Access via SNMP
The Multiband Block Converter may be accessed and monitored via the Simple Network
Management Protocol (SNMP). SNMP is designed for control of network elements from a
central management point.
The SNMP Management Information Base (MIB) file for the system, available from MITEQ
defines the specifics of the interface. This file is read by the chosen SNMP management tool to
provide an “understanding” of the interface. The MIB file is in a format that can be ready with
any text editor. Do NOT modify this file.
SNMP operating parameters may be set on the COMMS web page. If SNMP
operation is not desired, this feature may be rendered inaccessible by inserting a long arbitrary
string in the Read Community and Write Community fields.
Access via Telnet
The Converter may be accessed via Telnet. There is no special protocol on the Telnet channel;
the Converter will expect the same commands, and offer the same replies, as via the serial port.
Telnet access must first be enabled on the COMMS web page. If not being used, it is
recommended that it be left disabled for security reasons.
When a Telnet connection is established, the Converter will request the password, which should
be sent in the standard MITEQ wrapper (‘{‘<address byte (ignored)><password>’}’<checksum
byte>). The connection will be refused if a user is already logged in via the web interface.
Once the connection is established, standard serial commands may be sent and responses will
be received. Logout is automatic when the Telnet connection is broken.
