MANAGEMENT
5.1 Introduction
Ethernet‐based Remote Product Management of the CDD‐880 is available using the rear panel
‘ETHERNET | TRAFFIC / MANAGEMENT | GE’ RJ‐45 10/100/1000 BaseT Gigabit Ethernet traffic
and M&C port.
1. TO PROCEED WITH ETHERNET‐BASED REMOTE PRODUCT MANAGEMENT (SNMP
OR WEB SERVER), ASSUMPTIONS ARE MADE THAT:
• The CDD‐880 is operating with the latest version firmware files.
• The CDD‐880 is connected to a user‐supplied, Windows‐based PC as follows:
o The PC serial port is connected to the CDD‐880 rear panel ‘CONSOLE’
port with a user‐supplied serial cable.
o The PC Ethernet port is connected to the CDD‐880 rear panel ‘ETHERNET
| TRAFFIC / MANAGEMENT | GE’ 10/100/1000 BaseT Gigabit Ethernet
port with a user‐supplied hub, switch, or direct Ethernet cable
connection.
o The user PC is running a terminal emulation program (for operation of
the CDD‐880 Serial Command Line Interface) and a compatible Web
browser (for operation of the CDD‐880 Web Server Interface).
• The CDD‐880 Management IP Address has been noted using the CDD‐880
Serial Command Line Interface (CLI).
2. USE OF THE ETHERNET‐BASED SNMP INTERFACE IS RECOMMENDED ONLY FOR
ADVANCED USERS. ALL OTHER USERS ARE STRONGLY ENCOURAGED TO USE THE
CDD‐880 WEB SERVER INTERFACE FOR MONITOR AND CONTROL (M&C) OF THE
CDD‐880.
