Management 

In the TrangoLINK-10 system, the MU controls most functions of its associated RU.  For this reason it is important to consider 
that you will manage your TrangoLINK-10 system primarily through the MU.    
 
Network management can be performed by three methods 

 

Browser Interface 

 

CLI 

 

  

Appendix A – Command Set Reference 

 

SNMP Manager   

Discussed in this section. 

RU Management 

Most management functions of the RU can be performed by issuing commands from the MU. 

 

As an example, to change the RUs IP, subnet, and gateway:  

ru ipconfig [ <new ip>][<new subnet>][<new gateway>] 

Example:  

ru ipconfig 192.168.10.10 255.255.255.0 192.168.10.1 

 

From the command line interface type ru for a listing of all ru commands.  Example: 

 
#> ru 
 
[Remote ID] 00 01 DE 01 AD B5  [Status] connected  [RSSI] -47 dBm 
[Downstream MIR] 10000 kbps [Upstream MIR] 10000 kbps 
[Downstream] 0 kbps [Upstream] 0 kbps 
 
ru ipconfig <new ip> <new subnet> <new gateway> 
ru ping 
ru powerleveling 
ru reboot 
ru speedtest [<pkt len (byte), 64..1760> [<file size (MBytes), 10, 100>] 
ru sysinfo 
ru testrflink [<pkt len, 64..1760>] 
 
#> 

 

A complete description of these commands and many others can be found in Appendix A – Command Set Reference. 

SNMP 

TrangoLINK-10 supports Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) for network management.  Network management 
consists of the following 4 categories: configuration, accounting, alarm, and monitoring and control.  These capabilities allow 
the network operator to provide superior services through higher network accessability and integrated accounting system.  For 
more information on SNMP and its uses, you can visit http://www.faqs.org/faqs/snmp-faq/

.   

 

The Trango SNMP solution supports MIB-II (system only) and the Trango proprietary Management Information Base (MIB).  
SNMP agents reside on both the MU and RU.  

 

Users interested in using the SNMP functionality should review the entire TrangoLINK-10 MIB for a complete understanding 
of its features.    

 

The following is an overview of a few of the more commonly used SNMP objects in the TrangoLINK-10 system.
