Setting system information
The system information includes the following parameters:
•
Contact
•
Hostname
•
Location
•
Provider
•
Subscriber
•
Supplier
By default there is no information specified for any of the above parameters.
System contact information tells the user how to contact the information service, e.g. the help line of the ser-
vice provider. The contact information may be any alphanumeric string, including spaces, that is no longer
than one line. This entry corresponds to the MIB II system sysContact object.
The system name, also called the hostname, is used to uniquely identify the IPLink in your network. The
selected name should follow the rules for ARPANET hostnames. Names must start with a letter, end with a let-
ter or digit, and have as interior characters only letters, digits, and hyphens. Names must be 63 characters or
fewer. For more information, refer to RFC 1035. This entry corresponds to the MIB II system sysName object.
After setting the hostname of the IPLink the CLI prompt will be replaced with the chosen name.
Assigning explanatory location information to describe the system physical location of your IPLink (e.g. server
room, wiring closet, 3rd floor, etc.) is very supportive. This entry corresponds to the MIB II system sysLoca-
tion object.
The system provider information is used to identify the provider contact for this IPLink device, together with
information on how to contact this provider. The provider is a company making services available to subscrib-
ers. The provider information may be any alphanumeric string, including spaces, that is no longer than one
line. This entry corresponds to the Patton Electronics enterprise-specific MIB provider object.
The system subscriber information is used to get in touch with subscriber for this IPLink device, together with
information on how to contact this subscriber. The subscriber is a company or person using one or more ser-
vices from a provider. The subscriber information may be any alphanumeric string, including spaces, that is no
longer than one line. This entry corresponds to the Patton Electronics enterprise-specific MIB subscriber
object.
The system supplier information is used to get in touch with the supplier for this IPLink device, together with
information on how to contact this supplier. The supplier is a company delivering IPLink devices to a provider.
The supplier information may be any alphanumeric string, including spaces, that is no longer than one line.
This entry corresponds to the Patton Electronics enterprise-specific MIB supplier object.
