4 RU SSPA Chassis Operations Manual

•

LockIP – This address is used to increase the security measure for the IPNet
protocol. The SSPA will answer a request which comes only from a specified
IP address. Set this address value to 0.0.0.0 or 255.255.255.255 to disable
this feature.

2.2.1.11 IP Info Page 3

This page shows SSPA settings related to the IP interface.

•

CommunityGet – Security string used in SNMP protocol for Get type
requests. Set this value to match the value specified in the NMS or MIB
browser. Maximum string length is 20 alpha-numeric characters. The string
allows read operation for the RM SSPA SNMP agent.

•

CommunitySet – Security string used in SNMP protocol for Set type
requests. Set this value to match the value specified in the NMS or MIB
browser. For security reasons this string must be different than the
Community Get string. The maximum string length is 20 alpha-numeric
characters. The string allows write operation for the RM SSPA SNMP agent.

Community strings are essentially passwords. The user should use the same rules for
selecting them as for any other passwords: no dictionary words, spouse names, etc.
An alphanumeric string with mixed upper- and lower-case letters is generally a good
idea.

2.2.1.12 IP Info Page 4

This page indicates the selected password for the web page interface. A blank space
indicates that the web interface will not require a password protected login.

2.2.1.13 Firmware Info Page 1

This page is available through the Operation Setup menu, and provides information
about the SSPA MCU firmware revision level.

2.2.1.14 Firmware Info Page 2 (version 4.0)

This page provides additional SSPA information.

•

SSPA ID – SSPA unique serial and model number.

•

UserInfo – User information string, which could be set over SNMP protocol
(see SNMP MIB info for details)

2.2.1.15 Firmware Info Pages 3, 4, 5 and 6 (version 4.0)

These pages contain information about the firmware revision level and unique ID of
each RF module. A SSPA may contain one to four RF modules. Pages will remain
blank if a particular module is not installed.
