Management
Access
Dial-In
When using a PC (desktop or laptop) to establish management access to a NetPath 100,
ensure that the VT-100 configuration is set to use flow control, and that the BAUD rate
does not exceed 57600 (56Kbps).
Some emulation programs will automatically configure to the highest rates available
(such as 115200), and this may cause the dropping of characters while NetPath is re-
turning a screen to the PC terminal.
Direct Connect
(AUX 2)
When AUX 2 Console Mode is enabled (a console terminal is direct-connected), the
internal Modem is disabled and unavailable for incoming or outgoing calls.
SNMP SET
Command
NetPath 100 supports SNMP “Set.” Set is compliant with SNMP Version 1, but imple-
mented with CRC proprietary features that include security through the SNMP control
group. To use these security features, you must log in through SNMP and apply Set to
the SNMP objects that are settable. Complete the following steps.
1.
Before you begin, be sure that an SNMP community is configured for Read/
Write access within the NetPath 100.
2.
Define a community name within the SNMP manager that matches the SNMP
community in the NetPath 100.
3.
Choose the node you wish to configure and access the NetPath 100 Group within
the MIB.
4.
Select the “SnmpSetCtl” object from within the NetPath 100 group.
5.
Confirm that an SNMP session is not currently active by performing a GET on
the “SNMPSetExecutionStatus” object. A value of “passive” should be returned.
If “active” is returned, the IP address of the current user can be obtained by
performing a GET on the “LoggedNMSIPAddress” object.
Note: The following three objects must be configured in the order described.
6.
Select the “SNMPSystemAccessPassword” object. Enter the NetPath system
access password and choose Set.
Note: A value must be entered even if no system password exists.
7.
Select the “SNMPUserAccessPassword” object. Enter the user password and
choose SET.
8.
Select the “SNMPOperatorID” object. Enter the operator ID and choose SET.
Note: A value must be entered.
