System Configuration And Operation Via Console Port - Alvarion BreezeACCESS LB System Manual

Chapter 3 - Commissioning
Network management systems consist of two primary elements:
managers and agents. The manager is the console through which the
network administrator performs network management functions. Agents
are the entities that interface to the actual devices being managed.
The LB NI-01 is an example of a 'managed device'. Managed devices
contain managed objects that may be hardware, configuration
parameters, performance statistics, etc. that directly relate to the
operation of the device in question, and are contained in a virtual
information database known as a Management Information Base, or
'MIB'. SNMP allows managers and agents to communicate for the
purpose of accessing these objects.
Management information bases (MIBs) are a collection of definitions,
which define the properties of the managed object within the device to
be managed. Every managed device keeps a database of values for each
of the definitions written in the MIB. The MIB is not the actual database
itself - it is implementation dependant. The latest Internet MIB is given
in RFC 1213, sometimes known as MIB-II.

System Configuration and Operation via Console Port

All operator communications with the LB NI-01 indoor unit may be
made using a direct connection to the serial Console Port on the back of
the indoor unit. This section describes the procedures for configuring
and operating the LB NI-01 indoor unit via the Console Port using the
command line interface (CLI).
Connect a PC/Terminal to the LB NI-01 indoor unit's serial port DB9
connector using a cross-connect or null modem cable (DB9 female-
female). Set the PC/Terminal to emulate a VT-52 or VT-100 terminal.
Use the following port settings:
Bits Per Second: 9600
Data Bits: 8
Parity: None
Stop Bits: 1
Flow Control: Hardware
Hit the 'Enter' key – the LB NI-01 prompt will appear.
