3.4 SNMP Interface
The MR4800E can be controlled/monitored using SNMP through the MultiModemManager or a third
party SNMP manager.
To receive traps from the MR4800E, the SNMP manager should login using the entry in the system
table. In that entry, do a set of "login PUBLIC". When you are done monitoring the MR4800E, do a
set of the same variable with "logout". This will stop traps being sent to your station.
MultiModemManager does this automatically.
3.5 Command Line Interface
The MR4800E provides a complete command line interface so that you can do most of your
management functions through either the MR4800E diagnostic serial connector or (more likely) by
using Telnet. When first setting up your MR4800E you must use the MR4800E diagnostic serial
connector to set up the system's TCP/IP information (such as it's IP address, Default Gateway IP
address, etc., as specified in the MR4800E Quick Start in Chapter 2).
When you first come up, either in Telnet or by using the serial port, you will be prompted for a user id
and password. Enter in the correct user id and password for the desired security level (see above for
a description of the security levels). Once logged in, the screen should show the following
information.

The command line prompt is the current directory followed by a '#' character. There are two drives
formatted on the MR4800E, A and B, and you can switch between them by using the CD command or
by typing A: or B:. A standard set of DOS and UNIX file system commands are available, albeit in
limited fashion (no wildcards are supported, etc.). See Chapter 4 for the command reference to see
how each of the commands are supported.
There are commands that allow you to monitor activity on the modems in the rack. 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 is displayed which goes beyond the size of the screen, will be output a page at a
time using a "--MORE--" prompt. When you get this prompt, you have the option of quitting the list by
typing "Q" or continuing the list by typing anything else.
There are commands that allow you to change the current state of the modems. With the commands
OOSSET, OOSCLEAR, RESET, CONFIG, you can set modems in or out of service; reset them or
configure them, respectively.
LOGOUT should be used when you are done using the command line interface so that the MR4800E
is left in a secure state.
See Chapter 4 for a complete list of the commands that are available for use.
