Ethernet Management Interface Protocols

The user PC facilitates access to Ethernet-based remote M&C of the CDM-625A through three
separately operated protocols:
•
Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) – This requires a user-supplied Network
Management System (NMS) and a user-supplied Management Information Base (MIB) File
Browser.
•
Telnet Interface – This requires use of a user-supplied terminal emulation program such as
HyperTerminal (for use with the remote control protocol) or PuTTY (for use with the Telnet
Command Line Interface), installed on the user PC.
• CDM-625A HTTP (Web Server) Interface – This requires a compatible user-supplied web
browser such as Internet Explorer, installed on the user PC.
