3. Device Configuration and Monitoring
3.1 Control interfaces
The DTE-3114 can be configured and monitored in two ways:
 Through a web-based front end (“web GUI”), see section 3.3;
 Using SNMP, see section 3.4
The web GUI is intended for human interaction with the DTE-3114, while SNMP is aimed at
automated management and control by a Network Management System.
The two control interfaces, web and SNMP, can be used in parallel to each other. In addition each
interface can be used multiple times in parallel, e.g. two web browser sessions may connect to the
same DTE-3114.
3.2 Manageable items
The table below provides a list of variables and concepts that can be configured and/or monitored
using the web and/or SNMP interface. Two columns are added, one for the web interface and one
for SNMP, to indicate whether the variable is Read Only (RO), Write Only (WO), Read/Write (R/W)
or not applicable to this interface (NA).
3.2.1 Device
Variable Description Web SNMP
Device type Device type number: 3114 for DTE-3114 RO RO
Serial number Unique serial number for the device. It always starts with

RO RO
Hardware revision Hardware revision number RO RO
Firmware version Firmware version number RO RO
Power status Indicates which power source is used. The DTE-3114 can
be powered from an external power-supply or via the
Ethernet connector (PoE)
RO RO
Temperature Internal device temperature. When the temperature is
above 85˚C / 185˚F, the web interface will display the
temperature in red
RO RO
Display identification String, maximally 5 characters long, displayed at the top
of the LCD display. Can be used as device “name” for
identification purposes
R/W R/W
Network link speed Link speed of the network connection
(100/100/1000Mbps)
RO RO
Watchdog counter Counter that keeps the number of times the processor is
restarted because of a watchdog alarm. The watchdog is
a piece of electronic circuitry that monitors system activity
and generates an alarm when the software in the
DTE-3114 crashes or hangs
NA RO
Power cycle counter Counter that keeps the number of power cycles NA RO
