Management Server
Configuration
The Management Server is a generic name for a module or software that is used to remotely set up Mediatrix
4104 units. For instance, the Management Server could be the Media5’s Unit Manager Network product. See
“Unit Manager Network – Element Management System” on page xxii for more details.
Using the Management Server
You have the choice of setting up Mediatrix 4104 units directly with a SNMP browser or with the Management
Server. If you want to use the Management Server to setup the units, you shall tell these units how to reach
the Management Server.

To use the Management Server:
1. In the msMIB , locate the msEnable variable.
This variable enables the Management Server to remotely manage the Mediatrix 4104.
2. Set the msEnable variable to enable .
3. Set the Trap retransmission period ( msTrapRetransmissionPeriod variable) to the desired value.
The available values range from 10 ms to 604 800 000 ms (1 week). The default value is 60 000 ms.
4. Set the Trap retransmission retry count ( msTrapRetransmissionRetryCount variable) to the desired
value.
When the retry count is elapsed, the Mediatrix 4104 stops the provisioning sequence. The default
value is 10. If this variable is set to -1, then the provisioning sequence never stops. The trap is sent
until the Management Server replies.
Configuration Source
The Mediatrix 4104 must know the IP address and port number of the Management Server. You can assign
these information to the Mediatrix 4104 through a DHCP server or manually enter them yourself with the static
variables.
DHCP Configuration
Using the DHCP configuration assumes that you have properly set your DHCP server with the relevant
information. See
“Chapter 8 - IP Address and Network Configuration” on page 141 for more details.

To use DHCP-assigned information:
1. In the ipAddressConfig folder, locate the msSelectConfig Source variable.
This variable defines whether the Mediatrix 4104 shall get its Management Server configuration
through a DHCP server or not.
2. Set the msSelectConfigSource variable to dhcp .
You can query the Management Server’s IP address and port number assigned by the DHCP server
in the
msHost and msTrapPort read-only variables (in the ipAddressStatus folder).
In the Unit Manager Network Administration Manual , refer to chapter Administration Parameters , section Unit
Manager Server .
