Chapter 4. ETHERNET
INTERFACE OPERATION
4.1 Overview
Operation of the LPOD Ethernet Interface is available when you connect a user-
supplied, windows-based PC to the 19-pin 'J6 | COM1' communications port on
the LPOD using the appropriate adapter cable.
Three protocols are available to use for Ethernet remote M&C. Operate these
protocols separately.
• Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP). This requires a user-
supplied Network Monitoring System (NMS) and a user-supplied
Management Information Base (MIB) File Browser.
CAUTION
Comtech EF Data recommends use of the Ethernet-based SNMP
interface for advanced users only. All other users are strongly
encouraged to use the LPOD HTTP Interface for remote Monitor
and Control (M&C) of the LPOD.
• Telnet Interface. You may use the serial remote control protocol via this
interface. This requires use of Windows Command-line, or a user-
supplied terminal emulation program such as HyperTerminal.
• HTTP (Web Server) Interface. This requires a compatible user-supplied
web browser such as Internet Explorer.
4.1.1 Prerequisites
Before you proceed with Ethernet remote product management, make sure the
following is true:
• The LPOD is operating with the latest version firmware files.
