CommPlete Communications Server 19
SNMP Interface
The MR9600-100 can be monitored and controlled by using SNMP through the MultiModemManager or a
third party SNMP manager.
Note that SNMP issues relate to the SNMP-managed MR9600-100 controller, but not to the unmanaged
CC9600HB-100 Ethernet switch.
To receive traps from the MR9600-100, the SNMP manager should log in using the entry in the system
table. In that entry, do a set of “login PUBLIC.” When you are done monitoring the MR9600-100, do a set
of the same variable with “logout.” This will stop traps being sent to your station. MultiModemManager
does this automatically.
Command Line Interface
The MR9600-100 provides a complete command line interface that enables you to do most of your
management functions through either the MR9600-100’s diagnostic serial connector or, more likely, by
using Telnet. When first setting up your MR9600-100, you must use the MR9600-100 diagnostic serial
connector to set up the system’s TCP/IP information, such as its IP address, default gateway IP address,
etc., as described in the MR9600-100 Quick Start in Chapter 3.
When you first connect with the MR9600-100, either in Telnet or by using the serial port, you will be
prompted for a user ID and password. Enter the correct user ID and password for the desired security level
(see “Security” on page 18). Once you are logged in, the screen should show the following information.

The command line prompt is the current directory followed by a
#
character. You can switch between the
MR9600-100’s two drives, A and B, by using the cd command or by typing A: or B: . A standard set of DOS
and UNIX file system commands are available, though in limited fashion (no wildcards are supported,
etc.). See Chapter 5 for command functions and limitations.
Some commands allow you to monitor activity on the CommPlete’s modems. The commands
getmodems , getcalls , and getfaults allow you to see the current state of the modems, the connection
history of the modems, and the history of faults on the modems, respectively.
Information that does not fit on the screen is displayed one page at a time by using a
--MORE--
prompt. When you see this prompt, you have the option of quitting the list by typing Q or continuing the
list by typing anything else.
Some commands allow you to change the current state of the modems. With the commands oosset,
oosclear , reset , and config , you can set modems in or out of service; reset them, or configure them,
respectively.
Use the logout command when you are done using the command line interface, in order to leave the
MR9600-100 in a secure state.
For a complete list of the MR9600-100’s commands, see Chapter 5.
