Page 12: Monitor/Control Interface
5. Monitor / Control Interfaces 5.1. Telnet 5.1.1. Command Format The telnet interface is designed as a machine interface, and therefore characters sent to the unit are not echoed as this imposes undue difficulties on the transmitting device. Command format is of the form : [Command][Space][Data][Enter] Where;...
Page 13 5.1.2. Login To login to the unit via the telnet interface, it is necessary to provide a user name and password. The user name is user definable, e.g. Admin. The password can be numbers only and the default password is 123456. 5.1.3.

Page 15 5.1.4. Help Screens When used with a standard interface such as Hyper terminal, it can be helpful to be able to quickly see available commands and their formats. The unit includes both a summary help screen, that provides a quick reference for available commands, and reports the currently set values of the various parameters, and also multi-line help for each of the commands.

Page 18 5.1.5. Status, Opstat, and Anstat Commands The Status command is provided as a means of obtaining a quick summary of the status of the unit, and provides summary information on each of the Auto switch channels, together with other settings such as the Manual mode and telnet timeouts, Ethernet status etc.
Page 19 The Anstat command is provides a summary representation of the analog RF output values for each of the RF channel inputs and outputs. Anstat Screen Note: Internally the outputs are provided through individual modules referred to as “Quad Blocks”, providing 4 outputs (either RF, Digital, or Time Code) per module. The unit is also divided into three rows of 12 outputs, the top row being referred to as Row A, the middle as row B, and the bottom as row C.

Command Format The RS232 command format has been designed to have an identical look and feel as the telnet interface. The main difference is that the RS232 is primarily provided for local control and therefore the commands are echoed.
Page 21 5.3. SNMP Agent 5.3.1. General The Auto switch/Distribution unit includes an SNMP agent (SNMPv1) using the standard UDP interface and providing basic information on the unit (location, capabilities etc.) together with traps on alarm conditions that are sent to the address set as the SNMP manager IP address.
