Annex Manager is a graphical user interface that allows you to conﬁgure one or more Annexes easily and quickly. Annex Manager’s window software gives you access to all Annex SNMP-conﬁgurable parameters and commands. The Annex Manager User Guide is intended for System Administrators or others who need to conﬁgure Annex remote access communication servers.
Page 14 Preface Chapter 5, Setup Mode Basics describes the windows and special features of the Setup mode. Chapter 6, Selecting General Settings discusses how to use the two General windows in Setup mode to set the most commonly-used Annex parameters. Chapter 7, Setting Asynchronous Port Values explains how to select and edit asynchronous port settings and modem deﬁnitions in Setup Mode.
Page 15 Part 4, Control and Status Commands: Chapter 16, Booting and Resetting Annexes provides instructions for the Chapter 17, Displaying Status Information describes the commands that give you status information for Annexes, ports, channels, and interfaces.

It operates over the User Datagram Protocol (UDP), which is part of the TCP/IP protocol suite.

Message Delivery SNMP messages are encapsulated in UDP datagrams. The UDP layer does not guarantee delivery. When Annex Manager transmits a command, the agent is expected to respond with an error message get-next or with the requested data. Annex Manager uses a timeout and retry mechanism to guarantee the SNMP command’s delivery.

Page 404 Chapter 20 Troubleshooting “Parameter does not exist” Message? Not all parameters apply to all Annex hardware conﬁgurations or all software releases. Since Annex Manager must support all parameters for all Annex hardware and software, you may see this message when you compare one Annex’s port conﬁguration to a port on a different Annex, when you copy parameters from one Annex to another, or when you use commands.
Page 405 BadWindow Error on Startup Some X window terminals (possibly depending on the type of Xserver or on other applications which have been run recently), will display a BadWindow error when you start Annex Manager. Currently, the only known way to clear this problem is to reset the X window server.
Page 406 Chapter 20 Troubleshooting Resetting Modems If you encounter problems resetting modems using the commands or Reset the Modem windows in the Setup mode, increasing the SNMP timeout values may alleviate this problem. Boot Status Annex Manager does not automatically update the current status of each Annex (e.g., ) when you attempt a boot operation.
