Operation with IP Packet Processor
Functionality and selection of the IP Packet Processor's features and modes of operation, as
specified in the previous section, is seamless via the CDM-425 Advanced Satellite Modem's
operational interfaces. Equipment monitor and control (M&C) is possible via the methods outlined
in this section.
J.3.1 Front Panel Operation
Chapter 6. FRONT PANEL OPERATION
You can access a variety of nested menus to configure the options available whenever the CDM-
425 Advanced Satellite Modem is equipped with the IP Packet Processor.
J.3.2 Ethernet-based Remote Product Management
The 10/100 BaseT Ethernet Management Interface supports three management protocols for
remote M&C of the modem:
•
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.
•
HTTP (Web Server) Interface – This requires a compatible user-supplied web browser
such as Internet Explorer.
J.3.2.1
SNMP Interface
Chapter 7. ETHERNET-BASED REMOTE PRODUCT MANAGEMENT
The SNMP is an Internet-standard protocol for managing devices on IP networks. An SNMP-
managed network consists of three key components:
•
The managed device – This includes the CDM-425 Advanced Satellite Modem.
•
The SNMP Agent – The software that runs on the CDM-425 Advanced Satellite Modem.
The SNMP Agent supports both SNMPv1 and SNMPv2c.
•
The user-supplied Network Management System (NMS) – The software that runs on
the manager.
See Chapter 7. ETHERNET-BASED REMOTE PRODUCT MANAGEMENT, Sect. 7.3 SNMP
Interface for SNMP Interface details.
