Introduction

Ethernet-based Remote Product Management is available through the CDM-760 rear panel J4 |
MGMT RJ-45 10/100 BaseT Fast Ethernet M&C port or, when the optional High-Speed Packet
Processor is installed and enabled, the P0 | MGMT port.
To proceed with Ethernet-based Remote Product Management (SNMP OR WEB
SERVER), assumptions are made that:
• The CDM-760 is operating with the latest version firmware files.
•
The CDM-760 is connected to a user-supplied, Windows-based PC, and:
o The PC serial port is connected to the CDM-760 rear panel J3 | REMOTE port
o The PC Ethernet port is connected to either the CDM-760 rear panel J4 |
o The PC is running a terminal emulation program (for operation of the
• The CDM-760 Management IP Address has been noted using the CDM-760 Serial
Interface.

Ethernet Management Interface Protocols

Ethernet-based remote monitor and control (M&C) of the CDM-760 is available via the User PC
through three separately-operated non-secure protocols:
• Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP). This interface requires a user-supplied
Network Management System (NMS) and a user-supplied Management Information Base
(MIB) File Browser.
• Telnet Interface. This interface is accessible using Windows Command-line, or requires that you
install a user-supplied terminal emulation program (such as HyperTerminal) on the User PC.
•
HTTP (Web Server) Interface. This interface requires a compatible user-supplied web browser
such as Internet Explorer.
