Chapter 7. SERIAL-BASED REMOTE PRODUCT
7.1

Overview

Serial-based Remote Product Management of the CDM-840 Remote Router is available using the CDM-840 rear panel 'CONSOLE' port.
1) THE SERIAL-BASED REMOTE PRODUCT MANAGEMENT INTERFACE IS INTENDED TO PROVIDE TWO IMPORTANT
CAPABILITIES:
•
FIRST, IT ALLOWS YOU TO ESTABLISH IP COMMUNICATIONS (HTTP, SNMP) WHEN THE UNIT IS FIRST BEING
CONFIGURED.
• SECOND, THE INTERFACE ALLOWS YOU TO BRING THE CDM-840 BACK ONLINE THROUGH THE SERIAL OR TELNET
INTERFACE OVER A VERY SLOW SPEED "BACKUP CHANNEL".
THIS INTERFACE IS NOT INTENDED TO BE A FULL FEATURED INTERFACE TO CONFIGURE ALL ASPECTS OF THE MODEM.
RATHER, ITS PURPOSE IS TO PROVIDE ENOUGH COMMANDS TO ALLOW A TERMINAL TO BE BROUGHT BACK ONLINE.
ONCE YOU RE-ESTABLISH COMMUNICATIONS, YOU MAY USE THE STANDARD INTERFACES (HTTP, SNMP, NETVUE) TO
EXECUTE ANY ADDITIONAL DETAILED CONFIGURATION/CONTROL/MONITORING FUNCTIONS.
COMTECH EF DATA RECOMMENDS USE OF THE SERIAL-BASED REMOTE PRODUCT MANAGEMENT INTERFACE ONLY FOR
ADVANCED USERS.
