. A brief summary of SNMP commands can
be found at
SNMP Agent Configuration
section on Page 46
of this
manual.
The transceiver’s Management System and its functions are divided into
five functional groups as listed below.
•
Section 3.3, BASIC DEVICE INFORMATION (beginning on
Page 36)
•
Section 3.4, CONFIGURING NETWORK PARAMETERS
(beginning on Page 40)
•
Section 3.5, RADIO CONFIGURATION (beginning on Page
48)
•
Section 3.6, CONFIGURING THE SERIAL INTERFACES
(beginning on Page 56)
•
Section 3.7, SECURITY CONFIGURATION (beginning on
Page 73)
•
Section 3.8, PERFORMANCE VERIFICATION (beginning on
Page 76)
•
Section 3.9, MAINTENANCE (beginning on Page 91)
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 3-1
on the fol-
lowing page shows a top-level view of the Management System (MS).
3.1.1 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.
