Chapter 17 The Remote Management Screens

17.1.2 What You Need to Know

The following terms and concepts may help as you read through this chapter.
Remote Management Limitations
Remote management over LAN or WAN will not work when:
1 A filter in SMT menu 3.1 (LAN) or in menu 11.5 (WAN) is applied to block a Telnet,
FTP or Web service.
2 You have disabled that service in one of the remote management screens.
3 The IP address in the Secured Client IP field does not match the client IP address. If it
does not match, the WiMAX Modem will disconnect the session immediately.
4 There is already another remote management session with an equal or higher priority
running. You may only have one remote management session running at one time.
Remote Management and NAT
When NAT is enabled:
• Use the WiMAX Modem's WAN IP address when configuring from the WAN.
• Use the WiMAX Modem's LAN IP address when configuring from the LAN.
System Timeout
There is a default system management idle timeout of five minutes (three hundred seconds).
The WiMAX Modem automatically logs you out if the management session remains idle for
longer than this timeout period. The management session does not time out when a statistics
screen is polling. You can change the timeout period in the Maintenance > System > General
screen.
SNMP
Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is a protocol used for exchanging
management information between network devices. SNMP is a member of the TCP/IP
protocol suite. Your WiMAX Modem supports SNMP agent functionality, which allows a
manager station to manage and monitor the WiMAX Modem through the network. The
WiMAX Modem supports SNMP version one (SNMPv1) and version two (SNMPv2). The
next figure illustrates an SNMP management operation.
SNMP is only available if TCP/IP is configured.
