3.6 Telnet Interface
Telnet is an Internet standard protocol that allows the remote login between two systems connected
to a TCP/IP network (such as the Internet). The MR4800E can be managed remotely by using Telnet.
Telnet will give the user access to all management functions through the command line interface.
There is an inactivity timer associated with the Telnet session. If there is no activity for 10 minutes,
then the Telnet session will close.
3.7 Web Browser Interface
The MR4800E can be monitored/controlled from a Web browser such as Netscape Navigator version
2.0 or later or Microsoft Internet Explorer version 3.0 or later.
There are two main interfaces available: a HTML framed interface (where the browser screen is split
into Frames holding different information ) and a Non-Framed interface. To get to the framed interface
type in the following URL in your browser’s URL entry line and hit enter.
http://111.222.333.444/mmm/main.html
For the Non-Framed interface, use the following URL:
http://111.222.333.444/mmm/standard.html
where 111.222.333.444 is your card’s IP address.
3.7.1 Logging In
Whenever you access the MR4800E for first time during a browser session (since the browser
program was run), you will be prompted for a user ID and password. You must login as someone of
operator level of security or higher to get access to the Web interface.
Once logged in both interfaces present the users with a list of available views (Framed or Standard),
a list of operations, and a list of information views. These are all available via HTML hot-links.
3.7.2 Getting Modem Information
In each interface the same information is available in table format. There are tables of information
about modems, calls on modems, modem faults and system faults, and system version. In the
framed version these tables appear in each of the frames, in the non-framed version each of the
tables appear on a separate HTML page.
3.7.3 Controlling Modems
In each interface, the user can also reset modems, set in/out-of service modems, and configure
modems. When the user selects the hot-link for that operation, they are presented with a form where
they enter (in list format - e.g., 1A:3C,15B) which modems are to have the desired operation
performed on them. After entering this list, the operation is performed when the user selects the
“action” button (e.g., Config if the user is configuring modems).
3.7.4 Web Interface Limitations
The Web interface does not provide the full management interface at this point (full management is
provide either through our MultiModemManager software, or through the use of a 3rd Party SNMP
manager). Once the system is set up though, most management can be done using the Web
Browser interface.
