Chapter 4 Management via the CM-2 Module LRS-24 Installation and Operation Manual
4-2 Introduction
After performing the preliminary configuration, you can also manage the modules
installed in LRS-24 (equipped with the CM-2 module) using the following options:
• Manage all the modules installed in LRS-24 (including modules without
internal SNMP agents) by means of SNMP-based network management
stations . This is accomplished by connecting the station to the Ethernet port
located on the interface module serving the CM-2 module, LRSI-F1-CM2 or
LRSI-F2-CM2 through RS-232 using the SLIP Protocol. For example, you can
use the RADview network management station offered by RAD.
• Use the terminal as a supervision terminal under control of the software
installed in the CM-2 module, or in modules with supervision-terminal support
software.
• Manage via TELNET (terminal emulation).
1. If a key is not pressed for 10-15 minutes a message appears informing you that
you are disconnected from LRS-24. You must reconnect your terminal to
LRS-24.
2. Only one user can connect to LRS-24 at a time. If a second user tries to connect
to LRS-24 a message appears (see Chapter 5).
3. If Password Enable = YES and you do not press a key for 20 minutes a message
appears informing you that “You’re disconnected”. Press any key and the Password
Screen appears.
CM-2 Functions
CM-2 includes an advanced management module that enables using SNMP-based
network management stations to fully manage the equipment installed in LRS-24,
and monitor its status.
CM-2 performs the following functions:
• Identification of cards – automatically identifies the modules installed in the
LRS-24 hub and determines the internal management protocols supported by
each card. Basically, two types of protocols are used, one for managing
modules with internal SNMP agent, and another for managing modules
without agent.
• Initialization – automatically initializes the management parameters for each
module installed in LRS-24. This feature provides plug-and-play capabilities,
because the management system can always make contact and manage any
new module installed in LRS-24.
• Traps – remote connection involves an update in the management station’s
screen in order to receive Traps.
• Interface – provides the interface to SNMP-based network management
stations, and the interface required for using an ASCII terminal connected to
the CM-2 module as a supervision terminal.
